I want the Arabic on the Nigerian Army logo removed, I want the reintroduction of CRK to our school's curriculum, I want the herdsmen sent back to the North. This country does not belong to the Muslims, neither does it belong to the North. It belongs to all of us, so if all of us can't have it, give us Biafra. 106 Likes 7 Shares |

"On the fear that state government could hijack the force in their states, he said that there should be a commission to oversee the state police just like the National Judicial Council (NJC) oversees the judiciary." I like this explanation, and I'm particularly glad these men have these things all figured out. The truth is, Nigeria should be restructured in a way that state governments are able to harness natural resources in their domains. The idea of regional government may not work because of cultural differences. Let's stop running round and round a cycle, thinking we are growing. The earlier the better. We can't continue to do things the same way and be expecting a different result. 11 Likes 1 Share |

I am indifferent to the Idea of police to be handle by state government base on the structure of things in the country. Though the system works fine in US, UK and other developed countries but how effective will it be in Nigeria? Other points made by deputy senate president is right on course which they know federalism will relief and solve the system complexity but the current status quo is well beneficial to them 3 Likes 1 Share |

HMMMMM.... This is a very bad idea. If it was a country where the interests of its citizens had priority then perhaps, yes it would have been a great idea, but this is Nigeria. Northern states may all together scrap their justice system including the police, and opt for a sharia only justice system. Poor and bedridden states like Ebonyi, Taraba and Ekiti may go back to using their police force as a revenue machine through setting up of semi legal "toll gates". Yes, sports, agriculture and mining should be left to the states as a source of revenue, but don't jeopardize the security of citizens for any reason, especially not when these bloodthirsty northern yutes (youths) are now getting agitated. 1 Like |

Ah! Well spoken, distinguished Deputy Senate President. Tinker on the constitution and other relevant statutes and cause those to be reflected. Any Nigerian opposed to those are doing so to romance their selfishness. 1 Like |
