state governors could use them against national officers...their will be constant clash...with the kind of governors we have....am not so sure!!...imagive give someone like fayose to choose his own police..I fear what will happen

I can see you have problem with fayose, with wat he did with Fulani herdsmen where governor of Edo state was even against his people. To the topic I Dont think we need state police yet most states won't be able to pay policemen yet maybe when the country is financially alright we can think of that

Prof Vice President is advocating for state police so as to strengthen and increase the extortion might of his counterpart in Lagos State. Lasma N100,000 fine for common obstruction, VIO N120,000 fine for common vehicle license violation and series of absurd fines on flimsy offenses in Lagos is not sufficient for their extortion, now they are advocating for state police so they can easily deprive every common masses of their fundamental human right all in the name of achieving a mega city.

Good idea. Seems Baba wants to give Nigerians one of the things they've always asked for. But I fear our politicians aren't mature enough for this yet- we might see governors turn Emperors overnight.

Imagine if the Okada Association Chaiman alias ponmo cutter had his own gun wielding police.

Nigeria is too ethnically divided for that. We are not ripe or mentally/psychologically advanced enough for this.

Rivers State Police will shoot any hausa man and a Lagos State Police Officer will shoot any Ijaw man he finds. Profiling will be based on ethnic and tribal lines. Even the U.S is divided against racial lines, not to talk of Nigeria where ethnicity is superimposed on merit.

Can or Will any of the State Police employ Nigerians from other tribes, ethnic groups and States? It is like arming ethnic militias. Various tribes in the state will push their kinsmen to join their State Police and arm up against other tribes in the same State.

This is my opinion.

Who will pay them? The state wey no fit pay salaries just yet go come dey wan pay more people. It is well sha.

[b]slimfit; 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.... you forgot POWER GENERATION
