You are trying to change the narration. Stick to your initial argument. You said entire security apparatus of a state should be handed over to governors. Nobody does that; not even in the United States. And I insist you are ignorant. You don't have to agree with me. It is just a fact. You are very very ignorant. Bye

You are the one that is ignorant. Because if you are not ignorant you won't be asking for just intelligence gathering alone.

We are saying the states should be made to be able to solve crime cases themselves. Not waiting alone for the FG. And if need be,they can call on the FG. Even countries collaborate.

But instead of empowering states to be able to fund its own security because security is local. Have a stand by and efficient police force. I mean the budget of new York state police budget is bigger than the entire budget of Nigeria.

But instead of calling for that,you ignorant person is asking that they should only be able to do intelligence gathering while they will still have to call on the federal police that is inefficient before they can do anything.

Don't you see you ignorance is raise to power 100?

Bluna:
And I say you are ignorant. Security has nothing to do with your emotions. You are sounding too emotional. Nowhere in the world the whole security of a state is handed over to governors. It is rather a collaborative efforts between local, state and federal security agencies. Learn and stop arguing blindly.

It is you that is ignorant. Very very ignorant. Because if you are not you will know New York doesn't wait for the FBI before storming a crime scene because they have an NYPD.

That US doesn't have an inspector General of police who policies the entire nation where a commissioner of police reports to

You my friend is the G.O.A.T of ignorance and the greatest ignorant person I have ever seen on this forum

You can keep on talking to yourself

Bluna:
Your opinion about intelligence gathering tells a lot about your ignorance. FBI, CIA, KGB and many others are intelligence agencies. You don't always have to carry bombs and guns before you fight criminals. Intelligence is very very crucial. It is the bedrock of antiterrorism operations.

I said "nothing concern us with intelligence gathering ALONE". That is exactly what I'm saying

What is the essence of intelligence gathering alone when you can't go and capture them or storm their hideout without still waiting for federal police that will still wait to hear from Abuja

We are asking let the security of lives and properties be handed over to the Govornor 100percent. He can purchase whatever he wants for his state in terms of security of lives and properties. Is that not how it is done in Europe and America

Why is that hard to do? Why?

Instead of that you dey talk English

Nonsense

Bluna:
Even if their function is restricted to intelligence gathering only (to start with), it will still go a long way in curbing insecurities. The laws can be amended later to broaden their functions and permit them to use sophisticated weapons. Amotekun in the southwest is already a good benchmark for state policing. Let's take it up from there.

Nothing concern us with intelligence gathering alone. Even in the US intelligence fails. We are saying the security of lives and properties of a state should be placed directly in the hands of the Govornor where he will be able to invest in security and order his police anywhere and anyhow to safe the lives of his residents

And if they want to pass it into law this month,the FG can do it and not all these dilly dally..

What has he done to contact the fg?
Why is he just visiting after three weeks?

"What has he done to contact the fg' that is what we are saying ,we should stop saying what we don't know. That place since the very first day it happened had been a sort of mini Military outpost swimming with soldiers. Abi na Seyi order soldiers go there?

"Why is he visiting after three weeks". No it's two weeks. The Deputy Govornor visited the very following day it happened,maybe they thought it might have been resolved before now as you can see in the last video the terrorists uploaded where the woman was begging that the terrorists are angry as they that security forces are closing in on them. That they should please not use force.

The question you should answer the FG is this. Why is it that,when a random person in the very corner corner of Nigeria abuses the president or alleges him of something. He can be picked up. But rag tag terrorists cannot be picked up and they are putting the country at ransom

Ohh I forgot,they are ribadu's "disgruntled brothers" there goes your answer

Incognito403:
Oyo state government isn't any less irresponsible than the FG.

What should the state government do o Jere

Seyi should order soldiers there right? Abi? Abeg tell me I don't know

After 2 weeks,this us very poor from tinubu,there are so many people around the president that needs to go.....what happened to making this kidnapping incident the most trending news in the country with live updates from the very epi center,Nigerians seeing troops being mobilised with a temporary base with a command and control center......people seeing movements into the forest,with helicopters hovering and drones showing surveillance footage with atleast 2 daily updates by state and security officials......this would give Nigerians a sense of security and believe the govt is really concerned about their safety but what do we get,rather belated response,visits and photo ops with empty promises that elicits no hope in the people.

You are now talking. You see what I was saying yesterday. The federal govt isn't sincere in tackling insecurity at all. All they are doing is politicking

P.S Oyo is at the front burner because Oyo is saying we don't want this again in any part of our state and that this will not and must not repeat itself again

Hope you know,some children too were kidnapped in Borno state too? But we are not talking about that because it has turned to a normal thing there but here we won't accept that at all

Remind me again what are the characteristics of a failed NATION?

These are one of them.

The people who were on the streets yesterday carrying Jonathan's effigy and coffin,those who played politics with insecurity because they wanted to win in 2015, today they are crying and claiming bullying when they did worst in 2014/2015.

Truly the table has turned..

Yes it is the opposition. The same way the opposition did in 2014/15 when they wanted to grab power

Happy now?

All these tinubu supporters who get angry over abuse or whathaveyou is funny sha

The last time I heard there is freedom of speech,if anybody abuses you,abuse him back. As long as he no touch you.

Seyi Law is a supporter of tinubu and he abuses back those who abuse you,it is that simple.

If not for hypocrisy,You people should not be complaining of abuse or bullying. The bullying you did to GEJ and his supporters in 2014/15 is unimaginable. People who carried a coffin of GEJ,what does that mean? That he should die. Nobody has even called for tinubu to die sef.

Or the use of insecurity to run him out of town. Playing politics with human lives just because you want to grab power

Now today the table as turned and you are crying over bullying. If anybody bullies you, abuses you,abuse him back

Lobatan.

Kilo kan e keyamo.

Na your ticket?

Na you be GEJ?

Falana gbo ti e..

That means na wetin the APC did for Jonathan too be that with shetti Bobo at the helms of affairs then

Isn't it?

Lithiumite:
You will get your state police certainly we all want it but that cant be before the next election because the logistics and administrative chaos will be a disaster......you need an enabling framework to effectively set up law enforcement units in a state and you need funding,even if you claim oyo is capable, several other states arent,the fg needs to find a way to balance this out and thats no easy task that can be enabled by mere presidential Fiat.

The FG is just footdragging and it is all because of politics. Everything tinubu wanted to do he has always done so why is this being footdragged? He has the more than majority in the house,all he needed to do is to send the bill to the house and it will be voted and granted and areas where there will be issues will be deliberated on

But almost 4 years in his administration nothing is being done. Trump might be a crazy fellow,but he is pushing forward to his agendas and plans 100 percent without being bothered about who's ox is gored

So what are we saying? It is all because the president isn't serious and does not want to offend the North while playing politics with human lives.

A whole 4years doing nothing when it is first term they tend to try and do things while their second term for most is majorly for frivolities

Tjra:
He would be lucky to get 500 votes.

Very useless governor. There is insecurity in his domain yet he is fooling around.

Yes naa. He won't even get 100 votes sef

Satisfied now?

Oselu pelu iro.
Something wey you go collect

Lithiumite:
In your mind are you saying oyo state is well secured whats emergency response time,os ut 300 vehicles you will use for your state police,security is serious business......however, don't get me wrong,I am not saying the oyo incident falls within the purview of the kidnap incident tinubu deserves the blame but you cannot also absolve the govs they deserve to be blamed too.

300 vehicles is a good start. Vehicles fully fitted with communication gadgets ni o.
Before now they didn't have anything working. Coupled with Amotekun is over 500 with two helicopters just purchased to arrive in June

Even with the impediments of the constitution,Oyo is doing well. It is still better than none. With no state policing Seyi and late Akeredolu tried to set up Amotekun to help pending the time state police will be granted. It is so simple. You are talking as if nothing is being done at all yet they are still incapticated. They can't buy AK7's or better ammunitions. Malami didn't even want Amotekun at all. They dragged it back and forth

Which region in Nigeria as a sort of mini state police like the SW yet you are saying this and that. Let tinubu do the right thing and give state policing. That is what will solve insecurity . People will leave any state that is not secure and the blame for insecurity will be on the steps of the Govornor. Not these ones they are just figureheads chief security officers

Lithiumite:
The article you posted quoted that vehicles were given to amotekun and other security agencies.....lets even agree without conceding, is it only buying vehicles......why are you the mouth piece of the oyo givt,let them come out and show us what they have done lets judge......how many amotekun security post are in that village where the incident happened,how many surveillance equipments,how many vehicles?

Security isn't all about buying vehicles,its far beyond that,what's the operational capabilities of the amorekun,can you put them at lar with the rrs in Lagos.......what is the security situation report from amotekun since this incident happened? They are visibly not on ground......the simple truth my friend is that majority of the govs are hugely underperforming in the area of security.

In one breath you will say it isn't about vehicles,in another breath it is about asking what is this and that in the village. You need to be focused one one point and stop beating around

The truth of the matter is that Govornors are just chief security officers of their state on paper. And that is the truth. Even with that,I don't know of other state o,in Oyo the security agencies are well funded and it is in public you should Google it.

Oyo police have gotten more than 300 vehicles since 2019. And a purchase of two helicopters which is currently being assembled at the Airforce in Lagos. You can Google it. Still yet,the Govornor cannot still order the police around. They have to get orders from Abuja. That is what we are saying is wrong

The Govornors are like a Man with no teeth and you give him meats to chop. You want to solve insecurity,give us state police then you can blame the Govornor of any state. But for now,all the Govornors can do is to furnish the national police who still won't take orders from them until from Abuja yet Abuja is currently playing politics with insecurity

P.S. I guess you have forgotten an episode of a police officer in public embarrassing Sanwo Olu and telling him he doesn't take orders from him. He even told him he can't call his boss that he can only give the Govornor his boss number for he Govornor to call his boss and then his boss will call him. Were you not in Nigeria then or you didn't see it?

If such can happen in public do you know which will happen in private? So leave sentiments apart and tell tinubu to do the right thing as that is what can solve insecurity and not this current one we are doing

Lithiumite:
100 vehicles,what vehicles,26 years old tokunbo sienna's or JMC Chinese pick ups not upto 20m a piece.....i was expecting to see pics,you think securing a state is all about buying vehicles....oyo has a population of about 9m.joker abeg go and sit down somewhere.

You are the one that is a joker and should cover your face in shame. . I thought you said they are underfunded? I showed you real time funding you are now crying. Show me any Amotekun in the SW tht is as funded as that of Oyo state? Show me and I'll give you 100K today today

Even members of the APC card carrying APC folks in Oyo know that he has done excellently well in terms of funding Amotekun and the police force. Not to even talk of the police. Amotekun got over 400bikes as startup and currently over 200 trucks for Amotekun. Note, I'm not talking about the police o..let's not talk about them yet

But you joker,who claims Amotekun is not funded,who is not on ground in Oyo,be crying here.

I have told you,show me a state in the SW,that has funded their force as much as Oyo and I will give you 100K today

Your time starts NOW!

Lithiumite:
What has makinde done to boost security in oyo state beyond establishing amotekun which is grossly underfunded and ill equipped........pls answer that,i even heard the entire oyo state only has about 74 police stations .

The gov goes to sleep every night and leaves all his citizens unprotected,trouble happens he then starts ro point to Abuja......what are the govs doing with their security votes.....how many amoyekun corp are regimented in that lga,how many operational vehicles,communication equipments,weapons,surveillance equipments? How many did makinde provide......somebody that cant fund ordinary amotekun wants to start state police and obidients are hailing him.

This was the first time he bought 100 trucks for Amotekun. 100. No other state in the SW does.

This was in 2022. And he has bought another 100 again last year making 200 trucks. Not to talk of bikes and not to talk of the ones for the police. I'm just giving you appetezier o. But I get una time small today. Just small appetizer. Make you open your mouth and bring out lies again. Plenty talk dey ground o. This is not the era of propaganda o..

I'm waiting make I hear any opata from your mouth again o

We won’t allow you losers. Take that to the bank

Everything to you is Igbo this, Yoruba that. I'm just telling you no be only Igbo,even hausas have in Lagos.

However I believe it should be a Nationwide thing when we remove indigienship from our constitution. If we can't do that,let everybody go their separate ways cos we are too tribalistic

Even in state tertiary institutions,there is indigiene fee and non indigiene fees. The arrant discrimination

Anyways to your tents O Israel everybody should go

Stale, bring out your facts as others have brought theirs.

Which one have I written up there that is lies? That Sanwo Olu was in Ibadan times without number for the creation of Amotekun

That Sanwo Olu even sent a bill to the house for it's creation. The house passed it into law sent it back to Sanwo Olu to sign and he didn't sign till date.

https://guardian.ng/issue/operation-amotekun-yet-to-formally-take-off-in-lagos-one-year-after/

If they don't want Amotekun,why did he join it's creation. If they don't want Amotekun,why did he send it to the house of assembly for creation and the house passed into law while waiting for the Govornor to sign it into law which he didn't do up till date because his Godfather doesn't want it because he doesn't want to offend his northern masters and prefers to play politics with the lives of his people

Isn't it?

Image123:
you probably didn't read. Lagos never needed Amotekun as they already had neighborhood watch. Tinubu was the one that advised the other states on how to get Amotekun and get the nod of the then FG.

If Seyi Makinde had any sense of seriousness and responsibility for his state, he wouldn't be playing politics. Wike never needed Amotekun or any regional group to clear out nonsense. He wasn't doing begibegi or playing helpless that he didn't get help from Buhari.

This was how Wike dealt with ipob and other kidnappers in RIVERS STATE, even then that he was Buhari’s nemesis.. but

You APC data boys and girls will not seize to amaze me. Lagos doesn't need Amotekun but was a signatory to the creation of it? Maybe you don't know Sanwo Olu was in Ibadan with other SW Govornors times without number during the creation of Amotekun. Yet Lagos doesn't need it. If they don't why did they join?

Why did they sign to it's creation? Why? Comparing Amotekun to Lagos neigbourd watch is funny. Those ones that are like traffic police? Lmao.

The truth of the matter is this, I don't know of any other state,But Oyo Amotekun is the most funded and they are doing well. We already have a sort of mini state police and if tinubu is sure of himself and wants to nip terrorism in the bud,he should grant state Police and stop playing politics with human lives.

An Oyo that shares border with Benin Republic needs more security than having just 74 police station statewide. We do not want terrorists in our region. If he is truly not an omo ale,he should do the right thing and save his region and stop crying obi everyone and then

"with at least 30 states unable to pay workers,"

Abeg which 30 states were unable to pay workers in 2023 abeg I wan know.

Even right now there are still states that still owe pensions and gratuities in billions of naira and owes contractors anyhow

These yeye people think we are still in the era of the print media where they throw lies unchecked

You bulabalu supporters should talk about the 30 states that could not pay salaries in 2023
