DubaiLandLord: Till the Monsters of Governors we have in Nigeria let go of the 3rd tier of Government. It is a big shame to the Governors really. Killing another legal tier of Government. Sadly, it is the presidency that people talk about leaving out the selfish Governors, who are directly in charge of Monthly state allocation given to each state, and the puppet state house of assemblies. Before you criticise the Presidency, have you asked your State Governors how they spend the Monthly State Allocation given to your states. Is your State House Assemblies performing the roles of Checks and Balances?? 1 Like |

People will say that they agree with Buhari without thinking it through. What's the difference between State Police and resource control that the South have been crying for. If Buhari doesn't support restructuring ,I don't see him support State Police for the same reason. 2 Likes 1 Share |

heniford2: The FG has done its bit. It has been sent to the State House of Assemblies of each state to domesticate. Unfortunately, they are puppets in the hands of the Governors and that is where everything dies. The State House of Assemblies refuse to debate it and domesticate. The Governors will not let them do it and there is nothing the presidency can do about it, 2 Likes |

Omicronvaccine:even though I don't too like some of the policies of the presidency, Nigeria is not matured enough to call for a state police, have you noticed how state judiciaries is runned by state governors?

mabea: Restructuring is such a loose word. You need to be specifics when you are talking about restructuring. Different people and politicians have different selfish definitions for their own restructuring. When you mention restructuring, can you please be more specific what you want to really restructure because lot of people just mention the words without even understanding it. 2 Likes |

MT: I agree with you. Some people can not see the truth because of their hatred for Buhari. State police will be dangerous. They are going to act supreme and threaten innocent souls. We have not talked about hatred, bully, and much more stuff. People should be careful about state police. Imagine having a case with a Yoruba man in Ogun as an Igbo man, and the state police is a Yoruba man. You are done for good. The same applies to other tribes. More innocent would suffer if that was actualized. Nairalanders, keep your hatred aside and see the flaws in the state police. 2 Likes |

Damidave1124: You know one thing and the truth... The north never want to leave controling the security architecture of this country because tat3is what they hope to rely/fall back on when they want to get their ways around. Even if they relinquish political power to the south, the have the guns and amunition as the judiciary in also incapacitated at the sounds of guns with money also in the bag. Seriously, without the fear of dying, Nigerians would have revolted against bad governance and things would have changed for better. 1 Like 3 Shares |

jrusky: You're talking about the symptoms of a deep-lying disease which is our warped political system. America has had more power-drunk governors than Nigeria. Most of what we see in Nigeria is child's play compared to what has happened in the American democracy. But the fact remains that community or state police is a fundamental criteria of a federation. Without it, a federation can never be a federation. Forget about the noise that governors will abuse it. Those things can be corrected by legislations. |

Is the Federal government not abusing it's powers in the use of police and other uniform institutions to hunt people who differ in FG's opinions? The only problem I see in state policing is the issue of financing. |

linearity: It's just my opinion, natch. 1. In terms of finding, the FG gets her money from States and then allocate percentages back to them, since they will no longer be tasked with Policing reducing their tax on State will free up money. Actually, 70% of all the money we use in this country depends on the revenue we get from oil. Tax to gdp ratio in this country is 6.4%. WOrld Bank has already blasted us for our low tax collection rate. SO, any money coming for state police is going to come from limited oil money...or states do the unpopular method ofr asing income taxes from every taxable adult in the state at high rates...including hawkers, farmers, and herdsmen, and so forth. THat's why I am not too enthusiastic about the funding problem 2. FG uses Police & FG agencies to oppress everyone and States everyday….case in point AGN is in Magodo Estate using FG police to intervene on land issues when the Constitution have fully vested the power over land to the State….they are even ignoring the Governor’s orders. I don't deny that (though Magodo is a poor example...the police is merely helping the original landowners enforce a Supreme court ruling, which the state is trying to turn into a states right issue because they know they are wrong) But let's be frank, state governors are going to opress via state police. (See what some governors are up to already) . Thank God you mentioned a civilization that started it badly, but over the years they are still learning and tweaking it. You can’t be perfect in a vacuum, you have to start somewhere. None of us know anything about the internet when we started Primary School, but look at us today. Okay, you've just excused bad government of bubu. Plus, I am being realistic. Yes, State Governors will abuse it just like the FG, you can’t be Governor forever, power must change hands and with each year, the fear of retribution will force them to moderate…..remember one certain former Governor in Edo State? He later became the National Chairman of one National Party, he was pompous and powerful, his thugs reign high every corner of Edo State…..do you hear about him again? I sometime think that he is on a self-exile in some foreign island - no reported sittings….that is power, it must change hand one day. Even then, knowing Nigerians, Africans, and our history, a national police is a more neutral alternative, than state police. |

MT:the fed can recognize the local government make it a separate tie of government under the supervisor of state government but independently on is own is possible creating room for elective role as we have the president senators, governoship and local government election control by Inec doing so will make them visible active not 100% controled by governors but just 10% then watch how fast development will touch grassroot and the governor has no right to remove them but the traditional rules and indegious people of the locality if he abuse his power |

federal9:Under the current system, if you are a Yoruba or Igbo man in any state of the country, woe betide you if a bunch of Fulani nomads decide to take over your farm or even your entire village. How is that any better? Those of you who defend the status quo are even blinder than the Buhari critics you berate. You pretend as if Buhari's NPF were anything but a totally corrupt bunch of uniformed thugs at his personal disposal for selfish, sectarian ends. 5 Likes |
