is u.s.a Democracy different from our own? when bomb blast Boston Republican govt give Obama idea on how to capture the culprit the people of the country blame state govt for not putting much security in place doing the marathon but in Nigeria democracy when bomb blast in kano APC accuse Jonathan ,governor of the same state accuse Jonathan ,even mass accuse Jonathan is this how Democratic govt have to be? why should APC in there own state accuse President nawaoo in USA Republican state will like to show outstanding in every affair so that people will believe in them even voting for them .but what is work of state government? I thought they were elected can't they protect those that elect them? what is work of President in Democratic nation? are they not the one that support the state when situation is going out of hand? why is obiano first focus is to protect the life of people who vote for him and that attract much investors . in USA President always focus on threat between foreign countries and support state if there is any internal security chalange in abs news they accuse new York state govt for not putting Ebola team in alert in Nigeria APC accuse President gej for not putting facility in place? is this how democracy suppose to be ? |

emmanuel4758: In USA each state has the right to a militia and each state has its own police department and its included in their constituition, but in Nigeria the federal Government is incharge of both the police, Army and paramilitary formations......It kind of make sense to blame the Federal Govt and not the state govt for any lapses in security |

Good. Let them define Democracy for us and relate it to Growth, Progress and Unity of the Nation. In the US, the President always gives an overview of the US account in his State of the Union address. When OBJ tried something similar to give a boost to practical democracy, NASS, JUDICIARY, SPEAKERS and SENATORS were confused and did not know how to accommodate such development and so the very good experiment failed 'cos of ignorance and opposition. |

podosci:in our constitution a governor have legal right to secure his state with federal police governor can create his own security men as obiano is doing now ,governor is voted to protect interest of people in the state if governor can't secure his state why was he being elected at the first place?in many governor mandate like governor of Kaduna he said vote for me I will provide security to the state what does that mean ?in IMO rochas said the same in anambra obiano said security is first thing he will do if he won he will secure the live and property of the people so what are you talking about |

emmanuel4758: Nigeria is a foolish country . True federalism is not being practiced here, States are suppose to be independent of the federal government apart from issues of National security and foreign affairs but in Nigeria the state Government depend on the Federal government for everything . The powers of the state Government interms of security is limited to the Effectiveness of the federal government. Even in the USA matters of Terrorism are handled by the Federal Government, if a bomb goes off in Newyork, The NYPD would work in conjunction with the FBI and homeland security but the Federal Agencies would take the lead in the investigation. IN NIGERIA we don't have Kaduna police department or Borno Police department not even Imo police department, rather we have Nigerian Police Force under the mandate of the federal Government, Therefor any issue of security falls back to the office of the Inspector General of police, Director of SSS, Chief of Army staff all under the federal Government, The federal Government headed by the President who is the Commander in Chief............Before you reply let me ask you, Can Gov. Rochas remove the IG of police?, if he cant, then how can he alone without the Intervention of the Federal Govt ensure the safety of life and security in his state. Forget all those nonsense campaign promises,We know politicians make nonsense campaign promises to entice stupid Nigerians to vote for them |

podosci:if I may ask why obiano is using his own created force in anambra ,if this is illegal senate would have sanction him for failing the constitution ,why is it in every governor manifesto that security is first priority are they crazy knowing is federal work still put it there,why did oshomole use his own force combined with federal police to give his people maximum security and this is APC state?why did akpabio said security can never be his state challenge cus every of it force is well trained his force is not police but they are working with international ally for training ?why would you elect a governor?why is local. govt use police in. every of it affair etc a local govt can deploy police to any location within it region but why do we brain federal govt is fed and state not elected by us?why. did we put all blame on far govt instead of our. grass root govt ? |

emmanuel4758: The foolish senators and House of rep don't even know the constitution. We elect idiots who are guilty of criminal offences and expect them to take their time to sanction defaulters of the constitution.When Farouk collected bribe, what did the senate do? When $20bn went missing in the NNPC, what did the senators do?, when govt illigaly trafficd money to buy arms in south-Africa, what did the senate do?. The Nigerian constitution did not make provision for state police, The matter of state police is still under debate but has not been concluded upon. The federal Govt is still incharge of the Police force. okay let me go with u and make a preposterous assumption that The states can have their own security force, even if that's possible, issues like terrorism and bomb explosion fall under the Jurisdiction of Federal Govt agencies because they affect National security. |
