When a catholic bishop said the judges of the Supreme court are not from Singapore but scions of same badly bred Nigerians, some persons nodded in unionism because their ox was in the fight, not really because we hoped to do better or adapt to cause change.

Once same Nigerians are opporturned to stand in the podium of power to make decisions, the wrong choices are always made.

Today, I was in a shuttle on my way to koka coming from Asaba Airport, as we approached Mariam Babangida junction, some rag tag looking group of government armed men flagged us, I quickly scanned for badges, squad title and possible name/ number tags, the only remarkable identity I saw was anti cult vest donned by a gun wielding, young "officer".

While I was doing my mental scan, I became at ease when he spoke calmly and explained they are on a survey mission and if the shuttle driver wouldn't mind, he should pack and stop for a few survey questions. Immediately this "officer" spoke calmly, the guys inside the shuttle with me raised their voices and became instantly rebellious, I reclused myself mentally from the revolt and watched the psychological defeat of Nigerians who everyday cry for better synergy and treatment between civil and forced individuals...

I bet if the "officer" had spoken in the normal NPF fashion, no one would have been motivated to say pim. The best would have been to murmur and curse under one's breath...

It was when the shuttle developed fault just a few meters away that I knew all the talk of "I am late for work" bla bla bla were just shalaye and yen yen yen put together, people who were in a hurry couldn't come down to board another shuttle for 100 naira... Everyone including yours sincerely had to wait for the driver to trouble shoot.

So in a nutshell, do you think Nigerians
will be more responsible and cooperative when talked to with respect and courtesy Or rebellion will increase

The government and those within it's circles aren't in any way separate nor can they be separated from the citizens/governed.

The government is a selection of citizens who graduate to positions of governance.

Nigerians are animals…

From family to open society, na so.

Any Nigerian with an ample opportunity is a beast

Nigerians like to prey on the weak

When a Nigerian speaks softly, other Nigerians might take them for granted

Talking softly is a weakness in a jungle society like Nigeria.

Most Nigerians do not know how to act, they act like hungry chickens, a particular group and region are pro anti establishment. Respect everyone, police or not.

Op....this matter is simple every Nigerian will have to go for a proper orientation on how to address the police with respect. It is part of the NPF policy, they trained their men to respect the citizens but the way we behave toward them is very terrible.

In Nigeria there is a high level of MENTAL INSTABILITY! the root course is'nt far fetched; poverty of the mind.
It will get worse because it's now mixed with other social vices such as lacking-courtesy, unruliness, nepotism & tribalism.
Even here that is seemingly a faceless platform!, u see it been exhibited expressly...imaging it that @Seun Osewa and his tech team enabled a VN/VM for NL?! Lolz SMH.

OP you've done well bringing up such sensitive discuss @ NL moderators i.e please kindly do the needful for more wider discuss and i hope some persons get to read and become learned.

Wittyness.

I dey come

We want to see a female IGP

Op


We've been programmed on a default to see police officers as a threat to life or as extortionist at every given time.


The calmly spoken officer will move from there to asking for particulars and then asking everyone to step down for a routine check and looking for a weakling to accuse and get dimes from.

Mostly, the devil comes with a smiling face, whenever he's coming to destroy you.

Never trust any police official.


And why should anti-cultism force be on the roadside?

Nigerians need a national orientation

Ok

Nigerians seem to dismiss diplomacy, gentleman behaviour and patience as weakness.

The archaic philosophy that "it is better to be feared than to be loved" still applies in Nigeria.

Truth is nobody is happy with Nigeria police, same way people are not happy with APC govt.

LikeAking:
Nigerians are animals…

Hian

Nigerians are generally too aggressive!

Cha E!

The same us complaining about Nigeria police, if we join them we will act in the same manner.

Meanwhile some of them are good, depends on your manner of approach.

Truth be told majority of Nigerians are rude

See a plot by the NPF to redeem their battered image, is it right for an armed govt official to be dressed as a rascal, imagine this team accosting you at night, u might think them to be kidnappers, in the act of trying to escape them u might ram into something, or drive into a lagoon, then news will carry it that notorious arm robber neutralize by the gallant officers of the NPL

The Osimhen situation is a real shame

So you met a policeman who spoke calmly and, maybe 3 passengers who replied roughly and all of a sudden, they are nice and angels from heaven?

What about the number of times Nigerians were calm and cooperative and policemen refused to do otherwise? What about the times Nigerians were stereotyped just for their hairstyle and for having beards?

I was in a Keke few Sundays back and a young guy was asked to alight... Asked where he was heading to for him to dress that way (he wore senator with palm o)... Asked to empty his bag, empty his pocket and open his phone. He asked them to empty his bag themselves in the glare of everyone that he doesn't want accidental discharge say them think say him wan comot gun or any other frivolous reasons... Refused to open his phone asking why they wanted to check it

The boss in the police van had to wave to the subordinates to allow him go, seeing that we in the Keke refused to leave the guy and zoom off as requested

This is what happens CONSTANTLY and just because you met a policeman who spoke calmly, you're now trying to twist the narrative... E be like say you no well abi? (No insults intended)

I rather spare a Snake than a Nigerian Policeman.

Their extinction will be a relief to a peaceful society.

They are simply a tool anyone can use at any point in time. Once u can settle well.

Only the responsible ones should be called police, the rest are olokpas.
