Elvictor: Stop the rubbish, Igbo people too will be silent when they get to corridor of power. It was documented that North asked for restructuring, secession and refuted independent before any region. That's what they hold on to now. Everyone must be ready to strategize to wrestle power from North That's all we need not all this cheap blackmails |

Personally, I don't like restructuring. Outright separation is a better choice. Honestly, I don't want govt to restructure. because d more they refused, the bigger the implosion will be. |

IMAliyu:Resource control, let states be able to control resources in their various states under strict supervision of the federal government. Instead of going to Abuja with feeding bottles every month to beg for allocations, States should bring certain percentages on the amount they earn from these resources to the centre (Abuja). To me, this will allow state governors to be up and doing, they will now think out of the box, states like Nasarawa, Zamfara and Kogi that have various mineral resources will wake up. Let me add Sir that any restructuring that will lead to creation of new states or local government areas is rubbish. This is my own restructuring Sir. 1 Like |

IMAliyu: 6 regional structure, with the current geopolitical zones adopted as the federating units. The FCT will be controlled by the FG. Regional gov't will be headed by an elected governor. In order to win, his party must have the most seats in the Regional House of Assembly, which will take the current state HOA's and merge them. The presidency would be rotated between the six regions, and in order for an individual to be elected President, his party would have to win 244 out of 366 in the newly designed House of Representatives. Seats in the HOR would be evenly spread amongst the 6 regions(60 each), while the FCT would have six. So, the prospective candidate would have to win 40 out of 60 seats from each region, plus 4 out of 6 in the FCT. There would be full resource control, and each region would send back 30% to the center. Furthermore, each region would have its own constitution and its own regional police force. I believe this is the best way to restructure, although I would like to hear from anyone else 2 Likes |

Moferere:Interesting. However I prefer samdunzo's own. Because a lot of states shouldn't really even exist. They poses no economic value or capacity and were created by the military regimes along ethic lines to have a better control over the country. In a proper federal structure, the FG shouldn't be the one giving handouts to states, but the other way around, states should be generating revenue and paying tax to the FG. Since this topic was about the North, here is what I know about the Northern perception of restructuring. To be honest most are ignorant of it and don't know what restructuring is, or the benefits that could come with it. And another set on the other hand are infact against it, as they think that the north will somehow get the short end of the deal if it agrees to it. Although when I ask these people more questions, I realize they too are just misinformed and are ignorant of what restructuring is. 1 Like |

Moferere: That may be true, but I hope that COVID-19 and well as its impact on the economy will get people thinking. For instance, within the SW region, there is really no point for 6 states, when only 2( Lagos and Ogun) are doing well, 1(Oyo) is alright, and the rest( Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti) are subpar. Another thing that I really don't like about the state structure is that most development seems to be centered in the capital cities, while other areas are left to rot. Why not just have 1 capital(Ibadan), 1 strong commercial center(Lagos), and have the remaining cities become industrial centers. The same thing applies to other regions, like the SE. There, you can have Enugu as your political capital, Onitsha as the main commercial center, and other cities as strong industrial centers. |

samdunzo: If we go by this, we will not have more than 12 subnationals (states) across Nigeria. |
Re: Restructuring Nigeria Doesn’t Depend On North, Anybody ― PANDEF by samdunzo: 10:07pm On Nov 13, 2020 |
Moferere: 12 is too much sef. Just have 6 regions(geopolitical zones) plus the FCT, along with both of our recommendations, and see if Nigeria will not start competing with the likes of China, SA, and Brazil with 15- 20 years |

samdunzo: Regional system will be the best. We will cut down overhead costs drastically. |
Re: Restructuring Nigeria Doesn’t Depend On North, Anybody ― PANDEF by samdunzo: 10:13pm On Nov 13, 2020 |
Moferere: Exactly. And the best thing is no region is lacking in terms of human and natural resources. The 3 northern regions are blessed with land and mineral resources, while the 3 southern regions are blessed with industries all across. Put these together, along with the general ambitiousness of the average Nigerian, and I see greatness. Just hope that our leaders, especially those from the North, can put ambitions and politics aside and hear us out |

Re: Restructuring Nigeria Doesn’t Depend On North, Anybody ― PANDEF by samdunzo: 7:51pm On Nov 14, 2020 |
karfe: No. The geopolitical zones in the North are NW, NE, and NC/MB. Just like the 3 regions in the South are SW, SE, and SS/ND. Giving the North 2 regions while dividing the south into 3 will only bring back one of the main points of restructuring, which is correct political imbalances across the country |
Re: Restructuring Nigeria Doesn’t Depend On North, Anybody ― PANDEF by karfe(m): 10:55pm On Nov 14, 2020 |
samdunzo: I do not understand why we need to have the same number of regions. How much longer are we going to do this? For me, keep 5 regions and reassign people to the correct region they belong e.g. Kwara (Yoruba) and Delta (Igbo) All this political balancing has not profited us very much! 1 Like 1 Share |

Moferere:Engaging you is of no benefits to me at all. You can only relate to the level you know the North. If you were born and raised in core North and have spent over 5 decades there while you are from South south, then maybe we can relate. For now, make do with your head in between your legs when thinking. |
