But why does the Governor of a state feel powerless if he is the first security office of a state? Why are they not using Governor's powers to quel insecurity in their state. Eg:
Providing Logistical & Financial Support: Governors utilize unbudgeted funds known as "security votes" to buy vehicles, communication gear, and provide allowances for federal security agencies operating in their jurisdiction.
Giving Lawful Directions: Under Section 215(4) of the Constitution, a governor can give lawful directives to the state's Commissioner of Police to maintain public safety, though this is often subject to approval from the Inspector-General of Police in Abuja.
Requesting Federal Intervention: When security threats (such as banditry or severe communal clashes) escalate beyond the capacity of local police, governors must request intervention and troop deployments from the President and Commander-in-Chief.
More incompetent and corrupt people are waiting for their turn to go there and make matters worse.
The incompetence begins from the person appointing them, especially when the appointments are not based on merit and no-nonsense leadership.
Put someone like Late. Gen. Idiagbon or Murtala of old, and watch insecurity and terrorism end in less than a month.
Even the current IGP is as useless, clueless and corrupt as his predecessor... If not even worse.
Professionalism diminishes the moment a junior officer in a lower cadre is selected as the head or chief thereby retiring a large number of experienced senior officers in the Armed forces.
Lately, I have been traumatized. Like so depressed. My fiancee and I have been together for over 2 years and we've been planning to take the next step,which is our marriage arrangements.
But recently,I have noticed how she has been distancing herself from me. Though we had a little quarrels not quite long ago,but I really wanted to settle things up. And unfortunately, before I could calm things up,I noticed she had blocked me on Whatsapp.
Now,the pain in me,is that I've tried to talk to her,but she seems like who doesn't want to listen to me and it's really hitting hard on me.
This is someone who has always been toxic and disrespectful to me,but whenever I try t walk away completely from her,i always find myself going back to her. And I'm so tired and fed up with the whole thing.
I have tried to walk away,like forget about everything we've together in the past but the healing process hasn't been easy. I really want my peace of mind back. Please,has anyone been in this kind of situation before? How did you navigate yourself through it. Please,help a brother in need.
My brother, you are the one in love, she is looking for survival. Whatever you are doing is not survival enough for her. Wake up and move ahead
ErnestNc: My ex opened up to me about why we had friction in our relationship.
We spoke from 1 am til 4, reminiscing about everything that played out and I got the closure I needed. She wants back, but I don't have the stomach for it, especially for someone who unintentionally repels love.
She actually said she was scared of loving me deep because she wasn't used to being loved, assured and shown security in a relationship. She's dated 8 men in the past and I'm her 9th. Was treated way worse cuz she was scared of the way I loved selflessly . She was tasting something new for the first time. Every guy she encountered played her cunningly and brutally. The other men got the best treatments and the strength and fruit of her youth while I got unforgiveness, malice, silent treatment and unresolved conflicts with little or no investment from her.
It confirms everything redpill teaches. Never be the hero in her story or the knight that tries to save a woman . A nice guy will always finish last or be used and dumped by a lady. Never invest in a woman , truly. You'll get nothing but punishment. You'll pay for her past.
Put yourself first !
She is looking for survival, whilst you are looking for love according to gehgeh...there is a mismatch
Parachoko: Let's let's see if Obidients will claim the whole North won't support Obi because some set of people are burning his posters in Kano state
Looks like social engineering...instead of snatching ballot box, social engineer their supporters before election. Another political strategy... everything is on the table
Watch moment Peter Obi announced the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, as his presidential running mate for the 2027 general elections on the NDC platform after he (Peter Obi) was affirmed as the Presidential Candidate.
Only 2 leaders built UAE to what it is currently. Nigeria has had 16 leaders yet they still haven't been able to build Nigeria
Segunbabba: Leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and running mate to the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed confidence that Peter Obi will emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential election.
Kwankwaso made the declaration on Friday during the affirmation of consensus aspirants of the party in Kano State, describing the process as a demonstration of unity and internal democracy within the party structure
He said the emergence of consensus candidates across constituencies reflected strong cohesion among party members, noting that the exercise was conducted peacefully despite the large number of aspirants in several areas. According to him, some constituencies had more than 10 aspirants, but stakeholders were able to reach agreement through consensus building.
“I’m talking about Peter Obi. He will be flying our flag, and by the grace of God, on May 29, exactly one year from now, he will have been sworn in as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Kwankwaso said. He commended party leaders, elders and supporters in Kano State for ensuring a smooth selection process across all constituencies, describing the outcome as a product of cooperation and political maturity.
At the event, former Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Abdulsalam Gwarzo, was affirmed as the party’s governorship candidate, while Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna emerged as the senatorial candidate for Kano Central. Other candidates were also affirmed for the House of Representatives, State House of Assembly and various senatorial districts ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Kwankwaso appreciated members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, the CRC, Lafiya Jari groups and the New Nigeria Peoples Party for their support and commitment throughout the exercise.
Earlier, the chairman of the party’s primaries committee, Mainasara Abubakar Sani, commended the conduct of the exercise, describing it as peaceful and well-organised. Speaking after his affirmation, Gwarzo pledged to run an inclusive and open-door administration if elected governor in 2027, while urging youths to remain committed to the party’s objectives ahead of the polls.
It is too early to be talking of swearing in when you have not talked about how to make people vote...last elections, thugs went to scatter many election centers.
What is being done to prevent reoccurrence?
How do you prevent thugs from chasing voters away from election grounds and snatching ballot box
🇳🇬 JUST IN: Abducted school principal releases fresh distress video, says kidnappers have selected a victim for execution as captives plead for urgent rescue.

So DSS or department of military intelligence or National security adviser cannot officially and clandestinely as a matter of National security instruct X to release the gps coordinates of the location where that video was first uploaded to their server?
Does he know anything called "diplomacy" or he just hell bent on destroying the world?
Democracy my ass...
Is it democratic to threaten sovereign Nation, and cease an elected leader?
I know his supporters will not find anything wrong with this until it is directed at them.
I wish my President can threaten South Africa like this...stop killing my people or I will come and blow things up there if South Africans don't behave
