There is a big institutional problem with Nigeria. Why can't this guys sync for the common good of Nigerian. And with all the police divisional headquarters around festac, why can't SARS go there to fight? Na poor niggar wey dey smoke igbo dem sabi arrest. Idiots.

OlujobaSamuel:
silly excuse. na airforce excuse worse pass. so because you are to defend our territory and robbery no be territorial crisis, you then decide not to honour the SOS call. PMB, I think the sacking needs to continue.

meforyou1:
do u think u know about the Nigerian Army more than me?

Etizz:
Let's be frank, the police can not do everything, now they went through the water, and it's obvious that there is a force that has d responsibility of that, I see no reason why the Navy and airforce shy away their responsibility,..... I strongly luv the truth, and the truth is dat, our so called Navy and airforce are absolutely doing nothing in our country, and they receive huge amount of money monthly........ It's sad.

FirstCounsel:

Sir you obviously don't understand the operational mode of the military. No officer in command of troops would deploy them without authorization from senior commanding officers who in turn must have cleared with their respective Chiefs at Abuja. You want them to be court martialed? You need to understand how coups started in the past to understand that there are tough restrictions on matters like this. Mind you I KNOW what I am saying

Soknown:
Thank you, that is what I wanted to say. NPF has a hanger in the Local airport and they do have choppers but the big question is do they have pilots trained in combat flight or air reconnaissance or whatever.

Etizz:


Alright sir, thanks for enlighten me, but seriously, those airforce don't fly, I think they should patrol by flying round their vicinity in case of emergency like dat, how many times have u seen airforce in the air? Is dat, they don't usually have work dat involves flying? OK, now they have bin called up on, I think the commanding officer u are talking about is aware of the case, why not issue or authorize them to go after dem, or is it not the country they are protecting? Sir, I may not know much though. Thanks

meforyou1:
what do you mean? Is armed robbery not a crime worthy of Airforce attention? Watch 9/11 documentary. When about 2 or 3 aircrafts were missing, an airport officer phoned the military and told them that civil aviation suspects a missing plane was high jacked and was heading to Washington and asked them to scramble jet bombers. They did that immediately. they did not wait for authorization from the commander in chief or from the chairman joint chiefs of staff. Difficult situations deserve quick thinking.

See my babe ooo , how are you & princess.....

What do you call counties in the US? They are local govt & the reason our local govts are not functioning is cos the kind of Governance we practise, everything is centralized, but when power is divested from the centre, you'll see a difference...

How do you expect a guy that grew up in bukuru jos to know the ways to police in Ila orangun Oyoo state

Best police practice starts from the local govts, you have you have west hollywood police unit, before LAPD before you now talk about FBI stationed in California..

Onegai:


come and carry madam, I want a refund back on the past 1 year (preg+ baby). How's your boy?

I know we have counties but the truth is, LGs don't function in Nigeria. I knew the past LGC of Festac (a young man) and he too was just as bad as older predecessors (Corruption is too ingrained in our culture). Half the roads and amenities we complain we lack is supposed to be provided by local govts. Imagine if they add security to their portfolios, they will use police do even worse while still not providing security.

Every sensible idea always has k-leg in Nigeria.

geesilver:

The last time i check,i am aware that the police has 5 helicopters parked in Abuja. So why blame the Navy and Airforce for your incompetence?

So airforce wants nigeria police to get clearance from airforce headquarters in abuja before the engage armed robbers in festac town lagos. This country is a joke

OlujobaSamuel:

Am not defending the NPF, they also gave a silly excuse, but that of the NAF is worse, their rule is not cast on stone. They could have honoured the call and stop those bandits, then we address the ineptitude of the police force later. Are soldiers meant for election, don't you see them during that period, how about subsidy saga.
In the face of death/illegal act, stop it anyway, in as much as the cost will not be more than benefits.
The developed country you cited is up to the task, Nigeria as it is, is not up to. Do you know there is no military in Costa Rica, and it's even forbidden for any House to try enact such law, yet there is crime and they are curtailing it their own way. We are not Americans, British, Ghanaians but We are Nigerians and we need a Nigeria solution. Thanks.

OLUWAFUNMISE:
hope you people will not later blame Man O War.
