NIGERIA: THE WAY FORWARD. THE PRESENT NIGERIAN FEDERATION IS FLAWED. THE FIRST THAT READILY COME TO MIND IS POPULATION CENSUS AS BASIS OF NUMBER OF LOCAL GOVT AREAS. ONE FALLACY EQUATES LAND MASS WITH POPULATION! SUDAN IS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE DITTO CHAD, NIGER REPUBLIC AND MALI WHERE LAND MASS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF POPULATION! EXCEPT A GENUINE POPULATION IS CONDUCTED WE MAY WELL BE SITTING ON A KEG OF GUN POWDER. HENCE THE PREPONDERANCE OF LOCAL GOVT IN THE NORTH IS BASED ON FALSE PREMISE. TOO MUCH POWER IS CONCENTRATED IN THE CENTRE AT THE EXPENCE OF THE STATES. REVENUE ALLOCATION SHOULD BE ON THE BASIS OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO ENABLE STATES BE STRONG. STATE POLICE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. HAVING ONE IG FOR THE ENTIRE NATION IS A MISNOMER. THERE SHOULD BE MORE REGIONAL INTEGRATION. HOWEVER STATES WHO WANT TO BREAK AWAY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO IF WE CANNOT LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE. DIVISIVE POLICIES LIKE QUOTA SYSTEM MUST BE SCRAPPED. A CHILD FROM ABIA STATE SCORES 138 IN UNITY SCH YET DENIED ADMISSION. WHEREAS GIVES ADMISSION TO ANOTHER CHILD FROM YOBE WHO SCORES 2 IS IMMORAL. WE MUST BE SEEN TO ENCOURAGE EXCELLENCE NOT INDOLENCE!
