Mk93:

he is right. security votes should be for minor case. or do you want the money to carry guns and start fighting insecurity?

princeade86:
Speak for urself . there are states that more peace.

Och77:
I think if we must establish state police then Governors should have partial immunity. On matters concerning impunity on security whereby Governors are seen to use the state police selfishly then they should be prosecuted even while in office. I think this is the only way we can effectively tackle pressing security issues in Nigeria.

jcmaiah:

Oga his said he doesn't have control over police. What does that have to do with security vote? If you are not allowed to hire someone what use is the what meant for such?

SarakiBukola:


Which security is minor and which is major ?

Enlighten me, i am here to learn.

Mk93:
an example of a minor security case is community clash or misunderstanding. in this case they can be negotiated with to come up with a reasonable solution. you don't expect a governor to start fighting faceless cultists,robbers, kidnappers or terrorist.

Mk93:

which state is peaceful today especially in the north?

SarakiBukola:


I respectfully beg to disagree with your last sentence

Cultists, robbers and even kidnappers are under the purview of a Governor.

Terrorists might be outside his scope because they have international backers and funding etc..

A good example. Bukola Saraki as Kwara Governor crushed cultism in the state effectively. How he converted them to his private army is a story for another day.

But 200million+ naira monthly isn't for community squabbles. NO

iammo:



Ode, you can tackle Insecuirity by creating economic oppurtunity that would lead to meaningfull employment to the jobless youths instead of dancing shaku shaku with over $1million secuirity votes monthly.

with such secuirity votes he can convineintly start building agroprocessing factories at each local goverment

princeade86:
kwara is peaceful.

Mk93:

what did Saraki use in fighting the cultists since he has no security forces under his command?

SarakiBukola:


Wicked man. So security votes are just for peppersouping and suyaing ?

I agree that State Police would improve the security situation but..... some Governors would still embezzle money meant for State Police

SarakiBukola:


Well maybe you should ask him since you said a Governor has no control over security in his state.

Done with this.

Mr Governor, mind what you are saying.
What has a beginning must surely have an end.
Thanks to Obj and Jona for the miserable lives and death they brought upon this nation. through Boko Haram, Kidnapping and Killings.
Posterity will judge them both!

Luciferlove:
This is so true...we know that the best way to curb the herdsmen menace is not by building colony as the government is proposing,rather is by state policing.
I know the disadvantages are there considering police becoming a tool in the governors hand.But the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages here....Even in America this is the practice !!!!
But what do I even know sef.

MobilityExpress:
We already have many militias in this country, from street gangs, to vigilantes, to cultists, to organized crime mafias, to militants, to terrorists. State police would be just another Governor's militia that will eventually be politicized and used to suppress opposition and oppress non-conforming citizens. State police will just be another 'Gestapo' rising. Most of our Governors already have power-drunk dictatorship tendencies, and they are just looking for foot soldiers to solidify their rule. State police is a very big NO. Nigeria is not civilized enough for it. State police is not a MUST before states can have good security. What are the governors doing with their inflated security votes money?These wayo governors sef
