Igbos should shift their focus from occupying power by 2023 or joining Kanu in Biafra and rather focus on Restructuring Nigeria to True federalism
I will try to make my points brief and straight to the point

1) Who Has Presidency Helped: We all know the region that has produced the most presidents( I am talking of ndi "Burn" to Rule). Producing presidents gas never been of benefit to any region. We as a people do not really need presidency to succeed. If Nigeria is good it will be for us all and if it's bad, it will also be bad for us all.

2) We can't reap where we didn't sow: I can see some Igbos Demanding presidency from APC. This is highly ridiculous as I don't see the need to demand favours unashamedly from a party we never supported or voted for. I don't think it's wise for us to feel entitled to anything from APC.

3) Do we( Igbo) have competent people in APC: Ok, let's imagine for a minute that APC decides to zone Presidency to SE. Do we have competent leaders who will deliver from here that are in APC. We have none as Amaechi, Uzor Kalu, Uzodimma and Rochas have all proven to be kleptomaniacs with our commonwealth. We have no competent Igbo in APC

4) What guarantee for we have that an Igbo President will develop Nigeria: Yes, how do we know that an Igbo president won't be as clueless and corrupt as he's predecessors?

All these are salient points which prove that Igbo Presidency isn't what we need to develop as a people. This leads us to the question, what do we then need?

WE NEED RESTRUCTURING
Yes, we need to restructure our country. As it is now, nothing is working, funds are being mismanaged, oppression and repression has been the order of the day and gross leadership incompetence has become a norm. WE NEED TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA TO TRUE FEDERALISM FOR US TO EXPERIENCE DESIRE PROGRESS
We as a people need to advocate for the Restructuring of Nigeria and this means that we must advocate for the implementation of the following:

1) Nigeria should be restructured, so each state will control its resources as well as revenue. This will ensure that the semi- autonomous states grow at the pace

2) The system of leadership in Nigeria should be changed to that of a LOOSE FEDERAL STRUCTURE, where the powers of the federal government will be grossly reduced to economy, printing currency, defence if the country from external aggression and international relations

3) Lawmakers should NOT be allowed to deliver projects awarded to their constituency. Rather a construction company such as Julius Berger will be take over the construction and delivering of projects.

4) States should have the power to engage in any interstate infrastructure such as Roads, railways or electricity schemes

5) Electricity generation, transmission and distribution should be the responsibility of state governments

6) The salary of every member of House of Representatives should be the Minimum wage multiplied by 10, while the base salary of every senator should be Minimum wage multiplied by 13

7) The requirement for our leaders( particularly Law makers ) should be raised higher and be made available to only educated and enlightened people that must have contributed possitively individually to thier community.


When these laws are created, there won't be need for political and tribal squabbles for leadership as each state will be left to develop at their own pace.

Also, it won't matter which political party or person gets hold of the presidential seat as they won't be able to hamper the development going on in other regions

If you restructure from now till eternity Abia State people would keep voting for clowns to loot them dry


Funny how a region which failed woefully at Governing themselves, that ranked low in GDP, IGR, FDI, Employment rate, ranks high in poverty rate ... Expect anybody to vote for their clownish politicians



.

If all region country it’s resources, what will the South East use to pay salaries and execute projects??

Is it tax from Onitsha and Aba market or the 60,000 barrels of crude oil in Imo and Abia?

That number three point is very valid,it is only a selfless man that can restructure this country,no typical political homosapien will.
The only strong man who can pull the need vote needed from the South in South East is Peter obi,no any other charismatic character.
From Zik to Ironsi ,what did they all do when they got close to the seat of power,they join the bandwagon.
Politically,not Atiku nor Tinubu will restructure this country.
The only man i know who as the mass support,charisma and intelligence and has not been too tainted will politiking is Prof.Oshibajo.
If Atiku or Tinubu get there,the country will go similar to 1989 Maradonna style of Babangida.
If you doubt me check their antecedents from history

What happen to coal,limestone,oil,Agric,commerce and trade.

Stop telling funny tales,they survived before 1960 as a lone wolf,How,No region can't survive,we all just went into the "Hibernation mode" because of free oil cash from the center ,even North will, they survived during the civil war, they have even better chance of surviving now .
Calculation wise abd preparednesswise, the East may not be Ready.

South East has a private sector led economy. That's why it has more infrastructure projects going on within it, than anywhere else, despite having limited funds, relative to other oil rich states.

If you feel Igbo people are a drag on Nigeria, then you must be an advocate of Biafra...yes? Only makes sense. Imagine how wonderful Nigeria would be without Igbo people.

Let Igbos stop boring us with Biafra, steps to take to get referendum is in the hands of Ibo lawmakers.. let them sponsor the damn bill and stop boring us with long stupid talks

Sponsor a bill or an act to have referendum as part of our constitution, get it passed and go your fvcking way, alternative move back to east and Start civil disobedience to Nigerian authority

Oga, let the Igbos worry about that. If they could survive the war and aftermath of the war inspite of harsh neighbours, they'll survive anything. It is in their DNA.

Thunderstorm people.

Today Biafra
Tomorrow President
Next tomorrow Restructuring

Keep hating on Igbos.


You are only doing what your yoruba parent taught you.

Restructuring Now

How is my comments above an hate speech? Explain to NL's

You are only doing what your yoruba parent taught you.

Imagine someone that his parents taught how to love and respect others but disrespecting others parents even when they don't offend him.

That is the real definition of an hate speech...

What would be the point of sponsoring a bill on referendum when it will be the rest of Nigeria that will vote on it? Or is anyone fooling themselves that Northerners and Westerners will vote for Igbos to be given referendum?


Nigeria should be restructured, but Nigeria can never be restructured. Some people dont realise that the North sees very little difference between restructuring and Biafra. If Nigeria is restructured, and every region is controlling its resources, the centre will become weak enough for any Region(s) to break out of Nigeria

Another thing about restructuring is that in other to restructure Nigeria, the constitution must be changed. There is no such thing as restructuring Nigeria and keeping the present 1999 constitution that gives much powers to the federal government. If you see the requirements to change the constitution you will run away.

To change the constitution, not only do you need a two majority in the Senate and house of rep, you also need 2 thirds of the state assembly of all 36 states to vote for it as well. With the core North totally against restructuring and when you consider the constitutional requirements, you find out that it is easier to visit planet Jupiter than to restructure Nigeria

Nigeria cannot restructured, it is simply not possible.

Restructuring means different things to different people.. reducing executive list and increasing concorent list is very possible and can happen, everyone at this point knows the FG is too loaded, Devolution of power is possible, resource control on solid minerals is also very possible , state policing is possible

But fact remain 100% resource control is not possible most states are not economically viable b, the whole IGR of SE isn't enough to even cover wage bill and less than 60k barrels of crude can't sustain 30 million people

Long over do, now is for Igbo presidency or Biafra, restructure can wait after Igboman become president since Nigeria are not sincere about restructure we can do it for them . I will soon join the race .

Send screenshot of your last 5 comments on NL.... Let NL's judge whose hatred had built mansion in his heart

Nonsense what is aburi accord. Everybody should go their separate ways . Nigeria is not a country but geographical location and it must collapse. Ordinary revolution protesters was beating merciless by soldier who can't fight book haram only flexing muscle with unarmed civilian. Useless country created by useless white men not by God. Restructuring on my foot.

I don't know how many barrels of Oil is produced in the SE but if it is 60,000 barrels, that enough to pay salaries and scocial services as long as it is the the SE that controls it and keeps the majority of the profit. The idea of restructuring goes beyond Oil, the the same Oil will not save anyone in the long term as it fast losing and will be worthless soon.

The whole idea of restructuring is that everyone should go and develop whatever he has, human or natural.

Anyone who is waiting for free oil money should be ashamed of themselves.

If it is just 1 barrel of Oil that the SE has, we shall still survive. We all survived when Oil had not been developed, we shall survive when it is gone

Your now begging for restructuring? Igbos have made up their mind. Restructure and the same terrorists being recruited in Nigeria army will still be the one to protect us? Say no to restructuring

Biafra is far better than restructuring or presidency. Can't you see?

Bia Mr OP fight your own fight and leave Ndigbo out of it, prove to the world that you are not natural cowards
When Ndigbo were fighting for Biafra, they did not ask for your help
