This map would solve so many Nigerian crisis, having autonomous regions and not states would make Nigeria a better place. What you make is what you keep unlike what we have now that has turned some parts not Nigeria lazy

na here wahala go expand..
you think only hausa and Fulani or tiv are the only tribes in most regions as you analyze.

you see Nigerians especially minority tribes, they can complain of marginalization.

Not when each region is divided into Provence where each minority can from a province as long as they can meet up with the required financial requirements ...

Each proven handle your resources pay 30% to region , region collects that and pay 40% to federal ...region has police , but province has it's loca sharif's , handles basic education ,primary health care , roads ,

Region handles electricity , universities , general hospitals , research institutions ,

We can work it out

Nice, except that Ijaw doesn't own PH.

No. We need to remember how Nigeria came to be, a merging btwn. Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria. So, North and South need to have an equal number of units. I suggest three in the North (NE, NW, and NC) and 3 in the South (SW, SE, and midwest/bendel)

Not Bad.


modified: the mixed region cannot be discontinuous.

States are better than regions; however the problem is that Liberal Democratic model adopted by much of the third world from the West is unsuitable for third worlds’ relatively unsophisticated masses preoccupied by Tribe. We need to tinker with the democratic precepts in order to arrive at a workable hybrid. Nigeria needs a central government run by a board of presidents not president. A board of presidents would enable wider tribal representation at the centre of government. I propose a new philosophy called Liberal Democratic Co operations or Democrat LTD - in any case - a sort of democracy along the lines of a business company. We keep the current states but we’ll no longer have an overriding National presidential election. We vote for our president locally i.e. the presidential candidate will be a local man or woman. We still keep the political parties. These political parties will compete for votes at the state level. Each party will field two candidates, Central and State presidential candidates. The candidate who runs on Central presidential ticket will – if he wins – represent the state at the federal level as one of the presidents on the Board of Presidents. The candidate that runs on the state ticket if he wins represents the party as a state governor.

In such a dispensation, majority of tribes will be satisfied that they have a president and we can all rest. There’ll be no more of these primitive wailing and gnashing of teeth about what tribe did this and what tribe didn’t do that. At least, the chances of such would be greatly diminished.


Problem with democracy in Africa or any current form of government has always been to do with tribalism. Tribal outlook. We all need to accept this shameful fact and stop deceiving ourselves.

Did it ever occur to you that what you call "Tribe" in Nigeria, is what they call "Nation" in Europe? What you call tribalism is what they call nationalism.

Germans, English, Croats, Serbs, etc. These are tribal nations many of who are not more populated than any of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba who are basically distinct nations with divergent views forced into a dysfunctional colonial entity together with other independent nations we call minorities.
The Ibibio is as big as Croats in population, but Croatia has an independent nation of their own while shortsighted people like you insist on Ibibio being in a dysfunctional colonial entity cobbled together by the British solely for exploitation of the constituents rather than being an independent country of their own.

As small as Czechoslovakia was. Just a country of two tribes, namely: Czech and Slovakia, they couldn't reconcile their differences and like reasonable people decided to separate and pursue their goals as independent nations.
But men like you keep preaching on unworkable Union for a colonial concoction that has failed to work for 60yrs plus.

What exactly is wrong with the black man?

Bros this your suggestion na dead on arrival. Make the owners divide this piece of land wey them call naija so that everybody go dey aiit

How come your itsekiri that doesn't own a single local government area in Delta state is having such a large chunk of land in your map?

If we should adopt this idea, some restructuring can be done to repair that

Wild dreams

Nice map but while not create Hausa separate, Fulani separate to make everything balanced?
