“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.”
One will think that the President doesn’t control the Police as it stands today. If the President intends to rig, you think he needs state police to do that?
Baseless, senseless argument from the usual suspect.
Thanks to the APC or thanks to the Ibo man who is your local government chairman? Who voted for the APC chairman? Was it not your fellow Ibos? Now someone from this same village will move to Lagos and start asking Hon Tokunbo Wahab to leave office 🤣😂
Aye gba Tapa for real 🤦🏽♂️😂
"There’s a deliberate attempt to strategically paint Nigeria black, and paint this government black. The things you see on social media are engineered to make you hate me, to make me hate you, and hate our future. They have a back-end group in Dubai. They have a support group in Texas that is also feeding the Nigerian diaspora, with the same thing." — Political Scientist Obafemi George
Okay let’s remove penalty goals shall we?
Messi at the World Cup— 14 goals
Ronaldo at the World Cup— 7 goals
Messi overall— 802 goals
Ronaldo overall— 793 goals
This is not the road you want to go down.
A particular presidential candidate (who supports Nnamdi Kanu) recruited 5 influencers, 4,000 social media attackers, imported 4,000 techno phones in 2023 to tear this country down. Much of what you see online are influenced to paint the country black. That online mob has grown to 11,000.
China did not pull 800 million people out of poverty in 3 years. Dubai did not do it in 3 years. No nation did it in 3 years. Tinubu cannot pull 230 million Nigerians out of poverty in three years. What is he doing is putting the nation on the path to that recovery and growth.

Texas has about 40,309 missing-person unresolved cases in 2025.
Texas has about 44,783 missing-person reports in 2024
Missing-person reports in Texas 2023 is about 48,008.
That's over 130k cases of abduction in 3 just years.
Morris, stay safe! Abduction is real in texas.
"Any country that is in a reform state must be able to find sensible, intelligent people who drive civil society engagement from a point of view of 'how do we make it better? Not everyday you are calling people to the street. It is irritating. You can't drive civil society advocacy on the basis of, running up and down the street and all of that, it's nuisance." — Segun Showunmi
A lot of these reforms being implemented today are reforms that many Nigerians, including this Rufai guy, have demanded for years: fuel subsidy removal, state police, student loans, local govt autonomy, tax reforms, infrastructure expansion, credit access, etc.
The irony is that some of the loudest critics supported similar ideas when their preferred politicians talked about them. But of course, the person doing this today bears the name Tinubu; hypocrisy has become their food.
The truth is that in politics, perception often matters more than policy. Many people are not evaluating reforms on their merits; they are evaluating who is implementing them.
That's why you can have the same people who spent years demanding restructuring suddenly opposing State Police, or people who campaigned for subsidy removal suddenly becoming born-again subsidy defenders.
It's crazy, but it will be very hard for Nigeria to be good with idiots like this!!

The speaker, Mr. George, is referring to the fraudulent man we all know… if you know the him, just say hi 🤗

If you are in Nigeria, you would have seen many roads that are currently under rehabilitation. No single state is not experiencing this.
It’s a lie to say no cushion for subsidy. A big fat lie for that matter.
It’s not a must to take loan. If you can’t afford university education, go and learn trade or handwork.
You would rather expose Nigerian to further insecurity because of fear of weaponisation by few politicians. So we should scrap state police? lol that’s so funny.
Shocking how you didn’t even have alternative policies that you would have recommended.
You need to see how he was lambasting the whole idea of state police on TV today like if he has never made calls for it before.
Never seen a more pathetic journalist than this in my entire life.
