@osasp sorry but i disagree. Yes the power supply problem remains the giant elephant in the room but cctv coverage is also very important as a means of ensuring security and stability as well as solving crimes. Nigerian criminals continuously exploit the ineptitude of a non functioning police force and as long as people in Nigeria know that they can commit crimes and so easily get away with it, the security situation will remain appalling and thereby affecting everything from home lives to businesses, banks are robbed so often it is ridiculous. It is so easy to argue from the perspective that if you raise the living stndards then such will stop but i don't buy this, Nigeria's own case is mostly greed, greed, greed. I am for anything that will serve as a tool for law enforcement because i can't see how people all over the place can continue to break the laws and get away with it while people continue to call such a working society. If you just think about it carefully, Nigeria and lawlessness go hand in hand hence the state of things. It has come to define everything, from inflating of contracts to just daylight robbery in the political community, from stealing of votes to bribing of every official in range just to get work (which people are paid for) done or not. I mean, even the police force needs policing themselves.

The importance of power to Nigeria can never be overstated because it affects everything, if the lagos government can somehow provide that state with stable powersupply, that alone i believe will drastically improve the economy (and that is just lagos). However seeing that this power problem has remained at a critical stage for so long now, does that mean that everything else should remain in suspended animation? Fixing power and doing other things aren't mutually exclusive, so if both can be attacked then why not? If special power plants need to be built just to run such venture like CCTV then so be it.

even here in the uk, it takes more than a few rotating cameras to keep the people under control
a typical case involving a cctv footage of the criminal doesnt mean he/she has been caught.
[size=14pt]in most cases, details of these suspects are dug out to reveal their identity.
do we have a database where former offenders will be stored to prevent crimes from reoccuring?
is the police fast enough to arrive a crime scene before heavy damage has been done?
c'mon man, its naija we are talking here[/size]
cctvs just can't work in nigerialook at the case of power supply now.
if they are reproduced to work on solar cells they would probably end up getting destroyed still
these things require 24hr surveilance and control from highly skilled individuals.
do you really think this can fit into our system?

what i would suggest is they train these law enforcement agents properly
provide them with better working conditions and increase patrol around crime-prone areas
with facilities to call for help when necessary
that to me is the best solution

even if it functions:

where is the infrastructure to respond?

how will they idenfity anyone?

osasp:

i do agree that it will reduce the crime rate in the area but it appears you don't see what im trying to say.
handling these machines in the first place takes alot of training.
they need the database to identify people(doesnt have to be a criminal one)
i saw in one of your posts that they could build power plants just for d cctv
do you really see that happening in nigeria?
i don't know if its just my perspective blinding me but the system 2 me is so messed up that probably getting these tapes for an investigation would be hell.
im really looking forward to seeing the whole cctv thing being introduced into the system
but who are we kidding?
now that its got power problems, it has probably ground to a halt
flushed down the drain like other ill structed projects

all i am saying is, it wont work because it is nigeria we are talking here

these goons stay out of Naija and criticise anything done in Naija - bastards.

CCTV can and DOES work in Nigeria. Lets all forget all the negativity all around us and encourage/concentrate/build on the positive. Just follow the link provided, and you can monitor Mobolaji Bank Anthony road in Ikeja (formerly Airport road) in real time , as the camera there does work and works well. Maybe the Police should consult/liaise with the right people to make cameras work/perform as planned
