National security emergency? Never heard of that one before.

Compromised security system and the fear of his 2027 is the problem here. If not, I don't see what's hard to flush these beasts out from their hideouts.

Na still on the fear of his 2027 no wan make him declare state of emergency in some of these states.

WEREY NE ELEYI O



WA IS NATIONAL EMERGENCY?

You don hear am now.

Talk to your state governor, they have green light to establish state police now

I hope the FG will truly tackle this insecurity problem. The national assembly should fast track the bill that will give room to state police

Clueless presid1ot. It's my turn it's my turn.

In addition to this he should set the process for creation of state police

States should be empowered to punish open grazing offender.

Name the sponsors and prosecute all the terrorist enablers.

Good move Mr. President.

Legally or constitutionally is this a state of emergency

Ttalk:
In addition to this he should set the process for creation of state police

He already told the National Assembly to create laws that will allow willing states to have their own police force.

Then based on that law, they are going to have both federal police and state police.

Donald Trump was actually right - it took his threat on social media for Tinubu to start taking actions against insecurity. How docile can a leader be?!

Where is Trump declaring emergency on school shooting!

They already have 13,000 deaths from shooting alone in this year 2025.

Well to be frank I like some of the moves particularly these two:

Pledges full federal support to state-level security outfits.

- Calls on National Assembly to amend laws to allow willing states to establish state police

This man scamming us since the 90s Sometimes you wanna strangle him and other times you’ve got no choice but to give him thumbs up. Sometimes he’s thinking right and other times you’ll be wondering what’s going on. As long as he keeps making the right decisions, we don’t care if he keeps sleeping during meetings

Im still having a feeling this is because of Donald trump’s threat🤔

Our states governor are useless and I will tell you why.

Before now, they usually lie that FG should allow states to generate electricity and that they can do this and that. Ever since FG gave them the right, how many states don establish working electricity institutions?

Now this state police thing, it may take some of them 5 years to decide. They will first use politics to do it and recruit their party members and etc.

O

Yes, just seeing that.

Now the SW should set the pace with Lagos state passing the bill before Friday and commission Lagos state police by Monday.

Let Ogun state, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun follow suit.

This will encourage other Southern states to establish theirs and we will be free from terrorism in our region

God bless you.

Any SW governor that do not action on the state police stiffs by next month December deserve to be cussed.

All because of Trump's Tweet.

God bless Mazi Donald Chukwuemeka Trump. 😁

Ok The question is can Tinubu give all these orders?

I'm not trying to speak against him, but this was a man who was running away from debate during the presidential election and when he was to eventually speak he gave the microphone to nasir El rufai to speak on his behalf because he knew hr knows he talks incoherently

That why I pity many of the people that only put blame on the president while allowing their state governors to mismanage their resources

America threat is working, when we were shouting how terrible insecurity is they called us names. Some of them even changed my state to suit their slave lords. God will visit you.

Man knee facing trump is never a good idea, even though he refused to call out the main culprits Sha

Let's see where this leads to

Let him continue

We are waiting for explanation of how the kidnapped people in Kebbi and Kwara were released.

All these won't change the fact that they're negotiating with terrorist

This This Agbado theory won’t work for terrorists;

Hope Seyi Don Go Collect Form

Nonsense

If you have taken your time to study Tinubu you'll discover that he is expert in using other others fight his battle.

Look at how LP gain ground in Lagos during election. He promoted LP to reduced the strength of PDP while concentrating in the north where his weaknesses lies

I strongly believe the intervention of Trump has the nod of Tinubu, but politics has to be played to confuse his northern ally

If them knap one of your family member, tell the FG to send soldiers to the terrorists to shoot them so they can be collateral damage.

Like that, you will get the answer to your question.

Recruitments, emergency declarations, forest guards .. all these sound impressive, but Nigerians have seen announcements like this before with little to show for it. The real deal is not what the government says today, but what Nigerians will experience in the coming months. If insecurity does not reduce significantly, then this is just another political performance as we all know. We've had enough of speeches.

We need implementation, accountability, and measurable results!.

Emergency Declared, 20,000 Recruits, VIP Escorts Should Also Be Sent to Hotspots…

Oya ooooo, APC youths, time to show workings to prove how you stand on him mandate

More like a Nationwide State of Emergency
