bro, that is not what I asked you.

1. how are state police and LG autonomy the game changers that would steer us towards wholistic development?

2. if you say governors are inept, is it state police and LG autonomy that will now make competent?

3. what makes nigeria defective? is it lack of state police and LG autonomy?

4. what are the things that need to be changed for our own good?

Well done bot!!

It's on record that Nigeria faired best when we practiced regionalism as against what we have now.....even LG chairmen would point fingers at abuja for not being able to provide basic education or primary health care......more responsibility means more resources and thats what LG autonomy seeks to solve.

Our security architecture has been parlous over the years due to inefficient command structures....domesticate security and let the people be in charge of their security which they have been doing in many parts of Lagos already.....the dpo to the nearest division in my area isn't even known to many and has no link what so ever with the locality....how do you get such to be committed to his duty.

Wawu, I never knew the poor don't use petrol or cars until I see this your post, APC urchins will never cease to amaze me with the extent of their support and propaganda.
Meanwhile, can you explain how all the rice Tinubu has distributed since he came into office has reduced inflation as we are now.

You pay more for owning private cars as against public transport.....if fuel isn't taxed and too affordable it would lead to misuse and waste.....many people are now adjusting to using public transport and ride sharing also work from home initiatives are being introduced across various organisations which as been been proven not to diminish productivity at all.

Noisy generators use in residential areas are on the decrease and power is slightly improved......their is far more efficient use of energy now and transport infrastructure which is a good thing.

The rice initiative if the govt though not the best approach is just a stop gap till we are able to improve on our food production.

Lol.... they have come again with this rice rubbish, I wonder how this will better the lives of the masses.

This administration is totally clueless and Nigerians won't get anything meaningful from it.

If prices of staple food can come down inflation itself would come down.....make food available to the people in abundance then tax other secondary needs properly such as petrol,private cars, alcohol and luxury items tax the rich heavily to sustain the poor!!

You help me with this....is Nigeria working the way it is currently structured

Why would a state gov not be able to pay 70k minimum wage.

You can call it distraction but I call it long Overdue.

I have been following politics since 1991 and I know the ideological stand of all the 3 presidential aspirants in the last election and I know this has always been what tinubu had been clamouring for when he was in opposition so I would rather support it because true federalism is the solution to our problems.

You are only spinning your own narrative to an imperative action that would set the ground norm for a great country we all seek just because I hate tinubu's face......it doesn't matter who does it so far it's what will augur well for us all,it's long over due .....with this policy,the power of Abuja will be greatly diminished and more responsibility given to states.

As for state that can't take on 70k minimum wage,I already told you that is a very lame escapist analogy by the lazy govs who want status quo to remain to their own benefit.....if you support them good luck to you!! No gov has no excuse not to pay 70k minimum wage......there will be a provision in the law that will make states start state policing when they are ready to,such states will still make use of the federal police buts states that can would be allowed to go ahead.
Hate tinubu all you want but he is one of the most purposeful politicians we have in the south alongside Wike,they are bold and have the political will to push anything they want unlike GEJ.....nobody can push them around remember it was Wike that brought up the vat matter,tinubu has brought lg autonomy and state police,this are what we need to set us on a pedestal for development no more Abuja controling what happens in your LGA.

Leave all this story, state police will not work in a country like Nigeria where an average citizen is very tribalistic.

If you are a Yoruba person living in a state in the south east and you have a dispute with an Igbo person who is an indigene and the case is taken to the state police they will automatically support their brother; the same thing would happen if an Igbo or Hausa person living in Yorubaland or another region has a case with a native of that area.

Then when it's time for election the incumbent governor will use the apparatus of state police to hound his political opponent.

Some of the state in Nigeria are not even economically viable and are having difficulty paying their civil servants and now you people want to add the salaries of state policemen to it.

Most of you people supporting creation of state police do not even fully understand the implications of what you are supporting!

Stop procrastinating......if you don't want it in Ur state I want it in mine.....we are no more ethno religiously bias than an average American.....there are class struggles still going on the developed world till today and there is also deep seated animosity and divide among races and ethnicities in america just as we have here but what keeps them in check are the strong institutions they have and that has evolved over centuries.....that also started from somewhere and didn't become perfect overnight.....we shouldn't be afraid to start too.

No doubt , some state Governors might misused it. But state police is a welcome development.
Nigeria is under police. So state police is necessary.

That's why I laugh at all this people always criticising tinubu for Nigeria's problems.....it's obvious they don't deep understanding understand of what our problems really are as a country and the sad thing is that they are in the majority and don't know anything about how development comes about.

Leaders with foresight is what we have been lacking as a country but this one seems to have the political will to right some wrongs we have been suffering for a long time......you have heard stories of certain tribes killing certain locals over land or livestock,the CP or gov can't act immediately to check them because they have to await directive from Abuja which may be delayed or may never come.....that's the problem we are facing with our current security architecture.

Govs for too long have been hiding under Abuja and pointing fingers to cover their own ineptitude now they are getting blown out of the water as more responsibility is being pushed to them,how can a gov say he can't pay 70k minimum wage and you agree with him,that's nothing but BS,if you aren't competent,leave the damn place for those who can.

I tell you,this policing move and LG autonomy are the game changers that would steer us towards wholistic development as a country especially the sub nationals......some regions are contributing so much to our GDP while some are doing absolutely nothing....we cant continue like this....... everything isn't tinubu,Buhari or Jonathan,Nigeria as a country is defective and we need to start changing things for our own good.

Then you aren't ready to solve Nigeria's problems.....the neo colonialist police establishment we currently run is absolutely dysfunctional and is one of the roots of our problems as a country.....Abuja controls everything,this needs to stop.....with state police locals would be the once doing the policing,they would reside in their domains with their families and would be properly vested in the locality......the reason our leaders get away with what they do is because yhey can easily run to abuja for protection over what is happening in ikor abassi but with this new approach thats no more.

[quote author= post=131869697]You are right from the perspective you are coming from also Mytime,
We believed that Our politicians are not civilised enough and tolerant of opposing views and cannot preside over a competent and impartial police force
Cos we remembered,
When in 2018 there was a summit to consider the establishment of State Police, there was a counter argument by the late Abubakar Tsav, a retired police commissioner, that the establishment of state police will signal the beginning of the disintegration of the country, as governors would use the institution against their perceived political opponents.
State and federal police commands are also likely to work at cross-purpose.

Our additional reasons of concern are that we have very serious ethnic and religious divides in the country at this time and many governors believe that if they have their own police, they can deal with the other.
For example, the pastoralists and farmers conflicts have been intensifying in many states and some governors have clear proclivities of seeking to expel or protect pastoralists in their states, opening the doors to a new dimension of identity conflicts that would deepen the crisis facing the Nigerian state today.

Some of us at MANNA remembered back then while growing up when we use to have regional/state police back in our darling country,
But, native police forces were abolished and they ceased to exist, beginning from February 1968. Nevertheless, existing personnel in these forces were recruited into the Nigerian Police Force as a unitary federal agency of the Nigerian government.
This structure has continued to the present day.

All said and done,
It will bring more good than bad.
There are much more merits in this than demerits.

A better Nigeria 🇳🇬 all around is all we want at MANNABBQGRlLLS.
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏
We Rise ✔️[/quote]State policing is the right way to go,infact every southerner should welcome this....this is true federalism taking shape.....no gov can use state police against the people as those who would be used would be locals in the states where everyone knows everyone..... security operatives would reside in their domains with their families,this wil bring about better synergy between the police and the people,they would be known by the people they are protecting.....the reason politicians get away with the malfeasance they commit is because they are far from the people and can easily run to abuja for protection but with yhis new approaches together with LG Autonomy,power is gradually coming to the people.
