@debo_rev @moakabash Thank you. I don’t know whether to say they are lazy, mischievous, or lacking in critical knowledge of history. But they obviously lack the fundamental understanding of economics.

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

January 15, 1966, marked the beginning of a series of events that spiraled into July 1966, ultimately leading to the end of hostilities in 1967. In 1970, there was no victor nor a vanquished party. Those who experienced the consequences of 1966-7 have sown the seeds in their compound, intending for their children to harvest and keep the cycle going. And so, my brother, that is the summary of what transpired.

@NigeriaNDCHQ The court that breathes you into being is now pronouncing you a non-entity. Go to the court to challenge your present legal status and remember not to blame anyone. The judiciary works irrespective of where the pendulum swings.

Nigeria info is the radio station you are referring to. They don’t have anything positive to say about Nigeria.

[Taiwo_Ajakaye @dmightyangel]

If you are a frequent caller in any of the Radio programs, whenever they come up with this sudden narrative of States will not be able to pay State Police, Please call in and ask them to mention the State Governor that they're speaking for, the monthly allocation of that State and the estimated amount they envisage will go into funding State Police monthly and how they come about that....

Narrative shapers mostly on TV and Radio stations don't want anything to work, they just need something to create narrative of negativity around every time....

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

@egi_nupe Most of these individuals are delusional. They prefer to create unrealistic expectations and would rather beg for support than engage in any task they perceive as beneath them. Ironically, they work as dishwashers abroad and boast about their experience.

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

Considering the substantial effort required to finalize the constitutional amendment and subsequent domestication of the law at the state level, is it feasible for the state police program to commence before the upcoming general elections in January 2027?

State Police: Commendable Step, but Disorderly Legislation Raises Concerns of Political Misuse

The recent passage of the State Police Bill by the National Assembly marks a significant legislative milestone in addressing a long-standing demand of the Nigerian people. For years, many of us, alongside security experts and regional stakeholders, have consistently argued that a highly centralised policing structure is fundamentally unsuitable for a country as vast, diverse, and complex as Nigeria. However, the legislative and constitutional implementation appears shaky and raises legitimate concerns.

The process should involve greater community participation. Policing should be more visible at the local government and community levels. The mechanism for passing the law appears highly disorganised, with no public hearing on such a sensitive issue. Indeed, the rush to enact the law without proper legislative procedures fuels suspicion among many observers about the political motives behind it.

The greatest concern does not arise from logistical issues; it stems from history. There is a widespread, justifiable fear that state police forces could become instruments in the hands of governors. The suspicion is that a state-controlled police force could be weaponised to suppress political rivals, disrupt opposition rallies, and manipulate elections.

For state policing to evolve from a risky political gamble into a genuine security solution, the law must not only permit states to establish police forces but also clearly provide for independent oversight bodies, such as a state-level Police Service Commission that is entirely free from executive influence, to ensure that policing serves the public interest rather than the interests of the ruling elite.

Going by what Nigerians have seen so far, there is no guarantee that this administration can resist the temptation to take advantage of state policing to influence the 2027 general election by proxy. In view of that possibility and the danger it poses to the polity, it is necessary to defer its implementation until after the general election.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@YunusaTanko You omitted proven track records of achievements as a former governor, mental and emotional capacity and few other traits required to lead a multi-cultural society.

Obi is suing someone for just talking on TV. What would he have done to Nnamdi if he were the President MB or Tinubu?

[Nigeria Stories @NigeriaStories]

JUST IN: Kenneth Okonkwo has been served to come and submit all the evidence and proofs he has against Peter Obi

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

@LeadershipNGA Yes, it is a masterstroke! Of course, everyone is aware of the political undertone. Many people also recognize that the resurgence of insecurity has a political dimension as well. So, the president is seeking a political and pragmatic solution to a political problem. CHECKMATE

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

@thecableng What are the alternative causes of action to the challenges of insecurity, or is it just all talk and no action as usual?

@ARISEtv ₦10, 000.00 school fees was unthinkable during my time as student. Nothing stay still.

[Hakeem Salaam @hspimages]

Well, when I attended Unilag, my first-year school fees were ₦28.00, and hostel fees were ₦90. The second year was ₦6, and the third and fourth years were ₦45. During my time, nobody could afford to pay ₦10,000 as school fees. I left school very early in the 1990s, not some prehistoric years ago. Time changes, and nothing stays the same.

Just so you know, here is Peter Obi's score card on school fees as Governor of Anambra

The Pre-2011 Baseline

Tuition Rate: ₦36,000 flat fee.
Status: This baseline applied generally across board to both regular and professional courses prior to the major policy shift.

May 2011: The First Major Increment

Non-Medical Students: Fees rose from ₦36,000 to ₦86,000.
Medical Students: Fees rose from ₦36,000 to ₦120,000.

Mid-2011 to Early 2012: Structural Restructuring

Non-Professional Courses: Adjusted from the initial ₦86,000 up to ₦119,000 depending on the department.
Intermediate/Specialized Courses: Pegged around ₦129,000.

Justification:

“The administration stated that providing quality tertiary infrastructure required realistic funding, leading to the controversial quote, "Education is not meant for the poor," often referenced by critics during public debates.

Credit alerts to Kaduna People:

1: FG not Tinubu via the HM @Solid_Min_Dev @AlakeDele has discovered a world-class POLYMETTALLIC mineral province that contains platinum group metals, gold, nickel, copper, lithium and rare elements in Kaduna State.

2: This discovery has been verified by @NGSA_ng

@AyoOyalowo Nigerians have domesticated the global issue and dumped the blame on the president. Some are even saying we should import more refined products to break the monopoly, and you wonder where the cheaper alternatives were going to come from.

“When I attended the University of Benin, my school fees were just ₦10,000. I could pay them from my own pocket without difficulty.”

“Today, the school fees at the University of Benin are around ₦100,000. Many students watching this can confirm that.”
