The statement that we are Nigerians first before being whatever ethnic group we are is a wrong assertion. Nigeria is an integration of various ethnic groups. I am first me, a yoruba man with a culture and ethnic beliefs and considerations. If the Nigeria would not accommodate the whole of me, then it needs restructuring is needed to let me be able to be who I am within the larger entity called Nigeria.
100% nationalism was the first casualty post colonialism and the new dawn of the republic. It was designed to perpetuate internal conflicts. Its the same issue in most African countries. The best way is to tear down national bounderies and restructure our own societies. This thing called Nigeria Republic is a private organisation listed in London. We are simply tax payers in this game of chess.
Its more like "willful Ignorance" ....they always come up with " what does restructure mean and restructure means different things to different section " in a bid to distract and deflate ones opinion but that will expire soon because the momentum for an equitable structure is unstoppable .
This people are living in a bubble. Those that benefit from the status quo will do all that they can to maintain the status quo. Restructuring is the moderate voice, ignore at your own peril
Solar powered pumps for water. Husks of corn can be turned into silage for cow feed. Cassava peels can be processed exactly like garri for cow feed also. With those three things you don’t need RUGA in my town.Are you telling me an educated Fulani who has worked on three continents does not know these things.
"This union has failed" because the families failed, LGAs failed and the states failed. No one cares about the development of his town or state anymore as everybody wants free money to loot. For example, the NDDC was created to develop the Niger Delta. The indigenes of Delta in charge have been looting it since the creation of NDDC.
I feel for this guy. Seems educated. But he is starred in the face with his kinsman in the government who said he will favour the percentage of those who voted him in. But sadly his (buhari) ineptitude has blown up in their faces. Their women are raped and their children killed by themselves. But if this country were to remain one the yorubas and the Igbos would want to avert the same fate befalling them like it is in the north. Although the insecurity is everywhere. Hence the clamour for restructuring or a break up!!!
But why is it that every where you go the Fulanis are the heading every thing.They head of Military,Police,Navy,Air Force and every important post in Nigeria.
@comrade RSA Incorruptible It is a well-known fact that they do not possess the leadership qualities needed to lead, move the country forward, and halt the disintegration that is taking place before our eyes. Despite the existence of mountains of information that Nigeria is on the precipice of doom, they have failed to take decisive measures to address these problems, failed to deliver on campaign promises to improve the lives of ordinary citizens but have instead engaged in double-speak and blame games (“The Igbos caused this…”) The key question to ask is: Will they be willing to give up power for the better of the people of Nigeria?
@jackson oladira this is a very important question you just asked....and the answer to your question from my own point of view is that the fulanis are very very smart people because they are all planning for the raining day when it happens then they can use their Military,Police,Navy,Air Force which they are heading PRESENTLY IN Nigerians.... Bro its all planned out the fulanis can plan their strategy for 50 or 100 years before they strike ....they dont want restructuring or break up, they are all waiting for second civil war they are well prepared as ever before!
@Larry Ade Many of them are agents acting on behalf of the Fulani ruling class from locations in the South. They have sold their conscience in return for money, to allow the North to oppress us. They don't have the power to change anything. The real power is in the hands of those who control the military bases, are in charge of government, the courts, the state security apparatus, those who order python dances, organize mass theft of resources, and provide it with international legal cover. the Fulani dominate every aspect.
It always funny to me when some of us said that fulanis are not Nigerians. its really funny. Fulanis are 100% Nigerians and they shall continue rule Nigeria. They're very smart..
Waste of time listening to this guy. To him Nigeria must remain the same no matter what. Pretending he doesn't understand what restructuring mean. Restructure or we break it up.
The Prof is being ecinomical with the truth. He knows the truth. Suddenly Dr. Abati, the all knowing analysts suddenly lost his voice. He cant even ask any serious questions or even a follow up. Coward. You should have ask him the real pertinent question.. Ask him what the solution should be.
You disagreed with infrastructure, but agree with establishing Ruga which is part of the infrastructure. We cited American but failed in that America is built base on the region. Fulani mentality
We must face the truth oooooo. Most Northerners will never see anything wrong with current Nigeria system. We still need restructuring, look into everything carefully
Prof Usman was busy talking of insecurity in the North, and without a solution to this insecurity in the North, there will be no restructuring. This is a statement of impunity and domineering ownership of this country. The insecurity is an effect. The question is what is the cause of this insecurity in the north. Until North addresses the cause of this insecurity, they will continue to be enveloped by it. And this flagrant display of impunity and ownership of this country should be strongly rejected by the other federating geo-political zones of this country period.
Humm! Good to bring people like him out to get things right someday. At least, we heard all his non-coherent speech. I am more informed as a South-west Nigerian to support the agitation for either restructuring or O'dua Nation listening to this old man.
He doesn't have good answers to those questions Ruben. He's seen the best countries in the world and he's speaking in this manner? Is it how those best countries do in their lands?
The question is why are people agitating for restructuring. The present House of Assembly can not do the work because Majority will carry the vote which as it where today are mostly Northerners .We need fresh constitution where every region cater for resources in their domain
If Fulani who dominate all levers of powers in Nigeria and yet no security in your tribes, don't you get it thstvthe rest of the nation who your brothers are oppressing them in their ancestral homes are not happy with the injustice of the Fulani Federal government.
All what you're saying is gilberish. Sorry your professorship is questionable; because you know you're being deceitful. And that has been your game for a long time.. You knew what you're doing and saying is all to your advantage; and to the detriment of others. Which constitution are you referring to? The one written by Yadudu; imposed on us all by Abdul Salami Abubakar under the disguise that he wanted to leave in 1999 when he knew everything in the constitution favors the North. And for your information; we're not Nigerians first. I'm Yoruba first before anything. My race and other nationalities including yours has been in existence before the British came and gave you the advantage over us when they were leaving. You created your problems for yourselves when you created Sharia in twelve (12) northern states; and you were warned. But you never listen; Go on if you want to keep killing yourselves, please continue to do so; but leave us out of your madness of valuing cow's lives more than human lives. Do face your problems; and let us face ours. Out we want, going we're going. We're not the same. I'm Yoruba; You're Fulani. We're not in anyway the same. Please give me a break from your constant one Nigerianess of Deceitful patriotism. Go and carry your cross and let me carry mine.
Wow wow wow what a teacheable moment, I glued to the TV for the entire duration of this program. This man is a noble, intellectual and a great Nigeria. If anyone with sense of honestly and ample intelligent will surely learn something from this prof. And for those not appreciating his depth of knowledge and understanding of the topic well maybe you guys need to search your understanding and stop your ethnocentric sentiment in thinking. Maybe it's about time you free your mind of the mental slavery and start thinking for yourself and not what someone else conjugated into your thought process. Thank you prof and God continue to bless you and help NIGERIA navigate through this period in peace and harmony
Chai..... oma se ooo.... what peace, what harmony nitori olorun..... i find it quite amusing this is coming from a yoruba man. What exactly is ethno centrism or how are we ethnocentric by calling for restructuring/true federalism? Are we still practicing the same federalism we agreed on in 1960? We are practising a unitary system where by the central controls all as well as favouring the north and you still don't get it. They contribute little or nothing but they are the greatest beneficiary of this contraption called Nigeria. How many core northern will you find in europe and America doing menial jobs? Most of all Nigeria embassy are dominated by them as well as the federal civil service back at home. A country that makes use of quota system as against meritocracy. We all know the professor is being economical with the truth. If it were you too, am sure you wouldn't wanna let go of a system that benefits you. Most likely, you're a beneficiary of one Nigeria but many of us are not. Am an economic immigrant in Europe but this is against my will. I would have love to work and remain in my country but all thanks to quota system, nepotism and favoritism of a certain ethnic over other. Am just tired of you yoruba liberals...
@@dareisaac415 who introduced us to the unitary system in the first place? Aguiyi ironsi took us to the unitary system for his and the ibo selfish reason to be able to have full control of the country resources in the first place. So stop pointing fingers in the wrong direction
@@dareisaac415 you chose to flee your country for your own obvious reasons and I wouldn't condemn you for the actions you took that you believe it's good for you, but don't condemn those who chose to stay and sweat it out back home and makes something out of nothing. To each his or her own. Am just tired of people feeling they're smarter or better than another by virtue of their tribes... it's nonesense and intellectually laziness THE GREATEST PROBLEM WE HAVE AS A NATION IS OUR DISRESPECT AND OUTER IGNORANT OF WHO OUR NEIGHBORS ARE. IT'S SO ABSURD WHEN SOMEONE THINK THEY ARE WISER OR SMARTER THAN ANOTHER PERSON BY VIRTUE OF THEIR ETHNICITY, OR ANOTHER BELIEVE THE OTHER ETHNIC ARE TO BE SUBJECTED TO SUBHUMAN OR THAT THEY'RE BORN TO LORD OVER OTHERS. ALL THESE MINDSET MUST BE PURGE OUT OF OUR MINDSET TO MOVE FORWARD COLLECTIVELY AS A NATION. The Qur'an teaches that all people were created equally by Allah. No race can claim to be superior to another. The Prophet also taught that everyone is equal and the only thing that separates one person from another is their good/bad actions. In Islam all races are EQUAL and loved by Allah.
@@fataiadegbenro984 flee?? Am sure you know the difference btw fleeing and travelling sir. Mind you, you don't know me, neither have you seen me b4. Arriving at that conclusion about people who choose to stay at home against me is so subjective. You know what, as a fellow yoruba man, one of the problem i have with your type is your emotional attachment to the north. If proper precaution isn't taken, the yoruba nation will have a serious problem in the nearest future as a result of the fact that people like you are always economical with the truth.... The bases of arguement is simple. Are we running a federal system? Do we need to restructure?? Does the system benefits a section of the country than the other? When you're honest enough to answer these rhetoric questions, we can then continue with our objective analysis.
very intelligent and intellectual exchange between interviewers and the interviewed. So I am very surprised that only 8 thousands Nigerians have viewed this upload so far; knowing that 2023 is an election year.
You guys are scared of asking the Northerners: why is it that the custom service, the senate, the whole security institutions, most of the ministers are and the strategic position in this country are headed by the Northerners??
idiot..their son is in power..just as it will be 4 others assuming they are in power..why don't you silly clowns complain under obj and jona..pathetic hypocrites.
Trying to look away from his point myself but I can't. What I see is he is trying to make a strong point but the reality is starring him in the face is hitting him hard. I feel for him cos he sounds like a voice of reason but the man(buhari) there representing the divide of the country he comes from is not allowing him sail with the truth. Hence he can't say things the way it is. I don't even think he has the balls to call buhari out. He keeps deflecting to other issues though true in terms of the governors and infrastructure as against security. But the big fish in the ocean is the failure of buhari. Sadly a Fulani man
Restructuring is simple means, every state scontrol everything in their states, plus state police and security e.t.c. pay 25-30 5 to the center finish.
Look at his Janus face. Talking rubbish. Is the country a place worthy of habitation for the people except for you Fulanis who on daily basis engage in all forms of socio-political and economic vices? What's he talking about? He talks very annoyingly. In addition, he is completely a confused man, approbating and reprobating at the same time.
This Fulani man is so full of himself. Privately, he is scared by the prospect of Nigeria breaking up. Nigeria will break up the way it is going so SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN! There is no need for threatening talks. No wonder he fell out with his minister of health. He is damn too ARROGANT.
"....We are first Nigerians??????" Totally disagree with you. If people up there had been sharing this thinking long ago, they would have been patriotic toward Nigeria. Truth is, the first allegiance of most uneducated Nigerians is their faith and not Nigeria. You goofed on that Professor.
No one should expect those benefiting from this injustice to be against it, the constitution his talking about is just a piece of trash that needs to be trashed, constitution of any nation is written by the people not few individuals from a particular tribe.
Arise News should have brought Dele Farotimi to educate this Professor on what 'Restructuring' means. If crude oil in commercial quantity should be found in one of the states in the North, I bet Prof. would quickly understand restructuring.
Usman Yusuf is the wrong person to be lecturing us about constitution. This is the same man who was recalcitrant at the National Health Inshurance Schemed. He felt entitled to a job. As far as I am concerned , I don't need this clown telling me about constitution.
He has spoken well like a fulani and northerner. No fulani man wants restructuring and they will always argue against it since it favors them the most... If you are complaining about the killing in the north is it not the consequences of your actions, beliefs and thirst for power that brought it upon you? It's just sad that Ruben, rufai and tudun couldn't ask him Germain questions as they have been known to always do... We need restructuring let each region rule themselves... This constitution favours only the north so they will fight for it to to remain so... We are tired we want a constitution that works for us and not a particular tribe taking the rest of us for a ride
Nonsense! You people exactly know what restructuring means! U people are happy having all the service chiefs from ur north! All the appointments in government from ur place! Thunder fire all of you that claims u don’t know what it means! Nigeria must be restructured or things will go soar!!!
Prof Usma say RUGA but people says ranches. But are there Ruga in the USA ,Europe and Asia because they also have cow herders there. This man should tell the south what the north have to brings to the country as something to share with the south,for example they have large espanse of land,can they allows the farmers in south to come and take over some lands in all the states in north for them to farm?,can they resettlement some southern farmers to the north?
You don't expect anything more from the beneficiary of this worped system. You will notice that these people will always say: restructuring means different things to different people, so forget it. They don't want to restructure and MNK is 100% correct. He is divinely inspired to know their thinking, so something has to give way soon for any forward movement. Thank goodness people are getting ready.
Who wrote the constitution he is hampering on ceaselessly, this man must be made to understand that the game up.we are not Nigerian before our ethnic nationalities. There is nothing bidding with the so called Nigeria.
Ok,the country should continue restructuring until we have a perfect country but it better to go back to regional governments as the colonial master left it for us in 1960.
Prof Yusuf, I greet you. Please ask your northern leaders why all the police officers left the north and were in every street in the south west / south east?? , prof you said we have representatives in the house, please prof to inform you! The representatives were only representing their pockets. Prof you said that the northerners has been killed since 11 years ago and that nobody is publishing it , prof thats lie its been published every day, MNK the IPOB LEADER was reporting it every day to the entire world so Kudos to him . If I may ask you how did this 11 years killing in the north started ?? , Prof finally let me ask you this two (2) question IS THE MAN IN ASO ROCK NOW THAT YOUR KATSINA BROTHER BUHARI THAT YOU KNOW??? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT OF YOUR BROTHER TANKO MOHAMMAD CJN FOR HIS JUDGMENT OF IMO STATE ELECTION TRIBUNAL ?? Your simple answer to this two (2) questions will tell the world whom you are .
The statement that we are Nigerians first before being whatever ethnic group we are is a wrong assertion. Nigeria is an integration of various ethnic groups. I am first me, a yoruba man with a culture and ethnic beliefs and considerations. If the Nigeria would not accommodate the whole of me, then it needs restructuring is needed to let me be able to be who I am within the larger entity called Nigeria.
Indeed, every Nigerian belongs to his/her ethnic group before Nigeria because Nigeria is a group of nations.
100% nationalism was the first casualty post colonialism and the new dawn of the republic. It was designed to perpetuate internal conflicts. Its the same issue in most African countries. The best way is to tear down national bounderies and restructure our own societies. This thing called Nigeria Republic is a private organisation listed in London. We are simply tax payers in this game of chess.
Time and time again, northerners pretend they don't understand what restructuring really means. Willful ignorance or just plain obfuscation?
It's not in their interest. They are the greatest benefactor of the status quo.
Its more like "willful Ignorance" ....they always come up with " what does restructure mean and restructure means different things to different section " in a bid to distract and deflate ones opinion but that will expire soon because the momentum for an equitable structure is unstoppable .
Their deception has been exposed and so expired. It will never work again.
Typical Fulani man, they pretend they don't know what Restructuring or devolution of powers mean, they confuse issues making the simple look complex.
60 years is enough to practice madness, it is time to practicalize the madness. Oduduwa MUST go. The Biafrans have left Nigeria since 1967.
Hahahaha
Professor do you think you have the right to tell the southern Nigerians how to Sharp the destiny of their children???
This people are living in a bubble. Those that benefit from the status quo will do all that they can to maintain the status quo.
Restructuring is the moderate voice, ignore at your own peril
Solar powered pumps for water. Husks of corn can be turned into silage for cow feed. Cassava peels can be processed exactly like garri for cow feed also. With those three things you don’t need RUGA in my town.Are you telling me an educated Fulani who has worked on three continents does not know these things.
They know what they are doing. They are just crying wolf, the country favours them like this.
Why the Fulanis are afraid of Nigeria disintergration.
This union has failed. Anyone who disagrees is living in a bubble. You can't hide the truth forever. One day, this bubble will bust
"This union has failed" because the families failed, LGAs failed and the states failed. No one cares about the development of his town or state anymore as everybody wants free money to loot. For example, the NDDC was created to develop the Niger Delta. The indigenes of Delta in charge have been looting it since the creation of NDDC.
I feel for this guy. Seems educated. But he is starred in the face with his kinsman in the government who said he will favour the percentage of those who voted him in. But sadly his (buhari) ineptitude has blown up in their faces. Their women are raped and their children killed by themselves. But if this country were to remain one the yorubas and the Igbos would want to avert the same fate befalling them like it is in the north. Although the insecurity is everywhere. Hence the clamour for restructuring or a break up!!!
But why is it that every where you go the Fulanis are the heading every thing.They head of Military,Police,Navy,Air Force and every important post in Nigeria.

What about cut off point mark...for northern nigerians...is it ..the same country with different law and rule
Restructuring is simple means, every state scontrol everything in their states, plus state police and security e.t.c. pay 25-30 5 to the center finish.

Is the country a place worthy of habitation for the people except for you Fulanis who on daily basis engage in all forms of socio-political and economic vices? What's he talking about? He talks very annoyingly. In addition, he is completely a confused man, approbating and reprobating at the same time.
Local autonomy of the region will resolve the insecurity problems.
Of course the politicians are criminals but if u think all Nigerians are equal, u must be sleeping
Because the hopeless constition favours you
Whatever man he is,fulani or hausa must be crazy with his idea we are talking about restructuring not governors period
Fulani is no hausa
@@charlesobi492 ooh sorry
What are you restructuring? Was the Confab used? Killings? Or what?
This Fulani man is so full of himself. Privately, he is scared by the prospect of Nigeria breaking up.
Nigeria will break up the way it is going so SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN! There is no need for threatening talks.
No wonder he fell out with his minister of health. He is damn too ARROGANT.
We are not one people and we can never ever be one people pls.
This man,Professor Usufu with makeup can pass as Buhari. He has some ideas but Fulani people can not be trusted
"....We are first Nigerians??????" Totally disagree with you. If people up there had been sharing this thinking long ago, they would have been patriotic toward Nigeria. Truth is, the first allegiance of most uneducated Nigerians is their faith and not Nigeria. You goofed on that Professor.
Why don't he advocate for those multiple road blocks with multitude of police men be reduced & the police men move to the North to help.
No one should expect those benefiting from this injustice to be against it, the constitution his talking about is just a piece of trash that needs to be trashed, constitution of any nation is written by the people not few individuals from a particular tribe.
well, you need security but we need resource control each state controlling each resources and paying the federal government
Arise News should have brought Dele Farotimi to educate this Professor on what 'Restructuring' means. If crude oil in commercial quantity should be found in one of the states in the North, I bet Prof. would quickly understand restructuring.
Who is the MOTHER of boko harms..it is the NORTH.
Nigeria must break up we own Nigeria nothing will stop us.
Self determination is a right.
Who are the bandits? Who are the security chiefs, so what's the problems of security in the North
How do you get there?
Usman Yusuf is the wrong person to be lecturing us about constitution. This is the same man who was recalcitrant at the National Health Inshurance Schemed. He felt entitled to a job. As far as I am concerned , I don't need this clown telling me about constitution.
If this country is not restructure you never see peace in that country. Mark my world.
we are not one nation cuz your generation had divided the one nation.
He has spoken well like a fulani and northerner. No fulani man wants restructuring and they will always argue against it since it favors them the most... If you are complaining about the killing in the north is it not the consequences of your actions, beliefs and thirst for power that brought it upon you? It's just sad that Ruben, rufai and tudun couldn't ask him Germain questions as they have been known to always do... We need restructuring let each region rule themselves... This constitution favours only the north so they will fight for it to to remain so... We are tired we want a constitution that works for us and not a particular tribe taking the rest of us for a ride
Nonsense! You people exactly know what restructuring means! U people are happy having all the service chiefs from ur north! All the appointments in government from ur place! Thunder fire all of you that claims u don’t know what it means! Nigeria must be restructured or things will go soar!!!
What do yoy expect from a beneficiary.
This fulani man should stop talking.he is a beneficiary of the system. Ask him about his stay in the USA or his employer ( Nigeria Government
Why don’t you Rugar in the North
Prof Usma say RUGA but people says ranches.
But are there Ruga in the USA ,Europe and Asia because they also have cow herders there.
This man should tell the south what the north have to brings to the country as something to share with the south,for example they have large espanse of land,can they allows the farmers in south to come and take over some lands in all the states in north for them to farm?,can they resettlement some southern farmers to the north?
North is secured enough to be alone ,
You don't expect anything more from the beneficiary of this worped system. You will notice that these people will always say: restructuring means different things to different people, so forget it.
They don't want to restructure and MNK is 100% correct. He is divinely inspired to know their thinking, so something has to give way soon for any forward movement. Thank goodness people are getting ready.
Who wrote the constitution he is hampering on ceaselessly, this man must be made to understand that the game up.we are not Nigerian before our ethnic nationalities. There is nothing bidding with the so called Nigeria.
Who is this clown so called professor???
Nigeria is DEAD
This fulani man is an embarrassment as mot of his people 😱😳
Those are the stake holders , they should be brought in to determine how they want to live together
Enough time has been wasted....
WHAT USELESS CONSTITUTION IS HE TALKING ABOUT ? THE ONE WHERE SECTION 2 WILL SAY 1+1 = 2 BUT SUB-SECTION 4 WILL SAY 1+1 = 5 , USELESS CONSTITUTION
Look at this man is not happy for the studio he don't want to hear restructure or to brake up
What are the police doing so no police officer again 😢😢
If he don't know what is restructure let him visit dictionary
Creating states and local governments is not restructuring
you are diverting the question. The question is are you supporting everybody going to Abuja for allocation?
Constitutional democracy indeed...lol
He was completely a Fulani man. Same mindset, regardless of hisceducatiin Absolute trash
I live in US too
With all the barriers the affluent put on the way?
Were they really elected?
Ok,the country should continue restructuring until we have a perfect country but it better to go back to regional governments as the colonial master left it for us in 1960.
Prof Yusuf, I greet you. Please ask your northern leaders why all the police officers left the north and were in every street in the south west / south east?? , prof you said we have representatives in the house, please prof to inform you! The representatives were only representing their pockets. Prof you said that the northerners has been killed since 11 years ago and that nobody is publishing it , prof thats lie its been published every day, MNK the IPOB LEADER was reporting it every day to the entire world so Kudos to him . If I may ask you how did this 11 years killing in the north started ?? , Prof finally let me ask you this two (2) question
IS THE MAN IN ASO ROCK NOW THAT YOUR KATSINA BROTHER BUHARI THAT YOU KNOW???
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT OF YOUR BROTHER TANKO MOHAMMAD CJN FOR HIS JUDGMENT OF IMO STATE ELECTION TRIBUNAL ??
