Rubbish question. The military and paramilitary organisations are agencies of? They are controlled by? Answer those questions and see the gibberish in what you posted.

Nothing like interstate ban, am on my way to osogbo from Port Harcourt

Don't even try to be intentionaly illogical and ignorant....because they are controlled by the government means that the government asked them to collect bribes at various entry points?

I know not less than 7 people who have traveled inter state during this lockdown and the stories are same, you can't blame one person for the actions or inactions of another... That's dumb!

alabi484:


Lol... I didn't expect anything asides folly after seeing your first comment.

Stay safe!

The joke is on you. Can the top echelon in government really pretend that they are not aware of what is happening on our roads, airports and borders? What is the job of an employer, if not to instill discipline where employees are found wanting?
Oh I forgot, we are in a special entity called Nigeria where ineffective and corrupt service chiefs are left in office despite several calls for their sack due to their repetitive failure, where the head of the apex anti corruption agency is a renowned criminal and continues to hold office despite widespread allegations of high handedness, bribery and corruption including a damning report by the DSS, where the President's family and relatives are bigger than the law and therefore can travel at will even when not on essential duty.

Most importantly, I forgot that most Nigerians are complacent and docile. Sadly, you belong to that majority. I shouldnt even be having this conversation with you. Keep deceiving yourselves that your government should not be held responsible. Responsible governments across the world know that any failure or report of massive indiscipline from any of its agencies or arm calls for urgent disciplinary action even it will cost the head of that agency his/her job.

The average Nigerian is terribly corrupt and buyable, sadly so!

It is set of individuals that become and make up different parastatals and agencies across the nation and I don't think that joining a government agency will take out those characteristics but rather amplify them.

Now, it is the business of the family and society to produce sensible individuals who don't erode basic values....(that is the root).

I agree however, that serious and responsible government will instill discipline in and on their respective parastatals and the the persons who make them up.

You made a valid point and didn't necessarily need to toe the part of subtle insults.

fatdick:
Sorry for the 'subtle insult' bro. I'm just vexed at the entire system.

alabi484:

No problem, we can only try our best to be sane, do our part and hope for a better country with a slim glimmer of hope.

You made a very intelligent argument. Although, it wasn't ideal and what many would want to hear but it's unfortunately the situation. Nigeria hasn't grown enough to use technology to checkmate the excesses of our police and the entire security architecture.

You cannot checkmate an average police officer on the street. Orders are given to them often and they were given enough to make good security officers in their colleges but not so much can be done to force implementation.

Imagine a federal police officer in far away Zamfara messing the lives of fellow Nigerians, the government can barely identify him because there is often no record. If eventually he's recorded and goes viral, he's dismissed but that doesn't stop another cop in Ogun State from misbehaving.

They are humans and not machines. If they are all dismissed and replaced with new set of people, we'll still experience the same thing.

The police are from among us and so are our leaders.

The budget of New York Police Department is more than the entire budget of Nigeria plus many other African countries put together. Expecting the same level of training and professionalism is simply asking for too much.
