I don't agree with Bubu MOST OF THE TIME, but the partiuclar issue of 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)

Modified

1. Expanding further on point 1, our tax to gdp ratio is low. About 70% of Nigerians don't pay income tax to state and federal government. So, where are we going to find the money for state police? Is it from oil whose price jumps up and down? No, loans. Just loans.

2.We had regional police in 1966. You people know what happened that year.

Your argument is based on SHARING FEDERAL ALLOCATION money generated from one side of the country to all.


Modern Regional, State, County, Local government area Police formations, are managed by the citizens, via elected POLICE CHIEFS.

Every area's police take care of the area's peculiar problems.

Both of you have destroyed the once fast developing and most peaceful city - Orlu - in your senatorial district.

Go and celebrate.

Neither can be.


Between 1999 to 2023:

SW must have presided over Nigeria for about 8years.

North, (including NW, NC and NE), must have presided over Nigeria for about 12years.

SS must have presided over Nigeria for about 5 years.

SE must have presided over Nigeria for 0 years.

Why would the SW present a successor to President Buhari in 2023?

Why would the SE not present a successor to President Buhari?

okofians:
Your takes though, OUK can't be APC flag bearer neither can Wike be for the opposition, The APC ticket would go to the South West while that of the PDP would head to the North.. The East has nothing to offer in this settings, APC would be shooting itself on the foot if they make this political blunder. The North would support the political marriage with the West rather than the East or South South.

Between 1999 to 2023:

[quote author= post=109062668]A better Nigeria all around is all we want,
Not all these political shenanigans.[/quote]Expecting a good leader to emerge from the present skewed and lopsided political structure of Nigeria with unitary government system, to get a better Nigeria, is like expecting to meet a virgin in a maternity ward.

MURIC is believed to be behind the idea of Muslim president to be succeded by another Muslim - in Nigeria nearly equally divided between Muslims and Christians.
Muslim president has never been succeded by another Muslim since 1999, same for Christian president.

MURIC- an agent of political instability?

In Imo state, there is only one fire service station in Owerri. Others in Okigwe and Orlu have since been disabled by the inept and begrudged governor, with applause from Owerri. Nobody from Owerri will ask: but why? Instead, Owerri would ask governors to build more fire service stations in major communities in Owerri zone.

In Owerri, landlords and tenants refuse to pay for refuse disposal.

They expect Imo state government to use funds that should have served for development infrastructures in Okigwe and Orlu zones, to fund refuse disposal in Owerri.

Of course, some inept governors do the wishes of the Owerri landlords.

But truth is that in every saner society, landlords and tenants pay for disposal of refuse they generated. They have made Imo to become a state with a single city.

Stanchem029:
OP happy new year.
Of what importance is this post here?

Owerri alone ate the food that was meant for Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe.

They sing Owerri Allelluia. Before 1999 mostly during the military era, Owerri politicians seized all the infrastructures, including all 5 tertiary education institutions, federal and state ministries, armed forces establishments, that induce development in a state for only Owerri area; they never considered leaving anything to induce urban development for Okigwe and Orlu areas of the state.


Since return to democracy in 1999, Owerri has been gulping nearly 99% of government esources that should have served for building and maintenance of infrastructures in the three old cities - Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe - in Imo state,.

The action of an inept, self-serving and begrudged former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, worsened the situation of Okigwe and Orlu, as Okorocha in pursuit of his personal political ambition heaped all his government development projects in Owerri alone.

own up to your shiit like a man . stop behaving like a coward you are . your cannibal militias are the one cannibalizing orlu.. thank you ur muumu has confirmed that. now run , and take some mkpuru miri

There were, and are, no cannibalism in anywhere in Igbo land. Stop listening to shiit propaganda from UNITY BEGGARS. Igbos don't eat human flesh.

Depressed101:
the people of the south east and those who cared to listen when he said, this people are coming for you, you have to prepare, but sadly nobody listened, he had to take it upon himself to set up a defense line that worked effectively in his place, tell me how many Fulani attack story have you heard for a long time now in the south/east?

Nigeria armed forces and financed unknown gunmen quickly took the place of killer Fulani herdsmen in the southeast.

Easy this time.

Whoever saw how Edo boys dealt deadly with Fulani people living in Benin last year..

It was horror scene.

Mbaka, did you not know the sort of unforgiving people they were when you embraced and campaigned for them in 2015?
You are now like one in that Religious faith but forbidden to leave.

huncho22:
bastard

...you, marsherman293 etc.
You insult Chino, also insult anyone from Imo state but not from Owerri who appears on this thread.

You people's culture of extreme greed and intolerance suggest that you are related more to some group in Mba mmiri, than to any other group in Imo state. Tufiakwa. Guess why politics in Imo state is battle.

Parasite, continue with your propaganda of falsehood against IPOB, because of your fear of failure if crude oil and gas earnings from the east and SS are taken off your reach.

Finquas:
With the Rumour of Kwankwaso defecting to the APC , Tinubu should insist on their convention holding this Feb so he can see clearly he has been used and dumped. The North is positioning a core Muslim to be vice president to a Southern Christian President in 2023. This already without much a do takes Tinubu out of the equation cause Nigeria as it is today cannot tolerate a Muslim-- Muslim ticket in any guise

Muslim president has never succeeded a Muslim president in Nigeria. Same with Christian.

It's not the turn of the SW to produce president of Nigeria.
Zoning has largely determined who got the presidency since 1999. Zoning made Obasanjo and Falae from the SW occupy the presidential tickets of the two largest political parties in 1999.

More Yaribawas today are committed to getting Oduduwa nation realised, than Igbos committed to getting Biafra realised.

Vistra40:
I’m sure you are aware Anyim is making moves in his own little way unless you are pretending not to have seen it

In bold.
Anyim should be told: Barack Obama had nothing when he started his campaign to become president of the USA.

In Nigeria, some big men sit down and select who shall be the next president of the country, they present their choice to the biggest political party for voters to merely formalize the chosen one with votes.
Anyim needs to penetrate the kingmakers.

kasheemawo:
Those people from that side that are begging Tinubu not contest will they beg Jonathan too not to contest or I should mind my business ?

Nobody has begged Tinubu to not contest.


What irks people is Tinubu and supporters' insensitivity to the political trends in Nigeria vis a vis zoning and religion.

1) it's not the turn of the SW to produce president of Nigeria. Respect zoning.

2) a Muslim has never succeeded a Muslim president in Nigeria. Same with Christian.
3) because more Yoruba gave votes to Muhammadu Buhari, than other ethnic groups in the south, that's the only claim of Tinubu group to want to distort Nigeria's political trend and make the SW present a successor to President Buhari.

But what's "egbon mi" as written by her sister?

Dsalvo:
You people's reasoning is always beclouded by ethnocentric, religious and secrional hate for others.

Let Tinubu get the ticket and we will see how popular or unpopular he is in Nigeria not to talk of the SW.

You guys will simply never understand Nigerian politics because you approach it emotionally and with a hateful mindset. That is why you suck at politics and lag behind others at national level.

The only example I need to mention is how Buhari failed to win one single State in the SW in 2011 yet won all in 2015, minus Ekiti, when the influence of Tinubu was behind him.

Nothing sagacious political 'influencers'cannot achieve for others once they direct their loyalists in certain directions. It is a system of permanent interest. Buhari's 2015 win was in Tinubu's permanent interest and he worked to deliver the region for Buhari.

In that respect not many, not even Atiku, can say they have as many grassroot and powerful political infleuncers behind them, across the length and breadth of Nigeria, as Tinubu does.

Even Osinbajo will need Tinubu to win, if he gets the APC ticket, otherwise Atiku may defeat him fairly easily if Tinubi does not put his formidable infleunce and political machinery behind the VP.

A lot goes behind the scene before the general public cast their vote. That is why Tinubu and those behind him are confident. You simply cannot fathom the number of very powerful people behind Tinubu from traditonal rulers to business and political titans.

You cannot appreciate this point because all your leaders in the SE play 'food is ready' politics while Tinubu and many others invest in useful people all the time and even when they don't need them yet.

All your politics is on conspiracy aimed to suck up more of crude oil and gas revenues that come from the east and Delta state of Nigeria. Nothing more. Stop your ranting. You are not addressing kids in the kindergarten

If the police don't grab those named, it then means that Uzodinma and the police are involved in the insecurity in the state.

DCatt:
Yes he is in this very context!

Is that from your crystal ball?

I say you don't believe that he can't get 25% votes from his people, if you do, your people won't be sweating bullets at the mention of Tinubu.

If you see some fellow southerners sweating over the mention of Tinubu, that means there is something wrong with what the man is doing. And it's a ticket to his failure on the path of his wrongdoing.
Only a clown would seek for zoning of the presidency between the north and the south to enable the south to produce a successor to President Buhari, but ignores zoning among the regions of the south, because it is the turn of the Igbo in the SE to utilise zoning to produce successor to PMB.

In 2015, we warned all that Muhammadu Buhari was too old to preside over Nigeria. How did they expect an old man to get up from bed to supervise thousands of younger people in public service?

An aged person is aged, no matter how fit he looks.

Even BAT shall soon swear that he never asked anyone to vote for Muhammadu Buhari.

DCatt:
Just for your short memory. Tinubu asked Yoruba and we voted for Gej but not only were Yoruba marginalized, Tinubu was charged on some fake charges to thank him. So we should vote for him again? Even you don't think Yoruba are that stupid.

Is Tinubu the face of Yoruba? Wake up and smell the coffee.

Tinubu shall even fail to win 25% of votes in most of the 6 states of the SW.

The missing rifles musy have been given to Jihadists fighting for an Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.
We have a president who boasted in Kaduna in 2001, that he would not stop fighting until Islamic Sharia criminal justice system is
applied all over Nigeria.

We have a president who appointed a Chief Justice for Nigeria, but the earliest demands of the Chief Justice was for the National Assembly to include Islamic sharia criminal justice system in the Constitution of Nigeria.

Boko haram with its offshoots, the bandits and killer herdsmen, are fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.
