Right from the beginning, the military: 6 majors nzegwu + co & 1 major general/ ironsi militarized and unitarised Nigeria.Then came Gowon, Murtala, Obasanjo, Buhari, Abacha, Babangida, who bastardized Nigeria with 12, 19, 36 etc states and 774 LGAs. Then Politicians came back with backyard constituencies and almagiri schools and overnight public and private universities. Now that things have fallen apart, no centres can hold. Let all above age 70yr be retired and silenced especially the ex military, ex judiciary, ex legislators, ex executives. The politicians need JAMB exam approval but with limit 200+ / 400! NOT 120+/400.
