These are linked to national unity, local autonomy and self-determination, equitable distribution of revenue, rewards, opportunities and power. They also include the observation and implementation of fundamental human rights, among which are the rights of franchise and empowerment, and socio-economic rights to basic needs’ satisfaction, sustainable environment and life (Anifowose and Seteolu, 2004:45) Key words: Federalism, Integration, Marginalization, South-South, and Nigerian politics
