Edo state security wise is far better than your supposedly neighbor state to Edo. Go sit down abeg

Oh come on. I'm just giving a more general advise about how I think money can be better spent, and I would give that same advise to my own state. I'm not trying to say one place is better than the other... I'm just saying that I think the problem we're seeing with insecurity is because of lack of employment. When they brought okada and then keke, it was about employing youths. If instead they used that money to just get more security back then, do you think we would have been safer? I doubt it.

There are so many people all over Nigeria who are able to earn money legitimately all over Nigeria because of NAPEP, and so do not resort to crime. I'm simply suggesting that Edo go further and provide more sources of employment, which might be a longer-term solution. That's all.

Very good. All states should look in this direction

Donmedra:

Mr Sabi sabi, the employed for this security outfit are the ghosts or from other states? If this is not employment what else is it? Most Okada riders were people who had lost their previous jobs, some never had jobs, others were fresh graduates that couldn't find jobs. Are aware that Okada was only banned from major roads and streets due to the high crime rate it was used for? Are you aware of the very high accidents rates with high casualties and the risks they posed because most of rode without caution or care for other road users?
many of una just yarn dust without a simple understanding of one issue and how it interweaves with other issues which a responsible govt like Obaseki is trying to fix?
I was born, raised and educated in Benin but presently living outside, I visit Benin twice yearly to spend 2 weeks and I'm impressed by the progress we governor is making and our people at home are happy to see how gradually things are falling in place.
The most noise-makers against Edo are either non-Edo people, people who have never stepped into Edo but hears rumours and they propagate same, the Edos who shout their voices hoarse against our govt are mostly people who used to participate is sharing our money into their private pockets which is no longer same and life is hard for them now. They are thrive in chaos by doing dirty jobs for useless politicians but not anymore. Others are former Agberos who used to feed on other people's sweat by intimidation and bullying but not anymore except perhaps other cities or towns outside benin, Agberos have contained in Benin and they are not happy.
Make una leave Edo for Edo people, our gonernor is working and gradually help our people to change their mindset...

The primary reason for insecurity is lack of employment opportunities, and the money spent here would have seen much better use if invested in SMEs. Identify a few important sectors, and for each company: use half the money to procure equipment for them; insist they employ 5 Edo youths for one year, and use the other half the money to pay those youths' salaries for that year. This is a bit like NYSC in the way that government pays allowee (in this case salary), and the hiring company is guaranteed Human Resources without worrying how to pay for them. This way you know that employees are actually being paid, and equipment is being used.

Instead, we now have a situation where the government will need to spend even more money on fuel, maintenance, and security personnel. The money has gone to enrich foreign car and motorcycle makers; even uniforms and reflective jackets has added to the bottom line of foreign companies.

We will also see increasing tension with the existing police force, and yet another means for the security people to extort money from citizens (i.e. bribes).

At the same time, youths have no job opportunities, industry has not grown, and we'll see in a few years, these same vehicles rusting under some mango tree somewhere.

nickxtra:
The governor himself is a threat, so what do you expect from his trained "children"

Who made him a threat? You and your cronies I guess.We are talking of what will benefit the state,youth would be employed,and some of those touts we see on the street would have reduced,but everything is politics.
