It was a cold winter and we were coming back from clubbing in another city, and as broke international student, a 15km taxi ride back home will cost a lot, as train was not operating that time. The friend that should drove us home disappointed.

We stopped a police van and explain our situation to them, and they only check our ID and drove us home free of charge. Even chatting with us like pals in their van. Good times.

Shoodboi:


You are talking off point. The fact that you're comparing a police officer to a criminal is enough to tell you there's something really wrong with the system. Which other government branch/agency will you compare to a criminal organization? The Army abd Boko Haram. I's better to be brutalized by the army than Boko Haram because... Common man!

thundafire:
fossilized u mean the were formed during stone age and still have that mentality

Nwaotu10:



In 2010

I went for a football trial in Russia with some other dudes from Naija. None of us passed the test, and returning to Naija is "no no" for me. I ran away from where we were camped and hit the street.

The hunger I met in the street was maddening, and I couldn't ask for help cos of Language barrier.

To cut the story short, I met a police officer and was crying profusely, making a gesture towards my stomach to indicate a riling hunger.

He took me to an eatery and I ate to satisfaction.

I showed him my papers and he took me to the airport and gave me 500 Rubles.
I thanked him and checked in.

Nwaotu10:


Our security forces are dysfunctional, outdated, demoded and fossilized. They need a total overhauling and afterwards, be equipped with a modern policing ideology with sincere concepts of rule of law and fundamental human rights.

I've been to Lusaka, Zambia. Throughout the years I spent there, I only saw their soldiers once when there was a small fracas in Lusaka then.
Nigeria is gone

Abeg i need a sam..sung phone.. A series. Second hand. 4/ 64gb upward

Police is actually your friend. Compared to the alternatives of "you" yes you and robbers. They are the better option. Its actually a technical question that mostly operate on our blindside. Like which has the darkest untamed/unchecked psychopathy?.


The arm robber is capable of stealing from you, killing you or raping you. Thats dark. What's even more darker is most our response Many People are so sick that the retaliations they exhibits involve slowly beating the robber and burning him alive. ( jungle justice).

Now compare that to the police. You to one extreme as enemy to the robber on the other extreme with police in the middle.

When the robber see a police when being beaten. He is glad. When you see a police when being robbed you glad. That is how I think we arrive at that crossroad. Police is your friend!

Buddha3:


You wey normal come online dey find A series with 64gb Rom for 40K nko?

You dey find cheap phone wey you go carry come promote Tinubu propaganda online. With all una sophisticated mouth, you no even fit afford phone.

Go to one of MC Oluomo's garage, you'll find a stolen phone to buy there.

I travelled to Ivory Coast some months ago, so I settled in a remote area to reduce cost as a newbie.

One day I was going to an office for registration. Before I could meet up at the junction by 9am, the vehicles heading towards my proposed destination had all gone out. So I stood by the junction for sometimes with the help of the tree branches acting as shed and protecting me from the scorching sun.

A woman selling stuffs by the roadside asked me why I hadn't stopped the police officers on patrol to carry me along.

I said ... Me?

She said Yes, you. Stop them and they'll definitely take you (in french)

I was shocked

I declined the offer (because I was still running on the Nigerian operating system version 1.0

She insisted that they'll gladly be of assistance to me.

So there was a large number of the police officers coming in their 2 Hilux vehicles and about 8 motorcycles running behind the Hilux.

I waved at the Hilux in fear. Make Dem no lock me up in the process. The Hilux carrying some officers stopped. I wasn't fluently speaking the french. I gesticulated much while dishing out the little french I had in me. One of the officers politely told me they were not heading towards my direction and zoomed off.

The woman insisted that I stopped the ones on the motorcycles. I did and they stopped one after the other. They pulled over along the verge of the road.

Then, I told them where I was headed. The others told me they weren't heading towards my direction but 1. Only one out of them all was heading towards my direction. He asked me to join him.



Na police be this or what? And one thing about these police officers here is that they are always neatly dressed. Clean from head to toe. Clean shaven.

That was how we rode till we got to the office, then I alighted. The distance we covered, on a proper commercial vehicle costs 1k here. Yet a police officer was able to render such help.

The woman said that's how they live here and I'm a testament of that fact.

The people here are always ready to assist.

POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND.

The Police Is Your Friend  (PISYF!!!)
“The police is your friend.”
This has been the motto of the Nigeria police since the inception of the NPF (Nigeria Police Force). 


"The Police is your friend."
That's the motto,
That's what they say...
"They call him my friend."

Motto, dead as scrap,
Rot as egg, stink as corpse.
Words Impotent as prick,
Lame as sagging breasts,
Breasts sagging-
Like bag of salt!
"Such eye saw."
See lie, as black-burnt-
As coal.
Coal as black-burnt
As lie...
My lamentations...

"The Police is your friend."
Whoever said it,
Was either ignorant,
Or part of 'em-
Black-blue uniform grieve-
Inflicting circus...

Returning from-
His factory work 9:00 pm
That too mean angry-
Monday night...
Never knew the devil,
Had set him up with his son (the police).
First, He held him up,
Second, he took all his money,
Third, he took his fake Gucci watch too.
Punched him in the ribs.
And young man couldn't eat-
Nor breathe for days thereafter.
X-ray says fractured ribs.

He killed Mutiu
The bus conductor, 
All for shandy,
Under the bridge at Oshodí,
See this son of satan.

Caroline's pregnant belly,
He ripped opened with stray bullet... 
Christ!

Kola, O.A.U finalist,
He killed along sàgàmu road,
To dispossess boy of fees-
And shoes.
This son of Lucifer, tagged him: "ROBBER KILLED IN ACTION."
"ROADKILL", made a roadkill.
Still, "The Police is your friend."
Ótàfà sóké tó yídó bòrì
Èsu lààlu òbayè jè là n royé.

I reported an abuse of me
To him,
Said, 'cept I grease his palms
He wouldn't do the needful, 
Three hours after I helped myself 
He came,
Picked me up,
Beat me up,
And locked me up.
Damn! How he fxcked me up.
Still, tied me up,
As my assailant 
Now complainant did greased his-
Devil's palms.
Officer!
Please, let me out,
Said till I pay the bail.
After all, they say: "bail is free..."
Yet, "The Police is your friend."
Mtchweee...

He terrorizes all,
As the prince of hell... 
Dead drunk with all-
Taped AK47 in hand,
Ancient rusted cuffs,
And empty tear gas canister-
Dances on his waist
His uniforms,
All thread bare-
With patches in the bottom...
His toes peeping out of his fake shoes,
Terrorizing the civics
For no just course 
But for drunk course.
Somebody help, help, heelp!
Before this terror-
In black-blue-black uniforms,
Unjustly twist the future to rest.

“The police is your friend."
These bad eggs, In The Nigeria Police Force, 
Are no friends of mine!

Which country is that please

MrJames007:
I'm sure those bastards are here laughing at these reviews.

deavicky:
just small hunger make u lose your dream. Remember man shall not leave by bread alone.

callmevirus:
Here in SA you can walk into police station to ask for a space to pass the night if you don't have any place to sleep and you can flagged them down to take you to your destination.

ZombieSlayer1:

lolz...you neva jam. In Nigeria, there's no difference between policemen and armed robbers. A police patrol team arrested my friend one night, drove him to a bushy area and made him transfer all the funds in his account and told him he'll shoot him and label him an armed robber if he doesn't comply

RepoMan007:
Before you go your ways look at Russia oppressing Ukraine and most nations bordering it.
It is better a big country with a good structure is maintained. You think if we break a food merchant from PH can just wake up and travel to Kano or Kebbi to buy food without paying ridiculous taxes? Can he go there and just buy a piece of land to farm with?
Those doors will be shut both ways and though one has oil, everyone will become a weaker kingdom that risks being overrun.

aboyaji:


Nigeria needs complete overhauling. I'm yet to see the ivorian soldiers.

davillian:

Soldiers would only come out fully kitted
When there are issues bigger than the police to handle.
