There, you identified the problem.
Put your hair normal, no more problem

What you’re telling me right now is that if I had my hair cut or loosened, I wouldn’t have been robbed? And the police would not behave violently towards me when I went to them for help?

With such a clueless bias about appearance, I am beginning to wonder the kind of thoughts that go through your mind and how much knowledge/information you massively need to evolve into a better thinking individual!

QuinQQ:
Voila!

Voila!

QuinQ:
It's just a question. A very simple and polite one at that:
Was your hair woven like that of a woman?

Been offline, Yes, My own hair was woven but not like a woman’s!

QuinQ:
But the question remains:
Is your hair woven like that of a woman?

And? That gives the police the effrontery to be uncivil and unprofessional in carrying out their duties?

Did you think this question through before posting it?

You are waiting for Nigeria police to teach you self defense so that you will use it against them whenever they want to arrest you 🤣😃😁😁😂

Now this is crazy for real though 🤣 🤣 🤣

I would like to report an incident that occurred this morning at approximately 9:00 AM at the Ikorodu Police Station.

Earlier, around 08:20 AM, I was robbed by two individuals at the BRT station in Ketu. The robbery was carried out through intimidation and force. Although I am physically capable of defending myself, I chose not to escalate the situation because I suspected they might have been carrying a concealed weapon. I prioritized my safety and allowed them to take what they wanted.

After arriving safely in Ikorodu, I decided to visit the police station — not only to report the robbery but also to inquire whether the Nigerian Police Force offers any form of combat or self-defense training for citizens. My intention was simply to seek information that could help me better protect myself in the future.

At the entrance of the station, I met five men. Two of them were wearing police vests and were eating; the other three were in plain clothes. I greeted them politely, and most responded except one officer who had his back turned to me.

I explained my robbery experience and asked about possible self-defense or training programs. One officer began explaining options such as constable training or the SPF. While I was listening and preparing to ask further questions, another officer who had been backing me suddenly turned around and aggressively shouted, “My friend, go join the Constable or the SPF or get out of here!”

I calmly responded, “But sir, I am asking for information.” Before I could say anything further, he faced me angrily and began physically pushing me out of the station entrance.

I asked whether it was wrong to report being robbed and seek help. Instead of responding professionally, he mocked my appearance, asking if I was a woman to have my hair woven, and went as far as saying that I was responsible for being robbed. I found these comments unnecessary and deeply unprofessional.

As I tried to maintain my balance while being pushed, other men outside the gate joined in pushing me out, asking if I knew who I was talking to. I was treated as though I was a criminal rather than a citizen seeking assistance.

In frustration, I said, “This is why Nigerian youth don’t like the police.” One of the officers replied, “We also don’t like you people.”

While I was standing outside in shock, the officer who had initially spoken to me later advised me to visit the Ikeja Headquarters and ask for the SOT office to continue from there.

The reason I am sharing this is not to attack the entire Nigerian Police Force but to document my experience. I have always tried to be a law-abiding citizen. Unfortunately, I have consistently experienced profiling and hostility, often because of my physique and appearance. Today’s incident reinforced my disappointment.

It is troubling to seek help from your own country’s police after being robbed, only to be treated with aggression and disrespect — especially over something as trivial as having braided hair.

I am sharing this in the hope that accountability and professionalism can improve, because citizens should not be discouraged from seeking help.

Even if someone help this guy, he wouldn’t do much! Just relax! He went to school for the Certificate, not to improve his mind!

The Holy Bible says “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it!”

Children are what we call a “blank canvass” wether they know they were adopted or not, is not the problem and it doesn’t not change the fact that they need to be guided, nurtured and loved!

I blame the orphanage for not doing a background check on prospective Adoptive parents before commencing adoption to check whether they qualify as good parents.


I can boldly say that the reason why all these children turn out bad was because their adoptive parents nurtured and trained them with the mentality of “so they wouldn’t say it was because they were adopted!” They spared the rod, accepted their every whims and bowed to every pressure!


Every family with an adoption I know personally don’t have this complain the OP posted because the families were Traditional Parenting oriented and their marriage was stable! You can’t expect even a biological child to grow up in a bad setup of a family and not turn out despicable ninety percent of the times!



TLDR; improper parenting breeds damaged children.

David no do well for this matter! Even if he may not be her father, he could just at least be nice to a little girl and put her mind to rest by just doing a single paternity test, like a free gift to her. I can’t imagine how bad the poor girl would feel, reading all these harsh insultive words from a man she was told is her father!

May God punish everyone forcing religion into or Black skin and African throat!

This scar alone speaks volume! Being a very active child, definitely must have played barefoot in dirty puddles or worn dirty socks and shoe that could have caused such fungal infection. Meet a dermatologist for medical advice.

I hate people who fabricate lies or peddle propaganda just to pass across their message.

And dem plenty gidi-gan for the internet.

We are not kindergarten children on Nairaland.

No be only “Less than an hour, Na less than 3 seconds “. Mr. Over Header!

It would do you good to understand that some people have got skills with the cutlass working on farmland that could make your entire day's farm work be done in one hour! Don't castigate people ignorantly just because you for your self haven't had such an experience.

Foreign religion(Islam and Christianity) has never truly helped us in Africa to be honest! In fact, Religion has never helped us at all! What we need is quality schools being funded and run by the government and or patriotic private individuals, one that wouldn't bore holes in our pockets and one that doesn't mimic and or totally copy western lifestyle.

EvilMerodack:
Nobody thinks he's Yoruba o. Like Oristesjafor, we all know they are from Delta

Always speak for yourself, if I hadn't heard it from at least five persons, I wouldn't say!

If what I read is true, then “You” mr. Man are a horrible person! You need Counselling.

Three mini-dangotes! 🤣🤣🤣

Will this woman shut up already? Didn't her parents teach her to keep quiet if she has nothing good to say about people?

And most people thought he was Yoruba. "Oritsefemi" is an Itsekiri name meaning "God Loves me."
His daughter's name "Orighomisan" means "My head is good" or "Goodhead" and it has a deeper meaning.

I'm Igbo, my mum is Itsekiri and my grandma is Ijaw! Born and bred in Benin, stays in Ibadan and work in Lagos, I don't do tribalism or favour it in anyway! Let love lead.

With the brain racking and thoughtful investigations going on in this thread, I’m proud to be a member of Nairaland!

Seriously every single one of you guys made sense but my thought on this issue is the fact that the lifestyle of Asians, especially Indians concerning safety in all ramifications cannot be banked on. I can only gamble on that of the Chinese but they naturally don’t follow rules!

Somebody might have carelessly played with the fuel switch of both engine. Most possibly one of the pilots. He might be facing a psychological issue that prompted it.

This incident should serves as a lesson for all and sundry in the aviation sector to go routinely go for psychological evaluation at least four times a year because the lives of people and their families are at stake!

Can someone talk some sense into old Bill Gate's head? Africa don't need his money and will never need his money! He should stop searching for what's not there in the first place!

"Ah! Mo de try láti dodge eh!"

If you take this girl serious, then you have pap for brains!

Last last, they'd get pregnant for the same guy!

For a talking drummer to win the Grammy twice (something people like Davido is still dreaming of winning) shows that you can get to wherever you want in life if you have the determination

Your post is very encouraging but The unnecessary bracketed sentence in your write up invalidates all atom of sense found thereof and begs that you shut the f**k up!

i got more than i bargain for when posting the topic, fuel is killing my pocket hence the need for the post.


i am making my move, enof of frequent visits to the filling station.


I ran a cyber cafe of 10 systems in an area where PHCN is non existent.

i spend N700 daily on fuel, i need to find a solution very fast,

It’s 2025🤣 I wish we can still complain about spending 700 naïra on fuel for a whole day.

Hello A22 on a 2024 device 12nm 2ghz quad core processor marketed on a device five years later? Can this thing even run candy crush without hanging?

Where were they when we use to pay N100 for 100kb on Nokia Java phones ?
