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

@Ayomatt @OurFavOnlineDoc @coleoloye There would be massive revolt... but we haven't revolted because people are dying unnecessarily or because people can't afford the basic necessities of life... but when it comes to religion, people want to "fight" for "God" when God can damn well fight his own battles and WIN

[Ijah Collins @jaa_chii]

@Ayomatt @OurFavOnlineDoc @coleoloye I'm sure you feel like you sound very intelligent with this statement or way of thinking.
What we should actually face is the fact that billions that are supposed to be used to make life better for Nigerians in Nigeria is being wasted on such ventures. Use your own damn money!!

And that’s just Diphtheria.
Same gloves, same pay, same risk.
Different diseases, same neglect.

I think it was Robert Greene who said, “When you meet a swordsman, don’t bother reciting poems—bring out your sword and fight.”

I cannot fault Eni for exhibiting feminine traits. For crying—no, for weeping—because his best friend is about to be wedded. Some men are more feminine than they are masculine, and perhaps that is their cup of tea. Let them sip it quietly.

But what I have every issue with is the rising cultural demand to not only tolerate but standardize this behavior as the model of manhood. That’s where I draw the line.

It is, by all rational standards, not related to masculinity. Women have said time and again that they want men who are in tune with their emotions. But in practice, they do not mean men who cry publicly—regardless of the circumstance. What they want are men who feel deeply, yet hold themselves with a certain majesty. A dignity—a righteous command. Not men who crumble like wet paper in the presence of sentiment.

It is one thing for a man to feel. It is another for him to leak. And no, they are not the same. We’ve become too comfortable with blurring lines simply because it makes people feel better about their own indecision. But clarity was never the enemy. Confusion now parades itself as progress—and men like Eni, have, sadly, become its poster boys.

I do not blame him for crying. I blame the world, no the women that clap for it. That says—“yes, this is the kind of man we need more of.”

A digression here:

Why do women clap for such outpouring of emotions:

Because applause is cheap when it costs you nothing. Because it feels good—progressive, even—to say “men should cry more,” until it is your own man sniveling before a challenge, sobbing at the weight of responsibility, or breaking down when you need him to stand.

Women clap for male vulnerability the way people clap for underdog stories—they want to watch it, not live with it. They cheer it in theory because theory is clean. It has no mud, no consequences. But real life is messier. Real life requires a man who can absorb chaos, not cave to it. Women say they want softness, but their bodies lean into strength. Their instincts reach for composure. Their safety depends not on how much you feel, but on how much you can withstand. The clapping is performance. The choosing is primal—it cannot be changed.

The big question is this: Do we need men who quiver in the face of sentiment, who fall apart in public, who have no quiet reservoir of steel to hold their emotions? Or do we just enjoy the spectacle of a man undoing himself for our comfort?

There was a time when restraint was considered virtue—not pathology. When silence in pain was not seen as emotional constipation, but as discipline—divine strength. The kind of strength that says, “I feel it. But I will not let it spill here.”

That time has been ridiculed, spat on, and dismissed as toxic. And yet—who do women cry to when the world burns? The same men who have learned to bottle thunder in their chests and still speak calmly. You don’t walk into a storm naked and call it honesty. You wear armor. That’s what masculinity was built for.

I’m not saying men should be stones. But by God, they must not be streams either. You cannot weep like a widow and expect the world to lean on you. A man’s emotions must be housed, not homeless. Tamed, not theatrical.
Honed like a blade—not broadcast like “El Cuerpo Del Deseo”.

I’ve seen too many women praise “vulnerability” in public—only to choose men who possess nerves of steel—calm, calculated men who chew bottles for breakfast and eat molten lava for dinner. It’s not hypocrisy. It’s instinct. A crying man does not signal safety. He signals exposure. And no matter how loud the modern script insists otherwise, no woman builds her future on a puddle.

So yes—when you meet a swordsman, don’t recite poems. Bring your sword. When you meet life, bring your spine. When you’re called to be a man, be a mountain, not a weeping babe.

We're thrilled that the #cPenNetwork app is ranked among the top free social apps on the Apple App Store in the United States! This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. Thank you!

Why will we buy cPen tokens?

We previously announced that we would regularly purchase cPen tokens. Based on community feedback, we’d like to clarify/correct our strategy:

Liquidity Pools
Purchasing cPen tokens is not intended to boost liquidity pools. As detailed in our Coin Economics, the Treasury pool already holds reserved liquidity tokens, so there’s no need to buy additional cPen tokens from the market for this purpose.

cPen App Project Development
We will acquire cPen tokens to support the development of the cPen app. Although our Coin Economics includes an Ecosystem Pool, its reserves are allocated for the cPen blockchain ecosystem. As mentioned earlier, the cPen blockchain and cPen app will eventually separate, with a dedicated cPen Foundation overseeing the blockchain ecosystem. Therefore, we’ve decided to regularly buy cPen tokens from the market to strengthen the cPen app ecosystem and drive its development.

Important Note
Our decision to buy cPen tokens is solely based on our commitment to advancing the cPen app project. This announcement is intended to provide transparency about our plans and should not be interpreted as advice regarding cPen tokens or any other cryptocurrency. Trading crypto involves risk, and you may lose your entire investment. Always conduct your own research before making any decisions.

@cPenCoreTeam 🤩🤩

[cPen Network @cPenCoreTeam]

Hey #cPenNetwork community, our project is growing rapidly with your support and we're excited to share our development plan with you:

After the distribution, we will use the cPen app profits to:
- Buy cPen tokens regularly (to boost liquidity pools and grow the project).
- This is a long-term strategy, not a one-time move!
- Share a public BSC wallet so everyone sees every action.
- Post monthly updates — total transparency, always.

Why This Matters:
- We’re here to stay: Reinvesting profits = proof we’re committed for the long haul.
- Better for you: Stronger liquidity = smoother trades for the community.

As you may already know we are a tiny team without outside investment. And this brings us some advantages:
- No outside investors = no pressure to sell tokens.
- Zero profit-sharing = more pennies go back into cPen.
- We spend wisely to keep the project running forever.

Thank YOU!
Over a year in, we are proud of what have achieved without hype and marketing — you made this work. Let’s keep growing together.

We’re more confident than ever about cPen’s future!

[Ijah Collins @jaa_chii]

@cPenCoreTeam Great!!!
