If the North believes in the oneness of Nigeria then they should be prepared to show by thier actions and speeches that all Nigerians are stakeholders of PROJECT NIGERIA and by attempting to Lord it over other zones.
Secondly, the North must allow for unfettered True Federalism and stop forthwith the crass nepotism that is the hallmark of the Buhari's istration, without a proper and holistic approach to the issues that germane to National Integration the country will collapse.

Meeting of the unity beggars... Once again we are not one, our staying together is fundamentally questionable, this is why the issue of unity always comes up.

We need a new "Nigeria". It can be a Nigeria as one country or as small regions altogether, but what really matters is that we must change this set of people ruling Nigeria. They are not intelligent, they have no career outside being politicians, they never take blames & they divide the people using tribal & religious sentiments, they are both in PDP & APC mostly.
If we want a new Nigeria we must go for someone who already has a successful career outside politics, who is an industrialist & a leader.
God, help get the right person come 2023. Amen

They didn't talk about restructuring
They should get there eyes of social media to avoid triggering another protest that will lead to an unquenchable unrest.
They should get to work and stop all these committee setup meetings.
