FOLYKAZE:
Firstly, define restructuring.

Please did you read this from the beginning?
If you did not, go back.

bantudra:


i know what you mean..but we are not ready for that yet....

we dont have the same ideals....its dangerous to try regionalism in a country like nigeria thats so diverse....

are you not worried that so many south yeasterners believed cownunu so quick...??...a animal from london that promised to turn nigeria into somalia...??

dont try it....!!

State formulae is what Nigeria needs, but in a balance true federalism.

Today Lagos was named the best state for tourism in Nigeria, while we have Northern States that can't be disputed to such achievement, bcuz they think money fall from heaven from Abuja to their various States

richidinho:
Akwa Ibom can generate enough electricity that can power the state but whatever is generated has to go to the national grid first, does that even make sense.

There are a lot of things on exclusive list that ought to be removed

#AtikuPlan

#PlanNotPromises

Federal gov't built those, if it were state it wouldn't have been part of the national grid...besides before akwa ibom there was Kaiji in Niger, even at then the power supply was epileptic

Restructuring has to do with the corporate management term for the act of reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational, or other structures of a company for the purpose of making it more profitable, or better organized for its present needs.




With the recent ongoing cry for the restructuring of Nigeria, here are top ten things that would happen if Nigeria is restructured.

1. No More Federal Allocation: The normal trend of states waiting to receive allocation/ "oil money" from the federal treasury will become a thing of the past.

2. States Will Control Their Resources: The various states in Nigeria, will be in full control of their resources. Take for instance, Enugu; the coal producing state will be in full control of how coal is mined, transported and exported without the interference of the federal government. The federal government will play it's role by ensuring the coal mining follows due procedure.

3. Less Power in Abuja: Currently, Nigeria runs a very a expensive government because of the centralized power in Abuja. If Nigeria is restructured, power no longer rests solely in Abuja, but is shared equally among states. This implies that states can have their own separate laws guiding them.

4. State Policing Will be Made Possible: Imagine a Nigeria with a police force bearing the name "KAPD" standing as Kano State Police Department. The various states in Nigeria will be able to be in full control of their military; with Abuja overseeing them all.

5. Government Workers will be more serious: Restructuring this country, is sure to make civil servants serious in carrying out their responsibilities as there would be competition among states to have the best output.

6. Unemployment Reduction: Restructuring Nigeria will reduce the rate of unemployment; because the 36 states with mineral resources will begin to explore and harness their resources leading to a new era of utilization of these human and mineral resources.

7. Increase in Healthy Competition: Nigerian states without good healthcare, schools and public infrastructure will begin to work hard to provide such, so that they can be seen as good among their counterparts. For instance, if a state is not doing well in providing quality education; and sees people leaving the state for other states that state can decide to work hard to improve the education infrastructure to see that it competes with states with the best education.

8. Less dependence on Oil: Due to the fact, that states now control their resources, crude oil will no longer be the main source of revenue for the country; leading to the increase in diversity in revenue generation. Some states could go into manufacturing, some into real large scale Textile making, some into full time agriculture.

9. General Development: The country will generally develop. Each state will be responsible for the improving a key sector of the economy leading to massive development.


10. Nigerian crude oil could lose value: With the dwindling price of oil, and the growing concern about carbon poisoning caused by crude oil, the world is moving toward a green environment. Hence, revenue generated by oil in the south south of Nigeria will make little or no sense in the international markets in the nearest future. By 2020, many countries in Europe will begin the use of electric vehicles.

Top Ten Things that will happen if Nigeria is restructured

Tell them please. I know why they're opposed to atiku's stance on restructuring and privatisation. They're afraid because they've been hiding under the nnpc to defraud Nigerians for years. Many houses in abuja would be sold because no free money would be realised from nnpc anymore to maintain them by those thieves. More jobs would also be created. The federal government never knew they could earn so much revenue from the telecoms sector after nitel was privatised. Millions of nigerians today wouldn't have been so employed , the telecoms sector has produced hundreds of thousands of millionaires through nitel privatisation. The elites would never be in consonance with anything that would favour the masses. Some myopic-minded youths are gullibly saying stuffs against atiku's plans, not knowing he's actually fighting for them. If he means what he said and he'd do so without bias, Nigeria would be better for it.

bantudra:


i tell you...it will be a desaster...police turning against police...army turning against army....

dont try it....!!

They know not what they clamor for.

IntrovertedK:
You folks are not seeing the other side of restructuring.. I had no idea about it abinitio buh from your advantages/benefits up there i was able to deduce some other effects which would be bad..

Like imagine if a state can control it's forces, it'd be totally bad for oppositions, looting, many states will suffer, over population will surely affect some states as many people which their states would end up with nothing will end up migrating to others with something, there'd be over tribalism, there will surely be too many crisis which will arise from insults and all. States with nothing, how do you expect them to pay civil servants? Alot of bad side effects i can bring from your point there op buh lemme stop here.

These south south states you because of them want this restructuring are their own enemy not the federal govt. They are always treated well as the power house of the country that they are. Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom always earn more than any other states in Nigeria monthly. Corruption is too much in these places which can even be easily seen in their citizens. They embezzle these funds, Ekiti and co gets little buh they are managing their resources.

From your points up there i don't see Restructuring as the answer my brother. And by the way, in Osun state, individuals control gold minning without govt interfrence but just supervision. Agriculture in Nigeria too is only supervised by govt buh they don't interfere. I don't know much about this oil of a thing buh i think it's private companies (Like Shell, Mobil and all) that control this thing?

You forgot to add the civil war that will start between the states, some state police will be militarised to the extent that slaves will be sold.

afroniger:
If Atiku is so sincere about 'restructuring Nigeria in six months', what then is the attraction of a second tenure to him??

u mean if he restructured nigeria,nigeria will not nave leader again!! Or u take restructuring as dividing?

WaffenSS:
With our religious and ethnocentric dispositions, powerful states controlling their resources and state police will become xenophobic towards others. You can bet your horse on this.

Imagine the governors of kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, and Benue having so much power to make laws and enforce these laws.

Imagine Lagos, with its sentiments against Igbos, having the power to make and amend sequestration laws, segregation laws, property ownership laws, and worst of all...indigeneship laws.
Imagine the chaos.

Thank you only slowpoke will believe that state police will not lead to the bloody civil war in Nigeria. Because you hate and distrust etc order so much for an accused Igbo or tiv to feel safe in sokoto if all the police, judges, prosecutors Are 100% Hausa Muslim probably using sharia law

Ttipsy:
balanced approach I understand. but those States that can't function without FG will learn to change momentum and sit up for progress. Economically they can overtake Abuja the capital.

Take a look at India again, I used USA for vivid explanation. thanks

Those countries you mentioned the people are innovative and want to work,sorry to say the black man is the laziest specimen created by God,nobody is changing any system in Nigeria,we had a regional system your forefathers changed it to a Federal system,now the ignorant children want to go back,life doesn’t work like that,you make the best of what you have,concentration of power in the center doesn’t stop a state from prospering,the states are yet to show us what they have done with free monies received for over 40 years?

kollinpowel:
that is y I usually ask my self do people really understand what the word restructure means? I can bet you most of this politician crying for restructuring only want to monopolized the system.

imagine people like fayose,ffk,dino having absolute power over a state.....thats even crazy to imagine....

nigeria is not ready for regionalism....

States can not be in full control of military since each state will still be under federal republic of Nigeria. Federal Government will be in control of the military.

no chaos when you have a constitution, as and federal laws are subject to it, with some exceptions... cough, cough, sharia, cough

until a referendum occurs, where each tribe can reform their lost countries/territories

mrvitalis:

What type of restructuring not the one u are suggesting

Be part of the solution,can you please suggest the type of restructuring we need?

Ketaokeipheoma:
u mean if he restructured nigeria,nigeria will not nave leader again!! Or u take restructuring as dividing?

Well, with the way they are hyping this restructuring of a thing, you would think that part ofnits benefits would include rendering the presidency unattractive.

But the North I know would rather go to war than allow a proper restructuring

bantudra:


imagine people like fayose,ffk,dino having absolute power over a state.....thats even crazy to imagine....

nigeria is not ready for regionalism....

@all my brother, u know sometimes this politician see how gullible we the Masses can be so they throw this things at us and we just embrace it without an in depth analysis about it.

Why all the noise about restructuring? The key to restructuring lies with the National Assembly, not the President . The President can only assent to bills sponsored and passed by the lawmakers.

echodrum:
States can not be in full control of military since each state will still be under federal republic of Nigeria. Federal Government will be in control of the military.

you always forget that the police and military is multi tribal....

a little trouble and misunderstandin and they will fight each other....

ofcourse ipobians would love complete chaos....

GMbuharii:

I'm not a senator na

VaselineCrew:

All the current chaos is in the midst of the constitution. We've always had one (bar military misadventures)

Our mentality and predications are not mature for what we term restructuring.

I'm telling you that with our complex mix of ethnicities and bigotry, many tribes and states will make laws, which the constitution gives them the right to, to make life unbearable for perceived enemies.

Please don’t mind those people,because of their laziness and hatred for the president, is their main reason for the shout of restructuring,what does Adamawa state add to Nigeria’s GDP?does anyone really believe atiku would twitch Nigeria if he wins so that Adamawa state stops collecting federal allocation?

bantudra:


but i am naija deltan....

Can you please stop pretending to be what you are not. Haven't you been exposed many times as a non-niger deltan yet you will not stop. Take pride of your region and stop this shameless act. You're not Niger deltan and have been exposed more than once. Enough!

So in order words, the North should continue milking out of the rest because the governors of the state are too lazy to utilize the natural resources of North. You are aware the North has both agriculture and minerals export to fall back in. It does not have to be oil alone. Why should the entire country stay stranded just to compensate on the incompetent of North. Why? Haven't we suffered enough because of you people?

servercodes001:
No!!!!!

1) states like bayelsa that receive over 800% more grant than most populous kano have NOTHING to of development, why? The leaders are stealing the money
2)enormous corruption and looting
3)excessive tribalism and nepotism
4)uneven development across the country
5)poor leadership in each state
6)long period of time before states get their acts together
7)most states have NOTHING to depend on
8. )no federal grant means states like jigawa, nasarawa, kwara etc cannot afford to pay their civil servants
9)it takes decades to build an economy which means all the states must go back to the 19th century
10) there will be war and chaos
11) with the current living hardship no state can bear economic building
12) states controlling their resources means enormous theft, all the thieves in each state will have access to state treasury and they'll surely empty

Blame the white people that amalgamated this country

enemy of progress

Abjay97:
Restructuring this country wil work for us.. thats the simple truth.. We have tried parliamentary system, it never worked.. Now, presidential system still nothing..

Baba there is no silver bullet to our problems .

Remember that that was how they were saying that privatizing nepa would fix electricity but today see how things are

I'm from River State. I've been on this forum long enough and seen you get exposed more than once by several people on this site. You don't even know the area you come from in the said delta state and I've seen you been drilled about it many times by several deltans only for you to evade the questions. If I recall, there's even a time you denied ever claiming deltan in one of multiple times you were being exposed. You've been exposed more times than I can count and I'm unsure why you have no shame in yourself that you continuously pretending to be from Niger delta when we all know you are not.

exposed my foot...if war break out and i catch any biafran,i will shove that flag up his or her arse....

this i can promise you now already....

am sorry to say that...i just hate nonesense....

1. Most federal workers will become state workers with all the consequences.
2. While few states will pay 80K as Minimum Wage, most states will not even be able to pay 10k
3. Governors will even become more powerful
4. With state police, you will all be at the mercy of your political office holders now that the police will be at their beck and call
5. State like Lagos will become even more overcrowded as people flee poorer states
6. Interstate banditry will become more difficult to tackle as each state police start protecting their favorite criminals, their source of IGR.
7. ASUU, NLC, NANS will become less effective as they will now have disparage employers
8. Most doctors and other professionals will move abroad when Lagos, River and Kano can not employ more.
9. Finally, yours sincerely will post something on nairaland to the effect that "I told you so".
