They don't want to argue it but would focus on the Okpa - Izu debacle to make the make point obscure. The endpoint is to deviate. Haven't you noticed how the initial response to LiveLongNProspa has been deliberately ignored to focus on the minority issue?

It's deliberate and I'd have further that goal if I jumped into fray. Muddying the waters is a tactics I understand too well. Women do it frequently enough for any man not to understand the benign intention.
If I were of another very distant ethnicity/tribe/region, the play would have been tribalistic tags to make me cower even when we know that isn't the point.

The hysteria is just theatrics. I know this, you know this, we know this.

Thunder fire you.

The governor lamented that a lack of arrests and prosecution of armed groups makes some citizens feel their attackers are being protected.

“Under the last regime, the feeling of the people in Plateau State, particularly the victims of these terrorist attacks, is that, it looks as if the terrorists were given official government backing to be able to terrorise them because little or nothing was done to repel these attacks,” Mutfwang added.

The governor disclosed that he would engage President Bola Tinubu to give instructions to security agencies to protect the state and other parts on the country.

Well, the current governor blames Buhari administration for allowing Plataeu to be a fertile ground for terrorists to grow.

He is not serious he's the Chief Security Officer of the state for crying out he should stop this blame game and spring into action to prevent continuous bloodshed.

We're talking achievements in infrastructures specifically...

larride:


My brother I dey. How your side?

BlueRayDick:


U are partly right and he's also partly right.

He's partly right because only the police, DSS, NSCDC and other FG controlled security agencies that can actually investigate and effect arrest of suspected terrorists carrying out these killings.

You are partly right by saying he's not serious. A serious governor will do everything to protect his people even if he's incapacitated by the inaction of FG controlled security agencies. Just like Raumdeuter suggested yesterday, nothing stops Plateau & Benue state governors from floating their own state security/paramilitary agencies like Amotekun in Southwestern states. At least they get security votes which nobody knows what they use it for.

Instead of discussing with this Tinubu administration and waiting for help that may take so long to come, they can put things in place and fund their own paramilitary agency for the protection of their people.

I dey bro.

Compliments of the season.

Nothing less.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:





The police, army, airforce, navy does not take order from the governor. Terrorists with assault rifles, machine guns, AA-guns how u wan fight dem with local vigilantee armed with pump action?

larride:


Some of these Govenors are not serious jare. Nothing stop them from having a security trust fund and fully funding a unit of a police/mopol department that will be dedicated to their state.

Look at Lagos for example, Lagos has the Lagos State Security Trust fund which is used to fund the Neighborhood Corp, RRS and the likes. RRS are from the same police force but Lagos takes over their welfare and operational needs and to a very large extent the Governor has control over them. That's why you will rarely see RRS engaging in extortion and the likes that their normal police officer do.

Like you said, the Governors should put their security vote to use and protect their people while they contionously hold the FG neck to do their damn job of protecting the lives and properties of the people they swore an oath to protect.

BlueRayDick:


As in.... Sometimes u can't but wonder what some of these governors have in mind before buying gubernatorial nomination form to run for governor.

I mean as a private citizen who has lived among his people and knows the problem that plagues them, it is expected that u already have plans to combat insecurity which is the biggest challenge of Plateau state considering many years of inter-ethnic crisis and tribal related killings in the state. Anybody that is not having a workable plan to combat this should even be allowed to win his party's governorship ticket.

He should have all these plans about putting his security vote/security trust fund to work even before he won the election. Now he's waiting for FG that almost all the 36 states are waiting for to help sort their respective security challenges.

He can argue that funding a unit of the police may not be enough to combat insecurity/terrorism of that scale, but there's still the need for him to fund a paramilitary unit like Amotekun that can act in intelligence gathering capacity for the police/military.

Nobody is debating whether Igbo's love themselves or not, I'm sure every tribe has its own version of interethnic discrimination. You went off tangent by trying to build your argument off a non-existent proof (1 + 1 != Eba)

BTW anybody can aggregate news that's 4hrs stale and present in list form, it's not exactly a selling point

Amoto94:

We had security challenges in Kogi State where kidnappers terrorised motorists in highways across the state (we still do to some extent) ,then Yahaya Bello set up a Security Joint Task Force and provided logistics support to them.

larride:


Maybe they forgot that part of their oath of office was to protect the lives and properties of the citizens of their state.

The hard conversation about policing in Nigeria will need to be discussed. We cant continue on this path. As long as the Governors can always hide behind the FG, the tendency of abdicate their own responsibilities is very high. Just collect security vote every month and flex with it.

The NPF cannot adequately police the entire country currently and alot of states are already militarized which shouldn't be so. Something has to give.

BlueRayDick:


Yeah it's going to be a hard conversation.

1.State policing can help curb activities of non-state actors in parts of the sates that are not adequately policed.

2. State policing can be abused by state governors to witch-hunt their perceived enemies/members of the opposition.

There must be a middle ground somewhere somehow

Itsrm:


Maybe a situation where Federal Police have some form of higher authority over state police.

So when governors attempt to abuse their powers, the federal government can always come in

It was when he first contested I knew the wife isn't Yoruba and that she is older than him by at least 3 years.

I despise people like the guy in that video because they come with all sorts of bulllshitt when a person dies; bullshittts they can't say while the person is alive. Akeredolu has been married to the woman for over 30 years and they've enjoyed a fruitful and happy union even while he was in private practice. He has never for once made any statement that suggests the woman is taking advantage of him.

Now the man has blood cancer that took his life and a random nobody is spilling conspiracy theory about the woman being opportunistic and all sort of gibberish. If the woman believed in prayer, the man will most probably still die all the same. I remember Fayose's sister who is a strong believer who had breast cancer that year, she died eventually. The woman even celebrated her own death before she died eventually .(It was in Tribune newspaper that year)

A regards the Owo church attack confessional video, the thing looks suspicious and scripted
