Police is our friend at least that is what they say, but we have come to question this statement now and often due to the nefarious and unwholesome activities of some bad eggs in the police force, these are some good tips for you to make sure you don't encounter or be a victim of these bad activities



1. Never run away from a policeman : Never run from a Nigerian policeman, whether you are innocent or guilty or you are automatically signing your death warrant, in many European countries, their police force are equipped with tasers and stun guns to use on running criminals or offenders, but the case is not so in Nigeria, where the policemen only have loaded guns with no safety catch,.
some policemen are too lazy to chase criminals, they just let the velocity of their bullets do the running business.


2. Give them their dues : whenever you meet police men at checkpoints , and they ask you for money whether legally or illegally. Please give them, don't try to be the know it all or try to be one who is current in law matters, this might sound stupid but remember you are doing this for your life and the passengers you have in your care, we have heard and seen cases of drivers refusing to give policemen their dues and their passengers suffered dearly for it.


3. Don't joke or argue with a drunk policeman ; whenever you are at a bar and you see drunk policemen with guns. It is better for you to leave the bar club or joint discreetly ,but if you must stay, avoid the policemen like fleas and don't draw too much attention to yourself, drunk policemen are just like time bombs waiting to explode. Don't joke with them, because in their drunken state, they might not able to get the meaning of your jokes well , a drunk civilian can cause havoc not to talk of a drunk policeman with a loaded gun.


4. Watch the signs ; whenever you find yourself around a policeman with a gun whether drunken or sober, always watch for any hostility signs in them , especially when a policeman start talking about killing.e.g I feel like killing somebody today, I will shoot you, if you try me, I will show you pepper etc.. Don't wait to see if the policeman is actually bluffing, take to your heels .


5. Be cautious or avoid areas where a policeman had recently been injured or beaten : when you hear or you actually see a policeman being beaten in an area, please avoid going to the area for some time, because the policemen will come for their revenge and they either they do it directly or indirectly.. Directly ( by shooting at or battering some marked men at the area) indirectly ( by arresting the residents of the area and charging them with numerous framed offences)



6. Avoid confrontations with policemen during protest : avoid daring confrontations with policemen during protests whether peaceful or not, even if you are doing it for a just cause, don't throw stones, pure water etc at them, even if you are in the company of your friends , in a crowd or public gathering, remember a bullet has no person's name on it , in a crowd...it could hit you , or anybody close to you.

[size=17]#3. for police [/size]



[size=17]#4. for Nigerian army[/size]

Thank you... Please add, dont ever stop to look at any hullabaloo caused by police men, it might end up being a shooting spree







2016, no excuses for not looking dapper...

I Hate police men!

Wow!!! This is how you think as a civilian when you find yourself in a frustrated society like Nigeria.

Op, don't allow the frustration of the society change your reasoning of "ideal" reality.

After all these precautionary measures, would that give hope to the common man or coming generation?



Let us stop being myopic.. No offence please

Don't be an enemy
Don't be a friend
Always take cover

[size=20pt] long story The number1 safety tip is to hold 20 naira[/size]

Very necessary in this country... No go begin speak english, na wetin dem hate pass be that!

lol

when u see a policeman, just face front n walk. Most importantly, dnt act like a criminal.

Hopefully, dey won't tax u for taking a stroll without escort

The only way you can be safe from Nigeria Police is to be a Maggi seasoning.

stupid hungry mophos.... thank God my uncle is SARZ

Thank you for the advise!


But do anybody need to be warned about Nigerian Police...


No time...*Men go run like tomorrow no dey*...

Nigerian policemen can't just be annoying enough...

On point...they are police animals and not men.

I wonder if this works for all policemen world wide?

U are safer in the hands of armed robbers than in the hands of the Nigerian Police.

As for the money thing, there is no "legally". EVERYTIME a policeman forces you to part with your money, it is an act of extortion and IT IS THEREFORE ILLEGAL!
