ONLY IN NIGERIA WILL A SENIOR OFFICER REPORT TO A JUNIOR OFFICER

soe:
Op... You rushed to press without ant findings.

For your info. IGP is not based on seniority.

DIGs are seniors to AIGs.

Solomon was a DIG while Suleiman was an AIG.

GEJ appointed Suleiman (AIG) as the IGP even though we have about 7 DIGs. The next man ib rank to the IGP is usually the DIG(Admin) but DIGs(Admin) are rarely made IGPs.

But like I said earlier, IGP appointment is not based on Seniority that is why being a DIG doesn't make you the next IGP

ManiCypher:
Based on an internal police document obtained by this newspaper, Mr. Arase, an indigene of Edo State, was born on June 26, 1956 and joined the Nigeria Police Force on December 2, 1981.

However, the outgoing IGP, Mr. Abba, who hails from Jigawa State, was born on March 22, 1959 and was enlisted into the police on December 31, 1984, three years after Mr. Arase was enlisted.

Both officers were, however, promoted Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, on the same date – February 22, 2012 – shortly after Mohammed Abubakar was promoted IGP.

It is not clear how Mr. Abba caught up with Mr. Arase in rank, and eventually overtook him to become IGP.

Hausa fulani/Islamic nepotistic M.O of discarding meritocracy in our national institutions is the reason why an illiterate cattle herder will suddenly find himself ahead of qualified prospects inside Aso Rock via coup and Aso Rock again via almajiri vote yet we wonder why Nigeria is backward...

Noloss:
Hummm. Niger, which way?

Lucasbalo:
You are the same guy critizing Dr. Ariyo on another forum and here showing your tribal hatred for another tribe. How can you justify this ?.

Texcoco:
Pretender....Why dont you close your eyes to our criticisms-a true reflection of what is actually going on in our bureacracy-...Tis not as if we called for extermination like your co-conspirators and kinsmen Akiolu and Ariyo.

sammyj:
All this is story for the gods, let us wait till the peoples general enters ASO rock and see what will befall this mole that GEJ has planted as the new acting IG. Time will tell !!!!

Lucasbalo:
When you have nothing positive going on for u in life , you will harp on anything. If asking Kkk to get involved with the man is your solution. It shows your true reflection on life. Those of us who grew up here know better. I don't have any problem with condemning Dr Ariyo but I have problem with the overkill. What's the essence of all the death threats to him and his wife and young children ?. I live in Chicago and I am well armed legally, you threaten me or my family, the gloves are off.

The new IG has about a year left to finish his Ph.D in UI.

Texcoco:
You shouldn't have any qualms with overkills afterall Arikyo brought it on himself and needs to be taught a lesson for the good of humanity and scapegoats....You toe his igbophobic line then we are afraid all the arms in the world cannot save you from losing your job,your home or worse...

Lucasbalo:
After all the noise, I promise you , he will still be a cardiologist and living a good life. I know that much about America. I want him to protect himself because he's a resident of Texas. That's what I will do. If someone threatens to harm me or my family, I am ready because I am GLOCK protected.

owobaba40:

that's what we have been talking, there are so many irregularities under jonathan.

Lucasbalo:
You sure don't know how things are being run in US. Stay where you are and be spewing all kind of trash that don't know any difference. No Ibo man or woman can do him no harm. America is law and order society unlike Nigeria. Like I said, he the Dr will be fine.

Ymodulus:


I just see people rambling, about Hausa - Fulani/ Islamic Nepotism. This has nothing to do with that.


Abba was promoted to serve a purpose, something he was doing rather well until the last few weeks, when he started to actually do part of his job. Abba Moro was not promoted to please Northern Muslim Hausa-Fulani, he was promoted to do a hatchet job for GEJ and PDP because of his past history as Aide de Camp to Mariam Abacha, something he did rather well until the general elections.

Your way of looking at Nigeria is the reason why all the brigands (hausa, yoruba, Igbo, nupe, igala, efik, muslim, Christian etc.) have been able to plunder Nigeria. The simple truth is that their good and bad people regardless of race, creed and colour.


I believe this is an excellent relative justice that is been observed. Same way Minima was promoted and 35 of his seniors has to go. The problem is that the men in uniform are no longer serving the nation but individuals as such any leader will need who will be loyal to him not to the nation. The involvement of uniform personnel into politics create the problem of their dishonest, distrust and franchise.

However there is hope as the next adminstration will try to appoint officers at and when they are due.

The general will make a difference.

Chigold101:
please on what is the appointment of IG based?

Is the IG not the oga kpata kpata of all the police officers?

OP raised 1 important point in this post.

The point is that Solomon joined the force in 1981 whil Suleiman joined the force in 1984-and both were promoted to AIG at the same time...he now wrote... At what point where Suleiman met up with Solomon is rank is not yet known.

Well to some of us we know that in civil service commission northereners get rapid promotion even with their lack of qualification than those from the south.

This is the height of Nigeria‘s problem. Mediocres are occupying posts they are not qualified for all the name of federal character & quota system.

With a northner at Aso Rock from May 29th we are going back to the year 1960 when all you have to do as a northerner to get employment is “interest.“

Your qualification is will not be important. God help my country.
