Nigeria president is lieing he will never do what his masters will not aproved. Divide to progress. The Northerners will not accept the change.We are ethnic how can we take ethnic out of Nigeria. We are not from ONE village. We need to agree that we are a nation of different languages culture ethnic religion. Yoruba for Yorubas . Look at Europe living in one continent together where every tribes has his own ways of doing things. Slot us together is not working. Yorubas are Nation of his own so others to be a nation of his own.This is a systems that will allowed competitions. Let the Northerners do their own stove or we divide to progress if we don't Change the bad systems that slot us together by the coloniser. It will never work we are a nation of different cultures and languages. Present systems is not productive for us . Its only creat corruptions all over the country. A nation are people ofthesame language culture religion ethnic that's what's determined a nation. A multyculturer country will never be a Nation. It was the colonisers that slot us together never to progress. Europeans are not slot together like Africa.

The north don't want it, they can't survive

Wallahi

It's Ok if it'll satisfy the yearnings of the most Nigerians. Though it seems the problem is the dearth of honest, purposeful leadership and FOLLOWERSHIP. In any case it will another opportunity for citizenship to learn.

@@wadaattahir3854 Remember a multyculturer country can never be a Nation. A nation are people ofthesame language culture religion ethnic that's what's determined a nation. Is only a nation that can be patriotic bcs of language and culture. How can Nigeria find a good leaders in a tribals country where each tribes will only consider his own tribes first. Stop dreaming Nigeria will never progress. Untill you divide to progress. Imagine if Palestinian haven't got a language they will all be kill by Isreal without anyone supporting them. No one talks about CONGO bcs Cogolise has got no language like Nigeria. Every countries names derived from his or her language. Stop dreaming Nigeria will never change.

Think again.

@@ifeoma_amaechiMy brother, when it comes to speaking Truth, no tribe in Nigeria comes close to the Yorubas…

Iro ni

We than Orunmila, our great divine philosopher of old. His truth still rule in some of us. But the evils that come with the norms borrowed from outside has overtaken a lot of our people.

​@@ifeoma_amaechi a typical igbo mindset....very unfortunate

Stop forming opinions about things without understanding them. Why can't there be competition between the 36 states? And don't the states already form the regions? What is stopping the competition from happening as we speak?

lol what has stopped those state from development before ?

​@@les_crowstate governors are lazy because allocation will come from Abuja. If it stops coming, these governors will sit tight.

GUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! This your comment changed everything in my opinion honestly. The competition would actually be very very very very good.

And the current recycled corrupt politicians would then retire and shouldn't take any position in the regional govt, bcuz if they do , everything would collapse under their chronic corruption. They have sucked and destroyed the country so they deserve to be jailed

Yes I agree but we need to empower the federal government so it can intercede in times of emergencies, building national infrastructure and defence

You obviously didn't understand how regionalization works. The current system from the local government, state and all the way to the federal level are too centralized and expensive to run. Everything needs to be decentralized and frees up the resources for each region and subregion to develops itself. The new system puts the power in the people's hands not in the hands of the prodigal sons and daughters you call politicians across Nigeria syphoning our resources. The people need to be reeducated and trained in order to free their brain from the corruptions the current system has stuffed in their head. You get it now?

@@Samuel-lk2ty Time to "restructure" Nigeria into four sections like it was in the past.. this would bring peace since Nigerians cant seem to get away from this TRIBALISM mindset.... EastRegion, WestRegion, MiddleBelt and NorthernRegion.. Abuja will still be the capital of Nigeria (similar to DC in the US). Each region will have a PM/President and each state will still have a governor, all revenue will be allocated to each region EQUALLY.. and each state within thier respective region will be responsible of investing and building/improving their own infrastructure..etc.. this is the best solution to alleviate this ongoing non-sense...

This is a typical way to subjugate and marginalize minorities in Nigeria. Nigerian leaders should be thinking of making life livable for the common people of Nigeria instead of delving into areas the president hasn’t been mandated by electing him into office as president. What is needed in Nigeria today is to eradicate corruption and nepotism to solve Nigeria’s problems. Do away with corrupt people in the system and make life tolerable to the common man.

​@abbamodu1694 Best comments, regional or whatever will not change anything unless we restructured our mindset and see everyone as equal and one.

@@kenigtv6691 regional government will not change mindset overnight but it will eventually...

It will never happen, the north know that they cannot survive hence will definitely frustrate it

in fact, if only this is achieved. Undoubtedly, within 10yearsNigeria will move to become world leader Not only leading Africa in all front

For example the governors of Delta state

Ba la blu has not said anything yet

Nigeria matter gives a lot of headache. I am still wondering how the middle belt will sort out issues like this. Because I know the north will want to take huge land mass along. People need to learn to sit down and talk. Hopefully what you hope for come to fruition.

@@ADE-of-LAGOS Thank you ADE of Lagos

Yes there are also crude oil in northern Nigeria and lithium which is the future. Nigeria is blessed all around and every region.

North has Gold but keeps mute to it, they are reserving it for themselves if it happened the system of government changed as it's looking like

@@Kkholiday419 I'll rather comment on the facts that I know and can see. There isn't crude oil in the North at all. If they have, what is stopping or deterring them from exploiting it. Abi, who no like better thing? Are they allergic to crude oil money or what?

Who is this white skin person? Whats your business with Nigeria? You folks can't be trusted. A fake image and fake name. Or a mischievous Nigerian hiding under a fake ID?

​@@dermotwallace5533you must be blind, a crude oil well was dug in my state Bauchi state and we have seen it. So yes there is crude oil in the north.

The National Assembly and the current government we have now, will never pass this bill as it will "remove food from their mouth"

When he spoke about marginalization you can see it is not good intended. This is what they fought against civil war. When they joined north and south to use the southern resources to build Abuja. He is minimizing the lack of develope of the east over these 40 years not even past 20 years. Look at all the developments in Lagos Abuja. This would not change anything. Each state is givin a budget would is the difference. This just gives less more power to a few.

It's the British supported north that's fighting against regionalism. Though not all of them but most of them. But as Europe gradually collapse economically, the evil British clandestine plans with the north will wane and their resistance will wane. These folks are acting as if they have no brains or their elites are just greedy and lazy, not ever considering what would benefit the northern masses.

Nigerian never stopped to amaze me. Today all most every tribe has it’s own state and yet they have not seen progress in their livelihood and you people are advocating for regional governments to bring progress? Who stopped the states from generating their revenue now that you are thinking they will do under regional governments? These nomenclature’s doesn’t matter at all as long as you have not provided a level playing field for every Nigerian to explore their potentials based on equality as citizens of Nigeria. The clogging factor fueling of all the problems in Nigeria today first is the uncontrollable corruption in all the sectors of governance in the country and unashamed nepotism cutting across all the ethnic groups. Our education has done very little if it has done anything to assist our leaders in understanding what entails leadership and patriotism without putting emphasis on tribe, religion and where someone comes from as long as he delivers a good result. Unless we learn not to be influenced by tribe, religion and region in our decision making to better this country, no amount of regions you created will solve these problems. Don’t forget with the regions you are planning to create will still have the same Nigerian problems that force you to create the regions will be staring at you again. Do you create another region from the regions you created? Let us not deceive ourselves but address the real problems facing Nigeria.

Amen 🙏

This was what Ojukwu and Gowon agreed on in Aburi, Ghana, then Gowon turned around and failed to honour it.. Also Nnamdi Kanu proposed this as the only reason he can stop Biafra agitation!

Only foolish Northerners will object. Most will definitely agree to it. Most of the oil money goes to Southern States at moment anyway. A regional system will allow the North to exploit its own natural resources. The idea that Northerners will reject this is Biafra propaganda.

Not so. Oil has been discovered in Kaduna

When it comes to mineral resources, the North is wealthier than the South. Just that the British didn't explore these resources before independence like they discovered oil in 1958. The North will start mining whenever they're ready

Golds ,oil,agriculture lithium are all in the north now

Exactly

You are the biggest liar here. Ojukwu never proposed such bill. infact, Nnamdi Azikwe mobilized igbo to destroy everything and anything like this before our independence of 1960. Aguiyi Ironsi scrapped all the regions and brought all the regional architecture into the centre. He boldly wrote it in our constitution since then that there is no free discussion on this, and that we have no right to ever negotiate our association together. IF THERE IS ANY TRIBE WHICH DESTROYED THE REGION, IT WAS IGBO. Gowon also wanted to put article 8 of then into our constitution after the civil war-- this was another regional autonomy which aguiyi Ironsi destroyed, but this was also fought against by your people until it was dropped. STOP THE LIE

We are talking of today, you are bringing in dead Ojukwu who plunged the nation in a civil war that set his region 20years back.

And today they are ahead ​@@Ify2498

@@ayenia2736 what was the Aburi Agreement,? it was regional Govt. you can go and verified which Gowon slso agreed signed, but refused to implement it, that was what led to the Civil War. everybody knows it , the information is out there, but your hatred and tribalism against the Igbos will not allowed you to say it the it the way it is,

..and the same Odimegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi killed Adaka Boro for demanding Niger Delta region...

Very simple explanation. I salute you Dr.

What are you talking about?

I still think Nigerian political class see Nigerian youths as toothless. Which I think they are. What's going on is beyond what anyone can push especially the modern day spineless Nigerian youths that can be bought. If not for what has been written, these modern day evil minded Nigerians got no chance. Let us thank the Grace of the Almighty. Daniel 7:27 “And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.”

You can't create States under regions. That's gonna create more problems than we're trying to solve. Plus, it will only increase the cost of governance.

No! More states. More ways to steal. Are you a politician? 😂😂

U parasites u should go out of Nigeria

Nothing like breaking up but regional government is the best

​​@@iam-drakewell under regional government we will still be together with all this radical Islamist jihadists, fulani terrorists, bokoharam, iswap ect. Fulanis terrorists will still have the right to be in our land. I don't see why we in yorubaland should remain in one country together with this set of ppl. We can perfectly be on our own. So every person that can reason like a literate should come to the conclusion that break up is the best, in order to have peace and development.

Why is it that we northerns are always scared of regioanl system of governance in Nigeria, to me, we have all the benefits because we feed the nation.

Stop using the US as an example all the time, this is a colonial mentality. We can form a system that will work for us. We and the west are not the same people

Are you comparing yourself and your kinsmen to that of Unted States....United States of America is a continent, and their level of intellectualism can't be compared to any African country. Listen to what the man is saying...start as a region

And California budget alone is bigger than all 36 states of Nigeria put together.

What concern African country with United States? You are practicing the system of those that enslaved you and you think you can prosper? There is no common sense in that.

The US with 51 states is 5 times the size of Nigeria. So we should not have more than 10 states Be guided bro...
