Real talk on this State Police matter.
Nobody is saying we don't need more security personnel. We need Federal Police, State Police, Army, Civil Defence, Amotekun, Vigilantes โ everybody. The insecurity is getting ridiculous, so more boots on the ground sounds good on paper.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room: money.
Federal Police collect federal salaries and allocations, yet plenty of them still turn checkpoints into personal ATM machines. Now imagine creating State Police in states that are struggling to pay workers' salaries and minimum wage. How exactly is that supposed to end well?
Forget political abuse for a minute. We already know governors will try to use them against opponents. That's almost guaranteed. But even before that, let's discuss the basics.
What happens when salaries are delayed for 3, 4, or 6 months?
What happens when a policeman in Kwara, Kogi, Ebonyi or Zamfara discovers that his colleague of the same rank in Lagos is earning twice his salary?
Do we honestly think armed men with families to feed will simply smile and endure?
Let's stop pretending hunger and frustration don't change human behaviour. An angry, underpaid civil servant is already a problem. An angry, underpaid man carrying an AK-47 is an even bigger problem.
Some states are already owing teachers, pensioners and civil servants. If they can't consistently pay unarmed workers, what confidence do we have that they'll consistently pay armed officers?
And when salary delays happen, who suffers? The ordinary citizen.
This isn't an argument against State Police. It's an argument against creating State Police without first solving the funding problem.
If we're serious about it, there should be minimum funding requirements, an independent salary structure, guaranteed welfare standards, and strict federal oversight before any state qualifies.
Otherwise, we may end up creating a force that becomes a worse version of the problem we're trying to solve.
Security is important. But giving guns to people whose salaries are uncertain is not a security strategy. That's a gamble.
Wetin una think?
There is this growing trend amongst the youth were everyone wants to show they are successful while in truth they are silently struggling and surviving.
#Dont let the world pressure you. Remain consistent & pray for better days.
For ADC to win APC in the upcoming 2027 Election.
- Its simple play them at their own game.
- Use similar strategy to execute and accelerate the pedal by hammering on their weak points.
Sadly, suffering & insecurity has opened the eyes of Nigerians.
If the security architecture of Nigeria is weakened then its time to engage our neighbors to help us out with peace keeping missions in the country.
Nigeria is gradually becoming another sudan were lives are been lost everday #MayGodsave ๐ณ๐ฌ
@TruthTrumpPost The U.S has also lost major assets in the war. Hope the Iranians will build those assets destroyed by the war too? However, U.S should review why it started the war in the first place before signing any deal.
Nigeria is in dear need of a good leader who knows the feelings of its citizens.
Not a leader who hides in propaganda.
Unfortuantly those meant to serve as spokes men are bought over into the ruling party and the rest are caught BTW the truth & falsehood.
Nigeria elections are coming and those who are fund of rigging will start dusting their shoes.
Funny enough no single individual has the monopoly of Rigging but doing the right thing should be the best form of defence.
#SayNoRigging
This is the worst time to be a youth in Nigeria.
You are been pressured by those who don't even match your standard.
My advice is, if you are able to look pass the pressure you will come out a winner ๐ trust me.
As a man you are built to take care of your family someday. So if you are a Gen Z listen to this plz ๐
Don't waste away your youth chasing frivolous things. Build your capacity as a man and learn skills that will set you apart from the crowd.
In this generation its sad to see women talk about money as if without it life has ended.
I know some women will say they don't want to pass through what their parents passed through, fine.
Make yourself valuable as a woman. Learn skills & be proactive
@renoomokri After supporting the government your name will be written in the sands of time as false propagandist who happen to tell lies when in your mind you know the truth. If the government is transparent enough they should come with clean hands and not peddle lies
If you are from a poor background, you have enough work to do.
Stop lazying around and put your brains to work.
Stop womanising and make money. Note: "No shortcuts in life".
You might be the one to take your family out of poverty.
I am kind, matured and well cultured. I dont take people for granted as i often support in my little way through mentorship.
I love been around people so as to learn their values. I can be trusted in all ramifications.
