An Urgent Call For The Creation Of State Police by lexylaw40: 9:33pm On Jul 24, 2023
Pls I want use this medium to implore the federal government and the legislators to quickly do something drastic to correct the security lapses we are currently experiencing in Nigeria and I sure that the creation of State police 👮 🚨 and Nabourhood watch will go a long way in curbing the security crisis we are facing in Nigeria. We can all join hands to push for speedy legislature over this issues. Yes all our deferent regional security outfit like Amotekun, civilian JTF in the north and those of the Eastern Region like ebubeagu and others can be transformed into State Police which I'm sure will have a wonderful impact on us as a nation. Today I heard Asari Dokubo is creating is militia, I mean all this won't be necessary if we have the state police in place and all this militia boys can be reorientation into the state police

State police will reduce the insecurity we are witnessing in Nigeria. But the Nigerian politicians, being who they are (wicked people) will come up with reasons why Nigeria is not ripe for state police. Yet they go about with many policemen guarding them. If the citizens are not allowed to bear arms to protect themselves, at least there should be state police and even local government police.

Nice suggestions, but who pays the police?
Can state government pay them?
A state that owns a police force they can't pay is a risk for it's residents.

of course I've already thought about that and I agree with you that not all states can afford it but those states that can afford to run a state security outfit should not be discouraged from establishing there state security outfits just because some few states cant afford to establish there own this is democracy.
And im sure a lot of big states can affford it ...

1 Kano
2. Lagos
3 Anambra
4 Rivers
5 Ajuja (FCT)
6 Sokoto
7 Oyo
8 Ogun
9 Jo's
10 Ondo

That's just name a few

But I think the Regional security outfits like Amotekun, Civilian JTF in the north and ebubeagu can be converted to state police for more transparency and funding.

As for local government, we are already doing something similar in our landlords and tenants associations , so the state can find a chanel to better raise founds for community policing. That states a a huge task in there hands if we want a better security for our people

State policing is very necessary in a country as large as Nigeria, even down to LG police departments are necessary, this will greatly improve security, the more the people talk about it, the sooner it will come to actualization.

it's better we clamour for this the best we can....the government should employ our unemployed youths to the state security before all this militia groups and terrorist entice them to the bad sides.

They will take it out your wallet sir. Besides state that can't aren't forced to do it immediately or at all. Let's take simple things like providing water does your state or local government do it? Another example is prisons which has been moved out of the exclusive list. Are they breaking their necks to construct prisons? Notice they just because they have option or duty doesn't mean they rush to do it or even opt to because they know most if their residents don't care. States that can and are willing will do so. The ones who aren't either won't.

That's true, state and community policing, I believe will ensure more security as well as employment and laws can better be enforced.

The point stands even if you don't like the facts. If you're missing the forest for the trees I guess you're too dense to get the point. It doesn't matter if all the States are able to pay the police. The ones who are willing able can do it first thing. The rest may catch up when ever fiscal realities determine. There's no reason to retard progress of other states just because one can't or won't ever.

Take this talk to the Senate, it's easy, isn't it?
You are all mouths on social media without thinking, so federal policing will be existing concurrently with state policing as it is now?
Or they should maintain federal policing for some states and state policing for others, same u will still come to cry marginalization.
Or states who cañ't afford proper state policing should left without policing?
Most of u in Nigèria need to think basics before u type on social media, u all have been so sophisticated and enlightened on social media for ages and it's hasn't in any way helped u.
Be Sophisticated in reality let's see.
Comparing water supply to policing is a very Iamè comparison to even start with.

Who cares cares of its easy? Yes both tiers of government can shares duties. They already do it with prisons. They states that want or need federal police can negotiate witg the federal government. Let their representatives work busy body. Allowing the states the option have their own police force didn't eliminate the federal police just like it doesn't Eliminate other functions that exist in the concurrent list. Your questions are pretty dumb but common sense isn't that common it seems.

The water supply to policing is apt because Water is must to survive. No state can say they provide the majority of their residents in any local government their water needs. Just like water thestates will address their issues at their own pace. They're doing so with prisons until the federal government stops accepting state and local law offenders.

Do u know how state and federal policing work in countries that run them?
With federal policing, it means the FG is funding the policing in some states while they told other states to fund their policing, in America, there so many things that federal police don't get involved in.
That's how it's supposed to be when we implement state policing.
If commóñ sènsè is common, u should have known that providing water for the people is a function of the Local góvèrñment as well as street lightning and building of parks.
So comparing water supply to policing is apt in ur sènsè, I see we shouldn't be talking in the first place.
There's no reason for u to start ur initial reply with abuses but are so èmpty u started with abûsès, I have exchange mentions with people on this same topic with señsîble contributions, yours decides to start like the avèràge agbero, I won't stop low to reply u again.

Please stop replying me with foolishness. I agree you done that enough. Anyway You're not countering the arguments made why state policing should occur. Nigerian states that have funds will establish theirs first. If the federal government has funds they assist various states. Just like prisons state ate going to be expected to shoulder their own burdens. Since the federal law enforcement won't disappear they will still have an active role in enforcing state and local laws till these states catch up. Nobody said let's leave a vacuum of security. These things will be negotiable between the tiers of government

Yes there are different types of federalism being marble cake and layer cake. The federal government does assist with some funding on its own discretion in the United States. At the end of the day most policing and emergency services are done and funded by local and state governments in America. This why there's different police departments in every city. There's city, county jails and state jails. Most of the funds to take of this are done through property taxes.

Back to the water example since you're still crying about it. You're wrong providing water isn't a statutory duty of local government. This is why you have state water board or corporations. The comparison is apt stop whining about it. Even if the providing water was exclusively the local governments job the state could hand out discretionary fund to further that aim. You tell me which state provides the majority of their residents the water they need.
