A rogue constitution can only produce rogues to operate it. A constitution that is underpinned by sharing mentality would produce sharers and would be better operated by them.

The current Nigeria constitution is a sharing constitution. Those that would like to build may not fit-in well operating it. How the writer could not decipher this simple nexus is quite strange.

The idea of parliamentary or presidential is an aberration. Let the people discuss and agree on what will work for them. It could be a modification of the popular presidential or parliamentary system but let the people agree on it themselves.

A constitution underpinned by production is what Nigeria needs

To make matters worse, most powers are concentrated at the federal government, with the states & LGAs being only powerless appendages. However, Femi Falana & Simon Kolawole would applaud it if state governors go out of their way to construct airports. But they will not want it formalized in the constitution. They will not want power to construct airports formally devolved to the states in the constitution.

To add to the problem, the distribution in number of states & LGAs (which are merely avenues for sharing of resources) are so lopsided to the point of inhumanity.

Unfortunately, why some northerners acknowledge it & offer solutions on how to address the lopsidedness & the defection generally ( https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/07/10/towards-restructuring-of-nigeria/ , https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/12/17/jega-nigerias-presidential-system-very-defective-restructuring-critical-before-2027/ , https://content.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2020/10/11/heeding-attahiru-jegas-constitutional-counsel/ ), Yorubas are still insisting on the status quo! & In spite of your desperation, nigeria will neither develop nor will there be peace or progress. In 2020 when a northern Think Tank advocated a return to 12 state structure, it was Toyin Falola (Premium Times) & Olu Fasan (Vanguard) who argued against it while the rest of the Ronu clan began ratcheting up the drum of restructuring alongside the status quo – in a bid to drown the unexpected northern call!

To begin with, each time the conferences organized in the past failed, it had the imprimatur and active collaboration of the Ronu clan. In 2005 they rejected just 25% derivation for oil producing communities during Obasanjo's National Political Reform Conference. In 2014 they allied with the north to ensure the failure of the National Conference. In 1966 they played a major role in truncating Aburi agreement. So, the practice is to frustrate restructuring at every turn only to turn around at every turn to use the failure as a reason to fight a new quest for restructuring!
