Details of Proposed Constitutional Amendments for the Establishment of State Police and Federal Police
1. Establishment of Federal Police and State Police (New Section 214)
• Two distinct police bodies are constitutionally established:
• (a) the Federal Police
• (b) State Police (one per State, established by State law)
The National Assembly must pass an Act prescribing:
• Structure, organisation, administration, and powers of the Federal Police
• Framework and guidelines for the establishment of State Police
• State Police cannot commence operational policing until:
• Established by a Law of the State House of Assembly, and
• Certified as meeting national minimum standards (prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly)
• Transitional provision: Until a State Police becomes operational, the Federal Police continues all policing functions in that State. After commencement, the Federal Police handles federal policing functions and may provide assistance to the State Police.
2. Responsibilities and Non-Interference (Section 214)
Federal Police is responsible for:
• Maintenance of public security, public order, and security of persons/property throughout the Federation (to the extent provided by the Constitution or National Assembly Act).
• Similar functions within a State to the extent the State has legislative power under the Constitution.
Key safeguard against federal overreach (Section 214(6)):
The Federal Police shall not interfere with State Police operations or a State’s internal security affairs except in these limited cases:
• To contain serious threats where there is a complete breakdown of law and order and the State Police is unable to respond.
• When the Governor requests intervention.
• When a State Police is unable to function due to administrative, financial, or other problems.
Any such intervention requires prior approval by the National Police Council.
Federal Capital Territory (FCT): Fully under the jurisdiction and operational control of the Federal Police.
3. Leadership and Command (New Section 215)
• Federal Police: Headed by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
• Appointed by the President on the advice of the National Police Council, from serving members of the Federal Police.
• Subject to confirmation by the National Assembly.
• The IGP has command over the entire Federal Police, including contingents in States.
• The President (or authorised Minister) may give lawful directions on public safety and order; the IGP must comply.
• State Police: Headed by a Commissioner of Police (CP).
• Appointed by the Governor on the advice of the National Police Council, from serving members of the State Police.
• Subject to confirmation by the State House of Assembly.
• The Governor (or authorised Commissioner) may give lawful directions on public safety and order; the CP must comply.
• If the CP believes a direction is unlawful or contradicts general policing standards, the matter can be referred to the National Police Council (whose decision is final).
4. Removal of Top Officers (New Section 216)
• IGP: Removed only by the President on the recommendation of the National Police Council for specified grounds (grave misconduct, breach of Police Act/Regulations/Code of Conduct, conviction for fraud/dishonesty, bankruptcy, or mental incapacity). Requires two-thirds majority approval of the National Assembly.
• State Commissioner of Police: Removed only by the Governor on the recommendation of the National Police Council for similar grounds. Requires two-thirds majority approval of the State House of Assembly.
5. Funding Support (New Section 216A)
The Federal Government shall provide grants or aids to State Police on the recommendation of the National Police Council, subject to approval by the National Assembly.
6. Oversight Bodies
National Police Council (restructured and renamed from the old Nigeria Police Council; new composition and expanded functions in Third Schedule):
• Broad membership including: Chairman (Presidential appointee confirmed by NA), Attorney-General of the Federation, serving senior Federal Police officer, Attorneys-General of all States, retired Commissioners of Police (one per geo-political zone), representatives of NHRC, Public Complaints Commission, NLC, NBA, NUJ, and Traditional Rulers’ Councils.
• Key functions: Appointment and discipline of Federal Police officers (except IGP); recommending State top officers (CP, DCP, ACP) to Governors based on State PSC lists; supervising Federal and State Police activities (within constitutional limits); setting standards for training, intelligence, forensics; assisting State Police on request.
State Police Service Commission (new body established for each State in Third Schedule, Part II):
• Composition: Chairman (appointed by Governor, confirmed by State HA), representatives of NHRC, Public Complaints Commission, NLC, NBA, NUJ, retired Assistant Commissioners of Police (one per senatorial district), and Traditional Rulers’ Council.
• Functions: Recommending three qualified candidates for CP/DCP/ACP to the National Police Council; appointment, discipline, and removal of State Police officers below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police; other functions as prescribed by Constitution or National Assembly Act.
7. Legislative Framework (Second Schedule – Concurrent Legislative List)
• National Assembly may make laws on: establishment/organisation/administration/powers/duties of Federal Police; powers/duties of State Police; national minimum standards for both; policing standards, inspection, certification, complaints mechanisms, criminal information systems, inter-governmental cooperation, federal intervention, use of force, firearms, grants, and accountability.
• State Houses of Assembly may make laws for the establishment, organisation, administration, funding, and oversight of their State Police — but must comply with the Constitution and valid National Assembly Acts.
• States may set higher standards than national minimums but not lower.
• National Assembly laws cannot give federal authorities routine command, deployment, appointment, promotion, transfer, discipline, or control over State Police personnel (except for explicitly authorised federal intervention).
8. Other Related Changes
• Updates to various constitutional provisions (e.g., Sections 34, 35, 39, 42, 84, 89, 129, 153) to replace references to “Nigeria Police Force” with appropriate “Police”, “Federal Police”, or “State Police” terminology.
• Exclusive Legislative List adjustments (e.g., light arms for policing purposes; fingerprints/biometrics/forensics shared with State Police; Federal Police listed separately).
• Consequential amendments to the Third Schedule for the new bodies and their compositions/powers.

If a vendor posts an iPhone on his status, and types 'IBM', 'IDM, 'ICM', or 'Mint', just know you have to be very careful.
They'll usually not explain to you except you ask.
Such phones are usually cheaper, so you think you're getting a good deal. But what you don't know is that you might be buying a problem.
Those coded expressions are used as a gimmick, since the vendors just assume that you already know the meaning.
The first three mean that the iPhone has issues, while the last one means that the iPhone isn't exactly UK-used.
Specifically...
IBM means Important Battery Message, suggesting that the battery is faulty.
ICM means Important Camera Message: camera problems.
IDM means Important Display Message: screen issues.
As for MINT, although some vendors will disagree....
When certain vendors say an iPhone is MINT, it usually means that it is more like Nigerian-used.
However, note that MINT doesn't necessarily mean the phone is faulty. It just means it was last used by a Nigerian customer. And it's usually cheaper than the ones they call UK-used.

That is a difficult argument to support with publicly available facts.
If we're talking about verifiable net worth, Aliko Dangote remains comfortably ahead of Femi Otedola. Dangote controls interests spanning cement, sugar, salt, fertilizers, petrochemicals, and the refinery business. The scale of those assets is enormous and, in many cases, easier to value.
Where the conversation becomes interesting is not who is richer but who has demonstrated greater capital allocation dexterity.
Dangote is arguably Nigeria's greatest industrial builder. His strength is identifying sectors with massive import dependence and building dominant businesses around them.
Otedola's strength is different. He has repeatedly shown an ability to enter sectors, create value, monetize investments, preserve capital, and reposition himself. From diesel trading to oil marketing, from strategic exits to power generation and listed equities, he has displayed remarkable flexibility.
So while the evidence does not currently support the claim that Otedola is richer than Dangote, there is a strong case that he is one of Nigeria's most skilled capital allocators. One built an industrial empire; the other has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to compound wealth across multiple business cycles.
Those are two very different forms of business genius.

PRESS STATEMENT
OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY,
NIGERIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (NDC)
Second NEC Resolutions: NDC Takes Major Steps Towards Institutionalization
1. The NDC is committed to building the party as a strong and enduring institution, with emphasis on party supremacy. The programs, policies, and appointments (except personal staff) of all governments elected on the platform of the party must be made in consultation with the party structure.
The party remains supreme, and members are expected to align their personal interests and agendas with those of the party.
2. All affiliated groups and NGOs shall operate under the guidance and control of the party and must not function in parallel with, or independently of, the party structure.
3. A comprehensive Code of Conduct shall be established for all party officials and candidates. To this end, a committee has been constituted under the leadership of the National Legal Adviser to develop the framework and guidelines.
4. A National Reconciliation Committee has been inaugurated to reconcile all aggrieved members of the party.
5. The NDC is being built as an institution, not a personality cult, political movement, or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to be used and discarded.
Members are encouraged to remain committed to the party and contribute to its growth and sustainability for generations to come.
At all times, and for all candidates and aspirants, total allegiance must be to the party and the national interest.
On financial probity, the party will enforce strict accountability in the management of party resources by all officers, and party funds must be used strictly for party business.
For candidates, there must also be strict accountability for all funding received. Monies sourced by candidates at all levels, and contributions made by candidates to campaign accounts, must be fully disclosed to the party at the appropriate levels (local government, state, zonal, and national). Such funds must be received through dedicated party campaign accounts, including presidential and governorship campaign accounts of the party, as applicable.

You might be a great chart analyst.
You mark up trades on TradingView, price hits TP, and your analysis is right more often than not.
Yet your MT5 account is still in loss.
Why?
Because analysis and risk management are two different skills.
One trade you risk 1%. The next trade you risk 5% because you're trying to grow faster or recover losses. A few bad trades later, the account is gone.
Then the painful part begins.
You start seeing the same setups hit TP exactly as you predicted, but you no longer have enough capital to take them.
That's when regret sets in.
Most traders don't blow accounts because they can't analyze charts. They blow accounts because they can't control risk.
Without a fixed risk model, even a profitable strategy can leave you stuck in a cycle of breakeven, frustration, and account resets.
Consistency in risk is what allows consistency in results.
