Lagos Launches 24-hr Surveillance Camera Operation

Deterrent?. They can as well install dummy cameras instead of wasting money on real cameras that will only serve as a deterrent factor.

It is really strange that for some people being patriotic means never looking at things without attaching and coloring it with emotions. We are all here because we identify with Nigeria one way or the other. This is not a competition about who loves Nigeria the most.

You still have to criticize constructively. Tell me one thing the govt have done that has been praised by the duo of Kobojunkie and Nuzo?.

On the other hand, shall we stay without cameras and remain in the stone age?

save that - and why must I follow your line of thought that the project will fail or will not work? Do you beleive in what is called the other side of the coin? I dont have to be pessimists like you, remember? Just as you dont have to be optimistic like me.

Don't stretch your neck over those AWOL Nigerians that prefer eating with pigs to going back to their motherland and live like a prince.

AND THE BATTLE CONTINUES! it is ga ju?

Whether the cameras will be functional or not is another question.

However, this Fashola guy is really a man with vision.

It is almost impossible to run a civilised society without cameras.

Thats how we know that we dont have very intelligent ppl running the country. Of all the problems the nation is facing the best thing they could come up with is cctv,  just great.

 

I'm not sorry i'm not singing Fashola's praises but I do not rebuke his efforts either, but I believe the reason for a forum is to voice your opinion and listen to that of others. And in my opinion Nigeria tries to be western more than it tries to grow.
If you have an outbreak of a disease you first find the cause before you can find the cure. If a person is hungry, desperate, with no job, feeling hopeless and fustrated, follow him around with a camera all day if you will, he will still commit crime because he has no other choice,  and he'll probably hate you for spending what could have fed him for a month on a fancy camera that does not solve anything instead keeps the citizen under the close watch of a currupt goverment.

I don't think that the decision comes from the people running your country. Look up the term "Illuminati" and you will understand a little more why these types of programs are being implemented globally. It is the next step in an ongoing movement towards global slavery and elitist control.

I would go into it, but I cannot for security reasons.

 

Hopefully it works. After the criminals are recognized on the CCTV, is the Nigerian police going to have gas in the police cars to go and arrest them? 

Where will these cameras' be installed? The 'Ajegunles' and the 'Oshodis'? Or the Highbrow areas?

Will these camera's be mounted where they can capture the Nigerian police/ MOPOL demanding and taking bribes from bus drivers?

Are these Camera's indesdtructible? A picture of some drunken thug dismantling the cameras comes to my mind.

Will those caught on camera be prosecuted for their crimes? Do the Nigerian courts accept video evidence?(Not very sure that they do)

This idea sounds to me like a bloody waste of time and money. We don't need cameras, we need incorrupt law enforcement agents and government officials. I hope the monies for this project will be diverted to a more beneficial cause.

i beg to be excused from this thread as most of the comments are getting infantille, as usual when you disagree with a set group of people, enjoy asserting your views

You read my mind.

See these anumanis talking about bad mouthing and blah blah. How many of such rubbish have we seen in our life time?? I remember when I was a ki and traffic lights were at some junctions in town, barely six months later, the poles were still there but the traffic lights werent working.

We are not saying the idea is bad, but CCTV needs a bunch of other stuffs to make it work properly. Iheard someone say put it on NTA news. And then what?? I could step out of my house now, cap someone, board the next flight to a neighbouring state, get arrested and make bail without anyone knowing I have outstanding warrants in another state.

We asked about Power for the Cameras, Who will watch the Cameras?? The same Nigerian police I know??

Instead he should invest the money towards communications equipment for the police. I'm talking about walkie talkies, Patrol cars with radios and an emergency switch board for the state.


PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE NUMBER TO CALL IN AN EMERGENCY?? I heard 199. tried it and my phone responeded thus "The number you have dialled is incorrect, please  check and try again".

Thats what lagos needs now. Not putting the state on big brother.

What do you suggest then?. We stay without cameras and continue living in stone age until christ comes?. No society has incorrupt law enforcement agencies.
