Why are Northern leaders so scared of federalism?

Obviously, this intelligent chairman is saying something, particularly when he is saying Nigerians do not know which direction yet. However, i should think, restructure in this situation means, Nigeria want a system like the United Kingdom where each zone can practically be governing themselves only to be accountable to the Central Federal government on quota basis. In this case, the West can have their own prime minister, the East can have Biafra Prime Minister. But, the President could be from anywhere in the country. Restructures will means, these Zones would be managing their own resources such as Scotland and Wales in the UK. With the above, each zones will no longer be at the mercy of Federal government before they take actions on important developmental projects.

He has said it all the north and the south can not be together if the south go on insisting on restructuring .Because according to him our problem is bad learship.

This man is saying the truth, the quality of leadership is the problem of Nigeria. The leaders are greedy, not willing to learn, the leaders are not there to serve the people they only think of their pockets and to oppress the people. This man is spelling it out listen to him properly, he’s saying the truth. People’s mindset need to change and become patriotic to their nation.

Would be better if you had representatives from the South East and South West to hear what they want.

It's a waste of time and rather frustrating talking to them even those who claim to educated we don't want to be a nation anymore just keep urselves and we keep ourselves

Part of the problem with the quest for restructuring by southerners is that it doesn't take into account the sociopolitical and socioeconomic views of northerners. Nigeria needs a visionary leader that can assuage the fears of its diverse ethnic nationalities through meaningful engagement whereby each groups concerns and aspirations are accomodated in a holistic national development plan.

She asked the wrong questions, she’s not in control of the interview The media need to ask the right questions when it comes to #restructring The South West want regional government The south East wants different things including Biafra But the north wants the same if old That’s the question

When you decided to keep a particular part of the country down because they lost the war, this is what you should expect. There is no equity and justice so restructure or let people go their different ways. Enough of that lie to we Easterners. We dont have a nation. What we have is a group of selfish and ignorant people running around looking for minerals to sell to raise money for their pockets instead of developing their human resources to develop the country. I only agree with you that Nigeria should be seperated. Every person should have the right to decide whether they want to live in the country or not.

We are not ONE. Eastern region is completely neglected from government development and infrastructure..no rails, no sea ports, no international airports, no pipe born water, no electricity, no health care, no school . Therefore division is the answers so that Biafrans can develop at it's pace. Nizooria formally Nigeria is irredeemable and must be dissolve to save lives.

We are not one

The people of Asaba did not feel we are one Nigeria under Murtala Mohammed, that your cohort have conspired to rename many national structures after him does not make him any less a murderer, stop spewing this revisionist history for us please #AsabaMassacre

When we restructure, all Regions, States will sit well to do the needful. At the heighten point of agitation for restructuring the sitting Governor of Sokoto State looked inward and came up with holistic approach to minerals resources in Sokoto State. What is wrong with that report? Till present no body heard anything again about that beautiful report. Cross River did the same what is the outcome? In the waste paper baskets? Other States followed the same approach, where are we today? Late Obafemi Awolowo warned Nigeria nation in 1979 did our leaders listen? Holistic approach to the economic sector will catapult this nation to an enviable level. If Nigeria disintegrate today every region will survive. Nigeria is too big for our leaders to rule. We shall drinks our oil if urgent action is not taken.

Restructuring is very important for distributions of fairness and equity There's no sense of intimidation , manipulation ,negligence , inequality . Allocations of resources should be shared equally . Some parts of regions are not adequately providing productivity but still dominated others . They're more into parasites to resources of other regions . Now whatever you produced , manufactured then you utilized it to developed your individuals states .

The lady conducting this interview is evidently ‘paper weight’ and not able to ask the real tough questions and be in control of this interview....

Let separate and become friends and kill will stop the ever own by Nigeria still for Nigeria

I'm sorry to chip into the conversation of Restructuring of Nigeria, h'ver the truth is that some of these respondent to these issue is very naive. If Restructuring would favour the Northerners, why are the north is afraid of the word restructuring. As Mr. Sani Aminu has said right now in this media, i belief the Northern states should go ahead and agreed on the dividing the country into the 4 or 5 regions that we were before. The military rulers are the one's that unilaterally divided Nigeria to favour thier own region. Therefore, restructuring should be a theme of our discussion right now, moreso they also belief it would be the best way forward. Let us not continue to waste our time by going back and forward on this issue, rather than calling for Refendum to do exactly that. Thank

Housas are not Biafrans . Foolanis are not either. Go malam me suya!! Leave Biafra alone. Looters!!

I want to go I am not Nigeria.

Common!!!!!! Let's SEPARATE. LET'S DO IT. ITS GOOD 👍 LET'S GO!!!

Now yre talking everyone must go their separate ways to take care of their various entities themselves

He absolutely scared of restructuring. Restructuring will be far better for Nigeria.

This man is a Fulani a foreigner dictating the feature of a country were they the Fulani has no indigenous home land he has no clue of what he is talking about

The killing and denieing the eastern is annoying the norther have kill the East more than 2000000 people and continue to kill one part of people since 1960 to 2017 is painful

You do not know what restructuring is? Gowon restructured Nigeria in 1967. A nation is yet to be. It is work in progress.

What brought us to this stage? Lord lugard can you ever RIP like this?

From the beginning, our forefathers structured Nigeria, but the greedy regions combined to kill those God bless more than them. Hear it now you can not use stell money to train useful children. Nigeria is not a single nation from the onset but 3 different nations that come together as a country. Criminal can never agree to the truth. From the current prophet of Umuezumezu

l think what this man is saying sounds reasonable because if you look at the northern and southern Niigeria people, you will find out that they dont have the same mentality and nothing really join us together apart from being Nigerians as it were.you cant force people to live together if theyre not willing and thats the cross of the matter.

The reason why the north are not happy about this that they aren't favorable that is y they aren't happy . let me say this once and for all if northerner s have the mineral resources they would have separate them self long ago if you like believe it or not

The man is silly in many of his comments but right in saying that the National Assembly has been really bad. I completely agree that an active National Assembly could have passed laws on state police and on local resource control. If Buhari vetoed the bills for parochial and selfish interests then Nigerians would have known who to blame.

How do you consider Nigerian are same when one set of Nigeria kills the other without being punished.

Nigeria is not a nation. It is a multi national state.

Actually the personality has tried to tackle the issue in Nigeria to some extent. Nigeria as a whole lack good Leadership that can take the affairs of the citizens serious. For example, in a Country where anybody that have access to Government office is to loat the reserved in Government account and no severe action taking against them. How do u think such a country will survive? Secondly, in a country where the Government promote and elevate criminals, how do u think such a country will survive as a nation? When this situation persist, which country will survive it? With this method, curuption will prevail in the society. Who suffers most for it? The citizens, and the image of the country will be seriously affected etc when this happened in a country, what do u think the citizens are facing? Because, it has got to a stage where the citizens can no longer endure it . So, the two weakness of the Government stated above are part of our problems in Nigeria. Everybody must face the law and we must take our security system seriously, Wiithout it ?

No State in Nigeria that has no resources but the leadership qualities determine the way forward. Look at Sokoto, Cross River, Kebbi they all have minerals and the rest Nigeria States, you will believe what I am saying. We concentrated on oil and we forget all other sectors that can give us money. Instead of Abuja as @ then and develop Ajaokuta steal complex and use the proceeds to develop Abuja.

The northern are very good people for ñigeria to be equal let lgbo rule ñigeria and see like obasanjo rule no progress no electricity no job no industry Jonathan rule no electricity no job no industry let us allowed lgbo to rule ñigeria if they can help us to develop ñigeria good we need electricity light industry job why the north worry about lgbo president God bless bisfra amen

Esther: what does restructuring mean to you? Fulani Bororo: nothing! Dude, you're outta your mind. The country isn't working and in need of reimagining.

lol, but why are Northerners scared of restructuring ?

if we can not agree using peace then we must agree through the barrel of a gun go and ask south and north sudan as that plan out today north sudan is suffering x10000 compare to south sudan. south sudan are africans north sudan are arabs same as nigeria south nigeria are african north nigeria are arabs

Where are we equal fool?the Buhari didn't make us to be equal in most top top officials office's are Fulani/Hausas so tell me how are we equal.You are a bastard let us separate Biafrans,Oduduwa and Arewa should go.

Alamagires do the understand sample English mad people everywhere

The presenter self weak

Almighty allah will punish restructioning .we are diff people with diff culture .we are not same people is british tht join us together.

You guys prefers animals to human being so let you guys that prefers animals , jihad, caging young people into false region , go and be together and take care of yourself as it seems fit. And let we that valued lives ( human ) take care of yourself simple. You talking about resources in other state that is owned by Nigeria ok , now why is it that gold in nasarawa and other resource is take nor tagged as it for Nigerian? You guys are busy fighty for yourself alone

This man conveniently omits mentioning what brought matters to head which domineering attitude of d northern people through sheer act of nepotism and they refusing to shift their stance a position dats been practiced for decades who d hell is going to put up with dis indefinitely

This man is ignorant of the fact that their are different types of governments and systems despite being one nation

Biafrans .we are one Nigeria under Murtala Mohammed you Northern go and Leader yourself we Biafrans you are not bro go Northern we Biafrans we want go

Why bring this backwardness to here... we have passed this level of reasoning. Far more reasonable northerners have accented to the need to devolve power to the constituent components.

Scared of disintegration?

We don enter eeeeeeh.

Iletraicy said, not

Chikena go ur way pronto

Why wasting time why not let the northerners have their country

This aboki is a fool.
