Nigerians always rush to cite example of US when it is convenient but refuse to act like the Americans as citizens. It is obvious Governors are more evil than the President. They have technically killed the Local Govt despite all interventions from different quarters, sitting on their monies and milking the LG dry.

What has Governors done with the Monthly state security allocation, squander it. Having state police will create 36 different monsters in all the states. I align with the President, I am totally against it.

When you dash governor's power without accountability, they will do and undo. State police works in America because the citizens are politically active.

State police is not the answer to our problem, but citizens speaking with one voice and we would get whatever we want in life. Trust me.

If all boys decide to speak with one voice we would end government manipulation.

the federal government should pass a bill making local government recognize in state government each state should come up with is own budget attached to it with local government own with that funds are transferred to states are local government too for proper use the federal government can do it forget this state government noisemaking issue if your a governor will u want a local government to chop above u that's the problem

People will say that they agree with Buhari without thinking it through. What's the difference between State Police and resource control that the South have been crying for. If Buhari doesn't support restructuring the same reason,I don't see him support State Police

Northerners are afraid of state police because they will be targeted for their crimes. Even so amotekun is already working and some in ondo carry ak's and shotguns

You claimed the State Police in the US during the Civil rights era of 1960 was heavily racist, where was the record? Racism has nothing to do with State Police. Federal Police officer can also practise racism.

State Police is very strong in the US. The US Constitution can never stop State Police. Each State in US have Supreme Court. You are bringing demerit of a State Police still being used in US to Nigeria when the US have no such complaint. Nigeria operates a nomadic federalism and not true Federalism.

Damidave1124:
I'm tempted to bash Buhari, but haven gone through the write up, I must say he raised some salient points.

The governors, if given the opportunity will abuse it, they'll use it to which hunt their opponents till the subdue them.

Again, the north is scared of state police, because they'll lose their grip on Nigeria at large. Each state controlling the police will not favour the born to rule people

I don't agree with Bubu, but state police has 3 problems for me

1. Funding. Most states don't earn enough money to fund normal stuff, talkless state police

2. And let's be honest, governors will use the state police to deal with their opponents.

3. And let's not talk about what would happen in cases of tribal and religious crisis.


The USA that had state police, during the civil rights era of the 1960s, there were times where the federal government had to intervene because the state police was heavily heavily racist ( in some instances indistinguishable from groups like the KKK)

So, killings and Ethnic cleansing under a lopsided police and army is the best?

Under the present circumstances, 95% of the police commissioners are fulani people. The IGP is a fulani man. Over 60% of the DPO and DCO are all fulani. And the fulani is just less than 4% of Nigeria population.

When the northerners start their killing spree in the south, they always have all the police and army protection they need because their brothers will protect and urge them on. This leads to immediate casualties and arrest of anyone that is not a northerner.

There can never be enforcement of anti grazing laws in the south because the police command structure is controlled by the same fulani that owns the cows.

There is much crime in the south because Adamus and Abduls that doesn't know anything about the terrain are in control of police formations and criminals will be running amok knowing that the Adamus knows motjing about the terrain they operate. They are just bribe collecting robots intent on checkpoint profits.

State police will help the locals who are the real stakeholders to police their domain in the way they want, nobody can do anyhow because we know his address. Police brutality will be reduced to the minimum because there will not be any Northern policeman who will shoot innocent people and get an automatic transfer back to Jigawa state where he continues him crimes.

These are all excuses, the center is afraid of losing it’s power. No one has power gave it up willingly.

1. In terms of finding, the FG gets her money from States and then allocate percentages back to them, since they will no longer be tasked with Policing reducing their tax on State will free up money.

2. FG uses Police & FG agencies to oppress everyone and States everyday….case in point AGN is in Magodo Estate using FG police to intervene on land issues when the Constitution have fully vested the power over land to the State….they are even ignoring the Governor’s orders.

. Thank God you mentioned a civilization that started it badly, but over the years they are still learning and tweaking it. You can’t be perfect in a vacuum, you have to start somewhere. None of us know anything about the internet when we started Primary School, but look at us today.

Yes, State Governors will abuse it just like the FG, you can’t be Governor forever, power must change hands and with each year, the fear of retribution will force them to moderate…..remember one certain former Governor in Edo State? He later became the National Chairman of one National Party, he was pompous and powerful, his thugs reign high every corner of Edo State…..do you hear about him again? I sometime think that he is on a self-exile in some foreign island - no reported sittings….that is power, it must change hand one day.

I agree with you. Some people can not see the truth because of their hatred for Buhari.

State police will be dangerous. They are going to act supreme and threaten innocent souls. We have not talked about hatred, bully, and much more stuff. People should be careful about state police.

Imagine having a case with a Yoruba man in Ogun as an Igbo man, and the state police is a
Yoruba man. You are done for good. The same applies to other tribes.

More innocent would suffer if that was actualized.

Nairalanders, keep your hatred aside and see the flaws in the state police.

heniford2:
In USA each state has its own state police then we have federal police who supervisor or is above the state, the local government issues is the state government should state is own budget and the local government should also do same,then funds are been transferred to local government for proper use, buhari is a lazy man a big one and has nothing upstairs

MT:


The FG has done its bit. It has been sent to the State House of Assemblies of each state to domesticate. Unfortunately, they are puppets in the hands of the Governors and that is where everything dies. The State House of Assemblies refuse to debate it and domesticate. The Governors will not let them do it and there is nothing the presidency can do about it,

thinkmoney:

I don't like Buhari. But your comment is funny, because you said you don't agree with him only to mention what he actually pointed out in your point 2.
So what is it u don't agree with?
No bad person can be bad all the time. I agree with Buhari that state police will be abused and I agree with u that the states cannot find them

masseratti:
i swear, I don't know who told him having state police means scrapping the federal police, both will have its jurisdiction which will be different from each other, no how will the state government abuse its power when the federal police is still available.
