It will lead to greater military presence on the streets.

I also have it on good authority that the military is in a big recruitment drive right now, to significantly boost its numbers in the face of current security challenges.

So if you're looking for work, this is probably a good time to hand in your application to join the military.
Helinues, have you applied to join the APC army?

When they declare a state of emergency, it allows them to suspend certain civil rights provisions of the constitution, such as freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech (to prevent incitement to violence etc), rights preventing detention without trial, etc, and they are also have greater authority to impose curfews and lockdowns, stop and search operations etc.


For me, it is just mere grammar. There is nothing state of emergency does in Nigeria that can't be done without the fanfare of making a declaration speech. Soldiers are on the street,Curfew can be imposed, state or no state of emergency.

Something that doesn't increased the military capability and armament is utterly useless.

Reference:
The basic principle behind a state of emergency like any emergency is to disrupt the normal course of administration or operations of an entity and hand over control to another.

If I am involved in an accident and a medical emergency, in normal climes you lose the power over your time, your space/privacy and even your resources. Every part of your life for the period of emergency is decided by another person. You in effect have no say as to what you eat, drink, wear, hear, watch...

It is the same for institutions as a 'State of Emergency on Insecurity' which affects the security institutions of state.

Or a 'State of Emergency in a locality' which affects the administration of the place.

So in a nutshell, a 'State of Emergency on Insecurity' I assume will involve a direct control by whoever declares it of the instruments of security, be it the police, military and other paramilitary organizations.

To the extent to which their leaderships will either be suspended or replaced remains unsure but one thing is certain there would be significant changes to the way these organisations will operate under emergency rule.

Same thing with territories, the constitutional structures are suspended and taken over.

Under Obj, it used to be a tool for removing governors he didn't like until the court decided against it. An elected governor cannot be removed by such interventions for he has a mandate with a life span hence Obj resort to kangaroo state assemblies of 6 persoons removing a governor



There is nothing the President cannot do, presently especially under the present Nass and get away with

For me, it is a way for them to divert the narrative and buy themselves some breathing space from public scrutiny.

Yeah!! Big recruitment drive of terrorists from the Sahel into your terrorist army. Who in his right sense will offer himself to be recruited into a terrorist army that sabotages the life of its members? You often talk nonsense always, Ross Ike. No southerner or middle belter will offer himself to be killed by terrorists in the name of recruitment. Ross Ike, now crawl back into that cage you alighted from. Talking jargons without reasoning.
Well, from your conclusion, is like saying thiefs, drug addicts etc... are representative of a whole community!!

Just because some officers are compromised doesn't make everyone in the military a criminal..

know this and know peace...

Who wants or loves war?

When people says enough is enough, they want disintegration, how does that neccesarily amount to wanting war? you'll just rush here to say nonsense as usual when people complain about the state of affairs. Being a critic doesn't mean people are not patriot.

Good, but only Orphans should join the Military now so that when they get killed like chickens, nobody will cry for them.

I heard, the executive governor of the state would step down for a military administrator to take over the administrative affairs of the state for a period of time. Other state's apparatus would be answerable to the government at the centre.

Akwamkpuruamu:
State of Emergency takes away most of the democratic tenets and principles. The House of Assembly may not even function independently. The Judiciary will be an appendage under the control of the military administrator. Military oppression of civilians and even extra judicial killings of citizens.

State of Emergency is the last born of war in a democratic setting.
