If the SS minorities had their own standing police force they would have resisted Ojukwu's invasion.

Personally, I hold the opinion that Nigeria isn't ripe enough yet for state police.


Nigerians like to run from pillar to post without trying to put efforts into making things work.


We like to abandon ideas and start a fresh with a different one simply because the old one wasn't working. It's a trial and error approach.


The Nigerian police has a lot of problems - corruption, under funding, lack of equipments for communication, proper ammunitions, lack of training, under payed force/men with very deplorable living conditions, shortage of personal (half of who are body guards to politicians and big men) and a whole plethora of other problems.


Solve these existing problems in the Nigerian police and see if they won't be changed in the way they operate instead they abandon the Nigerian police to it's fate and rush to create state police that would face the same or worse ordeal than what the federal police currently faces.


The lawmakers in the Senate I don't know why they won't do their Jobs properly by having extended debates on sensitive issues like this instead of rubber stamping just because the president wants something done and it sounds good an idea. Just because it sounds like a good idea don't mean it's a good idea.


State police is one of those things that sounds like a good idea on paper but would prove to be a terrible idea in implementation.


I would have preferred the federal police was restructured, funded, trained, reorganized, properly staffed, better equipped and massively overhauled to make it more efficient for now.


State police can come much more later!

Kemetian:
Fair points.

However, the difference between the 1960s and today is that back then it was 3 powerful regions, where a disruption in one region was enough to threaten the stability of the federation.

In our 36 state structure of today, no state has that clout or power to scuttle the federal system due to whatever is happening within its territory. Not even Lagos state.

Power is so decentralised today, and the society far more educated, digitally connected, wealthy and sophisticated than say South Sudan or 1960s Nigeria, with far more to lose if things go haywire, that it all acts as a natural restraint to excesses.

We'll be just fine.

Oh, finally we have the unifying factors of Abuja and Lagos.

Nobody wants to be in a 'new country' that would render them foreigners in Nigeria's 2 greatest megacities.

The strength of our right arm.

You haven't proved anything wrong with the State Police apart from the unfounded fear that non-indigenes will not get Justice from it.
State Police can't detain anyone beyond 48hrs and if one is not satisfied, he can appeal the handling of the case to Federal Police.

How do non-indigenes get Justice from Sthe tate Judiciary?

Difrent:
Lawyers and courts don finish for Nigeria

Abi you think say state police will mean no more Federal laws in the states
Or no more Federal high court?
A Yoruba trader in Enugu will simply go to a federal court that will protect them

You no get any point

Shouldn't igboland be the ones championing this cause cos of the insecurity in the region?

Oh I've forgotten they don't believe there's insecurity in the east, they all believe it's the FG that's creating insecurity even though it's Son Ekpa and Nnamdi kanu that's directing their lives from prison

WizardOfNG:
Because they are covetous expansionist and land grabber always desperate to commandeer the asset, land, riches and political/public administration rulership over others anywhere they go , if allowed, be that Ghana, South Africa or SW Nigeria.

Meanwhile what they are always trying to gain in the land of others they will never let other sniff in their native SE.

@Topic.
State/regional policing is a must. We have a governance system that is the near mirror image of that of the USA that has hosted State policing from time immemorial.

Even the UK, with parliamentary system of governance, has County policing covering counties of the UK. Eg Metropolitan police (London), Essex police, Sussex police etc, etc, etc.

We cannot continue as things stand. Insecurity is too much and it is obvious this is so because our toxic ethnic difference and dislike of each other means the NPF will never perform optimally even if she has a million members.

Guestmale:
So because state police didn't work more 50 years ago won't work now,do we have the same scenario of 1960s in 2025. We knew what causes 1966 civil war not state police.

Guestmale:
As it's now security should be their utmost priority,the other time their governor was crying he knew the location of the bandits or terrorists through his phone but he couldn't do anything because the fg security on ground are awaiting order from Abuja before taking action.

nairalanda1:
Good post

Also, let's be honest, most states won't be able to fund the state police properly

Take zamfara. They need a well equiped state police with special forces and even something approaching military level because banditry. Can they afford it?

san4P:
Thank you for reminding us...

History is good because it helps the wise not to repeat the mistakes of the predecessors... State police is a bad idea at a bad time...

For Nigeria to progress... it has to be one united people with one constitution...

You budgeted 1Trillion for a project funded by the contractor

Easy way to become a witch

Just swear to whatever not to see the progress of your own country, lobatan.

How can some people do just because their principal loss in a contested election, the person wey come third oo and ever since they never wish the best for the country.

It's time for FG to consider banning any association with the name of Obidients.

We can't continue to be shying away about their bitterness, hatred and their evil wishes towards the progress and development of Nigeria

Toju200:
the perhaps the drone got there in time and then what
It will do nothing
Would you want to carry out airstrikes and take out civilians too
Our problem isn't the location of the hostages but getting them out "Safely" without civilian casualties and use of kinetics chances are like 30-20% success

Tel me one American citizen kidnapped in the Niger Delta in the last 5 years not two just one.

Please.

SerPounce:
Thanks for your response. When you say detailed statement, do you mean the one they share when I use the “send to embassy” feature on their website as opposed to the statement I can print out from their page?

iamrichiefola:
I just check my Stanbic IBTC Equity Fund (after a long time of not checking) only to find out that there have been losses. I checked just now and noticed more loss.

Would you advise I pull out my money or just watch it for some time?

[b][/b]PS: More than half of the interest accrued over time is gone

SerPounce:
Hello House,

Was wondering if anyone has been able to use their AXA money market fund account as POF for tourist visa application or Express Entry POF. I’m considering moving some funds from a traditional savings account to the AXA MMF because of the higher interests. Was wondering if it’s accepted as a valid POF document for the two needs stated above.

I’m particular about AXA as I already use them but want to go all in. Thanks.

You dey craze well well. Nigeria paid salaries of Ghana soldiers? can you post your evidence so the whole world will see it? You are just a fooolish liar. You better focus on nigeria and nigerians. what nigerians need is food, electricity, security and a future for their children and families.

Today, Nigerians don't have food, they don't have security, they don't have electricity. they don't even have a future for their children and their families. and you are here talking like a f00l?
