Abeg what does Police Supermemary Unit do?

How is it different from the normal Police Unit?

Because I dey wonder how a Commissioner of Education become ACP

supernumerary Policemen otherwise known as SPY police are just private individuals trained by the supernumerary police unit for specific security roles and protection of high ranking officials and or organizations. Their job is to Complement the services of regular police officers

Their uniform is slightly different from the regular police officers.

It is the supernumerary police unit that trains SPY police and in charge of posting them to ministries, departments,multinationals, banks and other private organizations

Seems like you don't understand the principles of justice. Since October 7, Israel have attacked Syria, Qatar unprovoked. I don't want to mention Yemen and Lebanon cox you will start shouting Hezbollah and Houthis.

Why is Israel annexing Syrian territory in 2026?
Why did Israel strike Qatar? Have Syria or Qatar attack Israel since October 7?

You have left October 7 and jumped to post-October 7 still u are avoiding the main point.

If u don't hate Israel why did u celebrate murder of innocent Israeli citizens ? Is that part of preaching multi-polarity world ?

GloriousGbola:
iran is attacking protesters
american govt is attacking protesters

russia first entered crimea, then ukraien
us entered venezulea, is now eyeing greenland - so whats teh difference?

anyone can make up any case to invade a sovereign nation - they have nazis, they have wmd, they are narco terrorists, they are oppressing minorities - but at its core it is all BS and about power

It is what it is.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I've told you many times that October 7th didn't happen in a vacuum. U go fetch ant infested firewood then you wonder why lizard dey visit your house.


https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-livid-after-un-chief-says-hamas-attacks-did-not-occur-in-vacuum/

This is beside the point.

You claim you don't hate Israel but I doubt that is true. Why? Because you rejoiced when October 7 happened. October 7 was Jihadist slaughtering defenseless Israeli citizens and you actually took delight in that massacre.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
We wey dey preach Multi-Polarity in the International Arena, e no mean say we hate America or Israel.

Are you sure about this?

Your posts in the past literally read as though u rejoice when these two countries either have planes falling off their sky (In the case of America) or when their citizens get massacred by Jihadist (As in the case of Israel in the wake of October 7).

The only recorded crimes committed on 3MB is when a vehicle breaks down. That's when you see 3 touts harassing victims.

So because of at most, 20 people causing mischief on the bridge, we use 2.5 billion to put CCTV, and still incur monthly expenses?

We never really talk wetin wan make us put 2.5 billion there

I don't think that's the only crime happening there o. There have been instances where dead body has been found on the bridge without any indication that it was a road accident which suggest such corpse are dropped there.

Away from crime, the CCTV can aid prompt emergency response to accidents on the bridge . I think that is something that makes the CCTV installation reasonable.

The cost may be over-inflated as typical of most government awarded contracts, but I think the CCTV installation is actually needed on the bridge.

GloriousGbola:
Na why lasg floodlight na over 1m.

Exactly.

GloriousGbola:
240 solar panels when a solar panel is 130k
300kva transformer which is 18 to 22m
Lights are solar powered so why do we need 300kva in the first place?
Generator size not included
Hilux should be 70m+ or thereabouts
Total cameras not listed
Total floodlights not listed

Not sure how this comes to 2.5b,esp as it is ccecc who will likely be supplying most of the materials direct from China.

lolz. U dey try calculate contract sum disbursed by government through ministry ?

Just dey play! Majority of the contract sum goes for settling different persons of interest from the civil servants at the ministry to even the minister and Perm secs overseeing the ministry that awarded the contract.

I saw the comment yesterday, and I wasn't surprised.

But I am still trying to understand what we need a CCTV for in Third Mainland bridge.

There are thousands of Federal Roads where this surveillance would be needed.

Maybe I dey in the past oh, but I no know wetin we need am for

Well, to the best of my knowledge the CCTV is required to monitor and control crime on the bridge. You know how vehicles breakdown on the bridge and hoodlums just swarm the vehicle occupants with the aim of either forcefully obtaining cash from them or outrightly rob them.

I want to believe the CCTV will be manned and security agents will be close by to intervene when such incidents occur going forward.

I also think the presence of monitoring officers in the CCTV control room will aid fast response to accident scene on the bridge going forward.

All of these assumptions is hoping the CCTV will be used like they ought and not that it was just an avenue to take out money from the treasury.

That being said, I agree other major highways across the country also need this CCTV to combat crime along the highways.

@izzou they said the cost of the CCTV is N2.5billion and not N40billion that was earlier reported.

https://www.nairaland.com/8598058/third-mainland-bridge-surveillance-cost

To think that one stewpiid BATist was actually defending the N40 billion cost on front page yesterday and was busy insulting anybody who pointed out how ridiculous the N40 billion price tag for only CCTV surveillance sounded to sane minds.

The owners of the rehab go dey cash out steady.

If person get money, na sure ticket be this

Na super cash out sef.

Thw first and only time I've been to the neuropsychatry hospital in Yaba(Yaba left) was when I was in either 300l or 400l when we offered a course that required us going to different levels of hospital ( primary Healthcare centers, general hospital, tertiary hospitals/teaching hospitals, specialized hospitals like Yaba left, etc) to carry out some findings/research.

It was while within the premises of Yaba left I saw at close range what harm drug abuse has done to individuals and their families. No be small thing at all.

Some parents bundle their kids down there and spend serious amount of money to rehabilitate them.

KingTom:
The shame and stigma associated with drug use is no more there, frankly people don't care enough to bother themselves with other people's problems in these times

I was having this discussion with a friend recently ; while we were much younger smoking marijuana was something people go as gra away as possible from home to do because of the shame/stigma associated with it.

There are some "Ẹlẹ́gbon" that we didn't know dem dey kpoli until we saw them at a football field very far away from home litting their smoke with some other senior men where they were damn sure no known person can see them.

It's either they smoke in such far away football field or they look for an uncompleted building that is very far away from home to do their thing.

Nowadays you see kids that are barely out of secondary school blowing trees in broad daylight on the streets. You see smoking on TikTok Live, they smoke at open parties and even beside people's windows without fear of the people in the neighborhood reporting.

Funnily if you decide to report them because you feel it's not right for them to be smoking weed openly like that, they will label u a snitch.

And to now think it's even all those synthetic weed cultured in labs they smoke that can easily damage their brain. It just gives a creep that in years to come, only few young adults may be sane enough to be called elders

My old man once mentioned this place. I think an article was written about the island back then In Guardian newspapers or so

These northern governors are not really serious about combating terrorism and banditary.

After the FG has already declared act of banditary as terrorism, here is Katsina state governor agreeing to a so-called "peace deal" to release 70 bandits back into the system just like that.

https://www.nairaland.com/8597323/katsina-governor-release-70-bandits

Bandits that kidnapped, injured and killed law abiding citizens, those are the same people they are releasing back into the society under yeye peace deal arrangement.

They eat security votes from FG, turn back to claim FG did not do enough to protect their citizens and then proceed to be negotiating with terrorists. Na wa o

Alonso Don collect sack letter?

That was fast!

raumdeuter:
If they put him as Right back, I can accept it cos his competitions will be Eguavoen, Mobi Oparaku, Ruben Agboola, Efe Ambrose etc. I cant remember a great right back we ever had. Many times sef na makeshft right back we dey use.

Meanwhile quality Left back na water Iroha, Babayaro Taiwo

Yeah, apparently we didn't have great RBs that's why they thought of fixing calamity Yobo there sha.

Guehi is saliba position, with Madrid coming every market days for him, it's only a matter of time.
I also feel if we win something significant our team will be fulfilled and seek another challenge

Until then...bringing him in would not make sense

Guehi is not coming this season it's after WC, more over he's for free meaning he will negotiate a big contract and he knows he can't compete with the 2 best cbs.
After this WC by the next one he be close to 30 he need the pay more than the play, may the highest bidder win

Guehi coming next season doesn't change anything. If Gabriel Saliba are not leaving anytime soon, then it's certain Guehi will be coming to seat on the bench and only hope to play when either of them is injured or in ocassional cup matches when they are rested.

Guehi is at the peak of his footballing career, so I doubt if he will settle for that when he can go to Loserpool where they can guarantee him starting shirt or Barca (if they are nkt broke again).

Make dem focus on strengthening other more important departments where we are light instead of brining in a player that may not be happy on the bench whether he's signed for free or not.

We have highways all over the country that need urgent security attention.

Na 3rd Mainland bridge wey no soul dey waka on top dem wan use 40 billion do CCTV.

When Northern politicians say Tinubu na President of Lagos, we go say na lie.

Is there any sense in this project?

The annoying thing is how Dave Umahi will call criminally inflated figures as cost for a project and he will boastfully be using English to defend it.

Imagine Ekiti state government's 2026 budget is 415 billion and Dave Umahi get mind to say FG used 40 billion ( close to 10% of Ekiti budget) to fix only CCTV on third mainland bridge 🤦‍♂️

Shebi if they even want to do projects in Lagos because it is the president's state they should at least call reasonable figures nit this kind fugure that clearly shows intention to fleece tax payers of their funds.

izzou:
40 billion for CCTV on Third Mainland bridge

Reason: To prevent suicide attempt

They just keep inventing different strategies on how to rob this country dry everyday.

They just call billions like it's some chicken change.....na wa o.

CCTV is good and should be installed not just on third mainland bridge but major highways to monitor/control/prevent crime. However, calling 40 billion as the cost of fixing the CCTV on third mainland bride alone is criminal.

MSGAMBLE9:
This Morning report but Arteta won't sell come what may be... On Guehi, Liverpool would be his first choice then Barca because of starting berth but he's an opportunity not to be pass-on being Free..

🚨 Everton are exploring a potential move for Arsenal defender Ben White, 28, as they look to address long-standing issues at right-back. 🔵

White remains a valued member of Mikel Arteta’s squad and any deal would be complex, with Arsenal yet to signal a willingness to sell - The Athletic

We can't guarantee Guehi a starting shirt if he decides to join Arsenal because we actually have CBs that are way ahead of him in experience and skills. He should just go to Barca or any other big team that needs CB and willing to offer him starting shirt.

As for Ben White, I will only recommend selling him if we can get a very good RB like dem Dumfries of Inter. I also won't mind seeing a RB from the academy being transitioned into the senior squad (That is if we have any prospect) like that sha

mostob:
Mosquera can primarily back up Timber at RB. Guehi can comfortably rotate with Saliba and Gabriel. The whole thing still bothers on if White or/and MLS are moved on and Guehi is willing to come.

Why play Mosquera out of position just to accommodate Guehi ? Is it a must we sign Guehi?

Why can't we be contented with the fine defenders we already have in our team and focus on strengthening the team in other areas? To the best of my knowledge we don't have any issues with out CBs at all if none of them has shown willingness to leave the club next season.

Signing of players like Guehi while we are already stacked in the CB department is one fast way to destabilize a team .

MSGAMBLE9:
It's an opportunity they don't want to pass with him being Free and also a London boy albeit a Chelsea bred... If we win it all this season (EPL and CL), one of Saliba (Real Madrid) or Gabriel ( Saudi) might want new Challenge or Money 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....

Well, if either of our CBs are leaving at the end of the season then signing Guehi may make sense.

mostob:
I forgot to add that if he (Guehi) is willing to come. White has been in and out of treatment room for sometimes now. Arteta has been complaining about how he has been taking risk playing Timber when he should be resting. If MLS doesn't get back to form and White is still battling fitness (I hope not), I really don't mind having Guehi.

Will Guehi be coming to play RB? My understanding is that he's traditionally a CB and not RB

iamoyindamola:
I thought we dont have issues with the way we have cbs, moreover injuries will always happen

Guehi na senior man. If he's coming to Arsenal, he will be coming with the mind that he will be a starter, not to wait for injury to Saliba to shine.

Moreover Mosquera is there to step up should Saliba be injured. That is why I'm saying if none of our current CBs are leaving, adding Guehi to the team is not a wise decision.

See our AM issues for example, we bought Eze to be in contention for the same position with Odegaard and then we still have Nwaneri who has seen limited action since Odegaard/Eze competition began.

Guehi is a good player but I don't see how he will fit in with our current CB stack up. We should focus on other position to strengthen

iamoyindamola:
Guehi is not coming this season the agreement is to have pre-agreement and he stays at palace till season end because of WC

The question is who is he coming to replace?

Are we selling any of the current crop of CBs? If no, then buying him is not a wise acquisition. We have other departments that require urgent attention.
