A developing country like Nigeria with limited resources paying 94 billion naira yearly for people to travel to Mecca,while majority of Nigerians wallow in poverty, is criminal 😳
Big time criminals, and who supporting this is also a criminal
Imagine
God will surely judge them all
TRUTH 💯👏👏👏
It’s part of the politicization of religion that destroys societies. Government has no business subsidizing pilgrimages. It’s abominable. But hey, Nigeria!
You elect ode criminal and you wanted things to be done right? And most of might be Yorubas alread always doing the same wanting great results
This is a bold idea from an experience and well-informed citizen and elder.
Please please this proposal is excellent, should be discussed and adopted, nothing to be removed, should be adopted 100% Dr, God bless you, you're a through Naija man
He spoke the mind of every poor Nigerian common citizens
This man is a very wise man
Why grouping all yoruba speaking states to one region while he failed to group all Igbo speaking language to one region? All these na politics of numbers and regional interest, dividing other region they think it threaten to them while grouping themselves to increase their numbers.
@@chinwendufrancisudekwe6449his nonsense draft is dead on arrival, any arrangement that di not keeps Eastern region of 1963 is provoking for another civil war.
@@chinwendufrancisudekwe6449 "If i hear war i go out side is youruba war i will go back to sleep😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣¯\(°_o)/¯"
Abacha 😂😂
@@chinwendufrancisudekwe6449 listen again he said he did that bcos they are calming dey have more yoruba tie dan where dey are now. But every small tribe and people will be given the right to choose and also passage to opt out too. very straightforward and intelligent idea 🙌
As a northerner, from a region where 95% of the population fend on agriculture, the current arrangement only benefit the politicians and corrupt office holders. The elites refused to make the region works because the oil money comes monthly freely. This man must be celebrated for the brain he puts around this document. He was very right when he said theres a big gap between the masses and govt in the current system. Nigerians have no say about what’s going on in their lives. Nigeria will forever remember Tinubu for this legacy.
On point bro, you are right
Tinubu can on be remembered if he summoned courage to restructure the country
Why didn’t Buhari or Goodluck restructure ?
GEJ wanted to do it ,he was the one that champion the 2014 constitution conference hoping to implement it if he win the 2015 presidential election..he lost to Mr integrity Mohammed Buhari,and upon resuming office,he was asked, will will he implement the ex president GEJ constitutional conference,he no, that it was condemned to the dustbin of history.. Hope I have informed you..
Are you a citizen of Nigeria ? GEJ tried The conference he convened already restructured but he lost the election and Buhari said it was Rubbish. His own agenda was to flood Nigeria with Fulani from the Sahel. He did that. @@Peggyg13
Regional system will bring out 80% above, potentiality, patriotism, efficiency, accountability, security, better living standard among Nigerians
This is a patriot and he sounds as one!Any leader that refuses to restructure allowing Nigeria to be the way it is now can parade himself as a patriot from now till tomorrow HE IS NOT A PATRIOT!!!
If Nigeria is to be structured, it should be in such away all regions should be carried along and fair treatment and not to the power of incumbent to favour a particular region and suppress a particular region.
@@chinwendufrancisudekwe6449 Correct.That's what they don't want.That's why they are kicking
When Patriots speak you will know. This man has the best intentions and interests for Nigeria 🎉
This man is very intelligent and I applaud him.
I pray that those looting our economy will be courageous enough to understand the consequences of not looking at this proposal that seeks to forge for a better future for Nigerians.
I. Fully agree with the speaker. It is high time Nigeria restructured so we can make progress in development.
This man has something on his brain though am from South East I buy this ideas i encourage all ohaneze, afenifere, pandef, middle belt Forum leaders to support the bill and push for it I believe is better for Nigeria and all Nigerians God bless you sir.
Nothing like marginalizing our Ndigbo again.
Stop your childish support, he keeps his South western region intact even takes some part from Delta, kwara,Kogi states and add to his region, but split the power House region of South East. Amy arrangement that does not keeps South East region of 1963 is dead on arrival.
You are the one who is at least being childish. You are the one who is already seeing a deliberate loopholes in an objective and honest work done because of your ethnic jingoism. The draft bill is a proposal which is subject to amendment. Dr Fapohunda is not saying everything in that report must be adopted. He did it to the best of his ability with the belief that the report will now be reviewed and necessary adjustment made before it is passed into law. People like you are part of the problem of Nigeria. If you really want a change for better, people like you should try and rebrand urself for a new Nigeria.
B@@user-wc7mz8ud8y Bad bele.. enemy of progress...
@@user-wc7mz8ud8yGod bless you
God bless this Doctor for bringing this regionalism matter up.
You are really speaking the mind of the masses.
God bless you.
Restructuring means every ethnic tribe should be on their own, anything apart from that, the hatred will still continue, let the people speak for themselves, not one Pharaoh claiming majesty above other people.
Let me help you further, yes, every ethnic group will have to wake up and put in the work needed to drive a healthy competition, you will then be able to hold your govt accountable properly, then, we will be very productive, by then, people will want to go to the extent of dyeing for their region to make it productive if possible, but with the current system, tell me one person that is ready to sacrifice his or her life for this present Nigeria or can you? Of course not!
Why? Because the love has diminished because of constant disappointment from our govt. So, this belief is for lazy people, people who are not ready for work. Let's take exemptions from this act of laziness. We should work hard when need be, and smart when time deems fit. Wake up from sleep my dear.
Exactly, he lumped parts of Igboland with other non-speaking ethnic regions and says "go to plebiscite".
Sounds like when they say "GO TO COURT".
Are you igbo or hausa? He be like say you don smoke igbo... We are all tasting for restructuring true federalism
Thank you very much Dr. for your demonstration of patriotism by that proposal. It is high time Nigeria restructured and make progress.
Anyone that goes against is the real enemy of Nigeria. This is the only way to go.
These man is making sense
Oga , If all Yoruba speaking states are joined together in 1 Region , All Igbo Speaking Poeple Must be in 1 Region .
5 Igbo states including all their Neighbor Igbo speaking Brothers .
Fair point
NOTHING DIFFERNT BETWEEN THIS TRIBE AND JANJWED
Una no dey read, or even hear word. There will be a "model" or referendum for every subgroup to make that choice through voting. He even suggested 55% as a proposed benchmark after the votes. And it's all suggestions to be deliberated upon
This man is a tribalistic man, I think he is only speaking for the yoruba. I saw his proposed bill, it's laughable.
Your alternative for a restructuring to make Nigeria annexe her great potentials..if you don't,then you hate Nigeria greatness
I never knew this kind of a brain still exist in Nigeria. Well done Sir. This is actually to be a decision in the right direction if adopted. It feels hopeful.
This is totally solution, Kudos to Dr Fapohunda
Lol, they borrow to share and not to invest and manufacture. Black man.
HELLOOOOO, THIS REGIONAL PROPOSAL IS TOO GOOD OOOOO MAY GOD BLESS YOU SIR, MAY GOD WILL LET IT PASS AND COME TO REALITY. AMEN
Look at the map,especially the way they take some lands in Igbo land and add to others, they had played that politics for long, if each ethnic group or region need to be together, is time to bring back the igbos nations they carved out since after the war, it was in the final peace deal but thd military came up with the crapoy constitution you are using now,that constitution was made by the military to favour the north.
God bless this Elder statesman
Very intelligent
This man spoke really well. Not gonna lie.
Restructuring, the best thing for Nigeria, nr 1 - insecurity problem will disappear, job creation will be massive, Nigeria will make a hell of wealth, peace all over the space of Nigeria. Can this happen in our time ????
Yes, we need to support the move.
If only Tinubu choose to do the right thing and write his name in gold forever!
Anyway, if he doesn't do it today, someone else will eventually do it and take all the glory forever! So, it's totally up to him!
As you rightly said, insecurity will disappear immediately there is restructuring. Why because the troublemakers are spending free oil-money they never worked for to procure arms and ammunition. Boko-haram that now metamorphosed into bandit and kidnappers would no longer have arms and bomb to cause mayhem. Each time politicians stole money, they keep aside a part to buy arms just to make sure that Nigeria is not settled. There won't be free money again.
@@adegboyegaogundiran8679 Maybe the questions is, why didn't Jonathan restructure? Why didn't Buhari do it?
I wish Persons like Him come together in the Interest of Nigeria to Make His Proposals Come Through as A New Structure for Nigeria 🇳🇬
I love what this man is saying and Nigeria really needs restructuring.... But the Major problem is not just the structure, but the people in the structure... How will we get the right people into the new system, so that we ensure they will always follow laws.... because currently the major problem we have is that the politicians are not following the law. This man has some really great Ideas though.
You're civilizations are coming through this educated gentleman.
This will bring peace and we will all be friends again
Northerner politicians will never agree to this NEVER! .
Get out which Northerners,day play you don't know what is coming..
This is wrong, it is called a fallacy of generalization, it is only those of them that are corrupt who are benefiting from this unitary system that may defer. The way their youths can become actively involved and get power themselves is through the regional system, all our beggers from every ethnic groups would be engaged working for the growth of their region. It is time we support this noble agenda please.
They don't have to.
Did I agree to be called South-South?
What kind of stupid gerrymander geography is that?
Not all northerners will reject it, some of them are going to support the new proposal for a new Nigeria
@@oyewumisogo4666 thunder ⚡ fire fallacy rubbish Islam destroyed the north and they are the most wicked there politicians made them poor
Why did you divide southeastern states?
Bcs that part of d country is multicultural nationalities, they deserve their own grassroots governance as a basic democratic devedence, and lastly no major nationalities would be allowed to feed fat at d expense of minore nationalities.
3 monocultural region, multicultural region and 2 semi autonomous regions
I support regionalism
But the regionalism should be crafted through ethnic lines
Which indirectly also will make some regional land scape smaller or bigger
Take for example, what would be the land scape of south south , are you going to take more Igbo land and draft it to another region
Or are you going to bring back igbo land seaded as south south back ?
From rivers, Delta, akwaibom , cross river , Edo, kogi and benue?
I hope the map was not drawn by this man, in which he further balkanised Igboland to ensure areas of huge oil and gas reserves in Igboland are carved into the southern minorities states. Ohaji Egbema area of Imo state which today has more than 90% of Nigeria's gas reserves, was wickedly carved into a SS state.. This is the height of wickedness towards Igbos.
So this bill should definitely be rejected by South easterners, unless they redraw the map and ensure all Igbo speaking peoples in both the SS and SE are joined together in one region.
He was smart enough to ensure Yoruba speaking areas were put in the same region, in spite of the fact that Lagos indigenes don't really want to be included in the Yoruba region, but for the Igbo, he ensured he balkanised and brutally slashed Igboland to various regions, obviously with the intention to hamstring the Igbo region economically.
Now I see the man is not truthful on his proposal very selfish
Somebody needs to re educate this man on the areas that comprise of Igbo land. Ohaji is part of IMO state, and there are Igbo’s in the south south and the middle belt. Your map is flawed.
The map is unacceptable
@@bigfrank5637the man is being mischievous, he knows exactly what he is doing. He was instructed by his pay masters to draw the map this way so as to strip Igbo land and the South East of her oil and gas resources. This is the end game here, the rest is just mumbo jumbo. The bill should be used to sell suya on a good Sunday evening.
God bless you abundantly Dr. Fapohunda 🤜🏽🤛🏽👋👋🏽👋🙌🏽🙌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
This is fantastic thinking from elder statesman and this your proposal will come to pass in the mighty name of Jesus
Amen.
This is a very good suggestion, but can these politicians be courageous to do it? Let's rise up and support this ideas.
The National Assembly should set up a new constitution committee, but they have to be patriotic, cut cost of governance in the country
Sense will not kill this man...Very interesting take..💯💯God bless you sir.....When Peter was saying cutting the cost of governance most of us doubted him..now it's becoming clearer and clearer
Brilliant proposal. This idea of Regional Government might be a God sent solution to our long time suffering in the hands of all these corrupt, criminals & destroyers of this nation There are few people of integrity in this country who are ready to volunteer to serve & go above and beyond to SAVE OUR SOULS from corrupt & selfish leaders who have been destroying us in so many ways , insecurity & poverty. May the Lord speedily deliver us from all the evil doers & set us free to enjoy our existence in this country too.
They borrowed recently trillions of naira.....
This country is going down the drain...
God bless you sir, you know this has been the option for a better Nigeria and if this idea is implimented for sure Nigeria will recover from all and we Nigerians will be proud of our loved nation called Nigeria ❤
You are right sir for your suggestion.
God bless you sir, you have spoken well...
Restructiuring must start with INEC...iNEC must restructured to conducy credible elections
Next is judiciary.otherwise revolution must happen... people can not continue to be under state capture be few
I concur!
INEC's failures are a result of a poor political structure. Constitution reform and regional restructuring is the first step
INEC is just a reflection sir 😅
Restructuring will mean the dismissal of the whole political elite and their cronies, they won't do that.
and how is this going to happen...
My problem with your proposal is the balkanisation of Eastern region. There are igbos in all the states of the so called south South, that's were you failed.
U can be Igbo and live anywhere, referendum will handle all ethnic barriers.
You can as well ask the ibo to vacate back to the dot they came from.
@@metrictonnes8971 vacate from their ancestral land?? U guys are funny 😅
@@RIGAFC-ts5nf what do u regard as ancestral land if I may ask lol?
If you don't know you ask Google, I don't have time to answer you!
Very well articulated!
Excellent proposal, if Nigeria can adopt this proposal i tell you Nigeria will be a very good country, but my fear is that these current politicians will not want to do it because they selfish interest.
Let Ndi-Igbo be allowed to be in one region
Thank you, Dr. For lending out your intellectualism for our common good. Only the North would oppoose this great and promising ideas.
Dr Akin God bless you as you say they should restructure Nigeria so that, there be peace.
Akin God bless you.
I will be praying for this chane to work.
Over 15 years ago, God told me that the whole world will marvel and come to ask us Nigerins how a nation can be ruled by God.
I am persuaded it will happen if Christ tarries.
Wow! GOD bless sir.
1 Kings 12:8, 13-14, 19 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Arise is marketing Atiku, Mentioning Atiku about restructuring is an insult to Southern leaders
They want the North to receive it
It is an indirect way of telling the North that their person is in support of the restructuring idea
@@abumonyeigbo5040hmm, makes sense
Great man👌🏾👏🏾
If this is true, then Nigeria owes Nnamdi kwanu both apology and immediate release and compensation.
Nobody owes kanu any apology. Seccesion is different from restructure. In any case, smart people have been agitating for restructuring since after the civil war. From Awolowo in the 80s to Wole Soyinka and Anthony Enahoro in the 90s under PRONACO. So nothing new here.
Nnamdi Kanu drafted no bill nor proposal to the president. Shouting avails nothing.
Well spoken
This is most welcome. There will be no more wasteful spending from Abuja
Good idea. Kudos to you, Doctor Fapohunda. God will give you more wisdom. But the problem is that our politicians are selfish and greedy. I pray that God should appease their sense of reasoning and their conscience.
36 States of consumption and 774 LGAs of profligeracy.
Not only over consumption but seasonal consumption. A mad scenario
Only patriotic Nigerian lawmakers will allow such a novel executive bill to be passed if the president is courageous and patriotic enough to send it to the national assembly.
Kudos to Dr Akin Fapohunda for giving us an insight into what restructuring is as far as Nigeria is concerned.
I pray that the president will be proactive and do something.
Kudos to Dr. Fapohunda. At least someone is not just speaking about solutions but has actually written something that can be worked with. I would love to read the document. Where can one access it?
Good one
God bless this man
Absolute truth so far. ... this a silver bullet
I love this statement ' there are many retired people who are ready to serve the country voluntarily '....they should send away all these thieves in name of politicians sucking this country dry.
A lot of those retired people brought Nigeria to where she is today.
@@olujamesuk in what way Jumoke
While we look at restructuring is highly recommended for a savaging Nigeria, I also want to recommend greatly that mind restructuring is highly prioritized especially with our fulani communities and every other people
Great document…I pray God helps in the advancement and complete implementation of the proposals there in.
Please where can one get access to the full document?
It will be listed and should be listed. The idea can be subjected to variation. But it is more than important to engage in discussions. The president is the right man to put the idea forward and he would still be reappointed as president if the current developmental processes continues. We know what he's doing and Nigeria will recognise him for it and he will certainly write his name in a book of gold. There was a time when we used to talk about provinces. As a matter of fact, for developmental sake, it is needed as oil money dwindled.
Omo Oke Imesi Agbona Well Done Darling
You. have my support on this.Note however our fundermentsl issues have yo do with attitudes. We have had more beautiful proposals than this before which failed for lack of in implitations. Unless you ensure this does not follow suit,it will be another waste..
Supported
Also 8 regions is too much. 6 is fine if people are properly consulted and fitted. Also, regions should be created based on population not on empty land mass. Because governance is for human beings not land.
8 regions is not too much at all. Nigeria is too diverse. 8 is very much in order.
@@xfactor6099can you for example draft Nigeria into 8 regions , I'd like to see .. how's going to be
If I don't mind
Saying it should be created by population is good and also wrong
It should be created along ethnic lines
I love this proposal !.
This man needs to be celebrated, and if tinubu can buy this idea , truth to be told all the killings in Nigeria will stop and Nigeria will still stand as once and there will be a great change and his name will never be forgotten in the history of Nigeria.
This is a great idea I must confess.
I pray it will work.
Perhaps our Journalists require skills in asking focussed questions rather than verbose statements and confusing questions
By looking at the map for the restructuring, the Old Eastern Region is divided into 3 regions, the middle belt remains 1 region, the Old western region remain intact as 1 Region while the far North remains 1 Region. Shame to them to accept deceit by the Caliphate, whose minds are poisoned permanently against the Igbo in the old Eastern Region. Meanwhile it’s in the far North that the minorities are marginalized and pushed to the edges of Nigeria and out of the cities yet they are in the same region as proposed.
Ndigbo don't need non Igbos in the proposed restructuring to avid any allegation of marginalization.
You don't seem to have eyes. The middlebelt has 2 regions - western middlebelt state, eastern middlebelt state....
Delta and Edo (Old Bendel State) were part of the Old Western Region before being carved out to the Mid-Western region.
I love this man for saying the truth and has a brilliant idea on how to save Nigeria
They monitor only critics but good advice is not monitor.
I think this is a brilliant idea
I agree 👍💯
This man is a genius 👏
The situation of Nigeria is awful because of the greedy attitude of our politicians. I don't care about any new structural regions without stamping out or reducing the court attitudes of the top politicians. Which countries in the world do you see elected politicians go to office poor and retire as millionaires? How come Nigerian politicians never want to retire for good? We loot government money and travel to Dubai, Saudi Arabia and so fourth yet the families running these countries are fair to spread the wealth to accommodate common citizens? Why would any politician in Nigeria earn any salary more than the President and Senators of the United States? Why should Nigeria build a house for the Vice President one of the most paid public servants? In my opinion it is corruption and greediness stupid. When any government can't and don't care about it's people we have no government.
I agree with you, this is a return to parliamentary democracy with modified regions.
Financial autonomy to the regions
God bless this man. Even though I know this idea is not from him alone but he is the driver of the bus. God bless u. If only this will fly the legacy will be on the current select president.
What is the next question when you are asking so many questions at a spot. Can you media remember to answer those questions accordingly. This is unreasonable presentation, the man is smart he only picks one to avoid confusion.
Nigeria is in serious trouble already today.
If colonial anthem was a priority for Grandpa Tinubu, why not take us back to regional governments as it was at independence too?
The only place I disagree with Dr Fapounda is that if he put all the Yoruba speaking people together. He must also put all Igbo speaking people together. Anioma people in delta , Igbanke in Edo, Igbo speakers in Kogi, Benue, cross river state, Akwa Ibom , Rivers and Balyesa states purposely scattered by previous leaders of Nigeria just to make Igbos a dot in the circle as unashamedly said by Buhari and made minorities in some of these states must be put back to join their kinsmen in South East. The civil war ended in 1970 . Therefore , we must always be fair to all parties or leave it as it is . People should be consulted and asked where they want to be not to continue making the same mistake made by the military . Lord Lugard and Berlin conference.
Don't mind this man, looking at his proposal, he is tribalistic. He can't just seat at the comfort of his home and divide Nigeria the way it suits him.
there will be referendum for sub region to decide where they belong,,,he said it..he's not tribalistic.. you are the one jumping into conclusions
@@olamidesurajwill they not manipulate the referendum
Let's get there first...be optimistic
@@olamidesuraj
I am not jumping into any conclusion because I saw the proposed bill, all the yoruba in the neighbouring states were added to the western Nigeria. What about the Ibo in other state, he didn't stop there he also divided the people of Edo state and other minority without considering the culture and traditions etc, He is a noise maker.
That regional map is wrong.
It is still splitting the south east.
Which suppose to include Akwaibom, cross rivers,rivers. these are far east.
If enugu,anambra is in the east, Akwaibom And cross rivers are farther in the east.
The smart europeans made calarbar the first capital of the eastern region .
You can see north has much more portion.
Kogi and Benue are in the south.
Nigeria can try divided if it doesn't work out we can come back again divided Nigerian unto three places
A very good suggestion but why this 8 instead of current 6? because fragmentation of tribes in between the tribal lines it will bring more agitation.
I have always opined that Regional govt is the best. Regional autonomy .
Regardless of the idea, a lawless state is a lawless society. As far as the law is not functioning in this system , in that regional system if the law still doesn't work we are doomed. federalism is far far better than regional government.
Divide and conquer=regionalism
Nigeria has moved from a federal system in 1966 to a UNITARY System in 2024
Unitary system centralize all powers in the central government dominated by a section of the country!!!
Something our great leader Ojukwu said over 50yrs ago still on the table,,,,well no time is late,but disintigration is the only anwser ,
Liar
@@officialmail3564 go and ask your dad the meaning of 'on Aburi we stand ,, who said it ,when and why did he say it,,fools everywhere

Oponu, you think you can use lies and propaganda to decieve everybody, but everyone is as foolish as you. Mtchew.
Restructuring of the country is the only way out.But some group especially from part of the North do not like the idea. They need to be convinced that it is the only way out.
We citizens must make this push....its the only way
I am fully in tandem with the restructuring of Nigeria's federalism, the present structure is lopsided, cumbersome and expensive,it only favors the few.
If i may ask, who worked on the map though, were all region involved in working out that map.
Yakubu Gowon is alive. God has kept him and will continue to keep him. Let him open up and tell Nigerians what he agreed with Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu at Aburi, Ghana before the 1967-1970 Civil War and what happened to that agreement.
They borrow to have their way in 2027. I blame financial institutions that lend Nigeria any financial assistance now. The whole world knew that this government come to steal not to govern afterall they have no manifesto, no debate only appeared in chattam house where they shared questions among their cohorts.
