Fapohunda, Abayomi Review Proposed Bill For A New Governance Model

[@frankobinna1926]

All the Igbo speakers must be in one region. Igbos in house will never accept this stupid maps.

[@christopheruwubanmwen8261]

Please, it is high time you Igbos should stop these your unnecessary agitations? Yes the Igbos are marginalised immediately after the civil war, but don’t also forget that the Igbos were in charge of Nigeria before the civil war. This idea of Igbos trying to create a Biafra Country and adding non Igbos into the equation without their consent will create the same abnormality of marginalisation the Igbos are complaining about in Nigeria. For example, Ikwerres of Port Harcourt elders had made it clear that they are not Igbos because the acestors are Benins lead by the Benin warrior called Akakaka. Also, the Anambra people said they are came from Benin as started by the Obi of Onitsha who is a direct Son of the Oba of Benin who ancestor was lead by Chima a Benin warrior. So you can see that because people speak the Igbo language does not make them Igbos? For example, there are Igbo speakers in everywhere in Nigeria-Edo, Lagos, Kogi, Benue, Rivers etc. For the fact that they speak the Ibo language doesn’t make them Igbos, because they know their ancestry and where they are from and certainly not from Igbo land? Thanks

[@ifeanyichukwuawgu3525]

Hypocrisy at its peak. So Yoruba speaking parts of Kogi, Kwara and other States will be annexed into Southwest but the Anioma and other Igbo speaking parts in other States will not be annexed into Southeast?

[@emmanuelivoko5573]

You are too smart for yourself. You confidently gathered all Yorubas in SW, Kwara and kogi states into one region while you failed to include the Igbos in SE, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Benue, kogi and Delta States into one region. Your goal is to make the Igbos politically insignificant. This convinces me that the Yorubas hate the Igbos absolutely. With your mind set which is the same with the current administration, we the Igbos demand for the restoration of the defunct Republic of Biafra. The Igbo nation extends beyond the current South East.

[@ezecletus6465]

People are craving for more states because the states are “centers of consumption “ rather than “centers of production “. Proponents are seeking to carve out spheres of influence where they could become in positions that could make it easier for them to achieve “state capture “ and appropriate to themselves the resources of their hapless and helpless citizens with impunity without having to contend with some other powerful persons outside of their new fiefdoms.

[@gaanihunwokorie5395]

Your plan is to unite all Yoruba people into one region while dividing the Igbo's the more by dividing them into 4 different regions. You want to take some part of Imo and join the south south, take the Anioma Igbo's into one other region, to continue keeping the Igbo's in Kogi and Benue in the middle belt while you bring all Yoruba's into one region including those from Kwara and Kogi. We Igbo's are not fools ok, all Igbo's must be in one region. Ohanaeze and all Igbo leaders must say No to this one sided bill. Who are you to be the one to say how Nigeria Should be divided? All Igbo's must shine their eyes.

[@Obalufon]

You’re lying! There’re more Yorubas in Kogi than Igbo and there’s no Igbo in Benue or Middle Belt at all. Do you know that there’re Yoruba in Delta state also? So Yorubas in this suggestion are not all together in anyway, they’re scattered in Kogi, Delta, Edo and Middle Belt. So, stop the cap!

[@madubaym]

​@Obalufon Please enlighten yourself on the Umuezekoha people who's dialect is closely linked to the Ebonyi state. They can be found in four LGAs in Benue state. The Word Anioma is an Igbo word that means abundant land. Anioma covers nine LGAs in Delta state.

We can't just be comparing the Nigeria states with other sane countries that are serious minded, respect the rule of law and are progressive in nature, when we say some states are not viable it is not because they are lacking in natural or human resources nor do they not have the capacity to be viable,those states are not viable simply because most of these governors are irredeemably corrupt, lazy and don't want to think outside the box to generate revenue but simply rely on the FG monthly allocations to manage the state, the allocations which they will eventually embezzle and leave the state underdeveloped, a typical example was the case of Kogi State former governor,now you are talking about Swiss, bro you are going too far, come closer home, now look at Ghana, Rewanda, Kenya and even S/Africa,are they not better than Nigeria now, you see, our problem in this country is leadership failure

[@awofeowolabi2065]

With due respect, I disagree with Dr. Abayomi's assertion that the colonial overlord forced the independence constitution down the throat of the founding fathers. The major problem that continues to plague the country is the continous retention of the provisions of the unification decree that took away the powers of the federating units and handed it to the centre in all subsequent constitutions. The independence and republican constitutions provided for a true federalism by giving each region powers to explore and exploit the resources in their domains. They are to pay an agreed % to the centre. This worked well until weaknesses on the part of the politicians led to the army take over. If we want this nation to grow and prosper, this albatross must be removed. The big question is "who will bell this wild cat?" Will those currently benefitting from the present arrangement allow for this important change? Nigeria needs someone in the mould of Mikhail Goberchev.

Some of you crying over the map, how about when they talk about the 6 geo political zone,you don't argue about it. I reside in Canada and I think most Nigeria should read about the formation of Canada as a federal state. Canada is the second largest country in the world and the only have 13 region, just three of the region covers one third of the country but also with less population.2 off the region is actually the financial power house of the country. So it's not how big a region is, it is your capacity to turn your region into productive and that's where I believe the ss and se have advantages over the rest region. Believe me no matter how we divide it there will still be issues. Let's start thinking of new Nigeria with positive minds instead of the negative mind that Nigeria will not work.

You people have seen how caged Igbo Igbo so that they don't have access out of Nigeria, all the other 7 zones have access to border of Nigeria but they made Igbo not to have such. We have been dealt too mu h Nigeria, i feel very bad being. Nigeria, everything they are doing to Igbo are so obvious to everyone to see it.

The six geographical regions are just perfect, and there is no need for 8 regions. Nobody is complaining. However, any tribe that believes they should be moved to another region should be allowed to leave. That's where people's imput comes in. All nationalities have to sit together and agree on modality.

@@johnny2880Yaribas always think that they are clever,all they are trying to do here is to stylishly recover Kwara and some other yariba communities that have been caved into the north and at the same time reduce the old eastern region and equally make the Igbos insignificant in the equation.

Yoruba man with their jibiti map, Yoruba has 3 western nonsense, Eastern only 1 with tiny space😅 Igbos in Edo,Kogi,Benue,Crossrivers,Bayelsa must rejoin their people. Anioma, Ukwuani, Onicha ugbo,Ika, Igbanke, Isele Ukwu,Umunede…,must join their people in the East. When this is achieved then ,If you are serious about boundaries, map and regions, it should be Northern, western, Eastern, southern and Middle belt regions.

You need the ethnic nationalities to delibrate and decide on how many regions and to what regions they should belong. This your draft region is worse than the state creation. All ethnic nationalities must be continuously related to their kit and kin in the same region. So you either return to the former 1963 regions with the 1963 constitution or you're nust doing some Tinubu jamboree

[@slaw7263]

Agreed, but why did they want to carve out part of Imo into other region is it because of the gas, just the way they they did to the igbos after the civil war. Why not proposed that we the people of anioma should join the SE. I dont have problem Kwara or any speaking Yoruba joining SW, but the problem is the hypocrisy in the intention of the bill against SE. Please read the bill before you response and answer one question if is the other way round whether the SW will accept it. Why keep fightingpeople who are not fighting. ?

Is it a coincidence that Tinubu proposed regionalism and this man comes up with a new constitution talking about same regionalism?

[@IzuchukwuEleme]

The map in your bill is totally biased. If you can split the yoruba speaking people into the Southwest( yoruba) region, why didn't you adjust boundaries of the Igbo speaking people in Delta, Kogi, Benue, Rivers, Akwa ibom etc into the so-called Sountheast(Igbo speaking) region. Why make the same mistakes and delibrate splitting of the Igbo people made by Gowon and colonial masters without enquiring from the people through their public opinion

The current Constitution is of no civil values at all. It is purely military by every shred of the fabrics I will argue and which in my mind is utterly wrong in the sense that we are no longer in the military Era. The Constitution should have been immediately changed soon as the Military Regime ended to be in compliance with the laid down principles of Civilian Administration. We have to possess such Constitution which will gesture glaringly our Democratic ideology , Views and of course opinions in a civil manner at all times.. New Constitution in its true gesture should be such that will disallow random Coup d 'e tat which has always taken our Country 100 steps backward. To do that we have to give Power back to the Obas as it is done in the UK or Great Britain. By this way we will be able to effectively subjugate the Coup d ' e tat Aspirants once and for all.

[@obiokocha8956]

Nigeria should strive to be a constitutional republic. Equal representation of all the states, hence, people. The government must be divided into 3 parts; executive, legislative, and judiciary. This will ensure that no group or individual has too much power. States should be reduced to groups with similar interests and identity. We don't need 100 Supreme Court judges or too many senators or Legislators. This will save the federal government lots of money. Etc, etc.

[@johnachonwa2026]

The regional divisions is the problem of the bill. If the bill will solve the problem of the country, it should be based on equity and possibly language calibration. You cannot solve the problem in some regions and create problems in other regions. The south east should be caved out based on their language and stop all the breaking the Igbos in pieces and causing more problems
