This are not unknown gunmen,this are cultist in edo state

A country with over 300 tribes can not use the 1963 constitution as it is without facing numerous new problems. The southwest which is arguably the most homogeneous region isn't as homogeneous as we think, talk less of the north, south south and even south east. Have ten regions and we will still be hearing cries of marginalization. In my opinion, the best thing is to strengthen the local government and that at the wards so as to bring government and governance closer to the people. Majority of the dividends of democracy can only be enjoyed by majority of the when provided at the local level. Neither federalism or unitary system will work if this isn't taken care of. Let each tribe/ethnic group have a functioning government close to them where they can participate in the governance.

Some stuff we allude to military brutality may fall under PTS.
I still believe looking into the mental health of soldiers would solve most of these issues.

Yobe state don talk say dem dey against state Police, Lagos State dey in support of state police.

I hope there will be room for referendum in this constitution review sha, so any geopolitical region that is tired can start working on leaving Nigeria in a peaceful way.

It will be left for the people of the geopolitical region to vote if they want to still be part of Nigeria or not.

That road is located at Owerri city center and you can clearly see the Imo state shuttle bus in the background.
My brother, let's not get emotional while/when trying to solve a security problem cos it might led to another bigger problem.
The present political atmosphere in this country will make state police to be useless. Imagine what Obiano will use state police to do to his political opponent because of Anambra upcoming election, then reason how El rufai will use state police to intimidate and harass groups in southern kaduna like SOKAPU.

DubaiLandLord1:
I agree with you on stregnthning the LG. I believe we should have a central INEC that will be in charge of conducting every election (presidential election, federal and state assembly election and local government elections). State police, LG police should also be established.

The Tivs wanted a referendum for states to be created in the Northern region, Awolowo wanted the Yorubas in present day Kwara and Kogi to have a referendum to decide if they still want to be in the Northern region or Western region, the minorities in the Eastern region also wanted a state to be created for them.

The politicians messed up things after independence and the military com scatter everything pata pata.

Sizzorkay:
It's all about having checks and balances in place, US has state and local police and no Governor will dare abuse his authority by askithe police to do anythingillegal, if he do that, the Attorney General will launch an investigation and prosecute him.
If we have certain things in place, then no reason why we can't have local and state police.

Faithful007:
Why should experience and seniority be mutually exclusive in the first place? Or is promotion not based on experience any longer?

NafeesaAA:
I want to ask a question.

When a president chooses an officer who is junior to numerous other senior officers for a top position, forcing the seniors into retirement, the senior officers are supposed to receive pension right?

Basically, officers who should be actively serving the nation, are retired in droves into doing nothing, not only denying the country of their contributions, but drawing money from the national purse simply being idle.

And this has been happening for decades.

So we are basically talking about hundreds if not thousands of such officers.

Is this the practice in other countries?

Or is this (sometimes) unnecessary waste peculiar to Nigeria?

TabletMan:
I said present political atmosphere for a reason. Nigeria is very bad presently because our political class always find a way to utilize power/authority to favour them.
What of salaries, promotion and recruitment?
How about pensions and gratituty?
I think it's good to just strengthen our local vigilant group for now. Till we have strong institution and law , I am not supporting state police.

Sizzorkay:
That's not an excuse chief. there's never going to be a perfect time to do what's needed. reforms can be carried out regardless of what atmosphere is there. The will to do it is what's lacking. if we are to wait for that perfect time or climate, we will wait for eternity

Now is not good because state governors are finding it hard to pay salaries, how will they be able to fund security upto maximum expectations to quell crises rocking their respective states?
