Her narrative is vague at most.

The sort of half baked stories we get fed nowadays in the name of news can be irritating.
A decent outfit would have at least investigated some of her claims before releasing this piece of trash. She said 100. At least confirm about 10% of the identities of her victims who died mysteriously, and speak with some of the living ones who had become impotent, then the story would have a level of credibility.

I mean, it was prostitution, something that is obtainable worldwide. I'm not blaming her victims (if there were any) Just can't accept the story at face value, without some compelling factors.

Africa the dark continent.

Guy, you do know this is African journalism you are talking about right? Abi you thought you were reading from the Wall Street Journal?? Hahaha

Business › Re: Jack Ma Visits Africa With 38 Other Billionaires by davidif: 9:23am On Jul 22, 2017

humilitypays:
The problem Nigerian youth entrepreneurs are facing is lack of funding for their ingenuity business ideas. Many Nigerian youths have awesome business ideas that will change Nigeria and the world, but most of these ideas die in their bedrooms due to lack of seed fund to bring the ideas to reality.

This is where Nigerian billionaires and millionaires need to invest in; angel investment....helping to fund rare and wonderful business ideas of Nigerian youths...we need a platform for that purpose.... A crowdfunding platform to pull resources together to fund viable and ingenuity business ideas of Nigerian youths...Seun you can use Nairaland to start this entrepreneurship revolution in Nigeria.

Jack Ma only brought this idea, a Japanese business man saw future in his idea and pumped in money and today, alibaba group is taking over global trade and may soon overtake Facebook and Google in income generation because they are rendering forever services.

Well thats the job of private equity and venture capital firms: to invest money in start up companies.

Also while you are at it, go and beg Emiefiele to reduce interest rates so that Nigerians can afford to take loans from banks. Current interest rates are prohibitive.

Nope. You pay them a salary according to your budget.
When it comes to corruption, that's why you have a board that oversees the police dept and make the head of police elected by the people making them accountable to the people. You can't steal from people and expect them to vote for you at the ballot.

Election of an LG head officer (or Area commander) would bring unnecessary acrimony within the ranks of the Nigeria Police Force.

But I believe that the Local Government Councils could exercise effective oversight over the local police formations within their domain. For instance, the Area commanders and DPOs could be required, by law, to brief LG councillors on police activities and the general security situation in the LG. Ditto for the CP to the House of Assembly.

What I am saying is that there should be no Nigerian police force anymore. Policing should be localized with the state over seeing them.

A good development, what worries me is the funding and the would-be police salary and allowances, #18,000 minimum wage that many states cant pay, am afraid they wil have to get their salary from bribes extortions etc. From folks. And during campaigns/election, God help the opposition/rival.

This police men don't have to be full time police men you know? They can have other jobs and businesses as long as they disclose it before hand. If they don't and they are caught then it's a fireable offense with possible jail time.

Nothing bad in state police. But Nigeria is not ripe for stare police

Then when will it ever be? Aren't you people tired of mediocrity? You complain that the police force cannot protect people from cattle herders yet when they offer changes you complain that it won't work. When will you people stop being afraid of taking risks and making changes instead of the tired old tropes "Nigeria is not ready for state police", "the governor's would use them as their personal army" blah blah blah.
A highly trained localized police force accountable to the people in the community is the best way to ensure the security of the people not some distant, inefficient, hyper corrupt police force far off in Abuja that is only accountable to the federal govt.

the problem of Nigeria is state governors. the problem of this country is not because anyone is marginalising anyone, the federal government is not the problem of Nigeria. if federal government allow state governors to have state police ( tugs) then we are finished. we are always looking on to USA, forgetting that 1776and 1960 is not the same. just because USA has state police, Nigeria want state police. with the type of mindset our governors have, and their level of corruption, given them police is giving them power to kill us more. what benefit will state get if they have state police? these governors don't have anything good for the masses. may God save naija

First of all America was not always this advanced and back then just like today policing was left to the local communities with the head of police usually elected by the people.
Secondly, when the British were still in charge, we had local police and it worked.
Thirdly to stop police doing the bidding of the governor, you make the police commissioner elected by the people and not the state governor.

Imagine a Hausa man arrested in Southeast by state police along with an Igbo man with same offence, who do you think would receive pardon and get jail sentence respectively?

First of all, a police man has no right to sentence anyone to prison that's the job of the courts. The police man's job is to arrest.

Gbam!! Don't mind Nigerians and their scare mongering. Them too dey fear Wetin dem never see. When you bring up a new idea They always shoot it down. Saying it will never work in Nigeria as if the status quo is working. In other to progress in life, one has to be willing to take risks and not stay in the same place for great that it won't work out. Almost every time I am on nairaland bring up new ideas it's always the same push back "it won't work in nigeria", "Nigeria is not yanki" or "Nigerians are too tribalistic" etc. But if you tell them to bring there own ideas they can't even think of anything.

don't you known that necessity is the mother of invention. Let every state contcontrol their resources and check out the rate of growth this country will experience with a very short period. The truth is that some state will be richer than other but in long run Nigeria will be great, and you will see a genieu love in this country. Do you think for instance Anambara state will watch a state like borno to suffer without giving them aid.

Abi o! The only way for a child to learn how to walk is to allow them to walk by themselves. They might fall a couple of times but you have to allow them till they figure it out. The best way for someone to grow up is to give them responsibility. That's why they need to cut off allocations asap, get rid of all this excessive states (and of LGA's) that we have by merging them.into regions. Then force them to stand on their own.

PDPGuy:
The points you've raised are the reasons why I prefer a decentralization of the Police Force. I'll put forth the following suggestions:

- The governors, who are constitutionally recognized as the chief security officers of their states, should have statutory authority to deploy officers in any part the state in the event of a total breakdown of law and order.

- The State commissioners of police and the serving DPOs should be answerable to the state houses of assembly. The commissioner of police shall be required to brief the Houses of Assembly at least thrice in 12 months on the general security situation of the state.

- A police commissioner and/or DPO can be removed from office by a 2/3 vote of the House of Assembly.

- A state shall be responsible for no less than 30% of the funding for police formations within the state. And such funding shall be by way of first line charge from the consolidated revenue fund.

- The federal government shall still be responsible for training officers.

- Only officers who are residents of their states (i.e. have served in that state for no less than 5 years) should be considered for the CP, DCP and ACP positions.

Actually a better model would be a local police force instead of a state police force with the local head of police elected by the people in the community and with all of the conditions you states above.
