State Police Creation & Matters Arising The present security challenges and morbid corruption in our Police clearly pt to urgent need to reform policing architecture in Nigeria. We can no longer ignore this reality that it has failed; it’s long overdue. In creating State Police, we must address the clear risk of abuse by the Executive, by ensuring that Governors do not control the State Police. Police in each state should not report to the guv, but should report to Office of Attorney-General, which must be made independent of the Executive, and funded from 1st-line charge, just like the judiciary. Above means we need to 1st decouple Office of AG from Justice Ministry, at both State & Federal levels, as present combined office is occupied by a political appointee of the Executive which often uses it to witch-hunt opposition and ignore atrocities by govt officials. See attachment for different mandates of AG & Justice Ministry. In addition to the above, additional measures should be adopted: 1⃣ The HoA, not Guv, should have powers to appoint or remove the CP as well as the AG, just like position of Chief Judge, though with a slight modification. 2⃣ A state Police Service Commission should be established in each state, with tenured members appointed by HoA following recommendations by the Executive, who cannot subsequently remove them. 3⃣ A joint panel of Heads of Judiciary, Justice Ministry, and PSC should screen & recommend 3 top candidates for CP job, which Executive can propose to HoA to vote on. 4⃣ Present Zonal Police Commands should be scrapped. In lieu, the remainder of the present Federal Police should be kept to act like FBI in the USA with branches in the regions to support inter-state ops. 5⃣ In case of FCT Police, Senate will play the role of Parliament that will approve. The present HoR is too crowded and characterized by uneven representation of the states. 6⃣ AG Office to which CP reports should deploy judicial officers to each Police Unit (stations, area, and state commands) to support police ops and reduce illegal detentions & extrajudicial activities. 7⃣ Office of AG should supervise electoral and anti-crime agencies. Most anti-crime agencies in Nigeria, esp. EFCC, readily turn blind eye to corruption by govt officials linked to the ruling party and, are thus, not truly independent. On the electoral side, most elections conducted by State Independent Electoral Commissions are shams. 8⃣ Tenures of heads of bureaus reporting to the AG (CP, EFCC, etc.) as well as the AG role itself should have tenure of say 6-8yrs, so that they can outlast the political regimes of both Executive & Parliament. @channelstv @SeunOkinbaloye @ARISEtv @abati1990 @ruffydfire @NigBarAssoc @PoliceNG @FedMinOfJustice @PSCNigeria @inecnigeria @officialEFCC @HouseNGR @NGRSenate @SupremeCourtNg @NGRPresident

I am so pained, not because of what I went through, but because I had so much security around me while those schoolchildren in Oyo State did not even have a single police officer to protect them. Guys, get your PVC. Justice can never be cracked,

#Video: This is exactly how Tinubu has been handling the security situation in Nigeria.

🚨 JUST IN: French Media admits France 🇫🇷 & Ukraine 🇺🇦 involvement in support of terrorist groups acting in the Sahel. What the Presidents of the AES Confederation and many have been saying for years, is no longer a secret.

In top-tier economies like the US, UK, Germany or China, this profile would typically land roles like CEO of a major global bank (e.g., HSBC, JPMorgan), central bank governor, finance minister, or senior policy advisor at IMF/World Bank level. She's already excelling as Zenith Bank's GMD/CEO here in Nigeria. Globally, comparables include Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala or Christine Lagarde—strong academics real execution. No such thing as "too much education." It's a clear asset when applied to results, not just credentials.

Nigerians Should Be Grateful For Dangote's 'Audacity' To Build Refinery—Ojulari #CTVTweets

No integrity. "I was sick during aburi" but he ate and drank plenty of champagne

These people were clamouring for electronic voting barely 10 years ago when they were in opposition. Today, mere electronic transmission of results is not feasible by their standards. It is a shame that as a people, we do not wish our country well. We only care about ourselves.

Quotes of the day: 1. “We’re addicted to our thoughts. We can’t change anything if we can’t change our thinking.” (Santosh Kalwar) 2. “Your thoughts become your destiny.” (Lao Tzu) · Watch your thoughts, for they become words. · Watch your words, for they become actions. · Watch your actions, for they become habits. · Watch your habits, for they form your character. · Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we ultimately become. If we can correct our thinking, the rest of pieces of our lives have better chances of falling into the right places.

If you are not outrightly insane, you should be expressing your rage over the horrific killings of fellow human beings end demanding justice for the victims. But your interest and priority is to gloat that slaughtering undermines the case of Christian genocide as if the world would be persuaded to ignore global focus on the fate of Nigerians Christians. Your brain has been deranged hence you are so insensitive, and reasoning along the line of Islamic extremism, radicalism and jihadism. You are not offended by who, and how many people have been killed, as long as the killings suit your religious narrative.

Quote of the day: “It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.” (Howard Ruff) If Noah had waited for the storm clouds to subside, b4 starting to build the ark, by then it would have been too late. Also, Joseph aided Pharaoh prepared for drought in Egypt thru upfront planning. So, avoid procrastination and consider making provisions for unforeseen disasters, by good estate planning, and taking insurance for your home, life, health of dependants, and kids' education.

He keeps fanning the embers of discord. Poor Wike, he is the Fox with fire on his tail and he can't escape his own folly, in the same way no one can outrun his or her shadow. Quite an embarrassing but comic optic

Nigeria is in a serious mess. It is so clear that we need state Police. The same people objecting to State Police are probably the same people advocating peace deals with bandits. State Police is long overdue given failure of Federal Police architecture to maintain security!

I've realised something recently. When I worked on projects like this and Cornflakes For Jihad, which focused on violence in Nigeria's Middle Belt and North, various people got various mistaken mistaken ideas. Some people thought I was on "their" side as in Biafran separatism or Igbo ethnic nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in Christian nationalism. Others thought I was on "their" side as in disliking Muslims or wanting to balkanise Nigeria into multiple fragments. For the avoidance of doubt, let me state what my ACTUAL agenda for Nigeria was, still is, and will always be: My agenda is to use radical truth-telling to force Nigeria to confront its problems and solve them, instead of slowly dying of them. My style is to look at issues square in the face, and speak to the core of the matter without fear or favour. I am not a Christian nationalist (I am actually atheist and I think Christianity is a dangerous colonial insertion which has made African cultures weak, disunited, lacking in strategic focus, and easily exploitable). I am not a Biafran separatist (While I acknowledge that genocide against Igbo people was carried out during the so-called civil war between 1967 and 1970, I also know that the war itself was externally instigated, and was in fact a postcolonial proxy war between the British and the French with Israeli involvement on both sides, and I know that breaking up a country with as much potential for African power as Nigeria over a solvable ethnic grudge would be among the top 3 dumbest things Africans have ever done). I don't hate Muslims (I believe that Islam, like Christianity, weakens African unity because it is not indigenous to Africa, and African Muslims historically have a weird habit of identifying first as 'Muslim' before 'African', which has had real consequences before, but I also acknowledge that like Christianity, Islam is definitely not leaving Africa anytime soon and I have to live with that reality). Finally and most importantly, I am not an ethnic nationalist of any type. I abhor the idea of fragmenting large African countries into some more useless, weak, feudal ethnostates with zero international leverage and no sovereignty, as if we don't have nearly 50 of those already. I believe that aggregation of Africa's resources, trading area, political relations, technology and manpower across this vast rich continent is the only meaningful way forward for African people in Africa and the diaspora. I have been fortunate enough to live a fairly privileged life which has allowed me to travel the world extensively and understand how it actually works. The reality of the world - no matter how disappointing some Nigerians may find it - is that "David Chukwuemeka Ajayi," a Christian from Edo, and "Idris Yusuf Mohammed," a Muslim from Kano are exactly the same in the eyes of those who run the planet. David and Idris might not like each other because of the different religions they are carrying on their heads, but the unfortunate reality is that THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE. The world only sees "Africans" and does not give a single shit about whatever extra identity exists above that. A Kanuri woman from Borno and a Zulu man from KwaZulu Natal in South Africa have the exact same political identity in the eyes of those who actually matter in this world. That is the reality of the world, and that is why I am a Pan Africanist - it's not because I don't recognise Africa's obvious diversity. It's simply that I understand that in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous for us, the only chance for survival that we have as a country and as a continent is to work together. And if your vision of working together doesn't include Christians, Muslims, animists, ATR people, atheists and whoever else shares your common destiny as an African, then rest assured that we are all going to die as divided fools, and other people will take our land. As I always say, whenever you wake up is your own morning.

No be completely true. EFCC claim say dem non-partisan and investigate everybody, but recent moves like detaining Tambuwal, probing Ihedioha and Mark (opposition) while ignoring APC cases like Okowa after defection, suggest bias towards ruling party. Na witch-hunt to weaken opposition for 2027.

In the news last wk, US tech giants are projecting nearly 45GW of electricity just to power data centres for AI by 2027. This is 2/3 of power consumption of 68 GW for California, a US state. In contrast, Nigeria generates <6 GW for >220 mln people. Nigeria is cursed with bad leadership incl. Tinubu, who promised to fix our electricity woes. Instead, he borrowed to buy yacht & jet for jamboree trips and awards coastal road contract worth 25% of our 2025 budget to a company with his son on its board, owned by his crony, a certified money launderer.

This should start giving you some ideas

Sarkin Daria Give Tinubu a bitter pill to swallow. The leaders must hear this. And nothing must happen to this man because of this video

Breaking news.... Trump regime halts visa issuance for international students & plans social media digital footprint screening as part of evaluation of visa applications. All pedophiles, Islamic extremists who support or glorify terrorism, anti-semitics, and those who cheered when Hamas carried out massacre in Israel in Oct 2023 should be aware - if they have any interest in going to the USA for anything whatsoever. By the way, where is that loudmouthed self-appointed Hamas spokesman FF#*K?

Today, I listened to WAMU 88.5FM Radio airing a very enlightening discussion about how some US city mayors are digitizing govt services incl. role of AI in the process. To go digital, you need ELECTRICITY (stable & affordable), CONNECTIVITY (affordable data), DEVICES (IT systems), and SKILLED WORKFORCE. I was just so sad reflecting on how Nigeria is clearly so many light-yrs behind. In Nigeria, we have clueless leadership that has failed to deliver on its campaign promise that suggested understanding of how stable electricity supply was vital to a nation’s economic development, while some guvs care so little about education. Recall Bauchi guv saying Western education is not so important. Maybe, he prefers kids memorizing entire Qu'oran or roaming entire countryside as herders with cows belonging to rich Fulani like himself, who do everything possible to oppose ban on open grazing. There was indeed a country.
