So oh boy, how much did you give them as bribe to let you go? Well. it is good not to stop on the rail tracks but the police should help inform people by not harassing them but making sure that people do not stop on these tracks. There should be a sign post there instructing drivers not to stop on the rail tracks.This is part of the numerous police harassments to innocent Nigerians every day. |

But how on earth do we even expect a functional police force with stations like that.How can anyone remain sane for long in that kind of structure? |

lond07: Well said LOND, Inasmuch as the poster was wrong by stopping on the railway track, the police men must have been stationed there to GUIDE and not ARREST motorists. I am not sure that there is any road sign there. The barriers (though not existent at that spot) is not really needed for this discussion as there was no train movement at that time. |

To pinkrex, The point Haboosa is making is simple - The operation of the NP in that place is questionable. The guy has committed no wrong if there were no signs and he is even in a position to sue NP and NRC in the eventy of any accident. I am bold to say the guy will laugh last if it were in developed world |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by KokoBeware: 1:37pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
For crying out loud, you stopped on a RAILWAY LINE which is a crime anywhere in the world, its your fault, the fact that you didn't know dosn't make you right, and am sure there would have been a sign there, which as every average Nigerian you ignored, |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by lond07: 1:45pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
oops A rail track that is practically not in use for like a decade. Even you yourself will fall into the same trap. Granted, it is gradually coming back, but how many pple know it is partially coming back again . This is where you get to see responsible governance. |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by haboosa(m): 1:47pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
pinkrex:@ Pinkrex why did u just attack me like that? i was trying to explain to the OP that "no be today those guys don dey extort from that point" and they usually encounter military attack which make them keep off from that point for a while because the " Military bois dey teach the police at that point some lessons" @ Op dont mind those MOFOS police they are hungry cows which feeds on whatever they come across. even from that Railway to Alakara to Olosan even reach Zone "" which happens to be the divisional headquarters in Mushin they are all the same people, they will just spot unnecessary fault and instead of them to correct you they will be asking for Money. |

I cant believe people are actually defending the poster, he was on a bloody RAILWAY TRACK for goodness sake, it is very dangerous, sign posted or not sign posted, when will people start taking resposiblity for their actions. will you drive into a burning fire because it isnt sign posted? |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by pinkrex(m): 1:51pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
haboosa: You have a serious problem with comprehension and contribution Are you indirectly praising the OP for what he did by out rightly condemning the actions(even if extreme) of the police? |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by haboosa(m): 1:53pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
lond07:@ Lond07 thank you, i want you to know that those guys are only their for their personal pocket(illegally) so if you if you take them up they will beg you cos me sef had a personal encounter with them in the past @ the same point and those mili bois treat those police Bleep up and beat the hell out of them. |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by KokoBeware: 1:56pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
To pinkrex, In a developed world you wouldnt even dream of stopping on a road intersection not to talk of a railway track, and the guy didnt say there was no sign there did he?? |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by deenee: 2:02pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
NIGERIANS AND THEIR 'CULTURE OF BLAME EVERYBODY BUT MYSELF' FOR THE PREDICAMENT THAT I AM GOING THROUGH! I DON'T SUPPORT WHAT THE POLICE HAS DONE IN ANYWAY, BUT I WANT TO ASK ONE QUESTION; IF THE POSTER HAD NOT CROSSED THE RAILWAY (DEEMED A TRAFFIC OFFENCE BY THE WAY) ,WHETHER IT IS IN USE OR, WHETHER THERE IS A SIGN THERE OR NOT, WILL THE POLICE ARREST HIM? |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by pinkrex(m): 2:04pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
haboosa: Elements of mumu+social irresponsibily(not literary) of the highest order. Why dont you jump into the into the lagoon on 3rd mainland cos the is no danger sign there? Because laws are not perfect or not properly implemented in Nigeria doesnt mean we should abuse the imperfections |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by deenee: 2:09pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
lond07: HOW MANY ABANDONED RAIL TRACKS DO YOU CROSS IN LONDON? LET'S NOT APPORTION BLAME HERE, BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY! THE POSTER IS GUILTY FOR DRIVING ACROSS A RAIL TRACK AND ALSO CREATING AN 'ENABLING ENVIRONMENT' FOR THE NIGERIAN POLICE TO DO, WHAT THEY KNOW BEST AND THE NIGERIAN POLICE, (SHAKING MY HEAD IN HORROR!) , MAY GOD HELP US ALL. WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO! GOD BLESS NIGERIA AND POSTER, THANKS FOR THE 'ADVANCE WARNING' |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by Claus(m): 2:10pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
I think it's a bit unfair to criticize the poster. It is well known in Nigeria that many rail tracks are not in use. In such cases, the reaonable thing to do before crossing is to check that the way is clear. The fact that the car in front stopped was a bit unlucky. One can argue that the poster could have anticipated such an event, but still, I believe this incident can happen to anyone. Someone mentioned the U.K. At every rail crossing I've driven across in the U.K., there's a barrier that comes down, a red light flashes and a warning bell sounds when a train is near. It can take a few minutes before the train actually comes. Basically, it is made abundantly clear that the tracks are in use, and what motorists need to do. I commend the poster for putting the story up here because it will serve as a wake up call. Not necessarily to avoid police harrassment, but so that people are aware that even decrepit looking tracks may be in use and that they should take extra extra care, especially in the absence of warning signals or any clear instructions. |

Because laws are not perfect or not properly implemented in Nigeria doesnt mean we should abuse the imperfections I wonder who is "Elements of mumu+social irresponsibily(not literary) of the highest order. " in this scenario. You lack proper decorum and civility expected in a public forum. Why do you have to talk dirty and descend into irresponsible attack on personality. I expected you to make your point and if your argument is convincing I will applaud you and drop mine. But I must say you lack the depth of sound evaluation of matters. If you expect me to trade words with you then you must be a joker becos I will not condescend to the level of stupidity of your type |

lond07: Bring it on baby, I cant stand people that hate being hit by reality, I can see you trying to intimidate me with some grammatical eloquence but you have also failed to understand that we have people who will never understand a clear point unless they are being made to. I havent attacked his personality but his reasoning. And you dnt bleep tell me what decorum or civility here because you have just reciprocated in same retrospect. I made my points several times but he held on to his blunt contributions cos he wasent thinking outside the box. |
Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by lond07: 2:28pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
Read the post from deenee above and learn from his maturity. Look at the way and spirit exhibited presenting his own argument. Aba, let's learn to speak and write decently. |

[quote][/quote] I can see you are a bleeping Thwart , lack the eligibility to contribute in a socialized topic like this and above all you need to cross that railwayline , turn right ,walk stright and turn left (Yaba left) cos you actually need a neuro-psychiatric doctor to examine you if at your age you cannot read btw the line. . . . Steewpid I-m-be-c-ile . @ Deenee & Lond07 Godbless you for your contribution |

Just in case you guys don't already know members of the police are on this thread, see how some of their comments are giving them away. Very discourteous lot. |

@poster Eeyah, what the police was very bad, their conduct was unprofessional, but what you did was worse because you wanted to commit suicide |

Re: Nigerian Police Harassment @ Jibowu Railway Track by Demdem(m): 4:47pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
something similar happened to me today in PH. was simply driving carefully in an area am not so used to and suddenly some guys (local authorities i guess) surrounded my car and asked me to stop. I was accused of driving one-way. To be honest, despite I being careful, i did not see any sign or notification to suggest to me that its a one way and the street itself was a very short one. They tried entering my car but they couldn't. I was so annoyed and simply zoomed off. i felt guilty afterwards but when i realized that they are simply looking for who to exploit, i later felt ok with myself. |
