State Police: my bro and friend sent me this write-up: for discussion: hope @barauijibrin @OfficialBenKalu and @hccrNigeria will find this contribution useful.

Unfortunately none of these will work. The police we have in Nigeria today is incapable of doing policing even if motivated.

-(a): We must do the fundamental. Never waste a crisis.

Very simple things will work..

1. Restructure the federal police to reflect the country by devolving 85% of the Force to their local government of origin where they can be most effective and motivated.

-(a): Only Mobile Police, Counter Terrorism and Specialized Investigation Units should be centralized.

-(b): and Most Senior Officers who should be movable around Regional, State and Zonal Commands to ensure national outlook.

-(c): Thus, only beyond a certain rank or when in specialized forces should any police be moved outside their LGA.

2. ⁠Responsibility for day to day management, as well as recommendation for hiring and promotion should be transferred to Local Police Boards.

-(a): The constitution in Section 216.1 already allows the Police Board to delegate its power of police management.

-(b): It doesn’t even manage today, so it should do so to Local police boards immediately.

-(c): These boards should not be elected or paid but tenured, with specific civil society bodies appointing their members for a period of no longer than two years

-(d): to oversight each local government formation of the Federal Police with sync to the police commission for recommendations for promotions, motivation bonuses and firing including approval of new hires into the “community” based police

-(e): under this model. traditional rulers , teachers, unions, faith based bodies et al should be specified as these groups under such fiat order that the police council can pass legally tomorrow.

3: The president, governors and IG are the members of police council today. See your constitution. No amendment required.

4: Sequel to this order, and devolution of the police force in an orderly manner within 6 months, the police should stop the obsolete and colonial era barrack system.

7: Police don’t stay in barracks, they live among the people. When we devolve and motivate locally, this should happen.

8: Let’s pay them housing allowance, let them live among us and watch insecurity disappear. They won’t watch their local government invaded.

9: Community associations and LGAs should then be encouraged to set up local security trust fund, to provide extra bonuses and funding to their devolved community police.

10: Indeed, immediately implementing the Supreme Court order directing FG to fund LGAs directly will go a long way. Simple things.

11: It is only after a 18-24 months period when this devolved federal policing system has settled in place should we pass constitutional amendments to enable State Police. @NigeriaSenate @HouseNGR @PoliceNG @AOFAMIYESIN @LegendaryJoe

@woye1 @barauijibrin @OfficialBenKalu @hccrNigeria @woye1 this is great. Find a way to pass this to the relevant decision makers. I will too. Great work, thanks

@aproko_doctor Is there any remedy for children who are now adults but cannot say for sure they got all their vaccine shots?

@abdullahayofel I prefer the Osun anthem because the melody was that used by Papa Obafemi Awolowo from the Western Region era

6. I circle back to my introduction- many who comment on political issues are more emotional than rational. Is that one opposition?

[Adewale Adeniji 🇳🇬 @Ade_Ade]

1. The appointment of a new INEC chairman and the comments from some show that many Nigerians who comment on political issues are more emotional than rational. @inecnigeria

[Adewale Adeniji 🇳🇬 @Ade_Ade]

5. They conveniently forgot that in 2015 an appointee president lost an election superintended by his appointed INEC chairman @inecnigeria

[Adewale Adeniji 🇳🇬 @Ade_Ade]

4. It is also inconceivable that some commentators already concluded that because a president appointed an INEC chairman, then he would automatically be favoured! @inecnigeria

[Adewale Adeniji 🇳🇬 @Ade_Ade]

3. When precedence shows that all previous presidents in this Republic had done the same thing? @inecnigeria

[Adewale Adeniji 🇳🇬 @Ade_Ade]

2. How else would you fathom some commentators saying that contrary to the clear provisions of the constitution, a sitting president should not make the appointment? @inecnigeria

@Imranmuhdz The louder he is, the more it’s clear Dangote has wiped the floor with him and his union. All na bolster. Abeg

[Ayekooto @DeeOneAyekooto]

AWOLOWO was very grateful to GOWON for releasing him from prison, sending him a private jet from Lagos to pick him at Calabar and waiting to receive him in Lagos……and subsequently, making him Number Two Man in his cabinet. AWOLOWO was also very grateful to Murtala Mohammed for releasing his personal car and official guards to him to take him from Ikeja Barracks to Ikenne, Ogun State.

@adefunmiloro @Imranmuhdz I am not sure that’s the case. Many of our Eastern folk have migrated to other places. I am sure the breakdown of figures in other places will confirm this
