Yawn

And how would they pay for the state police?

Honestly, the way we Nigerians talk...it gets annoying. Like the time Buhari was talking about N40 petrol without talking about how much it would cost our economy to guarantee that, or the time tinubu talks about agriculture...without talking about the actual reforms and cost needed to get there.

State police is necessary. But the problem is, Nigerians don't like paying for anything. Yes, it is true. And the only way you can adequately fund state police so that they won't run at the first sound of gunshot...is by taxing every economically active person in each and every state...at a high rate. That is how USA does it. Not by selling oil and sharing the money...taxation on all.

Has any state governor done so? No. Our tax uptake is still poor.

So tell me, which state is going to find money for the state police...or are they going to take another loan? I guess they want to take another loan.

Sigh.

Sorry, am male. My monicker is taken from the past, with a lot of meaning, if you care to look for it.

And I have spoken the truth.

Finally, am sad to see you hate women, especially as one would soon marry you, have your children and comfort you in your old age. Perhaps you should not marry a woman and marry a male instead...

Good morning.

No to state police. With this kind style of gov wike, no opposition will remain in is state.
The SS governor's should create their own regional security like omoteku. Employ the locals as vigilantes, it will help a lot

I didn't wish Buhari dead, so he no concern me.
There is something called Madarikan. Most of the people who wished Buhari dead are dead today. The only surviving one is Fayose and they recently patched his spinal cord.
Your parents and family members will soon join them.

And where did hating of women come from?? Well, if a lady decides to be a stupid and useless parasitic leech, then my words would definitely make her uncomfortable...if that's what you call hate, then the joke is on you...

Not until Peter Obi said so suddenly they start to realize state policing is the way to go….Stupiid set of old leaders without good thinking brains all they think and execute is evil for their selfish gains.

God in your mercy do not let us miss this opportunity of having Peter Obi as our President come 2023.

Re: Southern Governors: State Police Is The Only Solution To Insecurity by boldtruthalways: 9:14am On Sep 21, 2022
And Peter Obi has been firm on this. Southern Governors and Northern Nigeria should stand with Obi. Power should come to the South and a Southern Christian to balance it. That's how it should be....Northern Muslim to a Southern Christian. That's the way to unify the country. A Muslim should not have over to a Muslim and a Northerner should not hand over to a Northerner, a fulani should not hand over to a fulani. If you allow your conscience to tell you the truth, you'll know I'm saying the truth. Nigeria shall be Great again.

Indeed....state police , while needed, is a good smokescreen.

None of them have implemented it, because they know it would cost a lot of money.

Personally, we need state police. But I know Nigerians, once presented with the bill, they will scream and weep.

The south can get what they want if they are really serious about it! The north can oppose it all they want all the south need a united force from governor's to national assembly members to push same position.

Modifed

In the last fifteen minutes, I have gotten two abusive responses....from people who cannot, it seems engage my points at all. It is very sad that the annonymity of the web obscureth a lot.

I stand by what I wrote. You can abuse me, and if it makes you feel better, abuse me more. It shows I have gained power over you. But it would also be nice if someone would counter my point raised with actual counterpoints....

But then, this is nairaland.
I share your sentiment, Sir. To solve a problem, you have to dissect and analyze it properly.
State Police is good but where will the funding come from? Are our Governors sincere enough to use the funds judiciously when hardworking Nigerians are tasked?
Will the Police officers be given proper training??
Wouldn't the Governors be using them for their own selfish interest like Rigging Local Elections and guarding politicians' Children and Cronies??
Except these things are taken care of, it will be a Square peg in a round hole.

State Police. Firstly l would have advise those agitating for state police to look into the history books. Read it carefully, ask relevant questions from those still alive and possibly, the reason we have federally controlled police will help you. Let's not give to emotions in the face of reality. Most of our agitators for one reason or the other do not care to look into the history books.
The federation was designed to suit our own way of life not in the same category of the western countries who know their limitations and obey the law of the land.

Not state but community police is the key .

Each town have your own police dept , funded by taxes raised from the town . The town funds 50% , LG funds 20% , state funds 20 , and FG funds 10 ..


With this we will have quality policing

In saner climes where true Federalism is practiced, state police is key to guaranteeing public law and order. But here in Nigeria, some state leaders particularly from the North would always kick against it because they knew that once it is implemented, they will not have room to let loose their marauding Fulani cattle and rapists to terrorise other states at will or have other northern indigenes becoming the commissioner of police in a state they do not originate from. They also knew that if there is a state police, it would help to dismantle the "born to rule" entitlement mentality of the northern leaders, and that is something they cannot afford to happen. But it must happen.

If the southern states are serious, they should just go and set up their own police with or without approval from the central government. Period.
