fergie001:
My opinion is a capital letter N O, NO.

Why?

madridguy:
If you know how much our governors are making monthly you won't be saying how much is the security votes.

Lol, is the security votes more than nigeria defence spending? The policing issue in Nigeria is not just only due to lack of funding, there are structural issues which only constitutional and internal (police) reforms can sort out...

ednut1:
No Governor or stooge will lose elections with state police.

Very True

ILoveNG:
Although there are a lot of advantages that comes with state police. The most important is that it brings policing closer to the people. We can only enjoy this and other advantages of state police if our states can fund it adequately and if we’ve decided to shun nepotism.

Many people would believe adequate funding alone would guarantee a successful state policing. But the truth is, nepotism poses a greater threat to the success of state policing than funding.

You would understand better if you have had issues in a new state that you visited and you had issues with some indigenes which necessitated that you involve the police, only for the accused indigenes and the officers on duty to start speaking in the indigenous language of the said state, leaving you in total confusion.

This is very true, and u must also factor in the heterogeneity of some states in Nigeria, even now, during elections, there is power tussle between ethnic groups in the state, now if there is complete autonomy to state governors over state police, i fear it may be weaponized ...

madridguy:
Say no to State Police.

Charge your state governors, they're the chief security of each states, let them start spending their security votes instead of looting it.

Security votes is not to blame, how much is the so-called security votes sef...

State Policing must be rolled out in Nigeria, but it must be done carefully and in a balanced way, we must decentralize but not grant complete autonomy to the states

APCNig:
State Police is the solution to insecurity in the country.

Once States have their own Police, then if they like, let them allow Bandits, Kidnappers and Armed Robbers overrun their respective states

Yes i agree, but my concern is, what level of autonomy should state government have on their respective police departments?

DMerciful:
Decentralizing the police to if possible local government level is akin to each community protecting their villages before the coming of the British to form the country Nigeria.

Before the coming of the British, small autonomous communities were able to protect themselves through arrangements like vigilantes that were very effective, which I likened to city police. We're saying the police should be brought back to that microscopic level. If the policing of a community depends on a person who is not from that place and stays 1000km away, how will it be effective?

As for the cons you said, the pros far outweigh the cons

Lol, oga u dy hear yourself at all?
Nigeria is a sovereign state, before the British came, there was nothing like a unified state entity in Nigeria....now as a unified sovereign entity, everything has to be organized to ensure the stability of the state...
Nigeria cannot afford autonomous local government policing, the countries u mention as example have far bigger economies, but the case is different in Nigeria and u must factor in these challenges as we make reforms...
The Nigerian police must be reformed and decentralized to an extent, my point is for balance ...

DMerciful:
Each of the nationalities that makes up Nigeria were living for thousands of years before the British came. They did not go into extinction because of crime. Its not that hard!

Abeg how does this relate to the topic, please educate me sir

DMerciful:
We Nigerians always look for reasons why change will not work rather than putting the necessary checks in place to make it work.

Our current security architecture is not working because its too centralized but you want us to remain stuck with it. Decentralized police structure is working well in other climes yet you're looking at Nigeria has having a unique problem.

Do you know what federalism is all about? You can call Nigeria a federal system yet doing things that are against federalism

Oga can u even read at all?
Have you read tru this thread and all u deduced is that i am canvassing against decentralization? Nawa oh..
I said, Total decentralization has too much cons for Nigeria, while decentralization is needed,there is need for a degree of federal control and coordination with states ...

DMerciful:
You keep going to the US! What is the crime rate in Canada? What is the crime rate in the UK?

The US have the second amendment that gives citizens the right to own guns so thats where their insecurity is coming from; guns in the hands of drug addicts and gangs.

Because it works very well in Canada, does not mean that the cons are not valid, especially when u seek to apply it to Nigeria... while gun ownership is part of the problem, the law enforcement structure in the US is also playing a role in crime...

DMerciful:
In Canada, you have police even upto the city level. Each city has their own police. For example, Warri police, Owerri police, Ikorodu police. This way they're able to respond to crime faster because they know almost everybody within their domain

That is the same thing with the US, my disagreement with this method is the fact that the city police of US is controlled by the City council, and funded by it as well ..so if a city's economy is weak, it will affect police funding, what about personnel, some cities may find it difficult to recruit staffs...
Look at Washington DC city council trying to vote on a new crime bill to address rising crime rates in the city, Trump has vowed Federal takeover of the city if he wins....so u can see that police rules varies very much across different cities and this can lead to different crime rates in the country...
While i advocate for a certain level of decentralization, i believe the federal government must still be actively involved in policing....

SoNature:
Before state police can work, governors MUST take 100% control of resources in their states.

With the FIJ report that shows only 11 states can pay civil servants and meet their obligations without federal allocation, there's no way governors can afford to sustain state police.

Yes you are right, states have to be economically viable to enable state Policing, but this is also a con of totally decentralized policing, because states with weak economy will have weak police...so there has to be very strong coordination with the federal government in all aspects for state policing reforms...

DMerciful:
How do you think Canada is? You look for the worst to justify why you're not progressive

I do not have a good idea of Canada's police structure, please educate me ..like i said, there are always pros and cons

While i agree that Governors in Nigeria should play a greater role in Law enforcement, i do not agree that they should have full control of police forces....
I believe governors and states can tweak rules and law enforcement strategies in their respective states, but it should still be in coordination with the federal government one way or another...
Nigerian Police Must Reform, But it must be done correctly....

While there is huge clamour for state policing in Nigeria...i believe we must weigh in the pros and cons ..
Personally for me, i believe state policing should only be on a personnel basis...for example, the Bayelsa state police command should comprise of at least 70 percent Bayelsa citizens....
In a federal state, i do not subscribe to the idea of states, owning and funding their own police with different sets of laws .. especially in a heterogenous state like Nigeria....look at Ethiopia for example, each region has well armed forces, this led to tigray defying Federal orders...
The USA is battling with crime , because each city have their own police, with varying rules, funding, e.t.c... i do not agree with this, security of a state should be uniform, same rules, one police command, this is to achieve unified security outcomes in the federation...
In the USA, City A has better economic, this will translate to a better well funded police force, city B has poor economy, this will led to a weaker police force...City A has Liberal leaders in their councils, this may lead to different rules and regulations for police and law enforcement, City B has conservatives, vice versa...
I do not agree with this, security must be uniform, under the direction and leadership of the federal government....
What are your thoughts...

Great thread OP....
your points are very good, mentally rise above sex, it is very important for a man to achieve self-control.... Thumbs up OP

Which kind thread be dis, una sound like robot

pansophist:
That Nigeria go better.

No, it will not get better. It will only get worse. For Nigeria to be better, there must be a culture change, something similar to the cultural revolusion in China done by Mao, which laid the foundation for what China is today.

The constitution has to change, and every Nigerian from top to bottom must care for their fellow countryman like their brother. Only then, there will be hope for better days. Love plus love equals progress. Hate plus hate equals regress.

But as it is right now, the country is on the wrong bus, going to the wrong destination, with a blind driver, and no brake. Sorry.

U go just open mouth dy talk rubbish...
What was China's cultural revolution all about? U dont know...
If not for death of Mao, China would have collapsed... thanks to the changes undertaken by deng xiaoping, it led to china growing to what it is today ..
Culture revolution of killing people with opposite thoughts, how does that help...same thing happened in Iran after the revolution...
A society in this modern day needs plurality of thoughts under a cohesive mechanism...

Trump won the 2020 Election...
It is 2024 and some Americans with brain still believe the last elections was stolen...i give it to trump team for pushing this lie and maintaining it for the last 3 years...

This match sweet oh

Can it play multiplayer?

LordReed:


If your point is China and Russia have a non aggression alliance, maybe but you characterizing it as them being one is far off the mark.

But more to my point do you see that Putin formed this alliance after he launched his Ukraine offense? Why do you think he did that? Because he didn't want China to see it as an opportunity to take his Eastern flank. That is a fear the Russians have had since before Stalin.

Lol u get time to argue with brainwashed folks....
Russia and China one country my left foot, people who have no idea of history, coming to blab rubbish
