I WAS THERE IN 1932

ancient of days

since after 2005, we have never gotten this u-20 right.

Buckubuck:
I agree with you. I don't like the president. He does not come across as having the capacity to lead Nigeria to the dreams and aspirations of 21st century citizens. You're also correct. State police was mentioned part of the recommendations.
But you will also agree that a recommendation by a panel does not constitute an approval, moreso, that headline is misleading. That panel was constituted to review human rights abuses by the police. The main thrust their work is not state police creation. As lexy2004 mentioned, state police can't be created by executive fiat. You should not be too blind to see that the Nation is trying to put words the president's mouth.
That the aide posted it does not make it correct. We've seen it happen multiple times were aides post blatant lies.

You keep referring to the Nation, are they the only ones who publish it? Did you check out other media outlets and who said state police will be created by executive fiat. Some of you guys are the ones causing confusion allowing the mischief makers to misinform others. The news was very clear from the onset that the cjn was charged with coming out with plans of implementation within 3 months. This is what came out as news which was a press release and was posted by the Presidential spokesman. That the President gave the order was what folks was commending him for especially with his perceived stand against the idea of state police before now.

Truth is something is in the offing especially with the new NFIU guidelines as regards local government funds which already the Governors are kicking against which is obvious. You can have your opinions but the reactions today has shown me that the proponents of restructuring don't really want it. Simple

Buckubuck:
Most of them are zombie esp the guy. They are ready to latch unto anything to prove their master is working. Even in the recommendation, there's no mention of state police. The Nation is a propaganda newspaper who thrive in deception. The recommendations have to do with police brutality and national human rights but zombies took the headlines and started polluting the thread with zombiism

hold it, have you check other media outlets to confirm the story? even the presidential spokesman has it on his social media accounts.

That you dislike the President does not mean you should post out of reason.

In summary, you are lying. State Police was mentioned. I know you are pained!

some Nigerians don't understand English again. The Pastor said stop the attacks, but in Nigeria a lot of us think when you are criticized, you are being attacked Reason they feel the man is saying stop criticizing the President

lexy2014:
Am not aware of a time when charlatans ran d NASS. If ever they did, I don't no what has changed cos d culture in NASS hasn't changed since 1999.

There was a bill on d floor of d senate and d house of rep 4 state and community police in 2018/2019. D bill wasn't sponsored by d executive. It was sponsored by d legislators. So ur claim of "being a stumbling block to policies be elected for them to score cheap political points", doesn't arise

Right, so let's see how the next legislature will continue from there especially the returnees.

micgray100:
FFK is right.. I don't see Buhari approving state or local govt police.. My reason is that.. The Fulani agenda will stop automatically.. And remember he is a grand patron of meyeti Allah.. They won't forgive him if he accepts that..
Even atiku self may change his mind if he enters.. Our politicians are full of fools who only promises when they need your votes...

It is well.. My signature trend talks about company registration.. Done more than 200 jobs for our fellow nairalanders.

with your kind of statement, i can't do business with you. Your emotional intelligence is low

now we know those who truly don't want restructuring, they are coming out one by one

specter:
You have sense. PMB can't wake up on morning and ulter Constitutional provisions with a fiat. We are no longer in a Military regime. Hence, the phrase approval. Will connotes he has approved the recommendation for State/LG police which has become a dire need because of the current security situation in the country.

This will now proceed to the next stage which entails a bill been sent to the NA assembly and same will be passed by 2/3 of the 36 states.

The issue is will the state houses approve LG autonomous policing?

That is what we should be discussing as proactive youths of our great country.

It's still a long walk to freedom, but it's my believe we will get there.

An act will need to spell out their respective criminal jurisdiction and powers.

and this is also when we will know whether those clamouring for restructuring are truly serious or not. Some months back many house of rep members mainly from pdp came out to the public to declare that they are ready to pass any bill for restructuring

Now we will see whether they were joking or not. It will also be nice to hear from atiku and his gang using restructuring as campaign tools

lexy2014:
He is right. There is a police act which recognises d police as federal. 4u to have state police, d president just can't unilaterally "approve" state police. It has 2go thru d national assembly so that there will b laws 2 that effect. Right now d constitution doesn't recognise state police& d president isn't above d constitution 2 change a section of d constitution by "approval".

that is why the election of principal officers for the national assembly must not be scuttled this time around. The opposition won't mind that those who will be a stumbling block to policies be elected for them to score cheap political points.

it's left to Nigerians whether to allow or not charlatans to run the legislature

Kyase:
It will still affect the nation at large

NO, cos they can no longer pass the buck to Abuja. It will be evident to all that the Governors and states govt are the real fraud in Nigeria there by making folks to take state Govt elections more seriously

9jaRealist:
The BRT is still being financed by Skye Bank...
And in fact, Primero recently issued new corporate bonds through Skye to purchase new buses.

Nevertheless, there is no major city in the world without some form of subsidized public mass transportation (including bus) system. The primary aim of the Bus Reform Initiative is to upgrade bus transportation in Lagos metropolis by gradually replacing the Danfo buses (and/or ultimately relegating them only to unserved minor routes outside of the main traffic corridors), and hopefully get more middle-class Lagosians to use buses more frequently and cars less frequently. These buses will also run on CNG and thus will be more environmentally-friendly.

does skye bank still exist?

Deadlytruth:
It however takes a listening president to bow to superior ideas from his VP. That is the difference between Buhari and all the other presidents we have had since 1999.

Agreed, but if you have a dumb VP ko? I no mention name o!

CaptainMitch:
That's a board appointment, he made his money by directly taking monies meant for NIMASA, You don't know him in person I have known him since 2010,he is a born again Christain.

it's not a board appointment, it's an executive position appointed by the President. And Please don't make me laugh by saying he is a born again christian. Those of us who know him well are not surprised. Some people sef will be laughing at your post now

farem:
At last PMB has come to term with his tenacious VP- Yemi Osinbajo

The VP is the engine behind this regime but lot of folks are just too ignorant of his brilliant inputs.

Kyase:
Our Governors go use them wreck havoc on opposition

that will be a state problem and not a national matter

theenchanter:
lol, i doubt if power can be decentralized to states, the necessary thing has been done already. Decentralizing d sector into gencos, tcn and discos is enough.

My opinion.

are you aware that if any state generates more than 5 mega watts, they must upload it directly to the national grid? Where is this done in any federating country in the world.

The Power issue is far from being solved dear, It's just a matter of time, PMB go reach there very soon.

Next should be decentralization in the power sector so states can generate enough power capacity for their needs, with this we are game!

Then the true enemies of this country will now begin to expose themselves!

tactius:
Don't like state police for 2 reasons

1.Funding...who is going to fund the state police?? (Don't tell me it is the Federal Government).

At the end of the day, TAXES are going to go up to fund the state police.

2 Tribalism. Especially in states with multiple tribes, and states that have settlers from outiside (And don't tell me it won't happen).

Are states govt not funding the police already in their respective states?

And as for tribalism, that will be the problem of the states and not a national problem. Truth be told, boko haram in the north east and banditry in the north west are local problems and not national problems so let the states deal with it. Reason folks must elect brainy guys as governors and not dumb skulls

CaptainMitch:
Liar, you don't know him, he only acted as NIMASA DG for 2 days

He was Executive Director, Labour and Cabotage, NIMASA for some years so I know what am saying. He like egunje wella!

PMB seems to be looking into the constitutional conference report done by the GEJ regime. This is the restructuring the ohanezes, afenifere have been shouting for, I hope they can swallow their pride and begin to commend PMB.

I knew PMB was up to something when NFIU brought out guidelines on LG allocation funds going directly to the local governments and I suspected that he was beginning to consider the confab report done before his first tenure.

It's left to all Nigerians to support this move if they truly love this country.

Damentia:
Misplaced priority.....their are more important things to us as a nation than state police, while can't this administration just focus on reviving the economy.

you guys are unbelievable, have you guys not been clamouring for restructuring?

hope this won't reduce the buses on the other passengers daily routes they ply o! those buses are the real deal mhen!

this life sha, can't count the number of meetings with my former organisation I have attended with this man as chair in his hey days at NIMASA. The man like egunje no be small so not surprised!

philip0906:
Lol...If anyone had put this same justification for Buhari would you have accepted?

you dey mind the hypocrite?

, only failures give excuses

yarimo:
Not governor of kebbi state, but YOBE state

thanks for the correction

Chai liver don fail this man

Kennydoc:
Yet Lawan and Gbajabiamila are candidates of APC leaders. Why were people being asked to step down and some others endorsed by the leadership? Why can't all interested people be allowed to slug it out?
Even Sanwo-Olu who is the governor of Lagos today had power given to him on a platter.

Is anyone saying no one should contest? the fear of loosing is always the reason you guys cry foul
You see where you guys missed it? will you also say all the SE Governors were given power on a platter too?

Fashola Part 2!

Akaujaa:
In a private sector, Oshiomole will be adjudged incompetent and will be summarily dismissed. You assumed office and inherited 20 states and under your care, 6 of the states disappeared to the opposition. What do we call that?

Benue, Adamawa, Bauchi, Imo, Oyo and Zamfara all gone with Oshiomole at the helm. No, that's unacceptable. If he was my staff, I'll sack him.

it would have been worse if oyegun was chairman. Oshiomole's sin is his insistence that the party's rules be followed to the letter enforcing party's supremacy. The Governors want to dictate and set their own rules against that of the party.

PMB is the major problem as he is not a party man!

just shows the amount of work done by both former Governors and how much attention to details they have. No surprises here.
