Two motions that I am conflicted over

Gambling is out of control in Nigeria and needs to be regulated. Banning is a bridge too far

State police are a requirement - but imagine albino lion police geng.

Obidients use your brain ffs. It's not everything that has to be argued.

Which of Ojuwku, Okafigbo, or Nwobodo were contesting on PDP platform?

.

As at 2003.

All 5 SE incumbent governors were PDP candidates all going for 2nd term.

Obj was going for 2nd term as the incumbent PDP president.

All 15 senators from the SE were incumbent PDP candidates running for second term.

And you expect a non-PDP presidential to get votes in that region?

Stop being incredibly stupid...its not fashionable.

......see Ẹ̀gbọ́n, we need State police in Naija. That's only way to curb insecurity. Forget nonsense that they will become tools of Governors like present Federal Police ain't tools.

Lmaooo.. You dey see lamba.
So buhari could not jail anybody linked to that fictitious 16b dollars.

Something that CBN has confirmed that it wasn't up to the said 16bn dollars oo😭😭.

Omoo. This renewed shege wan wonjure person but God pass them.
Many household items have tripled in price. More than 90 percent of Nigerian households are feeling the pinch of this tinubu's maladministration.
But of course, we will continue suffering and smiling away.

izzou:


You really don't know what you are saying.

I'm sure you'll come back 4 years later to say otherwise

Make someone like Hope Uzodinma or Wike get the power to form their own police?

Tinubu's plan for Nigeria was just to be president.

Infact, he started to think of Nigeria's problems on May 30, 2023.

Imagine paying subsidy at the rate of 1500/$.

.......Amotekun ain't doing bad. Neighbourhood Watch ain't tresspassing. Make we give it a try fess.

izzou:


Amotekun is not Police. You cannot go and report cases to them. Infact this is a different example entirely

NW is not either. People who are not watching anything apart from riding bicycles in the day time and controlling traffic when LASTMA wan go chop or piss.

Wait make dem put state police. Na that time we go beg Abacha and Buhari to come back

Unlimited22:

It's like saying they should legalise gun ownership.

Great idea in theory, actual usage will be a catastrophe of epic proportions.

State police ke? In this Nigeria where executive power is the closest definition of infinite we can access in real time?

No wonder the 36 governors unanimously agreed.

Why can't they pull the resources they intend to create their state police into the Federal level and strengthen it?

Na political opponent house dem go dey find ballot sheets now. Just watch

We either want devolution of powers from the center or we don't. While I think other aspects of devolution should be coming before state policing, I think it won't be as bad as people make it seem. Some governors will get state policing right, and others won't, some will abuse it, and others will be fair in their use of the states police.

Emaprince:
With all the money they are making from taxing these people under this administration?

Misplaced priorities everywhere. Last time it was about banning of sachet alcohols. Walahi Nigeria is cursed with senseless law makers.

I stayed in Ibadan for days and i didn't not see an Amotekun station or office.

I can still remember the police stations I saw.

GrammarNazi1:

It looks like Amotekun's mode of operation is different from that of the police, but there is a mode of operation.

And nobody expects Amotekun to be exactly like the police!

.........make dem approve State Police fess.
