That is how this life is oh, we should always oray it is our favour,but that cannot always be the issue because the life is made of ups and downs

tuoyoojo:
In this life, the downfall of one person is the lifting of another

Or

Put better

"The challenge of one person is what opens to door for another"

As a person is complaining his car is bad, the mechanic is "happy"

A coffin sellers gets to sell his ware with the demise of another person

As the family of this man is rejoice with the promotion, others are not that happy

The life nor just balance

This IGP position is more like a political appointment that causes sabotage to other senior police officers as a result of issues they did not cause

One of my uncle should be expecting promotion be that 😬

One assumes if they have reached AIG or DIG the competency and hopefully respect from colleagues are given.

Part of consideration needs to be an IGP committed to the vision and less likely to engage or be recruited as coup plotters.

No saboteurs.

It is what it is.

This is how we have used nepotism to destroy all our forces and paramilitary outfits
And we want to fight insecurity?
But when it comes to appointments, we're prepared to sacrifice good heads and experienced hands to accommodate tribal nuances and regional sentiments
This rubbish started with Buhari. Before him, it was largely minimised and seniority and operations experience took more precedence
Unfortunately Tinubu who should know better and do better has taken same posture
This approach by politicians will ultimately breed indiscipline in the security services and you can expect to be hearing of more coups as the presidency rotates and servicemen are sacrificed to balance the rotation

chukwutee:
Why do you say that? So what make sense to you?

Maybe,appointment of IGP based on seniority.
He is frowning at a system where a politician will just pick a very junior officer to become an IGP over his numerous seniors in service probably bcuz of political or ethnic consideration.
The same thing is happening in the military and other security agencies.
I agree with the guy that it's wrong to do so.
The system can breed a lot of disgruntle elements in the Force which can have negative impact on national security.
From CP to AIG, from AIG to DIG, from DIG to IGP... that's how it should be.

Will report your police brutality benefitting arse to Canadian High commission

Police is not military, it is not compulsory that you retire if you junior become the boss like the military, if you wish to stay good and fine and if you wish to go on retirement no problem. The only thing is that you must not be more than 60years or you have served 35years in the police.

how are you sure I have any policeman uncle? 😂

Kukutente23:
That's not my point
I'm referring to selection of IGs and other service chiefs based on tribal and regional considerations instead of competence and seniority
Even if AIGs are the most competent to become IGs, picking based on tribal alliance affected morale and introduces indiscipline. For example, Egbetokun reached 35 years less than 2 years of becoming IG. I hear Disu will hit 35 years in 3 months or so.
This means that there are officers far less than 35 years who are DIGs who will retire because an AIG close to retirement was picked for IG. This started with Buhari who had the police act changed to accommodate MD Abubakar and now, Tinubu has also changed same act to accommodate Egbetokun and Disu

It's the president's prerogative to appoint whosoever he wishes, he merely exercised that.
Most DIGs retire with their respective IGs and like I said earlier, only 5 DIGs have made it to the rank of IG. Everything isn't about nepotism. If Tunji wasn't competent enough, he wouldn't have risen to such rank.

Where is the nepotism you are crying about?

Mba got double promotion based on quarter system and became DIG while some of his mates were still commissioners. Why did you not cry and wail over his accelerated promotions then?

Mba entered police as an inspector but because of qouter system was promoted and became senior to his former seniors but you did not wail over that.

ogmask:
I agree with you. Makes no sense at all. If they truly believe the system is the best they should do same with the judiciary lets see how it will play out. See how we struggle with security issues here and there yet we tell very senior officers to go jome because of politics. Until we look inwards and replace the paddy paddy style with a merit based system of succession our security architecture may remain dormant.

All these crying and wailing is because of Mba yet Mba is the least qualified of the DIGs.

Mba cannot be IG over Disu because Mba joined the police as an inspector while Disu joined as ASP cadre from the University direct.

You guys are te.rri.ble.
Was the comments about Mba?
Is Mba the most senior among the DIGs?
The comment was about appointing IGP from among the DIG and not AIG as the case mostly is.
Pass through normal ranks...CP--AIG-DIG--IGP.
I even mentioned that the same thing is happening in the military and other security agencies.
So,is Mba also in the military and other security agencies?

Is Mba the only senior to Disu in the police force?
Why are you so particular about Mba when none of the comments quoted didn't mention him?
Abeg I no dey follow una do Igbo and Yoruba ethnic para for Nairaland.
I am talking about national security issues here and not your usual Igbo and Yoruba online fight.

I am neither Igbo nor Yoruba which is why I can look at things objectively an ability you do not posses.


Your kind tried to sneak in your Mba through the back door only to meet a brick wall now you are wailing. You don't do Igbo and Yoruba ethnic para but here you are wailing upandan just because Mba and Igbo officer was not picked as IG.

Mba is barely qualified for CP but because he came from a region with few top officers he got accelerated promotions entirely based on qouta system and not merit.
