Nigeria is economically, financially, academically, politically and socially stagnant. This is no joke neither am I seeking to defame my country. 
This is the current situation in Nigeria and this stagnant position is rapidly leading to a retrogressive state. What is the solution to this unenviable position Nigeria has found herself in? The answer is Federalism. 
What is federalism?Federalism is the distribution of power in an organization (as a government) between a central authority and the constituent units. 
A Nigerian might say that Nigeria according to this definition practices federalism but that is completely false. Federalism was pioneered by the first colonists of the United States of America because they wanted their colonies or states to be autonomous and self dependent but they also realised the need for a central government to enhance unity and strengthen the defence and federalism was the answer. 
This system of government ensured that the different state were autonomous in almost all aspects and they controlled their natural resources and generated their own revenue without waiting for monthly allocations from the federal government. 
The federal government was mainly responsible for the military defense of the nation, collecting taxes from the state governments for their federal projects amongst others. Is this obtainable in Nigeria? The answer is a big emphatic no.  
In Nigeria, the federal government has far more power than needed over the state governments and the state governments are far too reliant on the federal government. 
In fact, many states are economically paralysed without the monthly allocations of the federal government and this has increased corruption and made the states so dependent on the federal government. 
This is no federalism at all. The revenues realised from the resources  in each states are then shared among the states.
 This style of government looks more like a socialist government. There is no ounce of federalism in such a system of government and this contributed to Nigeria's current woes. 
If Nigeria's leaders seek the progress of this nation they must then ensure that Nigeria is a federal state. This will ensure that the state government are self dependent, able to cater for their own citizens.
What do you think? I'm eagerly awaiting your comments.

The bonanza is still ongoing. I'm giving 500 copies of my 📖 e-book "God's laws of the reverse" to the first 500 subscribers of this blog. Click that subscribe button now. God bless you. The X-Files is probably my favorite seasonal film of all time. It's filled with mysteries, myths, facts and truths. It is my ideal kind of film. 👍 Thumbs up the creator of the series Chris Carter. As I watched the latest series, season 11 episode 4, I found the theme of that episode very intriguing(I enjoin you to watch it). The episode was all about the Mandela effect. I can't give all the details of that episode so please watch it but that episode was about a certain friend of fox and scully trying to enlighten them about the Mandela effect. What is the Mandela Effect? The Mandela Effect is a collective misremembering of a fact or event by a group of people. That friend of fox and scully said many revealing things but the one that I found very int...

What's Next After Zack Synder's JL

What’s Next After The Zack Synder’s JL By this next year, we should already have had the Justice League movie on HBO max, we’ve all been awaiting.  But after it’s release, what’s the next course of action for the DCEU. There have been a lot of rumors of circulating about a possible Ben Affleck return but it has yet to be confirmed. Henry Cavill's “Man of Steel 2” movie seems to have dissipated into thin air.  Personally, I believe Warner Bros,  should just continue with  their initial slate of possible movie releases which I believe they’re doing right now. Before the mini flop that was Justice League, there were plans to release the following sets of movies which include: • Man of Steel(Grossed more than 600 million dollars) • Batman Vs Superman(grossed more than 800million dollars) • Suicide Squad(though I’m not sure whether it’s part of the DCEU but grossed more than 700 million dollars) • Justice league(grossed more than 600 million) • Wonder Woman(gros...

THE BLACK LIVES MATTER CONSPIRACY

GEORGE SOROS'S TOOL: THE BLACK LIVES MATTER ORGANIZATION This article isn’t meant to be an exhaustive discuss of the black live matters organization but a sign post and motivator  that should point and encourage you to further research the black lives matter movement.  First of all, I believe that black lives and all lives matter. I’m not against the sentiment but I disagree with movement and organization itself. In order for us to understand the sinister motives of the group, let’s briefly study it’s origin.   The Black lives matter movement was founded by three radical leftists named Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi as a hashtag movement on Facebook in 2013 as a result of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Alicia is married to a transgender and identifies as a queer. Patrisse is married to a woman and also identifies as a queer. She is also an Ifa worshipper. I’m Nigerian and as a result I’m knowledgeable about the If...
