A major general took a decision that will affect security, I think he knows better than many people who cry here. The soldiers should stop harrasing the civilians they see on the road. They should go to their camps and strategize better on how to stop book haram, oil vandals, and other more security challenges. The road block should be left to the police. Simple!!!
Baba!!! Weldone jare

Where did we wrong President Muhammadu Buhari?

By voting for CHANGI

MizMyColi:
Wrong Move.
How empowered are these policemen?

Mr President should be aware that the masses feel a better aura of protection when the military is around.
There is a deeply entrenched psychological norm that you do not mess with the military.

Is he trying to prove to us that he has nothing to do with the military anymore, and as such allaying our fears that he is out to militarize Nigeria?
Mr President ought to be reminded of the decay in the institution called the Nigerian Police Force.
A people who are not co-ordinated enough to build better living conditions in their barracks?

I do not support this move.
These policemen will exchange our lives with 50 naira stipends.
It's a big NO!.....imho

Thank you.

Funny as it may sound, my brother you are correct

barcanista:
How many military check points do you know pre BH war?

Military incursion in internal security has been a norm since a long time ago. Most state governors even use them to beef up the police through joint taskforce.

Do we need military on Nigeria roads even when the police is constitutionally empowered to do so ?

Finally, I think this should have happened long ago. However, I do not feel the police are adequately funded, trained and equipped to handle the job of securing the lives and property of Nigerians. Also they need to be purged of the bad eggs more like 60% of them. In any case good move.

And Nigeria is a developed country!

This baboon has run outta his cage again. I always knew your brain has been transferred from your head via Bluetooth.

jamesharryson:

I am a Buharist to the core but I won't support this development!

Lol! Motorists will go on strike soon to protest the new development!!!
How can he tie goat very close to the Yam
No Nigerian trusts those Men in blacks!!!

When I visited Northern Nigeria, so many military road blocks scared me. So boring to drive from one state to another. What irks me much was that the military personnel do not check vehicles but keep on collecting money from motorist especially commercial vehicles. I then asked myself what is the essence of keeping people hours waiting and allowing them go without searching what they carry?

Kudos to Mr President. An excellent relief to northerners. Really, CHANGE has come!

How many times have you seen the military doing the work of the police in developed countries ? The fact that it has become the norm over time doesn't make it an acceptable standard. Just admit it was a wise decision and stop tripping.

Is nigeria a developed country??

Shut up

This is the change they voted for. Una don hear am


I said it that this old man has nothing to offer. This is 2015 and not 1984 for goodness sake.

Like someone said , hope it is applicable to Daura?

buygala:
I am no expert on security issues, but this doesn't look good from whatever standpoint I choose to look at it

Dis one is different from gateman (security ) job oooo,so pls go back to your oga's house and give him security advice.. idiot

Is nigeria a developed country??

Is South Africa a developed country ? Is China a developed country ? Is Abu Dhabi a developed country ?

Now tell me if these country even have military checkpoints talk less of deploying soldiers to mount them. The fact that Nigeria has done it for years doesn't make it right.

you are the demented one here. The police is in charge of internal security. End of story.

it's you that is going mad, leave Baba out of your madness jare.

The constitution is meant to protect you. If the constitution turns around to put you at security risk, then it should be reviewed.

is d constitution that makes d police inefficient and corrupt, if d constitution is wrong by putting us in security risk, why then,did we need d police, we should discard d police and stop paying them for inefficiency, on a more serious note, are we even safe under millitary control of internal security?

otijah:
yeah so that Boko Haram can easily gain access into south east and south south including the rest of the country.
We are finished

[size=14pt]......No!....it's you dat is finished!?........[/size]

Ah baba u dey use plane and private jet...u dnt knw wot we are passing through in a distance journey...and how my confidence is boosted when I see a military check point... U never even start to pay the unemployed 5k and ur taking this decision... Barcanista...Am waiting!

This Daura President is becoming more clueless and confused by the day.

barcanista:
Buhari don come o



Mogidi ecoterrors Make una come see o

donholy28:
Clearly this man is not thinking of our safety.

He is more security conscious than you, I guess. A former General in Nigerian Army who went to trainings all over the world Knows far far better than ordinary school teacher or car vendor. Police should be given chance to exercise their civic duties. Military should be taken away from the public except during chaos. God bless Nigeria.

we only pray and hope it's the right decision.

May be baba ve put him boys in oder, therefore no military checking point is needed, I know that those recent bombing are for cover up not to suspect baba, but I knw dat the blood of all innocent ppl will fight dis men

Eyah! So no more cheque points for these 50 naira loving soldiers. Hope some of them won't go into armed robbery after a week of no extortion from bus drivers. Even though I hate the nigerian army and it's men I must say this is a wrong move,BH will move to their strike points without anyone intercepting them.

Look bro, constitution said police should protect you. Experience has shown they can't protect you in war time like this.


Do you stick with constitution or go with experience?

Nigeria beside the NE is not a war zone. Why should it be heavily militarized ?

You're right my brother but I tell you some parts of Nigeria are as unsafe as northeast.

How many killings perpetrated by 'Fulani' have you heard being reported from north central and some parts of Taraba. Scanty or none. Because people only talk about northeast.

But I tell you the killings are going on and some have to leave their homes. Can our police manage that level of crisis?
The withdrawal should be gradual not abruptly.

IG of police food don come for boys o,heavy returns on your way sir

Are ur police up-to-date in tacking crime pn d high way?? How often do u hear of robberies on d highway?

ajebuter:
Army that is better trained and armed should vacate danger zones in nigeria including Borno, adamawa, Yobe and Bauch, abi?

And who takes over? Corrupt, ill eqquipped and ill-trained police abi?

Why? So BH guys and fulani killers can commit crimes and go unnchecked?

Ok oh, police wives, hold the government responsible for your widowhood if that happens.
APC, onechance!

, stop this! he is not asking them to leave the NE... for heaven sake he has moved the Military Command there. jeez use your brain first before commenting

Bros dis is nigeria not US

Jorussia:
.In a Democratic system of government, Its the police,that is empowered by law,to be solely in charge of internal security, the military is only called in,in a very serious security emergency. However, in our own case,the military has virtually taking over the functions of the police and this not a good development in our nascent democracy. This recent order by Mr.president, is a good development, but i believe that it will be best,if the withdrawal of our military personnel is done gradually because of the current ill equipped State of our police force. If our police is well funded,and equipped, there will not be any internal security challenge that won't be able to handle.I was surprised during the unfortunate Boston bombing in the US that it was the police handled the situation, in contrast to ours here where the military will be immediately deployed.
