What is the difference between what you suggested to what I suggested? Is it not limiting the state and fg from controlling the police like in the USA?
APC has liberalized and opened the polity,expanded government.more Nigerians have benefited from APC than in any other govt.apc has almost destroyed Boko Haram,carried out more infrastructural projects than any civilian govt.apc introduced a new electoral system,decentralized and reduced the exclusive list,encouraged massive local content
Since 2015 Nigerians have had 50% of their wealth whipped out by APC as shown by our GDP and you are here talking that Nigerians have benefited more from APC?

How do too guys say this thing with a straight face

Which infrastructure are you talking about the ones that u borrowed money to increase our recurrent expenditure?

Name one infrastructure APC did that can break even

THIS IS TALKING NONSENSE. MAKE AN NYSC, WITH A PHD IN GENERAL PHILOSOPHY, AN IGP IN SAY ONDO STATE, TO BE RESPONSIBLE DIRECTLY TO THE STATE GOVERNOR, HE WILL SHINE BETTER ON SECURITY ISSUES THAN EGBETOKUN. IS HE UNDER SPELL FOR SPEWING OUT THIS RUBBISH?

I am 100% in favour of state police, i also know some states cannot afford the costs or the manpower to do so. I am sure today's politicians will abuse that authority. My suggestion is to make all and if not all majority of federal police officers in each state to come from that state with the IGP as the overseer. The reason being they will know the terrain, language, tribal or religion of the area that they are familiar with.

Anyone that is mad at the term NIGGER should realize that Niggers exist…right there in Abuja.


HOW THE HEL.L is a police officer making political statements….

Is that his godayum role?

Who voted for him to talk?

But of course, it is a zoo… that is essentially what the Nigger said….not mature nation EEEH….. Childish, lazy youth…jealousy and greedy dancing fools….yep.

Nonsense! If after 60 years of independece we are not ready for state police, then when will we be ready. The IGP and his type just want to continue this model of excess power at the center which gives them the opportunity to chop and chop with no limit. We need to restructure the nation and breaking up the police not just into state but also city police is badly needed

It is a pity, but in addition to all of those things, none of which I withdraw, you are also a coward.

You probably don't want to admit the root of your defense of all things government, and this is why you avoid this question.

If police was doing their job well no one will demand state police.

Nigeria police will do nothing while Miyetti Allah sponsored Fulani terrorists wipe out entire villages all over Nigeria.

Anyone opposing state police at this point is a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer.

Before he grew up to join the police, Nigeria had regional (state) police before Gowon and other evil minded fellows set us back. There was council police which in some local southwestern communities was called 'olopa fedeco'. For whatever he wants to enjoy now, the old man wants to destroy tomorrow. Does he want to enjoy his office, go back home and wait for Nigeria to happen to him before he realises he has undone himself. Obasanjo said last year they all said no to it, but now they've realised it is necessary'. But this destroyer of future generations is singing the devil's anthem.

He has travelled and attended courses in UK, US, etc but is incapable of replicating good policing examples he saw there to the benefit of Nigerians yet he he would gladly spew nonsense. Somebody tell that wicked man we will have state police and live a better life to his shame. Instead of creating a solution, they just sit down there saying good things are impossible. Bad people.

You're right. In addition, state police should completely handle state affairs while federal police should concentrate on FG matters. Then there the state police law should be made to ensure the governors don't have total control of state police as obtainable in the US, the UK and other places with good policing examples. In UK, you become commissioner of police of your county by election, not by a political leader's appointment. We can look around and put things together for better experience rather than guaging our lives with satanic 1999 constitution.

I blame whoever gave the federal police an opportunity to mouth an opinion about potential rival like state police. It's like asking a wolf if the fox should be introduced into the same forest.
FGN police is so myopic that they can't and won't see how state police will benefit the nation and even enhance their own jobs.

That is the absolute truth. State police won't change the security situation and will only be a tool in the hands of the governors. That is the security aspect.

As for politics, if Tinubu is truly worth anything politically then he must not make the mistake of allowing state police, else he will regret it.

As for Nigeria, it will be total chaos.

Your cowardice emerged with your asking me the same question back only to scurry away with your tail between your legs on account of the impending revelation of the reason for your absurd anti people notions.

And if you think I have any regrets over anything distasteful I have said to you, you will be off your rockers. The reason for this is that I am militant when it comes to the suffering imposed on Nigerians by a rapacious and corrupt elite, as I am conscious of how it actually costs lives and the level of human misery it entails.

I therefore will never countenance the voodoo arguments of the accursed political elite and their Bretton Woods advisers and I will always hold nothing but the deepest contempt for those pitiful self hating creatures such as yourself who support and endorse such.

Politically uninitiated IG.

He wants continuity of the present system where Abubakar who doesn't know anything about the SW or SE region polices in the south, and Okoro or an Ajibode who doesn't know anything about northern Nigeria is placed to police the northern region. Crime proliferated.

The type of security challenge will are having in nigeria is terrorism, banditry and kidnapping. Which has overwhelmed the power of our police and military. Terrorists carry sophisticated weapons and sometimes they overpowered our police and military even with their gun trucks. Military and federal police are overpowered throughout the nation because they're having Inadequate manpower, training, welfare and equipments, then will want to go for state police, which will have lesser training, allowances, equipment and orientation compare to the federal police. grin grin

The IGP will still be in charge of all policing system in the country if u don't know. America has only one police of chief, which the states police commander gv reports to. And we have to consider the condition of police in America b4 they switched into state policing system. Is like boko harams are killing our army In the north, then we now say all man'o war of each northan state should be facing them instead. Any police that will have below standard to this nigeria policing system is not a police anymore, but a way to solve problem of unemployment. Instead nigeria should merge NSCDC to police and work in their respective state as state police, with the same uniforms and same CG but under the umbrella of police as they have had enough training atleast, but they should be under federal government payroll. Because nigerian governor can never pay any police, we shouldn't deceive ourselve.And nigeria will do enough to added to personal of mobile police and our military, with alot of equipment, training and good welfare so that they can end the problem of banditry and terrorism. Because state police can never be enough to tackle the challenge that has overwhelmed the military. Then maybe after we have a balance and standard police and military which have enough numbers of personnel and pays with equipment they needed[color=#990000][/color], then we can now proceed on creating a state or community police.

It is better the president alone uses them to witch hunt than for governors to do same.it will be too much for the citizenry to take.eveb the governors have some form of control over the police esp in elections but once they fail in securing their states,they blame it on lack of state policing...

In any case,what we need is community policing or the type of state police that exists in America where each town,settlement or city operates it's own police answerable to the town council led by a mayor and then the state have its own police and the federal have FBI.i think the east has something similar where each town esp anambra has its vigilante service that is answerable to each town union led by the king and the PG.the governor will have little or no control over them except in anambra vigilante service or bakassi boys.i think Nigeria should adopt that method
who going to pay them. if is lead by the town council

The election part is the biggest problem with state police but the insecurity will facing na state police good for am.


Bcoz the president can't verify the number of police station in the country given to him by the IGP

But with state police every station can be verified by the governor

The governor can monitor development of police station, barrack, police hospital etc.


In America we have 911 emergency.call centre for health care ND security. In which in Nigeria is the governor can provide that

[s]We are not ripe for state police.

Ultimately, the problem is funding for me. All my other objections, I have dismissed them, even the tribalism and religion one. If state police is going to be tribalistic, they will end up losing investors. Bad news. SO, state police is going to work.

But funding is a big problem. A BIG PROBLEM. States that most cannot pay the current mininum wage, talkless new wage...are now going to fund state police. Okay. Either state starts charging everyone tax...which I know Nigerians don't like, or they take loan, and more loan. (Forget federal funding. ).

We too dey like copy other countries. Yes, USA Has state police, and also USA has a diversifed economy with everyone..almost everyone...paying taxes. Not like Nigeria where most of us do not pay tax. Even the one we pay, can only cover 20% of our income. We are not funding our National police force well enough...we spend less than one tenth what New York CITY (Not the state ) spends to police 200 million people. It's a miracle we have not crashed into anarchy by now. Yet we expect the NPF to perform like NYPD. Na magic thinking be that.

If I suggest we should do things like pay tax, remove subsides to find more money, and so forth, people will abuse me. Yet people are here calling for state police that their state cannot fund. Some will even call for regions to come back so that we can have regional police...it's like people do not know why we have states, and no, it is not because of Gowon. State issues started in the first republic...that is why we ended up with Midwestern region...and we would have even gotten middle belt region if not for the 66 coup.

LIke now, Zamfara state is poor, broke and has a massive kidnapping problem and bandit issue. It needs a state police that is well armed, and has things like drones, aeroplanes, tactical gear, good arms, and specialist commando style police. How is it going to be funded? From the state's brokeass funds. Same for kaduna. Lagos needs a proper urban force...HECK, Lagos needs a police force like the NYPD , with funding of 10 billion dollars or more per annum...otherwise it would be ineffective. Borno, we know. Even Anambra and Enugu need a well funded force...with esn. I haven't mentioned fulani herdsmen issues...you need something like a well armed police force AND a well armed specialist SPESTNAZ (google it) type force. Otherwise, wahala go start.

I tell you, unless we are ready to make some tough sacrfices, instead of expecting oil money to cover everything....we can't have state police. God knows, I wish it was otherwise. We never even adequately fund our own police force self...with wretched housing on top.

Are we all ready to pay half our income, including people in villages, and poor city dwellers...in tax, to ensure that we get a well functioning state police. And please, that thing called security vote....e no fit fund am. [/s]
