We are all in this mess together.
All of us need deep attitudinal reform too because those troubling us now are not aliens or colonial masters, they are us, our people.
My padi in one office will trouble you today because he doesn't know you.
Our greatest problem is that we are covered and unclothed at the same time.
We shall overcome someday.
More of God's grace on our enemies.
I'm waiting for your official statement Mr. Celebrity.

The intimidation of Nigerians by the police force is depressing. I will relate my personal experience just last week. We were watching Manchester United Vs Bournemouth. When about 7 police officers arrived with their hilux. Rounded everybody up point touch light shouting una nor dey fear us. Those that dared to complain were immediately administered slaps generously. Before we know it some were hand and leg cuffed and bundled into the hilux. We were taken to the police station. Those with like 3000 Nairaland cash were let go and the rest of us without cash were locked up in the cell over night. The mosquitoes feasted on us generously we were not allowed to make calls until the next day. Other persons were also brought in and everyone was bailed with a minimum of 5,000 Naira. The painful part is that a boy of 14-15 years was locked up with us and meant to pass through the same ordeal as adults.

You can imagine making 5,000 naira from a minimum of 30 people daily.

The entire Nigerian police force has failed us and need reforming right from the top. Because the top officers know what is happening but are quiet because they are benefiting from it..

Singer Praiz addresses his encounter with the Police earlier today with a deep post, while we await the official statement.

He wrote :

Anyone that truly knows me well knows i am an easy going , non problematic, happy and co -operative individual.
Well, I’m not here to talk about myself. I am here to address issues that happens in our society everyday.
We live in a society where the government hn8as failed us whether we like it or not. No jobs, fuel scarcity , SARS , ASUU Strike , Nupeng Strike , Name it….. it’s endless .. HARDSHIP… ENDLESS HARDSHIP …. Today I had an encounter that a lot of people go through everyday. People who are heading home after a failed interview, people going home after a night shift , people on their way to get their daily bread but get harassed by people who are the force because of reasons best known to them or maybe because u are a young boy wearing a gold chain or have a beard .
Though I won’t deny the existence of great people in the police force that are ready to listen , I still stand by my opinion which is popular amongst the youth and more #ENDSARS
Today I learnt that the police force needs deep reform and sensitization.
This is not my official statement… my official statement will be out soon
Lastly I will like to thank @aleeygiwa , Mr Etim Godwin from J command for stepping in… #EndSars #NoBePhysicalSomething.


Seems he also supports the #EndSARS campaign!

Let this SARS thing be scrapped already, what is all this nonsense, at initial times we didn't even used to hear about SARS because they were discreet and well coded... Now it's them everywhere, they're even doing the jobs of the normal police... #END SARS# or scrap police... The govt should choose one.
Re: Singer Praiz Addresses His Encounter With The Police With A Deep Post by Nobody: 1:06pm On Dec 20, 2017

This country is a scam and we can never get it.
We can only get it when all the leaders ) good or bad ) die off. And then God should place us in the hands of the US government for a proper colonization, we will have sense.


Btw, pls bring your sense along if you must quote me




I bought sense along with me but come to think of it bro, US govt for proper colonization?? Nah fam,those people are worse off on their own and have enough problems what we need to do is to take charge ourselves but Nigerians fear everything in this life,the fear to change will never make us change our youths are like a ticking bomb but it's taking them too long to explode
