The Hausa-Fulanis have never seen themselves as Nigerians, they only claim to be part of Nigeria because of their clinging to power.

The problem here is true FEDERALISM. If all the states are autonomous and state governors develop their states and there is NOTHING LIKE FAAC allocation, we will see how states develop. It will also mean that all Federal agencies will REMAIN in Abuja and can corporate with their state-managed establishments. So instead of us fighting for President to develop Ondo or Calabar or Zamfara, each state governor is tasked with getting their states to work. Also, the mineral resources will be owed by the states and they should do what they can do to improve their state with it. RESTRUCTURE THIS COUNTRY!

This is the reason why 60years on after independence we are still where we are. Please leave Nigeria alone to grow. Stop holding us back. Use this energy to develop the North and bring it to meet development in other parts of Nigeria. The Northern people have been in government for so long. What did they do for the Country.

I am particularly disturbed with so many Brouhaha about the movement of a section of CBN to Lagos and FAAN not Ministry of finance not Ministry of Aviation. My trouble is how this movement will translate to North under-development . The main idea of Capital of Nigeria moving from Lagos to Abuja was not intended to underdeveloped a certain region nor is it meant to develop a region. It was not meant to advantage a particular region over other region. But for administration convenience, for proper and equitable accessibility by Nigerians and on security to move the head administration to centre of Nigeria rather the littoral state. I feel discussing as if the policy of the movement is against Northern region tells there is more to the two units being retained here in the north . Anyway am not sure if the Senate or house of representatives has the legislative power to stop the movement as it is a executive decision..just like Buhari move the headquarters of Nigeria armed forces to Borno to enhance effectiveness in tackling insecurity in the northeast of Nigeria

Most Nigerians northern or southern have never taken a flight in their lives. I think its laughable to think they care about the issue of moving some aviation ministry to Lagos. Ppl only care about this to the extent that some politicians have told them to care so they can point at someone and say those ppl trying to take power away from you. The typical way politics is done in Nigeria. Shift blame to someone else so they don't ask you what you have done to make things better. I am sure there are ppl with genuine disagreement to the policy but he didn't make that argument. He kept saying they are taking this and that from the north. The same group that kept quiet when Buhari was running riot over the country. This our naija sef.

Which place in Europe? The US runs a different kind of government. Each state has a senate and house. Each state has their own Fed (what we call CBN). Each state is a full country on its own. It is not the same in other countries in Europe where they run parliamentary system of government.

I have actually thought of having multiple capital cities of Nigeria like it is in South Africa. Judicial to Lagos or Ibadan, Legislature to Enugu or Owerri and Executive in Abuja. CBN to Kano/Kaduna and NNPC to Rivers State. In America, not all agencies and departments of government are headquartered in Washington DC.
