Let face home truth. Nigeria as a country cannot afford a good police force. We have what we deserve. some of those policemen actually buys their own uniform. Our society is corrupt and the police is part of that society. pls say it as it is. see our politicians and their way of life. corruption is a way of life in nigeria, a custom of the pple. I'm sorry if I am blunt

Rossikk:

How many of you brainless, self-loathing dunderheads could sleep a wink at night without the patrols and protection provided by the Nigerian Police? Illiterate, unpatriotic animals only good for tarnishing your nation for the flimsiest little rubbish.

Any thoughts for the hundreds of police officers killed and maimed yearly in battles against robbers?

All to keep you IDDIOT, IGNORANT, BRAIN-DEAD cretins safe?

So daft you don't know it's YOU the world is laughing at for your ignorance and stup.idity - not the ''Nigerian police''.

You are absolutely, honest - police is the system!

But, what can we do to better our system?

In my view, it would be nice to dismantle the whole Nigerian Police force (as they did in Haitie in the early 2000) and then recruit fresh bloods - young men/women between the ages of 18 and 20yrs old and raise them from scratch with modern values!


We should then, ask for secondments of high calibre police officers from the British Police Authority in whose tradition, Nigerian Police Force was formed, to mentor our fresh bloods until they are capable of handling the responsibilities.

But, it will not be easy and will take time to achieve, I could hear some people say. Yes, but who say it will be easy?

Training takes time, and time invested in training pays dividend in the long run at least, we would begin to trust and rely on our own young and educated police officer who understands the needs of a modern society and what it, expects of them.  

In fact, one that believes in hard work and takes pride in his job, not voraciously ambitious group who wants to own aeroplanes whilst on a police officers wage.

On the other hand, in line with their jobs, we have to offer them good/attractive salaries and make accessible to them, training and other incentives.  

In short, make the Police Force an enviable career as well as difficult to enter so that, anyone who wants to take up a career in the force will seriously, consider whether it is for them and the mountains he/she has to surmount to get in, just as it is with getting into the British Diplomatic Service.

In my opinion, that will enable us recruit high quality and skilled officers this country has been missing for a too long time and thus, kill the bribery and corruption that are wide spread among our current police officers.  Let's be realistic, there's going to be some that will slip through the net, abi?

Let's try it, and if it didn't work (of course, it will work after all, similar scheme worked in Haitie Police/Armed Forces and still working) then, we know we tried and we will be in a better position to try something else, or call back the old thieves, abi? Sure, they would all run back to their old jobs like a rocket, trust me!

Nigeria has to try new ideas after all,'He that is down needs fear no fall', what are we going to loose now, we hadn't already lost in the past 50 years? Tell, me, we shouldn't be afraid to explore new and farther seas, my people!
