We have serious problems in how we address issues in Nigeria.

Every incident out of the ordinary turns into a ''bash Nigeria'' opportunity.

One even called the scuffle ''a national disgrace''.

I mean, WTF?

In most other places the fight between the two officers would simply be assessed on its own merit, independently of anything else. But here, it becomes a wider issue about how ''Nigeria is this'' and ''Nigeria is that''.

Truth is many of us just have a terrible inferiority complex and constantly seek out  opportunities to affirm our self-hate.

Tragic.


Plz name those places. . . . by the time you're done naming, you'll realize that you've only listed the places in your village.



Well, if you wish to call New Jersey, United States, my village, more fool you!!!

N.J. police officers fight in Bloomfield
Friday, 23 July 2010 14:33


Essex County Prosecutor's Office investigating brawl that sent public servant to hospital
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office is debating whether to conduct an investigation into a knock-down-drag-out brawl that occurred between two Bloomfield police officers Saturday afternoon, spokeswoman Katherine Carter said.

A Union official told The Star-Ledger that officers Officer Bruce Calkin, a 14-year veteran of the department and Officer Fabian Rojas, a 12-year veteran came to fisticuffs when Calkin was emptying a garbage can in the parking lot and allegedly hit Rojas' police cruiser.

The two officers began scraping and in the end, Calkin had to be transported to Mountainside Hospital in Glen Ridge. Rojas, an amateur mixed martial arts fighter, reportedly sustained no significant injuries as a result of the fight.

The rumble came on the heels of the department's police chief being demoted to captain. His demerit allegedly raised tensions within the department between supporters of the chief and those who did not. However, there is no indication that the fight had anything to do with Captain Mark Leonard's demotion, which is also being investigated by the internal affairs unit.
Councilwoman-at-large Patricia Spychala told The Star-Ledger she received an e-mail from the administrator concerning the altercation between Rojas and Calkin, but said she was told to keep it confidential until the prosecutor's office got involved.

Then, she said, she saw news of the fight had been leaked to a local newspaper. "There goes confidentiality out the window," said Spychala.

Mayor Raymond McCarthy denounced the incident, saying public employees must hold themselves to a higher standard.

"It cannot and will not be tolerated," McCarthy told Bloomfield Life. "Plain and simple. We all in public office need to be above reproach, and I don't appreciate (their conduct)."

Detective John Sierchio, state delegate for the Policemen's Benevolent Association Local No. 32, who is known for his open, vocal criticism of the department, said there is no leadership within the department.

"Right now, there's such a lack of discipline," said Sierchio. "It's a total free-for-all in Bloomfield. No one's afraid of the consequences of something like this happening."

Calkin is a member of the Policemen's Benevolent Association Local No. 32. Rojas is a member of a recently formed chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 214.

Captain Leonard was notified by Frederick Carr, Bloomfield's township administrator on June 18 that he must cease using the title of chief. The state Civil Service Commission does not recognize Leonard as chief, Carr wrote in a memo, because the council's resolution to appoint him to the position in 2009 was procedurally incorrect and vetoed by the mayor.

Sierchio and Capt. Christopher Goul filed suit against the township last fall alleging that Goul should've been promoted to chief instead of Leonard because he earned higher marks on the Civil Service Commission test.

FOP Lodge 214 President Anthony Argento tempered his remarks, pending a review of all the facts surrounding the incident between Rojas and Calkin, NJ.com reported.



Oya, people, did any of you hear about this incident in America, including those of you who LIVE in America?

Nope!

Did you visit any website and see Americans tearing their hair out over the ''national disgrace'' the scuffle between two officers had brought upon their nation?

Nope!!

There was another big fight involving several policemen in India.

It's on youtube!

Did you hear about that one?

Nope!!

But because of the way we blow every single negative incident out of all rational proportion, today, HALF THE WORLD AND ITS DOG knows about the Nigeria police fight.

And people wonder why I say Nigerians are their own worst enemies.

Oh shut it. Weep for yourself. 

And let me tell you one more thing lady. You never know the day YOU could get involved in a brawl at your workplace (assuming you have a job). It's not as if people go out to work with a plan to fight their colleagues. Shiit happens.

Even on senate and parliament floors across the world, brawls happen. We're human. Humans snap sometimes when stressed. So go weep for yourself, Little Miss perfect (ie until someone decides to deck you one day).

I don't blame them I blamed my great grand father, when he would have stayed to be caught & sold into slavery he ran into the jungle thinking he is smart, his smartness has forced my eyes to behold this woe, instead of being in yankee by now as an African American,

If I could turn back the hands of time, I will pay slave traders to buy my parents into slavery. LOL

If you're unduly aggressive to Nigeria, don't be shocked when someone comes along and is equally aggressive to YOU.

I restate, just for the record: The two coppers' fisticuffs has NOTHING to do with ''Nigeria'', and everything to do with humans being humans, something I've shown by highlighting similar occurrences elsewhere which have gone unheralded since people in those climes seem to grasp this basic fact of life that's apparently beyond your ilk!!!
