Assuming you are the President of Nigeria,what would be your actions and reactions towards the crisis rocking different parts of the country.

How would you handle the situations in order for normalcy to return to different states of the federation?

Take some specific actions. I wrote this in another thread - a day or before Lekki happened.

The police's response to this was the usual - issue a statement and wait for it to go away. But the young folks showed they were serious this time so the police leadership are miming. No real change has been made, either on the part of police leadership or the state.

If I were the IG, I'd issue a statement like - We have arrested so and so number for prosecution for murder, torture and extortion; fire so and so number for witnessing murder and failing to report it; demoted so and so number for failing to rein in officers under their command; so and so number are still under investigation. We are redrafting our training and putting in place measures to ensure only worthy people are recruited, including background checks like it's done elsewhere. (I've been saying red for years. Try entering the FBI - they will interview your grandmother, you classmates, your brother's ex-girlfriend, your former neighbours from 10 years, etc.)

If I were the president, I'd issue a statement like - I am sorry the government failed the youth for so long by letting the police kill unchecked and tell people 'I will kill you and nothing will happen'; the IG has been fired and the new IG has my instructions to root out the system of "returns" within the force; the NHRC board has been reconstituted; as we speak, 20 states and FG have constituted their panels (less than 10 states have so far) and the remaining states and the FCT are working on it - those with proven cases of suffering unduly at the hands of the police with compensated; the federal and state AGs are working overtime to prosecute culprits; the PSC is being reconstituted with a mandate to ensure the system of returns is rooted from the force - the members will be announced tomorrow; I am increasing a constable's salary by 75% with immediate effect and my VP is working on a report for a comprehensive improvement of police welfare, including financial provision for the family of those who died serving their country; etc.

But you know what? We're dealing with an institutional rot, so I doubt the IG can make the statement above - he's a beneficiary of the system. The entire police leadership knew about these murders and aided and abetted them. Nothing they tell you is to be believed. The police can't change itself - only the FG can do it. And where is the president? Let's not go there.

All I will do is show the people they are important. I would not only disband SARs but call for a national conference with every tribe represented. Few selected members of the Senate will be present to discuss how we can live together. If GEJ or Osibanjo were the President this crises would not escalate to this level.

I will also sack the IG of police with the Army Chief for killing innocent protesters. Start paying money to victim's families after seeing them in Aso rock. If possible, rebury victims as fallen heroes.

Give daily televised updates.

Sack the igp and order a total reshuffle of all commisioners of police.

Review the police salary structure, recruitment and training.

Personally visit the hotest protest zone as these are kids who just want a better country so they can go to school and work without fear of harassment.

There is a difference between PMB and President

with the way things are going, him better use his head, whatever he says will escalate things and opposition party are always there to find fault in his speech that may trigger people.
Though the president has his flaws but they(opposition) have made it so bad for him that majority of Nigerians doesn't even respect the president, politics in Nigeria is a very deadly game and we are reaping the fruit. The worst he could do is talk to Nigerians cos it will anger Nigerians more and if he flies out, it will be worse, if he sends someone to address the nation, things will escalate.Its not easy becoming a President and more than that, its not easy becoming a Buhari, The IGP better handle the situation amicably
As for PMB, him better shut up for now

We need to understand Nigeira.
If Buhari resigns you are calling for crisis.

Arewa will fight oduduwa.
The people in posts will loot the remaining money.
Even right now, there is no fire service, hospitals are closed down.. e.t.c

The best thing is to find a scape goat.
It can be those sars officials, especially that cannibal in the south east.

Arrest people enmasse, because this protest is no longer peaceful.

Declear state of emergency and turn Nigeria to China.

I will come to Lagos and declare the protest close by having a town hall meeting with youths across the state.

I will go to Port Harcourt and Enugu and do the same and go to Kaduna and Abuja to have same meeting.

Our agenda will be based on:
Jobs Opportunities, Security, and Police.

All artisanal associations-tailors, Vulcanizers, barbers etc in all states will be given grants.

Lift ban on importation of rice and grant concessions on import duties
