The Nigerian police is saddled with the mandate of enforcing law and order in the country also also maintaining internal security. Impressively, it has effectively discharged its functions over the years through the support of the government and public. However, this could only be achieved with the presence of competent individuals who put the interest of their nation first.


In every institution, there are great men and woman who are always worthy of celebration as a result of the way they have distinguished themselves in excellence - the armed forces is particularly known for this. The presence of capable personalities is what builds strong institutions. Just as the popular saying goes " oil flows from the head" which implies that good leadership always starts from the people at the top. A few brilliant individuals at the helm of affairs in any organisation is enough to make a difference and institute the necessary desired change.

An organisation is as good as its leadership. Having said that, let's bring to notice some top officers of the Nigeria Police who are doing well for the nation. Our focus here however is those who have either served or are currently serving under the administration of the present government.


Before that let's do a quick recap; the government of President Buhari has been very committed in it's effort to ensure an effective police force that will be equipped enough to handle any form of threat to internal security. In an attempt to achieve this, it has made various changes in the leadership of some security heads particularly the police which is why we have seen new faces climbing the hierarchy of the paramilitary institution. In the current administration, about 5 different inspector general's of police have been appointed. Some of this appointments have generated mixed reactions for sentimental reasons. Why many are of the argument, that boss should be from another region other the north, a good still emphasis on the competence of the leader regardless of his ethnicity which is a valid point anyway.


The perception of lopsidedness can be countered with some of the senior ranks in the force which are also of other ethnicities like Igbo. Some of this people occupy the positions of AIG, DIG and other top offices. So here, we make a list of officers of Igbo extraction who have been in leadership positions of the police unit and some who are still occupying such seats.

1. Frank Mba:


We must have regularly heard of the name or even seen the face. After the Inspector general, Frank MBA is probably the most seen officer in the police. He is the public relations officer of the force headquarters in Abuja - a position which automatically makes him the image maker of the unit. DCP Frank is usually at the fore front of relating with the public and receiving complains. He is in charging of conveying information to the media.


Frank MBA has a rich educational background having studied in several institutions. The police PRO happens to be a lawyer by profession with a masters degree from a university in Scotland. He has undergone several professional courses which makes him evidently qualified for the office which he occupies. MBA hails from south easter Nigeria and was appointed as the public relations officer by one of the IGP's appointed by President Buhari.


2. Peace Ibekwe:


A Peace maker and a crime fighter was the slogan used to describe the vary courageous Peace Ibekwe. As one of the few woman to rise to such level in the paramilitary, Peace proved herself to be very resilient. Mrs Ibekwe is a native of Onitsha in Anambra state and she was commissioner of police in Ebonyi State. She served at different divisions in the police and became an Assistant Inspector General. Some time in 2019, the female officer was recommended for promotion by the Police service commission and she was appointed Deputy Inspector General of Police by the Buhari presidency. She was once tipped to take over the mantle of leadership of the then Inspector General, Ibrahim Idris before her retirement in 2019.



3. Celestine Okoye:



Also an indigene of Anambra State, Celestine has held the position of commissioner in Zamfara and a few other states before being promoted to the rank of Deputy Inspector General. Okoye was among those elevated to that position by the former IGP alongside a few others. He stood with discipline and rendered selfless service to the nation. He recently retired and is currently a member of the APC in his home state.

4. Godwin Nwobodo:


Nwobodo occupied the position of DIG under president Buhari's government before retiring. He was formerly a commissioner before his appointment. He served under Inspector Idri's and Adamu respectively in that capacity before leaving office.


5. Alex Okpara:



Inspector Alex was promoted the level of Deputy IG of police alongside his counterpart Godwin. He was an outstanding officer who worked assiduously to discharge his duties.


6. Joseph Egbunike:



Joseph was among the second in command to the police boss as he was the deputy in charge finance and accounts. Also he has a rich educational background having bagged a both a bachelor and masters degree Law. The former Deputy IG served for over thirty years with the paramilitary agency. At a time he was the only south easterner in that hierarchy. Egbunike is from Anambra state, Nigeria and was still very much in service even in the Buhari administration before proceeding on retirement.

And so? They purposely retired Peace Ibekwe because they knew that she was going to be the next IG. Are they Northerners born to be IG? Is it a birthright or something? Our dear country is too full of favourtism, nepotism, tribalism and sentimentalism.

Fulani slaves!!!

I have informed my sister in the police force to resign and join ESN but she said she prefers the meat in the mouth to the one on the internet. Well, because blood is thicker than water,I have asked my boys not to kill her. She is dear to me. Other efulefu policemen that have refused to resign and join our darling ESN can go to hell...

NONSENSE




HOW MANY HAUSA FULANI




UNITY IS GONE,SINCE 1960





CLOWNS

I have said it, you can't see a successful or educated or hardworking igbo man getting involved in that criminal organization called ipob. 99.99% of ipob pigs are societal failures.

Lamidi cownu is nothing but a failure, the more reason he was able to get some weed smoking illiterates to form the terrorist organization called ipob. Ipob illiterates are like; let's scatter it so we scramble to pick it up again. In addition to criminal activities, they also have this foolish belief that when biafla comes, a govt of idiots will be constituted.

One business igbo man was telling me few days ago that as far as he is concerned, lamidi cownu and his criminal ipob activities are out of jealousy for those of them making living outside South East. The idea is that Igbos want them to abandon their businesses/occupation to come join them in their conditions.

6 senior igbo police officers compare to how many senior Fulanis officer's
