Racoon: What about the SARS that translate to SWAT? What happened to that body? There is the Mobile Police, Anti-Terrorism Squad @ Enugu GRA, State Operation God-knows-what; all under the same police and many array of government agencies but all useless! Multiplicity of the same government responsibility.
DRS is a nice initiative, but I'm against the idea of buying foreign vehicles when naira is in a shamble
Racoon: Leave that work for road safety. Another policy with duplicity of function. Multiple identity data bases with Nigerian government but these have never been harness for a national identity data base to contain the deteriorating widespread insecurity.
BVN-NIN-SIM linkage was supposed to help out but Nigeria have a government sympathetic to bandits, Fulani and BH terrorists. Use drone technology or AI, they are foot dragging.
Hence these guys simply had leeways to operate freely in the northern fringes of this contraption while the South was under siege. Who is deceiving who? Insecurity will be forgotten when Nigeria is ready to eradicate it.
I agree with you. We have lots of unimplemented policies
Ozommadu: Peter Mba seems like a leader with vision abi he dey do eye service??
But he stole someone's mandate
Why Hyundai?. Whatever happens to Innoson?. There's another vehicle manufacturing company in Enugu state I think OMAA vehicles, why not encourage them by patronizing them
Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, has expressed satisfaction with the successes recorded so far in the fight against insecurity in the state, assuring that Enugu was open and safe for business. The Governor also said that Enugu had kicked the illegal sit-at-home out of the state, assuring that the state’s security initiative, the Distress Response Squad (DRS) and its complementary Command and Control Centre would further secure the state when fully launched in a few weeks. [b]This was even as the new Commissioner of Police, CP, Enugu State Command, Kanayo Uzuegbu, unveiled the pilot scheme of the government’s DRS initiative, warning criminal elements to repent or meet their waterloo. Governor Mbah spoke when he received the new CP, who was on both a familiarisation and working visit to the Government House, Enugu, on Tuesday. He said: “The Distress Response Squad (DRS), which pilot scheme will be commissioned today, is going to house over a hundred very highly sophisticated and technologically equipped vehicles when fully launched. “We are going to have security surveillance cameras installed in all the vehicles of the DRS. Those security surveillance cameras will have the capability of facial recognition and number plate recognition. “We are already constructing the Command and Control Centre, which will be ready for commissioning in few weeks. The idea is that we are able to monitor from that location what is going on across our cities and across all the communities in the state. “We are doing this in partnership with the police and this is a demonstration of the state’s commitment to supporting the police in fighting crime. And I want to assure you that we are going to continue in that trend to ensure that together we rid criminality out of our state”.[/b] Mbah, while also aligning with the new CP’s resolve to rid the state of every criminal element, said the state was investing heavily in technology to prevent and solve crimes, and urged those still inclined to crimes to embrace the new order or be prepared to meet the penalty. “I align with you completely in informing the criminals that there is no room for them, there is no bush for them, and there is no forest for them to hide in Enugu State. We must continue to make our state secure to attract investors. We are calling on our young people to understand that a venture in criminality is merchandise in doom. They must come out plain, repent, drop their weapons, and allow us to build a state where they will be gainfully employed”, he asserted. The governor assured the CP of government’s total support, saying his administration would “provide all the required resources necessary for us to attain a peaceful and fully secure Enugu State”. [b]Speaking, CP Uzuegbu said he had already noted the various axis and roads in the state challenged by insecurity, and assured the people of their security as he had since gone to work to consolidate on what had been achieved. “My vision and mission here is to ensure that people here in this state will sleep with their two eyes closed. I know that this is a home of tourism; I want to assure you that visitors who are here for tourism will be safe. I want a state where the people will come here and do their businesses every day of the week, invest and create job opportunities for our teeming population. I want to have a state where there is a sense of belonging and unity in diversity. This is my motto, my vision and mission. “I am a man of war. All perpetrators of all kinds of criminalities should repent of their sin or be ready to meet their waterloo. I want them to rethink and repent because under my watch, Enugu State will be very hot for them. I will deal ruthlessly with those who are ruthless to the state. This I can assure you”, he emphasised.[/b]
BoldBrainz: Seeing how the man's name is "Shehu", you're suddenly giving vague responses, because of your apparent reluctance to be in confrontation with the Northerners.
We all know how you'd have been foaming from both ends of the mouth if the person in question had a Southern name different from what's obtainable in your region.
There's a reward for wickedness and double standards. And that reward often comes in a vehicle called "Karma Courier Services".
If the name had sounded Igbo, he had launched the most vitriol of all times
Civilians Like Tinubu Have Perfected The Skill Of Executing Civilian Coup Successfully" -Mahdi Shehu
Mahdi Shehu, a Nigerian political analyst, has criticized President Tinubu's recent ministerial appointments, suggesting that individuals like Tinubu have become adept at orchestrating successful civilian coups.
After President Bola Tinubu disclosed the designated roles for the 45 confirmed ministerial candidates on Wednesday, differing viewpoints have emerged. While some citizens find the allocated portfolios satisfactory, Mahdi Shedu has expressed skepticism regarding the caliber of appointees and has raised concerns about marginalization.
He remarked, "Fortunately for Nigerians, this might, with hopeful prayers, be the briefest cabinet tenure. We hope for that outcome. And when it proves brief, we anticipate that Nigerians from the North East, Central, South East, and North West will exhibit wisdom, act judiciously, behave prudently, and govern sagaciously. However, the key takeaway from this ministerial list and portfolio is that the ability to successfully execute a coup doesn't rest solely with military personnel. Civilians like Bola Ahmed Tinubu have mastered the art and technique of orchestrating a civilian coup effectively, smoothly, and without violence."
He added, "I extend my congratulations to him while sympathizing with Nigerians. I also commend the South West for apparently paving the way for an Oduduwa Republic."
Freetech: If Bagudu is a criminal because he worked with Abacha.
Why are you now supporting all round failure Obi who was a right hand man of Abacha at the Nigerian port. All the money stolen from Nigeria went through him
The worse is calling him a saint and Nigerian saviour.
A man who failed at school, at governance. in Anambra and at business His next UK closed down because he could not pay tax
Most of you turn logics on it's head. Where did he say he's against him because he worked with Abacha?. The originator of the article which is a reputable foreign media said US targets his assets because of his corrupt tendencies under Abacha. Why didn't the same US target the assets of others who worked under Abacha?.
By the way, Obi was never a minister under Abacha.
Abacha only gave him go ahead to solve a specific task, after listening to Obi.
