Victor Olisa: First Black Commander Of London Police by Beaf: 8:12pm On May 28, 2012
[size=14pt]Nigerian appointed London police first black commander[/size]
Monday, 28 May 2012 15:39 NAN

Victor Olisa, a UK-based Nigerian and a Chief Superintendent with the London Metropolitan Police has been appointed as the first black commander for Bexley local council in London.

"Policing runs in the family and I have always wanted to be a police officer and ethnicity does not affect that" Olisa told the Europe Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in his reaction on the appointment in London.

Olisa, whose grandfather was a police officer in Nigeria, said his focus was on the job rather than on being the ``first black'' adding that his ethnicity never affected the way he carried out his duties.

``I consider myself first and foremost a police officer. If (being black) is an advantage, then brilliant; If it's a disadvantage, I will have to deal with that, I can't hide it.''

Olisa said a lot was being done to address racism within the force adding that it was the responsibility of the force to correct wrongs and not an institution for people with racist views.

``I am impeccably against anyone who uses racist language or behaves in a racist manner. This will not be allowed under my watch.

``I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity wherever they come from,'' Olisa said.

Olisa, 52, born in Warri, Delta, is one of the three chief superintendents from black minority ethnic background working for the Metropolitan Police.

He started his career in Surrey Police in 1982 before transferring to the City of London Police in 1990 as detective inspector in the Fraud Squad.

After a spell at the Home Office, he transferred to the Metropolitan police in 2006 as a superintendent in Southwark Council before his recent appointment.

@blacksta, when someone shows the rest of the world that Nigerians in London are not only cab drivers, dish washer, street cleaners, toilet attendants, we need to recognize it.

First of all, congrats to Victor Olisa. Another guy doing us proud.

blacksta: Mr double speak

Which one we go believe now

Stop being silly, bro.
I said people shouldn't travel abroad without a water tight plan, cos the streets are not paved in gold as some think. I went on to give solid statistics to show that many of our brothers and sisters develop mental health issues from the horrific levels of degradation and suffering they go through. Others end up in jail.

If not for your bad bele, the first thing you would have done was express your hapiness for Victor Olisa for making us proud. Will you find it in yourself to do that?

Per Naija tribal demagoguery, it is not important where he was born in. What is important is his ethnic heritage. Apparently, he is Igbo (Delta Igbo or Anambra Igbo), as in, Olisa Agbakoba family. This Igbo people sef. All those Yoruba criminals in the UK should begin to repent. Biafran police will whoop their a/rs/es soon

FSU are you saying he is Uhrobo. ? I dont think so.

The name of the root is Benin. Most likely around Agbor. Where is Olisa Agbakoba from?

You, olisa means God... chineke or Chukwu is God in Igbo


So explain to me how they look the same.

I told you people that most people from delta north, their root is benin and not igbo. it is close proximity to the river that is why some of them speak igbo. Look Nupe people speak Yoruba.. Most people from the middle belt speak hausa. Does that make the middle belt people hausa or nupe people Yoruba.

Gowon speak hausa, but he is not hausa. atiku speak hausa but he is not hausa.

The problem is most people dont know their root. I started reading up from the internet books on africa root.

I hate to correct you on this but Olisa is Igbo. What I dont know and dont care about is if hes Igbo or not. Some people can choose to have names from different groups, but saying Olisa is not Igbo is pure bull. Olisa means God, we use Orisa in Imo while Anambara uses Olisa so do the math bro.

If you say so, Tunde Bakare is from Ilorin which is North Central is not Yoruba. All in Kwara are not Yoruba including Tunde Idiagbon... does this make meaning ?
if not then go and get your head to rest and think properly
People like you call Late Nzeogwu and Igbo man (Which truely he was without shame) because he lead a coup, but you forget he was from Asaba. Thank God you could acknowlege Asaba man in Delta state is Igbo.

You're here fighting over his ethnicity or lack thereof, but correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure he never identified with Nigeria in his interview.
