#ENDSARS PROTEST AND THE URGENT NEED TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY#

By Oyinbi Onduku

During the weekend, l had an encounter with the king of ljaw high life owigiri music, King. Pereama Freetown (JP), Chief. Julius Fuludu, Prince Samisco Okpe and Comrade Tomone Obed, where l engaged them on the urgent need to restructure Nigeria politically and economically if we really want to continue as one indivisible entity or we disengaged from the British Colonial Master's by force marriage we found ourselves over the past 100 years.

In our crucial interaction, l bring to their notice that, a foremost German Philosopher Karl Max, once said every system has a contradiction and that contradiction will bring the system to an end one day. Today, the interior motive of the Queen of England behind the ceding of 60% of the total Landmass of Nigeria to the Hausa/Fulani Northern Oligarchy to the detriment of the other regions in the country is gradually coming to an end if the ongoing protest of Nigerian youths against bad government is taken for granted.

The problem of Nigeria started in 1900_1914, when the British Colonial Master, the Queen of England divided the entire landmass of Nigeria into South and North, whereby they apportioned 60% of the total Landmass of Nigeria to the Northerners while the whole of South-South, South-West and South-East where given 40%.

That is where the problem of inequality and political imbalance started in Nigeria, whereby the North will always determine who becomes the President of the country at the centre. Whenever the North form an alliance with any region of the country, they will always determine and produce the President of the country.

 

For Nigeria to move forward, the issue of inequality must be first of all properly addressed, whereby one ethnic group will not feel cheated and oppressed by other ethnic group. The nation Nigeria as it is, we cannot move forward neither move backward due to the pre-lndependence political arrangement put in place by the British Colonial Masters. 

The indivisibility of Nigeria can only stand When there is political and economic restructure, whereby we decongest the power at the centre and fall back to regional system to enable each region control her resources and pay tax to the centre government. It is then, we can happily live as one indivisible Nigeria if not, there will be no peace, progress,and even development in the country. 

*Let the #ENDSARS/RESTRUCTURE#NIGERIANOW/BADGOVERNMENT PROTEST CONTINUE... until we go back to roundtable dialogue and put things in order*
