I will advise that the SW states should call theirs "OLOPA" and Not Police.i.e
Lagos state OLOPA, Ondo State OLOPA Oyo State OLOPA,Ekiti State OLOPA Osun State OLOPA , and Kwara State OLOPA .

Okoyeeboz:
You think every state is like the barren portions of your impoverished region?

And I am telling you that no state can afford an effective police force.

You can disagree with me, but it is what it is. The money needed is a lot

Plus we do not just need police force, we need good forensics, detention centers, juvenile law, enough judges , because Nigeria no get enough judges, that is why people are awaiting trial up and down, good training centers, not glorified secondary school wey dem go label am police training center, and even better funding for our universiites.

Plus, we need sane police officers, or do you want somebody with a few weeks training to come and be beating you up for nuthin?

Even if na to fight fulani herdsman, we need records, etc...even forensics to be sure we are holding the right fulani herdsman , not Hamidu from Kano who is passing through to buy some things for his shop in Kano, and knows nothing.

And in some instances, we need amored vehicles, tactical gear, drones, helicopters, not just one for every state, but several, decent cars, decent vehicles, not just dangote car wey he donate to police...hilux type cars, etc.

And all that needs a lot of money.

And it all needs to be maintained and upgraded, which means heavy duty taxes. You people wey dey call me Mr Tax, you see how e go be.?

State police is not what you people think. It may not involve a Bugatti, but it is not the nansense like Amotekun that cannot take on armed bandits.

Now, call me anti-progress.

Mr. Subsidy leave that your long long talk, you are talking in future past tense.
What Nigeria needs now is what matters, the State Police force, the manpower, bikes, Hilux with AK, finish.
Leave all that structure wey you dey misyarn, if State Police miss to kill you, we go pack una like sardine for Kirikiri or port you go Sokoto.
When you reach there write long long epistle on prison overcrowding from there.
Forensics kill you there for country wey even light no dey.

You just just want to criticize because Tinubu did it, if Tinubu did not do it, you guys would say Tinubu cannot do it, now he has done it and you guys are changing goalposts.
Do you guys truly believe that in Nigeria God gave wisdom only to Peter Obi?

Dokitto001:
I will give Tinubu created if he pulls this through and actually makes sure it works. Yes I am his biggest critic.

Too early to rejoice. Remember he signed local government autonomy into law and we can see how much that worked out. That's because they deliberately leave loopholes that makes sure these things never actually come to true fruition.

Pootle:
some state wont be able to handle their police department, they will be heavily under equipped leading to serious insecurity in some states

nairalanda1:
First off, it is not about Obi or tinubu. If Obi was president, AND he proposed this, I would be laughin in state police too.

Second, a little secret, I do want state police. But in a country where the federal police is poorly funded, can government give money to the states to properly fund a state police.? The answer is no.

Look oga, you can abuse me all you like , even call me names, but we got to think about what we want in a state police, before we get something that would be infinetly worse. Right now, all states cannot fund state police. It does not matter if it is rivers, or kano, no state can fund state police

Even Lagos that took 20 years to do two out of seven rail lines for the city metro, cannot fund a state police that would look after the population

Again our federal police is badly funded, most of the rank and file are paid below or around minimum wage, the same minimum wage states were complaining that they cannot pay, and you suddenly trust them to fund state police well..? Ok.



Most if not all states cannot fund schools properly, hosptials, state owned roads, etc etc...and suddenly they will be able to fund a state police that is well equipped to fight the bad security challenges we got?

Most of you cry at the mention of tax, and suddenly you want a state police that would work well without most eveyrone paying taxes?

What you are asking for is guys that would be decimated by armed thugs at the first time of asking.

At the end, you face reality, or you lie to yourself. I don't care anyway, I've chosen to face reality.

Laughing in state police and reform.

Nigeria that cannot fund federal police go fund state police?

Nigeria where federal police runs from bandits and thugs, go produce state police that won't run

Still lauhging in state police.


You Nigerians do not know what is really wrong with your country, na to shout abuse up and down and defend politicans and tribe you dey know.

Abufo:
The most consequential decision Tinubu has taken so far! .....and certainly the best! A national police services commission must be set up to oversee the state and federal police services!

Kukutente23:
This state police is being overflogged in terms of Optics than the substance
Creation of state police is not a switch to put out insecurity
If that were the case, outfits like Amotekun and CJTF would have helped overcome insecurity in their various domains
We have to ensure that the laws that will be promulgated will be ones that ensures that the state police is adequately trained, funded and organised to combat insecurity and more importantly that there is a symbiotic and respectful relationship established between the state police and the Federal police such that they can both work seamlessly and effectively to nip insecurity if not it might end up a wild goose chase

SonOfDSoil01:
are amotekun and Cjtf allowed to use sophisticated weapons like the bandits use? they were not licensed to use those grade of arm but short range guns like double barrel guns, so how do expect them to fight bandits with sophisticated weapons? some of you armchair critics are very ignorant and just want to critique every govt policy and reform out of sheer bias and sentiment without having a knowledge of what the issues are

Lithiumite:
There is no take off date that every state must start.... its as soon as practicable for every state.......some state might still not be able to get their dmstate police in 5 years but good thing about this development is that it changes the discourse of putting every insecurity blame on the president.... the govs will now be equally responsible fir insecurity in their states and if a giv is incapable, a SOE can be easily declared by the president, this will make the govs sit up and stop lazying about.

Kukutente23:
But your political god is allowed to lazy about right
So since he has failed in insecurity let's push it to the govs and then bring the roof down on them if they fail as well while excusing the grand failure of the Federal Republic

Lithiumite:
Let that state govs seat be vacated and you should ask for a SOE to be declared,martial law all through the state......you will be the first to start crying my political God is over reaching his powers to use against him at the polls......."do not entice me with it,I already know how to eat it"

Kukutente23:
How does the state gov stop him from carrying out the functions of his office tht they need to be removed before he can secure the country?
Was he removed from office to secure Lagos during th OPC vs Hausa clash?
The govs need to be removed for him to perform but he needs them to win elections. See zombie logic
Una sef

Lithiumite:
Go ask the opc goons at the time,atleast one of them is still very much alive,go ask him if there was ever any love lost between them,federal can only succeed if the sudden national is willing to fully co operate.

To effectively curb insecurity menace across tbe states the entire political structure of the state has to totally give way,you arent deaf everytime you here state govs always negotiating ransoms without even putting up a policy to fight the menace but will keep pointing to Abuja to deceive his people.

Kukutente23:
Stop peddling falsehood
Gani Adams has no issues with Tinubu till today. In fact, it was OBJ who declared Gani wanted and had him arrested. It had nothing to do with Tinubu's govt.
The govs pay ransom because APC propaganda machinery has been used to diffuse responsibility for security from the president to the govs since the time of Buhari
Why didn't we hear of any gov paying ransom for kidnapping when PDP was in govt? Because no one made it a responsibility of the states when terrorists strike like you people are doing now. It's because of political pressure that you lots are putting the govs under when they have no power to effect the security as you're expecting of them
So you blaming the govs is all political. There's nothing to be gained from it aside that
