Provide evidence to this claim of your's. Because I see no reason why the government is able to provide for NYSC corp members and won't be able to provide for the military.

Secondly there is a region in this country that has chosen not to be part of the Nigerian military deliberately. In the future, they will reap the fruit of their choice.

You that have chosen to be part of the Nigerian military, where has it taken you? Yeye empty talk

koxyz:
The moral lesson from this coalition is that Nigeria politicians are self centered and relevant seeking individuals.

Don't be deceive by sentiments, their coming together is not to better the course of this country but for their own personal selfish interest and benefits.

Don't bother yourself with that. At least we have seen where we have gotten through the selfless Tinubu's coming together in APC to unseat Jonathan. The question any right thinking person should be asking is if Nigerians can survive another 4years disaster of this government should Tinubu is smuggled back to Aso Rock in 2027

While the idea of state police sounds practical in theory—especially with the promise of local knowledge and quicker response times—it carries severe risks in Nigeria’s current political and institutional climate. The major concern is abuse of power by state governors. In a system where checks and balances are already weak, giving state governments control over armed forces could easily lead to political repression, targeted intimidation, and erosion of civil liberties.

Nigeria's political landscape is deeply divided along ethnic, religious, and party lines. Introducing state police in this context risks turning law enforcement into tools of ethnic or political enforcement, especially during elections or civil unrest. Vigilantes and local forces, while familiar with their communities, can also become extensions of political thugs, further escalating local conflicts instead of resolving them.

Moreover, the lack of standardized training, funding, and accountability mechanisms across states means some regions will have professional, disciplined forces, while others may descend into chaos or become militarized arms of state leaders.

Until Nigeria establishes robust institutional safeguards—like independent police oversight bodies, judicial reforms, and strong federal-state power balance—the move to state police could worsen insecurity by decentralizing corruption and repression rather than addressing the root issues.

Good. But the points you listed against state police are currently happening with the federal police structure being controlled from Abuja. Moreso, aside the governors using it for political benefits especially elections, there's nothing more they can use it for in the negative. Don't forget election is periodical too, so it means that at worst, insecurity could only happen in electioneering period? Remember also, that not all the governors will use it for politics in their state. But leaving it in the hand of the federal makes it worse off because terrorists and all forms of criminals could come into a state and wreck havoc, yet get federal protection like it's currently happening and during elections, the president uses it against his opponents both at the federal and state level.

Morbeta11:
His time is up....those that made it possible for him to be on that seat don hear nwiiii for his government...Tinubu is bad news.

Imagine nepotism at peak and someone thinks that any governance will happen from the moon?

Funny enough, his people would have been masturbating on other tribes if a quarter of this kind of appointment is made from elsewhere. One should not be surprised this is the kind of thing Awolowo would have done to the whole country if obj hadn't stopped him

IyaTola:
Imagine this being a state police, the abuse of human would be unimaginable

Challenges to Consider:

While the benefits are substantial, some concerns include:

Potential for abuse by state governors (e.g., using police against political opponents).

Risk of fragmentation and uneven standards across states.

Funding issues—not all states may have the resources to maintain a professional police force.


The creation of state police in Nigeria could significantly improve security, local governance, and public trust in law enforcement. However, to succeed, it must be implemented with strong legal frameworks, oversight mechanisms, and safeguards against political misuse.

The challenges you're complaining of are happening on a grand scale now with the president calling the shot.

But with state police which will be supplemented with vigilantes, everyone knows who is who in the state. If you want to compromise on security, it's either going to affect you or your relatives directly or otherwise.

There's no argument against state police that can stand the test of time with Nigeria's current situation

When they start repaying them now, people that are far away from the land will start foaming and tagging Ipob. Now, nobody is foaming for the victims right?

WowSweetGuy:
I'm not strong for anything recently. Please brothers and sisters pray for me. My body is failing me

What is happening to you?

Kkkllloddrffhhhbbhusa

Even though hotel rooms usually don't have installed CCTV, the reception area and hallway leading to the rooms should have cameras to monitor individuals and identify wanted persons, especially if the hotel truly doesn't know anything about the murder, as claimed

esnbrutality:
Sharp.

Everyone they hate wasn't a tribal Warlord.

They hated

Obasanjo
IBB
Abacha
ZIK

Their hate is embedded in their DNA.

It will be smashed totally...

The time is NOW.

Exactly. If you can't be tribal as a leader, they are going to hate you but would be the first to point out the same issues as reason to oppose leaders from other regions. I just don't like the fact that those of them behaving in that manner are in their majority including the supposed educated ones.

esnbrutality:
You can't shame the shameless.

The Military establishment of Northerners understood them totally.

That is why they Hate Abacha and IBB with passion. They only love BUHARI because of his hate towards their perceived enemies, especially IGBOs and their kin in the SS region.


Forget all their rants of being progressive. It's an illusion or facade to deceive the gullible people.

The present facts shows that TINUBU is hated more than BUHARI sef.

They can't pin their failures on IGBOs or IPOB or BIAFRA. They can't ral)y people to their corner again because they have been exposed as total failures.

SW through Tinubu has been exposed as empty barrels.

You have summarily captured it all

esnbrutality:
If Peter Obi was a YORUBA man and TINUBU was IGBO. Imagine what would have been said about their rulership styles, by RONU-bandits.

I thank GOD that the same People that supported a known failure like BUHARI are the same people who appreciate TINUBUs failure as Sophisticated leadership.


If Peter Obi was the current President with the economy in this situation. They would have converged at OJOTA with sponsored hooligans shouting themselves hoarse.

The shame of TINUBUs leadership makes BUHARI (a known failure) look like brilliance.

To imagine that people that support TINUBU claim to be educated and exposed.

Very pathetic.

But it's only leaders like GEJ that condone them when they gather for their useless protests. They tried it under IBB, Abacha cleared the street of their lazy propaganda..............


The whole race allowing everything they stood for, to go down because of one drug dunce. Just wonder how they would recover their name after all these

Of course. That's how a sensible person should see things.

Your people cannot afford education in your country yet you're giving scholarship abroad, what kind of insensitivity is that biko?

LegendHero:
Make e go use am become president nao since na by Twitter follower.

Make e dey govern for social media make we dey govern for Nigeria.

😂😂😂 "make we dey govern for Nigeria"...... Who are the we? Don't go and find something meaningful doing with your life, ebinpawa no dey finish for ya people mouth

Bosman17:
So the best way to protest is set ablaze palace and government institutions. Honestly, they need to catch some and jail for life!!!

If your relatives have been involved in the incessant and unabated killing and kidnapping, you'd have been humane to care less about palace and government institutions. What are palace and government institutions still doing when government can no longer perform its principal duty?

aswani:
The only people Ndi Yoruba want to leave ala Yoruba are those calling Lagos a "No man's land" and those denigrating Yorubaland in various ways

Also, no Ndi Yoruba doesn't like the all for Biafra, all that is being said is go through the right way to actualise your Biafra.

Get your representatives in Abuja to move the motion, don't come to Yorubaland to set buses on fire and destroy buildings as those actions have nothing to do with having Biafra as a country.

You need to ask your people questions. More than 95% of Igbos through Ojukwu and other leaders called for Biafra, your tribe was more than any other tribe that opposed it and till today, no tribe in Nigeria detests the call for Biafra like your people. You are still the one writing all the propaganda against the movement, yet you can't stand healthy competition with Igbos. In election, you issue threats to Igbos against participating yet you can't be happy to pray for their exit. Is it today that your people started opposing the call for Biafra that you are talking about our representatives? Ask your parents their main fear should Igbos exit, there's something they didn't tell you.

And when you eventually got the power to preside, what did you do? You left power in the same hands. You never avenged the evils of the past governments including the Odi massacre. You were just another Ironsi who was blindly sold to the deceptive one Nigeria.

You wasted your entire time that you had the opportunity to restructure things and finally in 2015, handed power to someone you were supposed to have known his ideology having been a lecturer and supposed educated person.

I have observed that only South south and south east politicians claim more Nigeria than their counterparts from other zones and that has been their greatest undoing. Even at this stage, you still can't call the person by his name, I'll tell it to your face when I see you, you were a failure Jonathan and still a failure that should never be reinforced

We have this kind of security situation and all the drug lord is doing is arranging for 2027

If picture of hypocrisy was a person. You protested every good step of Jonathan, but now romance every evils of Tinubu just because he has similar surname as you. What a joke we reduce God to. Tinubu really unmasked many highly regarded people of that region in his political journey.

Igbo community still represented. Good people with pure and generous mindset. 1986 when they just came out of war and were persecuted with awolowo's 20kobo agenda, they were still able to show their host community how dogged the race is with such humongous amount of money.

God continue to bless and protect his children

This response from PO is strategic and carries a lot of meaning underneath. The kind of politics men play in this country, expect his next move 😂😂

I am still waiting for one Yoruba that can tell me why they don't like the call for Biafra from all the way Yorubaland yet they are complaining of Igbos buying all their inheritance and asking them to go back to their region

How about Tinubu, did he not falsify his age.

They are only punishing those they can control....yeye judiciary

richie240:
That's the more reason they should hold on to it till they have something to show for it.

Thanks for your deep insight!

I support it because I just wonder how they would become if they stopped producing president. If their region has remained world almajiris despite continued presidency, one would imagine what they would turn to if they are no longer occupying it. Thank you too for your understanding

Has p.o replied any of okonkwo's media chats about him?

I doubt he has and almost certain he won't still.......

Like you said all these things about your father and family? Really?


Haaaa, the world has indeed gone MAD

I can feel her pain but let her take the pain back to Nigeria where it's most an honour to hate an enterprising and ingenious tribe

The more Tinubu tries to explain his lies, the more stupid he sounds.

Just amazing how a supposed educated region allowed itself to be dragged to the mud by a character like Tinubu, shameful indeed

owobokiri:
Bros,
They have something to show for it.
Let's discontinue with this argument that power has not favoured any region. It is a fat lie that makes the disenfranchised to accept their condition.
Lagos, Abuja, rail networks, major highways, ports activities, "juicy" jobs at the NNPC, CBN, the Nigerian customs, NPA, the army, civil defence, immigration, mining licences, oil and gas fields licences, telecommunications licences, banking licences, insurance sectors..., name them.

All these sectors and operations/projects are skewed to favour those regions in power. They are benefits from controlling power at the center.
That's the truth and the people from the far north and the south west benefit more in all these.
How many Lagosians leave Lagos to Anambra to look for jobs? Compare that with the quantity of Anambrarians going to Lagos to earn a living.
That should answer your questions..

Maybe you are right then

lagonovo:
It's the same in all our universities but some are a bit more serious with the ranking criteria.

I think criteria for ranking should be open to tho
