I advice all the southerners in the north to be very careful and vigilant during the forth coming election. This is an advice from someone who was in Kano after the 2011 elections.

Later you will start blaming govt. that you are poor and cant eat, now you have an opportunity to use that small 100mb data that you have managed to get to make research and better your life , see what you have wasted it to type? is GEJ also the cause of your inability to reason normally?

WhiteTechnology:



Haba

Who told you they can't finance state police

Have you heard of hisbah = Islamic police


Hisbah was established in the North to implement sharia law.

How are those guys paid.

darediamond:
When Ebola hit Nigeria, who took it up before the President?
Fashola did. If he had shown I do not care atitude, primarily waiting for GEJ to taake it up being the Pres., what would have been the fate of current Nigerians now?
Your leaders baked Boko-Horam and delibrately start serving it even before GEJ was enthrowned.
They called the B.H guys "our sons".
They keep on fooling themselves that we South Westerners will support them in there state of Madness and acute Dumpness killing there own people in other to show hatred or berate someone.
We Yorubas are Sensible and Highly sophitiscated. So so smart that we will Never
and I repeat, we will Never use Sharia to govern any of our States as it will backfire because we are Rice and Beans here.

Ogbeni, you are in for a "Long thing" as D'Banj would say.
The "Olodo" of Yoruba land practically equates the Prof in Hausa land.

Northerners should not vote for PDP because a southerner is the flag bearer? One Nigeria indeed

Hisbah is not a proper police force....they cannot fight armed robbers (they would be wiped out in a confrontation with them), they cannot investigate crimes, they have no ability to carry out forensic investigations of crime scenes, they cannot investigate financial crime,embark on anti-riot activities, and so on...that the real police can do.

They merely exist as an enforcement group....and even then they are limited to enforcing some (not all) of the Sharia codes). They cannot carry arms in enforcing their duties.

Getting a state police would require investment way beyond that for the Hisbah group. Especially in the areas of equipment and salaries.

And training facilities, and labs, etc.

State police costs a lot of money. Unless you want a poorly armed state police that would be overwhelmed by armed robbers.....or you want to pay taxes in excess of 50% of your annual income....forget state police. Until the GDP is big enough to sustain it.

P.S: Saudi Arabia has a similar group(can't recall their name). They enforce moral codes....but if they saw a crime in progress....they would call the Saudi Police...like every other Saudi.

papiforreal:



you are smart indeed.. i dont want turn this to tribal fight. but, where were yoruba people intelligence when the hausas turned them to followers?

WhiteTechnology:



A well equipped state police force of between 1000 - 5 000 strong is possible for Northern states.

They opposed state police because

1) they feared secession

2) they felt federal police will be reduced leading to loss of benefits since they controlled the federal police.



My friend is not about money but those points stated above.

Heroesglobal:
My brother ask them oo, How our own people are joining hands castigating our own that is in power, have u ever seen a northerner rubishing his brother this way? Calling our Elected president an Empty vessel, When they were in power anything they do is correct, they Cornered our Our oil wells nd sold nd nobody said anything, these same people are still holding the ownership of about 80% of our natural oil wells yet Southerners are not talking, being blindfolded nd join fools in fraustrating their brother in power, I pity una nd the day will soon break nd you're eyes will soon open, Ojukwu saw all this in time but others were sleeping, now everything is infolding yet they're still blind, I pray God will open you GEJ enemy's eyes especially our fellow southerners

bushdoc9919:


You still need training facilities, forensic labs, good weapons , good vehicles, communication equipment.....etc.....so that you have a good state police....and not a state version of the current Nigeria Police.

Plus.....many northern states get the occasional tribal violence and religious violence....and in cases like this....what prevents the state police from taking sides (That's a big part of the reason why the 1966 pogrom got out of hand...).

But the main reason is cost. Please.....I don't think state police is a bad idea....I think that it is too costly for states to afford.....unless people pay heavy taxes.(Which you Nigerians don't like paying).

Police is a big investment. And Nigeria does not have the GDP to sustain it.

So fun seeing people conveniently twisting and misinterpreting the words of some deputy Governor, even more great that the only comment which pointed out how they are misinterpreting (intentionally of course) was hidden by a Moderator and I'm gonna go guess he was also banned huh

I mean can you believe the audacity of this pathetic lowlife scums ! Your masters in the PDP spend how much exactly on their media war against APC calling it a 'Islamic/Northern' party and you see absolutely nothing wrong with but you actually celebrate it. And now because someone said ' Any northerner that votes PDP after their failure to secure the NORTH from BH is a disgrace' you actually wanna spin this and use it as another attack against APC? Well go ahead then lets see just how that works out for you.


Just a reminder your beloved PDP has used way more devious tactics than this to attack the APC, That worked out so well for them huh?

My brother please bear in mind this is not a school debate, and no one here (i believe) is walking away with any prices. Therefore lets tell ourselves the truth. Are you saying there is nothing scary about a political leader opening canvassing for votes on the bases of ethnicity? Arent you scared this whole 'change' mantra is just a drive for the North to return to power.

If it truthfully does not bother you thats fine. However, it bothers me very much.

Pathetic!

zik4ever:
Borno State deputy governor, Alhaji Zannah Umar Mustapha has said that no northerner in his or her right senses would vote for PDP in the 2015 general elections owing to what he described as the party’s inability to demonstrate good leadership in the country.
According to him, the Jonathan led PDP government was nothing but an empty vessel, which cannot give Nigeria the needed leadership, particularly at a time when the nation was facing serious insecurity challenges.
The deputy governor, who was speaking on Monday, at the Maiduguri Government House during the distribution of vehicles to supporters of the All Progressive Congress, APC, also told the gathering that if the Jonathan led government and the Nigerian military could not retake local government areas in Borno state, which were currently under the control of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, the Borno state government would mobilize youths and necessary equipments to win those local government over from the insurgents.
“Any northerner who votes for PDP in the next round of election is not supposed to be called a northerner because such a person is a disgrace to the north. We would do everything within our power as government to ensure we retake local government areas under the control of insurgents since the military and the Federal government has failed to do so”, the deputy governor said.

dachpee:
You people have started again, mind your statements, you will shoot yourself again, northerners, who do you people tamed northerners? Middle belters, South south, south east, south west all yarns for GEJ, if Buari can beg APC delegates to vote for him I think he's not a credible candidate, APC get a credible candidate and win election

Trut:


It got worst because the Northerners didn't corporate with GEJ govt.

babestella:
The northerners and APC gradually telling us we are not one. After all, their monkey and baboon general once said that muslims should not vote for a Christian president, they should vote for Muslim president because they (the muslims) are more in number, victory is theirs.

That is the mates APC is banking on, and come 2015, we will see how that plays out.
