You shouldn't give up hope regardless of the situation. Being negative about things won't change it.

I lost everything since the year, Apc (buhari) took over Nigeria.
So help me God.

So the brutality is not ending soon

it can never end in nigeria....now that the FG don disband Sars and the masses are calling for justice....the police don dey para o....nigerians should be very careful now o.......especially the youths......

So, oga what is YOUR solution?! All of you that know how to pick holes in others' actions, kindly always state your prescribed solutions.

The only long-term solution for the mess that is "policing" in Nigeria is public accountability. Nigeria is simply too big, too populous and too ethnically-diverse for the sort of centralised nonsense that has been termed "policing" since colonial days. The primary unit of organisation for police forces should be at the lowest level possible (in other words, the LGA, and not at the state level), with chiefs of police (or sheriffs) being directly accountable to the residents they watch over, and completely independent of both the FG and the state governors. Ideally, this would also mean that the ordinary rank and file would be elected from locals (by which I mean people who actually live close to where they'll be working, not just "natives" who have never even stepped foot on the soil they call "home" because a parent or grandparent came from there).

This doesn't mean that police chiefs will now simply be elected officials, but that the body which decides whether any particular police officer is put in charge in an LGA must be staffed by local representatives who are themselves elected independently. It's one thing for a policeman posted from his native region to the opposite end of the country to demand bribes at gunpoint, knowing there's nothing any locals up to governor level can do about it, and something else for someone who has been your neighbour for several years, and whose children probably play with yours, to act the same way.

Of course, this being the sh*thole of a failed state that is Nigeria, none of the above will ever cross the minds of the dimwits who call the shots in Abuja.

Nigerians just went to shout for nothing as if SARS is one special security force... are they not the same police men with a different name....

They disbanded SARS....they will not sack them naaa, they will only become normal policemen and continue the harassment and brutality...

any revolution in Nigeria will consume police first!!!!

I love this so much.... That's what we all don't understand. This barbarity will continue......

I can see the benefits in this, but how would this work in highly polarized states, imagine what Southern Kaduna citizens for instance would have faced in such a scenario. Or Ife Modakeke crisis then..

You will get it back and more, just be patient. Focus on whatever is in your control.

airsaylongcom:
Let's use the correct words o. So many people use break for an injury to the head when it is actually a cut. A broken head injury is a very bad one. To break the human skull takes an unbelievably huge amount of force

it is called naija english....nigeria is one of the worst or if not the worst english speaking country....and they also hate correction...especially those brainless youth on nairaland....

Assuming he was actually mocking them, is mockery now a crime whose punishment is summary battery and injury? Some of you are just so dense!

it is not a crime....but na provocation o......right now the police dey vex o......any sensible person will avoid them for now.....those guys eyes dey red o....

"Break the head" is poor English.

It doesn't have to be a free-for-all: the FG can still step in to uphold the rule of law, in keeping with constitutional norms (as defined by the Supreme Court). Just look at how the American government handled all the segregationist southern sheriffs in the 1960s, for an example of how federal intervention ought to work when local forces fail to uphold basic norms of fairness. It is at such times when having a National Guard and a Nigerian equivalent to the FBI could be brought in (on a temporary, strictly time-limited basis) to set things back on the right path.

Right now, with Nigeria's highly-centralised policing, the entirety of the country is one big Birmingham, Alabama, with IGP Adamu being a national Bull Connor answerable only to a single person - Buhari.

For una mind, them don end sars ahbi,
Who be SARS who be police
And Nigeria youth are happy that SARS have ended I pity yours mother's Ass, 4 session 2 edicton

Clear. Makes sense.

Common OP, u scared the hell out of me. I clicked because i wanted to see a broken head and know what it looks like. The pictures only shows something similar to a scratch from a finger. Stop exaggeration, stay quiet if u have no news.

Skyfornia:
Nigerian Police...they are cursed. Nothing good will come out of them.

The corrupt, unprofessional and abusive ones pls.

SARS is dissolved, what about Police brutality??

This people no get sense. Very soon na #endpolice brutality, then people will take the street then laws permitting officers to be persecuted will be put in place.

I’m not picking holes in the actions of Nigerians ...I’m just saying the goverment is playing us....

Since sars and police are the same persons..My solution is that we should have asked for reforms.

Any police that kill Nigerian citizen should be tried as a civilian and sentenced to death for murdEr.

All police men should have at least audio recording device on them.for review of service and law of engagement...these things don’t cost much.... it’s curruption.. the government claim they spend than 500k to gear up one police man...they should be able to attach a recording device on each uniform for quality assurance

Stop and search police should stop carrying gun, just like traffic police don’t carry weapons

For once they should increase these people’s salary.. u can’t give someone a Kalashnikov rifle and be paying them as low as 30k....the rippling effect is what is happening....greed + bad economy is a recipe for disaster.


If they can’t allow free education and medical facilities for all, these people should be taken cared of.... oyinbo wey dey pay unemployment benefit, underage benefit, old age benefit, free education and healthcare knows the rippling effect...

Correct.
Which is why this is STEP 1.

But saying people should have done nothing is what I disagree with.

There are no stringent laws made to decisively deal with our over bearing illiterate police force... reasons things like this will never end.. SMH

I think the policeman opened part of Francis head to put small sense inside. It's possible they were mocking the police officers after the news.. The policeman cannot just attack him unprovoked.

I never said people shouldn’t have done anything.....we complained that sars should end...
but the police still shot at us.... so what do we do now... clamour for “end police”...I’m just saying we forgot that SARS and police and the people.. one and same unit..

Imthe protest was amazing, we could have channeled it better.... the goverment and police force can play us easily by saying sars has been disbanded.. but really nothing has happened internally..

One of the most significant outcome of these protests is not so much the endSARs but the fact that people for once spoke with one voice and I know this is just the start of more to come. That should be respected. They didn't shout for nothing.

Again

ban SARS not the best police na police u can him all names, police never finish all police should b reform, lean to respect police and any force man that carry gun ,some guys will insult them why, kidnappen go plenty more let very body have gum to protect.urself as Fulani's have too,e DON red ooo dnt close ur two eyes wen sleeping at night oo God bless Nigeria na politician spoil naija given guns to boys during election time
