OPINION: The Truth About Rejection Of Restructuring By The Senate

As written by Chukwuemeka Umeokonkwo

Now, Nigerians understood it clearly that restructuring was a hoax, a distraction, a resort for those who felt wounded by the loud and unflinching call for dissembling this contraption via referendum.

Unsettled by the rapt attention given to the, Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) crusaders by Nigerians and the world, the dinghy politicians and oppressors convened exigently and birthed this mantra, which aim was to split us further pending its eventual demise in the Nigeria Red and Green Chambers, National Assembly. One thing has to be made crystal clear here the call for "RESTRUCTURING" was never true.

It was just a ploy to divide the IPOB household, but seeing that it had hit the rock it had to be retracted lest the people think they were serious.

Do you see why politics in an oppressive enclave like Nigeria will continue to keep Nigeria in the cesspool of underdevelopment? Every right-thinking occupant of Nigeria knows that anyone canvassing for the sustenance of the spooky "ONE NIGERIA" does not mean well for us, since this so-called nation is in tatters, with no solution to her hydra-headed quagmire in sight.

It is no news that the bill seeking autonomy of state/regions was killed at the Senate on July 26, 2017. As a matter of fact, I think its quick death is the baptism needed to make our people down Southern Nigeria pay attention to the voice of wisdom. The Niger Delta region, is peopled by very gullible humans people who are ready to clutch at anything in their bid to fatten their purse.

Why would anyone be shocked at the outcome of Senate Plenary Session?
What happened to the bill seeking recompense for the South-East through South-East Development Commision? Furthermore, what happened to the bill seeking the,
 "RELOCATION OF OIL COMPANY HEADQUARTERS TO REGIONS FROM WHICH THEY GET THEIR RAW MATERIALS? "

If the National Assembly killed the aforementioned bills, then someone should tell me what structural change has taken place in the Senate that made us to expect a different result. Nigeria, it has often been said,was fabricated as a gift to the North.
Nigeria is of the North by origin, governed by the North, and for the North.

Democracy becomes "UNDEMOCRATIC" when a non-northerner becomes the Commander-in-Chief; but even "DICTATORSHIP" becomes the best "DEMOCRACY" as long as a northerner sits in Aso-Rock,Villa. Abuja.
