festacman: How can SP Benjamin Hundeyin pass through only TWO police checkpoints and tag his brief experience a social experiment with a conclusion drawn? That's a bit poor from a police officer with masters degree in Legal Criminology and Security Psychology. I mean two police checkpoints can never constitute a sample size in any credible social experiment more so in a state as Lagos. Any conclusions drawn from two checkpoints out of hundred of checkpoints in Lagos State is rather scandalous.
For this experiment to be credible, the following have to incorporated: - It has to be in at least 50% of the local government areas in the state. - It has to cover particularly the notorious police extortion areas of the state. And if he wants to know these areas, he should request for suggestions. - It should be done during the day and in the night.
Excuse me SP Hundeyin, it is important that Nigeria Police should incorporate undercover operation in its quest to sanitize the police. These undercover officers should go around to police stations ( notorious ones as Igando station) as complainants and suspects, vehicle passengers, carry lap to while on jeans, transport home appliances duly receipted, etc.
What he just mentioned happened to me last night! And I got the same result.
I wound down, put on my inner lights and smiled. They gave me their handshake (it seems to be a thing for them now) asked for something and I politely refused. They let me go.
This is always my case when stopped like that. So, he is quite correct.
Fortunately for me, police officers respect me a lot when they see me on the road. Friends initially said it was because I wasn’t using a big car, but even now that I’m using a big car they still respect me and let me go without demanding for papers

Same with me. I’ve never ever had trouble with a police officer in my life. And I’ve been driving for more than 12yrs now
N3TRAL: Nigeria is a tough country to survive with a minimum wage of 30,000 naira (less than $ 100 USD per month).
To cater for one's family in Nigeria as a civil servant, one has to increase their income through begging or sharp practices while engaged in the civil service.
Go to Universities and Polytechnics, lecturers are selling handbooks to students. Some of these lecturers will teach you well and mark your papers well whether you buy their handbooks or not. Other lecturers will not teach well and score you low if you do not buy their handbooks. We don't spit on the lecturers because education is important.
Go to Immigration offices across the country. Staff are collecting huge sums to process passports. People even beg them to collect bigger amounts to process their passports faster. We don't spit on the staff because traveling is important.
Go to file court processes even in the court registry, you have to pay the staff extra money so that they can handle your files happily. We don't spit on the registrar because getting justice is important.
Try to book an appointment with a prominent person who has a busy schedule. You have to appreciate his P.A or secretary with money and airtime. We don't spit on the them because seeing the big man is important.
It is same at every government department in this country.
When the student returns from school and the lady leaves the immigration office to encounter a police officer at a checkpoint, he/she spits on the police officer because security is not important and the police was standing under the rain sun unlike the others.
Just like almost every lecturer sells handouts, most police men just beg for 100 naira or 200 Naira to complement their 45,000 naira a month without seeing their families. Not all of them are like the lecturers who victimize students who don't buy the handbooks.
Ask the drivers whose cars were auctioned in Lagos Last week, they'd be praying a police officer had asked them for 5000 naira or 10,000 naira at the spot instead. Ask G-boys wey dey EFCC custody, they will tell you they wished a police officer asked them for little at a checkpoint instead.
When e reach police officers we dey form sane clime. If police dem follow form sane clime tow people car wey default go station, car for finish for Naija. Though there are bad officers, let's appreciate the good ones please.
Double standards everywhere.
When a system is antithetical to good standard of living, people will naturally resort to cutting corners to live their dream life.
When a system put in place a banking system that guarantees credit facilities to her citizenry and create enabling environment that supports production and also entrench rule of law, our society and our experiences will be better.
You are right sir but not all officer on the road behave like that or compliments your polite greetings, the worst officers are those on Sagamu- Ijebu Ode -Ore- Benin - Sapele- Warrri,Benin- Onitsha to Eastern hinterland. Any how they will stop you and order you to park, the next thing where are your particulars or some simply wetin you bring for us ,some are polite however.
Period007: With just 2 sample sizes you have already drawn conclusions and published your work? Your degrees should be questioned if this is how you carried out your project/thesis

Police may be largely uncouth, but majority of road users cannot be excused of needless aggression and hostility. Many drivers approach checkpoints and suddenly become belligerent when the officers haven't even begun questioning. It's irritating.
alizma: My Boss, Arthur U. At Umuahia, thought me that process long time ago. I discovered he always had his way even when the uniform men seems rigid on other drivers. one day I just ask him, oga how you dey take know all these people na and he said I no know any of them o, ah how come dey just dey allow you pass anywhere we reach? And he said, if you are playing music, as you approach them, turn it down, on your inner light, great them with respect just like you great other people you respect, if possible ask them how is the work and family, then smile. If they no get any tangible reason to suspect or search your vehicle, you don get pass mark be that. Believe me this has been working for me too. Note, I no carry dada hair and I no dey sag trousers so your own case fit dey different even after you apply those measures.
Good one my officer. In the next variables, wear pseudo dreadlocks,tattoos,beards,torn jeans. Put on Apple Watch, earrings & necklace. Drive on Benz or Lexus. Using 2 checkpoints as sample is poor. Try close to border checkpoints or checkpoints on lonely roads or highways.
Not all of them are like the lecturers who victimize students who don't buy the handbooks.
