Why We Must All Come Together To Push For Regional Government by Kapeter(m): 1:56pm On Sep 14, 2019
Nigeria isn't working. Packing everyone with differences all together, living together without love and happiness is the reason the country will prolly not move forward even in next 100 years..

Many feel insecure, many doesn't want to lose where they believe belongs to them, and this very thing will really not stop, it's detrimental to the growth of Nigeria. There's only one way to move the country together forward which is by returning the country back to regional form that it was before. Let ever region develop itself while the central oversee the affairs.

As for those that wants to seceed, it's something that really cannot happen untill maybe oil has no more value at all, cuz they fear if they let one major group out, one or two other might come together and also decide to exit the country so they won't let any go.

Buh the way we are all forcefully living under one roof, baring same tag is detrimental to us all, i think returning the nation back to regional govt will solve most or at least major problems, everyone will be secure knowing fully well some marked regions are theirs and no one can take it away all in the name of one naijeriya, every region will be responsible for development in their region and this will bring about competitions among regions and many other benefits.

Forget Regionalism or Regions, it is not possible in Nigeria for the following reasons. In other to restructure Nigeria into Regions, the constitution must be changed. To change the constitution, one must get two thirds majority vote at the national assembly. Just the core North(NW and NE) control about 40% of national assembly and they are totally against restructuring or Regions. Nigeria cannot be restructured into Regions without their votes

So anyone hoping for Regions or restructuring should forget it.

The only choice for those who want Regions or restructuring is to strive for your freedom, after which you can restructure your self anyway you like, or accept Nigeria as dictated by the North

It's the same choice Ojukwu faced over 50 years ago.

Impossible. An ignoble Igboman Aguyi Ironsi with the legal support of another greedy Igboman drafted and imposed decree 34 of 1966 which abolished regional government and turned the county to a unitary state. This was the foundation of the bloody Civil War. Aguyi Ironsi siblings must pay for this sin till Jesus comes because they are the most affected negatively by the senseless unitary system of monkey dry work while baboon dey chop that we have been practising since Aguyu Ironsi did the abominable act.
you have to just forget about all these past leaders. We are here in this present now and our children will be in the future, the pasts are all gone now and we in it are the one suffering their mistakes even though they thought they were prolly doing what's right for their unborn children as at then, if we should continue in this their mistake, our children will inherit it and so it goes on and on.

If you've never been to some other few african countries and some european coumtries, you prolly won't understand, even the poorest region in Nigeria is richer than many of these small european countries and we ought to be better than them buh untill we are allowed to develop ourselves individually we will never stop being third world country. The central can not really understand the development needed at the grassroot of each region and they'd always do things politically and all.

Only regionalism can save this country. No more no less.

how do you think you'd get your own country when those people that ought to support you 'd rather support them.

The only thing that can bring the entire south together is asking for our own government regionally and the north fears the south coperation, immediate they see that, they'd be scared and to avoid further troubles they'd support it.

it can't work. It's a country packed with people of too many differences and are not living together willfully but forcefully. Such union can never yield anything.

How do you think you will ever get Regionalism when the North are against it and they have the deciding vote?

If the North says no to restructuring, what will you do?

Buhari once said that his own objective is different from The Nigerian Constitutional objective. This is weird, dictatorial and wicked.

Simply 'cause the north who extantly holds the reins of power in the nation will never acquiesce to it.

Un/fortunately, the south which is the rich bride is too divided to muster a concerted effort to free themselves from the yolk of retrogressive north.

The only answer is because igbos would never be president. Every other drawback affects everyone else in one way or another

In a few years time when oil becomes useless, what would you SS people hold on to? I wonder how you are going to survive as you are surrounded by water. I am saying this because the northerners would eventually abandon you as you are not Muslims, they regard you as infidels

My brother what else can I say grin They are not like minded in any way.

They need that political power to be of any importance or use to themselves and their region but never for the whole of NIGERIA equally.

if the south and middle-belt aren't against it, the core north will be powerless.

The problem with d south is political disunity and d south must be firm on their decision before convincing d MB.

You and your generation are the ones most affected by the unitary system that helped Abacha, IBB,OBJ and others rule you into poverty. Anu
