PBAT is touching every sector

This man will go down in history as the best president ever

I feared the reforms will take half a decade to recover from but under two years, we are on the path of recovery

The last thing anyone of Yoruba origin will ever do is deny their yorubaness

It’s a tribe to be proud of anywhere and everywhere

How can your ancestors design sculptures that are thousands of years old and looking as good as the finest of this day and age and you won’t be proud?

How can you have so many talented folks in all spheres of life doing remarkable things and you won’t be proud?

Even people from the five plots atmosphere try to hide their identity, speak the language and give their children Yoruba names

Its a blessing to be Yoruba and if I wasn’t I would be pained and jealous too

God bless every Yoruba person

God bless Yorubaland

How are Non-Commissioned Officers referred to as senior officers?

And after working for 35yrs, what is expected of not retirement?

They are responsible for 99% of the crimes in their domain and 75% of the crimes everywhere else

This is Banana Island

Don’t know how on earth you thought what you posted was anything close in the first place

All 36 states have submitted their positions on State Police, with a majority agreeing on the need for state-controlled policing.

The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, revealed this to State House Correspondents after the 147th meeting of the National Economic Council at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Thursday.

He said, “Today, one of the discussions we had at the NEC meeting was the update on the creation of state police. As you are aware, there was a submission by states toward the establishment of state police.

“36 states have submitted, minus FCT. FCT is not a state. They explained why they had not submitted it. But 36 states have all submitted their own position on state police.

“From what is available, virtually most of the states are in agreement with the establishment of state police in Nigeria. I want to say here clearly that most of us are in agreement with the establishment of State Police.”

The Kaduna State Governor explained that the consensus stemmed from various security challenges across states.

He highlighted the central issue of ungoverned spaces in Nigeria and the acute shortage of security personnel, including the police, army, and other relevant agencies, which are unable to cover all areas adequately.

“That is why most of us agreed that the establishment of state police in Nigeria is the way forward toward addressing the problem of insecurity in our own country,” he stated.

However, the Council deferred final discussions until January, when a detailed report from the NEC secretariat will be presented for deliberation.

“But today, the Council decided to step down the discussion until the next council meeting because we need to come up with a report from the secretariat. After the report, there will be deliberation at the next NEC meeting, which will likely take place in January.

“Not only that. There was also a resolution in the last NEC meeting, which today the secretariat agreed on, stating that there will be further stakeholder engagement after the panel and deliberation by the members of the NEC.”

At its 146th meeting on November 21, the Council gave Adamawa, Kebbi, and Kwara States and the FCT one week (November 28) to submit their positions on the proposed creation of state police.

“The Council mandated these remaining states and FCT to make their submissions within the next one week,” the Bayelsa State Governor, Mr Duoye Diri, told State House Correspondents.

Diri said the three states and the nation’s capital are the only entities yet to submit reports out of the 36 states.

On February 15, 2024, the Federal Government, alongside the 36 states, began talks expected to culminate in the creation of state police.

This formed part of agreements reached at an emergency meeting between President Bola Tinubu and state governors at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

It followed the pockets of insecurity recorded nationwide, hikes in food price,s, and economic hardship.

Addressing State House Correspondents afterward, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, explained that the process was still in its infancy and would only take shape after more deliberations between stakeholders.

“The Federal Government and the state governments are mulling the possibility of setting up state police,” said Idris, adding that “this is still going to be further discussed.”

He explained, “A lot of work must be done in that direction. But if our government and the state governments agree to the necessity of having state police, this is a significant shift.”

Two days earlier, the House of Representatives said it was considering a legislative bill titled, ‘A bill for an Act to alter the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to provide for the establishment of State Police and related matters.’

Following this agreement, the National Economic Council requested each state to submit detailed reports outlining their positions and plans for implementing state police. By March 2024, 16 states had submitted their reports, with the remaining 20 expected to do so by May.

In April 2024, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum announced that the decisions of the remaining 20 governors were ready for submission to the NEC, indicating a unified commitment among the states to establish state police forces.

Despite these, as of the last NEC meeting, the implementation of state police remains only in the planning stages as the FG and state authorities continue to haggle on the constitutional amendments required to empower states to establish and manage their police forces.

Asked why the process has been slow-paced in the past nine months, the Bayelsa Governor argued that the Council is determined to hasten the process and get its members to submit their reports by November 28.

“On the issue of state police today, when the decision was taken, even before it was, the three states in question, one of them [Adamawa] was represented by the Deputy Governor, had earlier made submissions that they presented their report.

“So that was why NEC could not come out immediately to say ‘A or B,’ but rather give a timeline. And that timeline, as you can see, was very short: one week for them to go and do whatever they are doing so that decisions will be made by the next NEC meeting. And, from how they reacted, I’m sure that maybe we have some bureaucracy regarding the submission.”

The debate for creating state police in Nigeria primarily stems from the centralised nature of the Nigerian Police Force, which many security pundits perceive as inadequate for addressing the unique security challenges across the country’s diverse regions.

Proponents argue that the outfit would bring law enforcement closer to the communities they serve, enhance the effectiveness of policing, and allow for more localised control over security matters.

However, opponents fear that state police could lead to the abuse of power, particularly in states with firm political control, potentially exacerbating regional tensions and undermining national unity.

That’s foreign news to those in Nigeria

It’s just one of our war torn neighboring countries

If there’s need for the Nigeria Army to step in, they would

We are not the same and never will

Yorubas have a strong cultural heritage and we have values and traditions which we cherish

That’s why I keep advocating for regional government

Let it reign from Ondo, to Ogun, to Ekiti, Osun, Oyo and Kwara

Those 500,000 tonne of cocoa within 2 years, with 1 tonne of cocoa 1 hectare of land

1 tonne of cocoa is valued at $10,500.

That’s almost $6 billion dollars yearly for the 6 states.

Obidient News Media on overdrive

Whether or not you admit it, banditry in the north has drastically reduced

Even when we hear of kidnappings a few times, the victims get liberated by the army under 72hrs

Insecurity may not be totally eliminated. Especially as long as we have porous borders with Niger and Chad in the North but anyone honest with his/herself can tell that Nigeria is more secure in 2024 than it was in the last one decade

Thumbs up to our military and I hope they sustain the tempo

John Fashanu did way more than this

One day they will show her the color of skin and remind her where she came from. That day will come and she will look back like John Fashanu has (that he even had to relocate back home) and it would be too late

Nigeria will in twenty years be better than the UK she ran to

His enemies said he will spend more than half of his tenure in the hospital

His enemies said he was all about the bala blu and he would not last a year

This is a man that tripped on his agbada at event and stood up like many of his detractors would not and still even attended a state function that same night

Clearly he’s mentally and physically strong and he will be the best president Nigeria ever had

I pray in the end we achieve regionalism because that is all that will make sense as far as I’m concerned

God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

God bless Yorubaland

God bless Nigeria

Enemies will be pained

They will call in propaganda

Whether you like it or not, Nigeria will work under PBAT

We are already half way there and the storm is over

God bless Nigeria

Tinubu is unarguably the bravest president Nigeria ever had

The easiest thing he could have done was to retain subsidy and continue to defend the Naira while he uses the opportunity to fleece the country like many before him had done

It’s only those who understand Economics that know the effects are already taking shape in the macroeconomic landscape and it is slowly improving the lives of Nigerians

You don’t have to agree but this is a man who is thinking long term and not about the next elections which he will win by the way

I just hope he ends up making regional governance happen

Despite proposing one of the biggest 2024 budgets, there was really nothing to show for it

I’d really like to see the 2024 budget performance for Abia State

If Onne & Calabar Ports cannot achieve it, then no river port situated anywhere within the land locked SE can

You folks keep complaining about Lagos’ dominance but have you tried importing through Onne and you were stopped?

D

The APC keeps getting stronger m

It’s the BAT effect

I’m not even a member but I can tell PBAT is economically sound and knows what he’s doing

2027 will be a very easy ride

G

I can imagine what they will be going through now if Biafra had succeeded under Ojukwu

The way you always want to oppress them and force them to accept what they have consistently denied only shows the level of your toxicity

This man is just a content creator like Simon Ekpa

Anything for the gram

So he expects Aare to drop the charges that has brought his illustrious career to disrepute?

By the way, there’s nothing he’s every intervened in that was resolved

Even when he went with cameras to reconcile the P-Square brothers, they ended up growing further apart

Anything this man touches ends up in crisis or more crisis

Even the Obidients are in tears lamenting everyday a and bitter from licking their wounds

jmoore:
Come to southeast and check it by yourself.

Agadi na agwo ofe!

Did you get approval from the UGM before posting this?

Were they informed before inviting us over to inspect?

Monday we stay at home

Tuesday we dodge bullets

Odingo1:
South Eastern Nigeria is totally locked up by joint corroboration between Southwest and the North and then turn around and blame people for flocking to Lagos the former capital of Nigeria developed with oil money.

No functional international airport or Seaport in the east. No FG presence. Everything in concentrated in Lagos and the North.

I wonder why you will seize everything to yourself and turn around to say people are coming to Lagos where you keep everything.

Seaport when there’s no SE state contiguous with the sea?

You have Onne and Calabar Ports which are functional

Enugu Airport is an international airport just like Lagos airport is

What exactly is your problem with comprehension?

Use what you have like the rest of the country has

Why would anyone want to invest in a place where you can’t work on Mondays

In a place where Unknown Gunmen will attack you everyday

A place where they would vandalize your property every weekend

Whatever happened to running in Anambra, Enugu or Ebonyi?

This time around, the results will shock you

A Yoruba hater and IPOB sympathizer can never rule Lagos

Besides that, the guy is full of emptiness and can not point to any project he has singlehandedly executed or team or company he has led

Even an LCDA in Lagos is too big for him to handle

God bless Yorubaland

We are moving forward

No time

Let’s take a moment to remember our brothers across the bridge imprisoned in their own homes or dodging bullets and erosion on their streets today

Some people will not sleep this night. He’s not coming alone but with major technocrats

Soyinka will shake hands with the German President

The same Trump that they think will force the FBI to release Tinubu’s files which clearly have no wrongdoing, will visit Nigeria after his inauguration next year

Bookmark my comment

They should just merge all the SE states into one state and save the stress of sending allocations to a very unproductive region

From Ogun, the Purple Line will extend to Ore in Ondo all the way to Ekiti, while the Red Line which runs on the Lagos-Ibadan rail line will extend to Osun and Kwara

The Green Line towards Epe will also get into Ogun and Ondo

I love the synergy in the South West and we are on our way to becoming prosperous once again

I pray we achieve regionalism in the end and rid our region of these leeches

God bless Yorubaland
