Dreal1247: If there is steady and affordable power supply, Nigeria has the potential of overtaking all of these countries.

Jakumo:

Please just smoke two joints of strong African bush, and call me with a progress report in the morning. You are allowing worries to cause more worries.

abiodunalasa: So what are the other options, dont tell me communism or socialism.





Did u read the article at all?
I dnt think so

gbenga4sure: Fellow Nairalanders,I Will Give Reasons Why There Should Be Creation of Ibadan state.Below are the reasons.
1.)According to 2006 population census ibadan city alone has a population of 2,559,850.(Two million five hundred and fifty nine thousand,eight hundred and fifty).Which shows that Ibadan city alone is bigger than the whole (a.)yobe state with a population of 2,321,591.(b)Ebonyi with a population of 2,173,501.(c)Ekiti with a population of 2,384,212.(d)kwara with a population of 2,371,089.(f)Gombe with a population of 2,353,879.And even taraba nasarawa and bayelsa.This shows that Ibadan city alone is more populous than 8 states.
2.)Ibadan is the largest city in west africa.Ibadan is really big that you cant go round the city of ibadan in a day onlike many other cities in Nigeria like warri,akure,port-harcourt,enugu,ilorin,ondo,abeokuta,e.t.c. Ibadan really deserves a state didn't it.

Reski: Well it is easy for the coas to play the blame game. Lets keep welfare aside the kind of officer's we have commanding these guys are nothing to right home about. Why won't the soldier's desert when most of our officer's lack the capacity lead effectively on the battle field. They find it difficult to develop strategie's to checkmate bokoharam on the battle field but are expert's in womanizing and giving irresponsible order's that will lead these young soldier's to their death's. ''They are no bad team's there are only bad coache's. Until we get the right people to manage our armed force's through transparent recruitment process. There is also a need to retrain the current crop of incompetent never do well officer's we have at the helm's of affair's.

Andyblaze: One day i will rule tthis country and make every citizen rich by putting 5 million in every body's account

Blockus:


The minimum requirement is Perfect as you cant expect a school cert holder (by Nigerian school standards) to be intelligent enough to properly interprete the Laws. The Nigerian Police should no longer be the dumping ground for school dropouts. It should carry some form of respect and dignity. If School Cert holders must join the police, then they should be put in the Traffic Control Unit and not given any weapons.

@ Your Post;

1. The Nigerian Police already has a Whistle Blowing Unit - NOPRIN foundation?

2. The State Government has VERY little control over the Police as the Nigerian Police is a Federal Institution.

3. Police Intelligence unit.

4. There is a snitch unit in the Nigerian Police for informants.. Problem is nobody snitches to the police because nobody trusts the police.

5. The Mobile Police division and SARS (Special Anti Robbery Squad) are Nigerias equivalent of SWAT (Special Weapons & Tactics).

Blockus: [b]1. Systematically phase out the old guys. Reason: You cant teach an old Dog new tricks.
2. Increase the recruitment requirement from 'School Cert' to OND or 6 Credit in WAEC and subject all intakes to pass through an entrance examination conducted by an independent body or firm. Also, all entrants must pass a psych evaluation by a certified shrink.
3. Police training college should be upgraded to a full educational institution like a Polythecnic where intakes enroll in different courses or Crime fighting and prevention.
4. Particular attention should be paid towards teaching the Nigerian police to honour the badge (Change all the Police logos to a proper badge).
5. All Police personnel must have Workmans compensation of not less than 5 million Naira for the lowest Police officer that is killed in the line of duty and 3 Million for those injured in the line of duty.
6. Improve Police welfare in general, creating housing schemes for them to buy into and loans and grants.
7. Inrease their salaries and make it favorable.
8. Make the Police I.T compliant. All matters are to be entered into a computer.
9. Replace all AK-47s and other Assault rifles currently in circulation and replace it with a standard issue 9mm Beretta pistol. Assault Rifles should be carried only by the Special Unit of the Mobile Police and SARS.
10. Make the Name Tags and Police I.D Number Bolder and bigger so its easy to read incase of ;Whistle blowing'.
11. Every Policeman must go in for some training and course every 2 years and must be psychologically evaluated every 2 years.
12. Equip all officers properly with;
- Side Arm
- Mace
- Teaser
- Set of Cuffs
- Flashlights
- Walkie-Talkie/Radio
- Baton
- Whistle.
13. Dash Cameras and onboard computers in all Patrol vehicles so an Officer can quickly check the I.D of a suspect to know if he has any outstanding. Sort of like access the Police Website.

paganizondar: Nice post. Good Analysis. Its just so sad that our police force has HIV(Immune deficiency syndrome)

Willy1willy: DEATH TO NIGERIA

akenuka: Someone should tell me that one trillion has finished.
The day corruption was given free way in Nigeria was the day it was agreed that security vote should not be accounted for.

Demdem:

The fear with that is it didn't start tgat way, after sometime the citizens will get used to the army also and back to square one.
The police must be made professionals?why must it be in Nigeria that Nigerians don't respect the police.
It's highly nauseating seeing the military manning polling booths, haba.

Demdem:

Good points u raised but the question is do u think the Nigerian Police, civil defence and other para military agencies aren't capable of curtailing such skimishes? Why unleash our last resort for such small small things? With time, the people will become immune to such and govt will find itself in a big mess with no other alternatives.
