They should delay tackling insecurity cos agulu chief thinks state police can be used by the governors for the elections. Rest Oga, state police was not needed to beat you in 2023, it won’t be needed to beat you again in 2027. Now is time to secure our states!!!!

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

People do not change…. They are a reflection of their ancestors…. These sons of aliens from Futa Jalon pillaging Yorubaland, their fathers did the same to our fathers.... They invaded our cites and carted them into bondage… forcing their families to pay heavy ransom… those who could not pay were sold into slavery. That is how many Yoruba people ended in Brazil....

Samuel Ajayi Crowther narrated how his city of Oshogun was invaded and burnt down… how his family was captured and he was sold into slavery…. He mentioned his family house burnt down and the last time he saw his father who died shortly after the raid on his city.

He mentioned how many of the older women captured were killed because they could not catch up…. They took them to the coast and sold them into slavery….. before they sold them off, they let family members bargain for the life of their members before sale to the Portuguese…. These were sold at higher prices (as expected, one would pay more for the freedom of his family member)….

He also mentioned that as their captures led them towards the coast, he saw a lot of cities burnt down and many more deserted….. with natives of these cities migrating further south and eventually remobilizing to fight them back from Ibadan.

Fastforward today…. Their children still use the playbook of their ancestors…. They still invade cities… kill people, take captives and seek ransom… many flee from their cities to escape these hotheads.… the only difference in our time is that there is no slave market for them to sell…. So those whose family cannot pay ransom, they kill and show the video to instill fear and terror in the hearts of people…. Like the soulless savages that they are.

The sage, in the spirit of his ancestors said his major war was against the feudal overlords in the North and their determination to continue the Jihad through politics… in his very quote…. ‘Since 1957, I have fought as your lordship remarked, with vigor against the feudal system in the Northern Region and for its eradication. I have also fought to prevent the spread of this evil political system to other parts of Nigeria’

We are carried away with politics and selection of candidates…. Many of us did not join in the excitement…. Cause scouting for power without addressing the siege on your land is embrace of elitism….. The first and most important issue to tackle is the alien conquerors from Futa Jalon…. We must find a permanent solution to their agelong barbarism in Yorubaland….

Nigeria needs to be renegotiated and Aso Rock must give Yoruba people as well as other natives the power to mobilize and secure their lands. If the president does not address this before the next elections…. Selections and elections are simply endorsement of elitism.

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump

[Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT]

Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.

Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.

Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin

Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.

I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.

Peter Obi was a governor for 8 solid years, that's 365 days multiply by 8 which is 2,920 days. The Anambra State he governed has 21 Local Government Areas, but for 8 years he couldn't listen to the problem of his own people in Onitsha South to provide them a public hospital. Soludo's administration did that.

Same Obi is claiming that 180 days is more than enough to tour the 36 states in Nigeria and listen to the populace. What a joke.

You dey whine Yoruba Christians? My grandfather, aka the baba ijo of St Phillips had 12 wives, 21 children!!!

[Great IFE @TheGreatestIFE]

If your Yoruba Grandfather had more than one (plenty) wives, or gave birth to more than 6 children. May God bless him and the wives.

They are the reason the Yorubas are not a minority today!

And God Bless Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Isese too. Yoruba Christians, your thank you is on hold for now.

Guyman can't resolve the problem within any of the political parties he's been with, yet wants to rule Nigeria with her myriads of problems. If you can't resolve issues within your political party, how do you plan to resolve Nigeria's problems?

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.

I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.

Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.

We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.

More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.

We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.

Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.

Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.

However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.

Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.

And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.

There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?

Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.

Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
