Create jobs then crime will reduce try that. Give banks money to loan people to start up factories. Look at things that we can produce in this country yet imported and try to see if you can loan some individuals to start up industries.

State police is risky!!!!

Mboi2:

I tell you, very risky. Imagine what will happen to igbos and their property in Lagos with Lagos state police.

What does he know

Mcowubaba:
State police has its pros and cons...
Pros = more employment opportunities and probably effective security system...

Cons = Abuse by State Governments, turning them into bullies, assassin, oppressors and making State Governors to be above the law

SuperS1Panther:
With the mentality of our present crop of politicians and maturity of our democracy, State Police will turn to militias of a sitting Governor.

Instead of State Police, let us have Regional Police.

In fact, let us restructure the country along Regional Geo-Political distribution with fiscal federalism and resource control and we shall see Nigeria blossoming again.

The present structure is unsustainable and wasteful.

obiageIi:

You want to create tribal police?

obiageIi:

Are governors not above the law today? why do you guys place more importance on these politicains over your own security?
The present police structure is not working

PMPhoenix:
Over 50 years and the Nigerian police are still ineffective and everyday national security threats are on the increase, the introduction of the state police system is one move that should've been advocated a long long time ago, we can't keep doing the same thing over and over and be expecting different results

ruggedboy01:
Governors/ tribal bigots will high jack it for their selfish interest, citizens will also suffer for it.
TRUE FEDERALISM IS WHAT WE WANT

herzern:
Is state police the next thing.....let's go back to regionalism...... Each 6 geo-political[ zone has a sovereign power to administer on its territory..... Control her resources.......control its military

let's see if NDA and Fulani herdsmen won't die natural death

Babysho:
The Office of Vice President should be Scrapped!!

Mr Osibaje abi wetin be e name has literally done nothing and he gets paid. Last week, he said restructuring the country will do nothing helpful but because Ambode said State Police is cool...Osibaje too said we should do it.

The problems of this country starts from the Federal Level.

kennygee:
When States cannot pay mere Salaries of lecturers.

YoursGEJ:
I have said this numerous times. The FG that cannot even maintain its own Federal Secretariat has no business maintaining the police force for all 36 states and the FCT. Let the states police themselves. People will stay in states that are safe while those that are unsafe will have to step up their game to draw people and investments.

Right now, states are reluctant to train police officers because those officers might just be transferred after their training and another state will reap the benefits of the training you paid for.
