MizMyColi:
The question now is, what visible signs of empowerment have we seen, except sewing new school uniforms that look like that of the army

DrSage:
Replacement of millitary personnels with policemen . I fear for Nigeria

Touche!
These suggestions are cool.
They are what Oga BuBu should have focused on before clamping down the Army's internal security provisions.

Okay, so now that they have been ordered out, what next?

An unprepared police force takes over, right?
They're supposed to learn on the job I suppose?

I believe it's the administrators who are to kick-off with the reforms and regulations.

This shouldn't even pose as a problem, we can decide to model our police system after the Brit's, American's or even the French's.

Policing shouldn't be seen just in the cities. We can appoint Sheriffs in our communities, they are to protect the citizens in the rural and incorporated areas. There should also be the transport police who would be concerned with licensing and regulations. Then we can have the State troopers, they'd be the ones to fight major state crimes.

We can't dispute that fact that modern technologies do play a significant role in today's policing. We can provide our Police with a record software, the MetroAlert RMS is used by the American police. This software enables law enforcement personnel to spend more time doing the job b'cos they spend less time flipping through the pages of record books and writing reports.

Their Report writing would be made easier b'cos the RMS would use the info already in their database to assist them in writing new reports.

They would also need two-way radios, patrol cars, shotguns, truncheons, 38 specials, riot gas, mace and electronic tazer guns that can administer a charge of 50,000 volt - this can come in handy when they're after drug dealers, touts and street mobs. They must not always shoot to kill.

Policing in Nigeria must change as organizations characterized by inefficiency, corruption, and low personnel standards into transformed professional departments.

The professionalization movement should stress changes in the levels of officer education and training, appointment of qualified administrators, and adherence to scientific principles of management.

Our Police organizational structuring should be centralized, specialized and bureaucratic. One that must resist political interference.

No one would the need the military if the right things were to be done.

.In a Democratic system of government, Its the police,that is empowered by law,to be solely in charge of internal security, the military is only called in,in a very serious security emergency. However, in our own case,the military has virtually taking over the functions of the police and this not a good development in our nascent democracy. This recent order by Mr.president, is a good development, but i believe that it will be best,if the withdrawal of our military personnel is done gradually because of the current ill equipped State of our police force. If our police is well funded,and equipped, there will not be any internal security challenge that won't be able to handle.I was surprised during the unfortunate Boston bombing in the US that it was the police handled the situation, in contrast to ours here where the military will be immediately deployed.

Badgers14:
PMB's decision is very plausible. Except from Boko Haram infested states, i see no reason why military should be on the streets.

The streets are for the police becuase they are better trained to interact with civilians in day to day activities unlike the military.

I suppose they're gonna learn on the job now, which from every look of it doesn't just seem right.

Now you get my grouse

This administration has promised Nigerians change, I guess the decision to remove the army from all check-points is the Presido's advertent way of saying ''Change is here''

figment232:
Foolish man,like your foolish dullard President.

Bluetooth2:
How many times have you seen the military doing the work of the police in developed countries ? The fact that it has become the norm over time doesn't make it an acceptable standard. Just admit it was a wise decision and stop tripping.

theV0ice:
You're so much on point bro.

Cheers

Abba999:
Fact is fact! Nigeria is a typical underdeveloped country. Deal with it, and leave sentiments.
It's not about white said, it's about the underdevelopment your nigeria face since independence.
Check the meaning of underdeveloped countries and see where nigeria belong.
