I just wonder why black people just cant fix small issues. Nigeria's problem is mainly due to merging of people who never shared any common heritage together.

Now, if they must continue to live as one country, why cant we at least copy and adjust the UK model where 4 nations exist in one country. Even the 4 nations go the world cup individually. Too much centralization is the core problem of Nigeria.

Blacks find it so hard to reason and solve societal problem.
65 years after the British left us, why have you failed to convince your own federal lawmakers to vote for resource control and secession to break up this Luggardian contraption huh

Without prejudice, President Tinubu should tell us,how the State Governors in Nigeria- that refused to Obey the Supreme Court Judgement of ,Operating A Seperate Account for the State and Local Govt Council under them - will now obey the State Police Creation Organisations,if not for Political Expediency and used it against their Opponents.
We de wait for the Emperors in Nigeria-political shenanigans to materialize!

Hmmm. Damm right. I wish the security votes stop. But it's impossible
The governor's are not even using it for the purpose it was meant for.

They loot and squander it

State police is long overdue. It is even in Tinubu's interest to quickly facilitate its establishment so that he will no longer be held responsible for security lapses rather the citizens will begin holding their governors' throats.

Is the federal government not using EFCC against it's opponents,does that makes it irrelevant or unnecessary

Never been optimistic about state police.

Am sure people go abuse me but hear me out.

1. Financing. The thing is, as I know very well, mention taxes, and Nigerians will grumble and grumble. Meanwhile, if we want a state police that must be well funded, I can't see money from 1.8 m barrels per day of crude funding good state police in 36 states. Infact, I know several states that even need more than a state police force...they need tactical units that can fight the rogue herdsmen in the bush . But tell Nigerians taxes, dem go complain

And a lot needs funding...weapons, forensics, colleges of training, advanced police cars, Records, jails, etc etc.

At the end, we would just have a state police looking like the NA of the colonial times...fighting guys who are 70 years ahead in weaponry. Right.

2. Tribalism and religionism.
The reason why the anti igbo pogroms worked before? The police was STATE Police. Regional police. Could not protect the igbos..will not protect them. Yeah and the retaliation in the SE...STATE Police.
Unless there is a law mandating that 40-50 percent of any state police must have non-indigenes in the force, forget about a fair state police. Every state would just be bunkers.

3. Corruption...

I know you will still go to another topic to display your ignorance and hatred again
Declared safest in the five years doesn't mean the safest in Nigeria. Are you sure it's not Igbo you studied in school? Why is simple comprehension becoming a Herculean task for you

No one is going to hijack state police, even governors won't. We need it for states like Benue and Plateau who are not bold enough or even value their lives enough to protect themselves by forming vigilante groups.

Same Obi that supervised Ezu river slaugher

Or

Same Obi that was caught looting N250 million monthly from Anambra for 8 years ?!

Clueless man
It took you 2yrs to realize despite people like Obi using it to campaign then.
It was never about the people
Tinubu just wanted power to loot

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
The National Assembly has to veto it first.
Bill has already been proposed and trashed a long time ago.
Otherwise, the president should have forwarded such a bill to the National Assembly.

Its now left for them to resurrect and pass the bill, which I'm sure will be opposed by the North.
Well that's where his benefactor relationship with the SP comes in handy

Why is Security very effective in developed countries.

They police their communities,they know the numbers of occupants in every home,they know the car you drive.They are very conversant with the environment.

Community vigilante should work closely with the state police
Re: Insecurity: ‘State Police No Longer Optional,’ Tinubu Seeks Reforms by Shollez(m): 8:20am On Jun 17, 2025
Let leave it like that we don't want any security in nigeria again,


1, Amotekun that they created are now going to bunk where boys are smoking and get them arrested without any offences, they will collected money from them then released them because they did nothing...... Amotekun that they were created to forest to fish out the perpetrators in the forest
2, politicians are using them to create tension
3, All securities in nigeria 🇳🇬 have information of criminals, let stop fooling ourselves,


NIGERIA IS A BIG SCAM 💯

Everyone knows Nigeria needed a state policing
The insecurity didnt start today.
He was the one constantly attacking GEJ on this same insecurity issues.
But for 2yrs, he has been president, thousands of people had to die for him to even bothered.

That is what is cluelessness
It has nothing to do with hate you tribal bigot
Whatever I said, I don't think I made mention of anything tribal. Part of the hatred I talked about is what made you reach that conclusion even with nothing to back it up.

That's true Federalism. Very soon, it would be each state, fend for yourself and remit little to the federal government.
what is true federalism?

how is state policing the same thing as true federalism?

are states not fending for themselves?

the same president you say that is talking said the following when JOnathan was president

I never voted for Tinubu but I'm beginning to think I will in 2027.

He is a bold Southern President, not afraid of the North. Nigeria is a Country crying out for reforms and state police is one of them.

Create state police, hold any governor who is still failing in security of his state responsible.

how do you that no one is going to hijack state police including governors?

if you say that the people of benue and plateau are not bold enough to protect themselves, how then will state police help them?

where will the members of the state police come from?

This is a government that knows what it's doing but when you tell the Obidients children whose only occupation in life is to press their phone, they would start insulting you.

A lot cant see that it will take constitutional reform to improve the security architecture of the country and this is where majority of the works stops that the door steps of our legislature both at the federal and the state.

Putting the blame solely on the doorstep of Tinubu is being myopic and lacks understanding of basic Nigeria structure.

Tell your elected legislature to pass law enacting state police law so the states can solely handle the security matters of his state
but this was tinubu "Putting the blame solely on the doorstep" of Jonathan?

are you saying that tinubu is myopic and lacks understanding of basic Nigeria structure?

why didnt tinubu tell his "elected legislature to pass law enacting state police law so the states can solely handle the security matters of his state"?

how do the attachment below show that tinubu knows what he is doing?

what is the boldness that tinubu has shown?

how is not being afraid of "the north" the definition of competence?

how has tinubu used this imaginary boldness to successfully tackle corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

find below what your bold president said about jonathan when jonathan was in office

Nice one though the Governors and politicians will just hijack the state police apparatus
So,the federal police aren't hijacked by politicians? Stop being pessimistic. Should I show you a video link in which police were seen snatching ballot boxes and harassing voters? Governors have been using police to harass enemies from time immemorial. That's what you guys said about amotekun. Today, it's all lies.

If Tinubu can implement this, it will be credited to him.

I don't think so. Every police officer knows that this is his own state. You don't do anyhow in your home front knowing too well that your actions will boomerang on you. The people are watching.

Tinubu in Lagos birthed RRS. State sponsored police which is the best in Nigeria today. Obi had his chance as a governor too. What did he do to tackle security?
Go and ask question. Obi eradicated criminals in anambra. Can you visit onitsha without being robbed? Can you pass through upper iweka before Obi arrive? You guys are really backward. People are being killed and all thats in your head is Obi. Dem swear for your papa?
