PLAIN TRUTH

Nigeria'll continue to sink without adopting the American spirits of provincial liberty & local self-government.

The current ruling elite in Abuja mouth Restructuring, cede more powers to States, zilch. State Govs mouth Restructuring, cede powers to LGAs, hell no.

Following the series of recent meetings @MBuhari's Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari had with leaders of Nigeria's 6 geo-political zones, @GovWike of Rivers State says Buhari 'll burn Nigeria if he fails to Restructure Nigeria between now & when he exits on May 29, 2023?

I hate to break it to @GovWike, his colleagues at @NGFSecretariat, Restructuring Nigeria, thus laying a solid foundation for future generations goes beyond Buhari, @NigeriaGov, including @nassnigeria.

Nigeria got 774 LGAs (on paper), right? How many got elected administrations?

@GovWike, his colleagues at the @NGFSecretariat mouth the need for @NigeriaGov to Restructure Nigeria, yet, 774 LGAs across the country are not allowed to be governed by legitimate elected representatives, but by Halleluyah & O Yes Boys called Transition or Caretaker Chairmen.

Laying a solid foundation for Nigeria for the benefits of future generations, urgently, let's begin to discuss:

1. The over centralization of power in Abuja
2. Localism
3. Federalism
4. Resource Control
5. Central Database System
6. Birth Records System
7. Death Records System

8. Marriage Records System
9. Compulsory Decennial Census
10. Taxation
11. Road/Rail Infrastructure
12. House Numbering System
13. Mailing System
14. Decentralised Policing, Prisons & Judicial Systems
15. Decentralised Departments of Motor Vehicles, Licensing System & Road Rules

16. Emergency Toll-free Services to get hold of the @PoliceNG & @Fedfireng
17. Compulsory Auto Insurance
18. Credit Worthiness System
19. Electoral Reforms with Independent Decentralised Electoral Umpires
20. Water System
21. Drainage System
22. Diversified Electricity System

23. Strong Institutions & Institutional Practices
24. Viable & Independent Lawmaking Bicameral Legislature, Veto Wielding Executive & Fearless Judiciary
25. Ideals such as:
- Sanctity of Human Lives
- Justice for all
- Rule of Law
- Republicanism
- Social Equality

25. Ideals such as:
- Egalitarian ideals of Jesus Christ
- No social distinction between public officials and ordinary citizens
- Love for Freedom & Independence
- Spirit of Association & Locality
- Spirit of Individualism & Communalism
26. Separating Religion from the State

END- Tied to the abovementioned, to halt Nigeria's long-term decline since 1962/1963, there is need to drive the seedbeds of civic virtues through:

1. Families
2. Local Communities/Neighborhoods
3. Faith Communities/Religious Institutions
4. Voluntary Civic Organizations, et al.

To drive the above seedbeds of civic virtues, Nigeria urgently needs intellectual & honest leaders with the political will to relaunch what the cerebral late former DG of @NafdacAgency & former Minister @FMICNigeria, Prof. Dora Akunyili set out to achieve in 2008-2010 tagged👇
