We ought not to yield our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, but we must learn how to be fully submissive to His will.
Let us yield ourselves to the will and power of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to accomplish His purpose through us.
Read Galatians 5:16-26
A Disturbing Trend
The proponents of state police argue that it would ensure that the states maintain law and order, while at the same time making possible justice and equity.
However, the proponents are silent over the poor handling of various security related issues in several states of the federation, while looking the other way when it comes to the activities of self-determination groups.
Of worry, is the heavy presence of strangers in most communities of the federation, these set of people do not have visible means of livelihood. Those in charge are aware of the unimpeded reign of crime, criminality and impunity in communities such as Molusi, Solanke, Olorunsogo, Molete, Oshodi, Scout camp, Aluko/Barracks in Felele, Ibadan, Oyo state among others.
The strangers in collaboration with natives have over the years, relentlessly plotted to dispossess an unspecified number of residents of their landed property.
Interestingly, Nigerians are free to reside in any part of the country, without harassment, threats intimidation and attacks.
But this is not the situation in the affected Ibadan communities.
Indeed, scheming and evil machinations of political office holders, who have the people's mandate has brought about the inability to secure lives and property to put an end to violent crimes across the six geo-political zones of the country.
Sadly, some state Governors have continuously manipulated the centralized policing system to their advantage.
Intimidation and harassment of political opponents and citizens who hold contrary views are commonplace in most states.
With reference to the above mentioned and happenings across the country, it is very dangerous to establish state police during this period of insecurity, economic hardships and agitations by groups for self-determination.
The clamor for state police revolves, perhaps, on self-interests and sectional aspirations, going by events in a number of states. Curiously, despite the presence of the office of the state security network at the Scout Camp Neighborhood market, criminals have continued to operate without hindrance.
Of worry, is the docility of political office holders and the people's representatives at all levels in the face of rising crime and criminality everywhere.
Indeed, most of these crimes are committed with the aid of motorcycles distributed by politically exposed persons as empowerment for young people.
A very disturbing trend is the inability of secondary school students to read and write, despite their appearance in school uniforms from Monday to Friday.
Their academic performance has exposed the government's feeble efforts in the education sector.
