I read somewhere that 40 LG areas are not under the Federal Government.

I am proposing a proposal of stationing 1000 police officer & 1000 military officers in every LG area, I think this measures would make it almost impossible for any LG to be overrun by terrorist or Bandits and in the event of an attack on a LG, not only would d attackers have to contend with 2000 armed men, they might have to contend with another 6000 armed men from neighbouring LG who may be deployed to the side of the attacked LG.

I think all 3 leading contenders in d presidency must implement this measure as a matter as urgency.

The benefits to d Local economy

With 2000 men drawing salaries on a monthly basis,?that alone would rejuvenate d local economy, as this personnel would be living with their wives & families thereby making d Local economy to be boisterous.

So it’s a win-win for Nigeria as wealth would trickle down to long forgotten LG areas.


What is your take guys on this.

774 LG areas X 2000 personnel = 1,548,000 persons. We can afford it as a country.

Lol... The total staff strength of the Nigerian armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force) is 223,000 according to Wikipedia (which I am sure is an inflated figure).

If you think our government will recruit 1.5 million men into the police force, you're a joker. In fact, you deserve the ballon d'or of comedy

In the first place, Nigeria CANNOT afford that, even without the crazy corruption, it's a huge financial burden. Also, that's an unnecessary figure, we don't really need 1.5m police men to secure the country when we have the armed forces and even civil defence.

The best thing is to encourage and empower local vigilantes (through ethical and physical training as well as basic ammunition) and put them under the command of a police station so they won't go haywire. That's how to curb insecurity at the grassroots.

They can half the figure what of 500 armed men in every LG. That would be around 750,000 men which is in Cognisance to what we currently have.

The only way this can happen is if all important people in the country are evenly distributed to live in these L.G.A's.

They take things seriously when their own lives are in danger.

Don't do half a job
Since you are going down the road of figures
YOU say
We can afford it
What will it cost? Exactly in salaries each year?

To Kit and equip them and provide office space and logistics?

What office space is there any LG in Nigeria that has not got a big man to finance such jobs in his or her LG. This incentive would bring radical development all over d LG. Houses would need to be built. A mammy market would become a visible presence in every LG. The multiple effect would wipe poverty out of Nigeria.

Nigeria can't afford a million man military at this point , even almighty IS has just 1.3m men in active service

The money the accountant General stole is enough to fund all these personnel. Not to talk of other loose funds stolen in D NDDC & other agencies.

The accountant General stole 109 billion Naira. So u do the calculations. Minimum wages is 30,000.00 let us assume d police would get 60,000. X 100000 = 6billion

Army/Navy/ Airforce let us say they get 90,000.00 X1000= 9billion
6+9 = 15billion

Accountant General stole = 109 billion, d money he stole can pay wages of these personnel for 10 years.

Minimum wage of 60000 Naira a month
First the assumption that those who can do a good job would accept minimum wage is wishful thinking but let us work with that

60000 X12 = 720000 per annum for 1 person

720000 for 2000 persons X 774 local government areas

72000 X 2000 X 774
= 111456000000

So I do not know where you get your funny calculations from. You just wake up overdose on awuf eba and start yarning dust

Everything costs money even recruitment and training . You have to screen policemen very well before employing them and train them etc .That is money for each person you would spend over 100000 to train and recruit.

Now if you employ 2000 people on 60K a month should you be surprised when they start extorting or even robbing and kidnapping?

This is a very good idea maybe the number is at the high side but need to harmonize to achievable number.

U must be one the people benefitting in this calamatious situation. Y would anyone in their right oppose a proposition that would not only bring development to our LG but would bring sanity, commercial activities & reduction of poverty.

He's not one of those benefiting from this situation, he is just stating the obvious. You are a novice in the security circle, your maths and economics is abysmally shallow too.

For a start, no 40 local government areas are under the control of any bandit or terrorist. In fact, we have been giving them hell lately.

See, Google "battlefieldgroup02" and join the telegram group where Nigerian military operational battle discussions takes place, maybe you would have a reason to discuss better.

I do not oppose or support

I am a rational person

First I ask for figures and analysis before forming an opinion

It is better we use such ; facts and figures, to persuade each other rather than resort to sentiments, emotion and blackmailing language.
I asked for calculation and you gave an illiterate calculation which does not add up. Instead of accepting correction this............
You sound like a fanatic

If you suggestion makes sense all you need to do is support it like somebody who ever went to school

These days security is not just all about man power, there are so many ways to end boko haram and reduce insecurity in Nigeria without fighting anyhow, reason why I call the boko haram and bandit war a wasteful war under Buhari's government...

Because the citizens will then notice they are hungry and underemployed and that their children are at home doing nothing and that our salaries na rubbish.
Then guys will have guts to challenge the government.

It’s all about deliberate FG keeping guys in fears

You have TWENTY mopol protecting ONE Civilian plus TEN more protecting their family members.

You have TEN mopol Protecting Wizkid, Another TEN protecting Davido, another TEN protecting Burna .....list of musicians is too long

Add former Govt officials, politicians, nollywood actors/actresses, yahoo Boys, 419ers etc

You REMOVE these mopols and put them in the streets and we will be alright!!!

Why employed million men, these men will still torment our people. when we can use advance tech by deploy drone

Once d Mobile Police are quarantined to a LG they cannot be protecting Wiz Kid or Burna boy. Y in d first place is police looking after our celebrities. We should empower d security companies they should be allowed to bear arms like in America.
