You are clueless about what "Stockholm syndrome" means. Picking up a common psychological term to describe an insignificant comment on a thread is the worst symptom of an overbloated ego.

The First Lawmakers: My Reflection on Home, Discipline, and Duty

Law and order do not begin at the police station or the courthouse; they begin at home, in the quiet corners where parents teach their children right from wrong. When this foundation cracks, society inherits the fallout.

As a police officer, I’ve witnessed this truth play out in heartbreaking ways—parents arrive at stations, not with pleas for justice, but with demands for us to parent for them. “I want you to detain my child, I want you to discipline him.” “Torture him,” as though pain alone could rewrite a life long gone astray.

A retired soldier once came into my office in Ago Iwoye, demanding we kill his son, a university student arrested for cultism. His rage was volcanic. Yet, the very next day, that same man returned, food in hand, asking after his son’s well-being. When I joked, “So you don’t want us to kill him again?” his eyes betrayed a truth every parent knows: anger is often the flipside of helpless love.

Years later, I met that young man again in Shagamu. He’d survived his schooling, married, and become a father himself. When I asked if he’d ever want his daughter near cultism, his “No!” was instant.

Another father once begged us to help keep his drug-addicted son for weeks. “Keep him here,” he insisted. We refused—not out of indifference, but because cells are not rehabilitation centres. If anything were to happen to the boy, or if he escaped, who would the father blame? The police. Yet discipline cannot be outsourced. It must be nurtured, patiently and persistently, at home.

This brings me to a delicate truth: many of us grew up in an era where parents and teachers wielded firmer hands. My own father believed in the “reset button” of a good beating—a method he swore straightened my stubbornness (and yes, I laugh about it now). Teachers, too, disciplined freely, with canes and stern words. But times have changed.

Today, some see corporal punishment as archaic, even abusive. I am not here to debate methods—what worked for one generation may not work for another. What matters is engagement.

The problem today isn’t a lack of discipline; it’s a lack of presence. Parents once corrected their children directly, even if harshly. Some have handed that duty to strangers—teachers, police, and social workers. But no institution can replace a parent’s guidance. A child raised without boundaries at home will test them elsewhere—in cults, drug dens, or crime.

To be clear: I am not discouraging parents from reporting wayward children. If your son steals or your daughter vanishes, come to us. We will help. But do not confuse reporting with surrendering. When you hand us your child and say, “Fix them,” you misunderstand our role. We enforce laws; we cannot replace love. We investigate crimes; we cannot teach values.

The retired soldier’s son changed not because we jailed him, but because his father chose to fight for him, not against him.

Parents, hear me: society’s fabric is woven in your living rooms, at your dinner tables, in the quiet moments when you choose patience over fury, presence over absence. The police cannot replace your voice. We cannot instil the values you withhold. Our cells are not classrooms; handcuffs are not teaching tools. When you outsource parenting to the state, you gamble with life—and with the peace of communities.

Yes, parenthood is hard. It is exhausting, thankless, and often terrifying. But it is also sacred. Your children watch how you love, how you forgive, and how you rise after failing. They notice when you prioritize work over conversations, screens over eye contact, and fear over understanding. The boy who joins a cult, and the girl who slips into addiction—they are not born rebels. They are shaped by unmet needs, unheard cries, and lessons left untaught.

To the father who sees his son slipping away: Stay. To the mother who feels out of her depth: Ask for help. To the parent who thinks it’s too late: It isn’t. Discipline without love breeds resentment, but love without discipline breeds entitlement. Find the balance.

My generation’s parents were far from perfect, but they owned their role as first teachers. They scolded, they punished, and they stayed. I urge present parents to do the same—not with the harshness of the past, but with the wisdom of your own heart. Meet your children where they are. Listen. Correct and love.

I write this not as a Commissioner of Police, but as a witness. I’ve seen the worst of humanity—and the best. I’ve watched reformed cultists become devoted fathers. I’ve seen shattered families rebuild. Let us embrace hope and commit to being the first lawmakers in our homes.

Business › Re: Binance Executive Gambaryan Departs Nigeria After Eight Months In Detention by dequir: 7:48am On Oct 25, 2024
LandMann:
You're evil personified.

You are amongst the evil minded individuals on this forum who kept supporting Tinubu for imprisoning someone they invited for discussion.

You claimed that the man should be held responsible for causing exchange rate to deteriorate.

Many people tried to educate you on how Tinubu removing subsidy, printing trillions of naira and floating exchange rate amidst high import dependence is what is fueling inflation and consequently the exchange rate depreciation of Naira.

You maintained a stone heart and deaf ears. You supported Tinubu's decision and maintained that the innocent employee of Binance should remain in jail.

After 8 months, Tinubu's propaganda that you helped to spread has fallen flat on its face and the innocent man has been allowed to go; after languishing in jail for 8 months.

My prayers for you is that you'll spend 8 months of your life in jail over something you have no hand in. That's the way you will understand what evil you partake in because you believe you have freedom of speech and association.

Only a completely evil mind would support Tinubu's wicked policies and actions, especially this one of jailing a foreigner in Nigeria, and you have shown that you're a die hard Tinubu fan.
Inferiority complex is still messing with your head. The US will strongly jail Nigerians no matter how highly placed if found of any wrong doing to their people or in their country, but an American who has committed money laundering in billions of dollars is being released with any conclusive trial just because he is American and his country is putting pressure on our Government to release (they claim on humanitarian grounds), the same offense they have been trying to extradite Alllen Onyema (Peace Airline) for. The is double standards and it's rubbishing us as a people. This is absolutely rubbish!!! The failure of the Nigerian Government to adequately prosecute this father-fucker is one of the many shame of the disgraceful Governments we have been having in this country. Why didn't the UK release our own Ekweremadu on humanitarian grounds? He is still languishing with his wife in their jail for committing no crime. This is another eternal disgrace to Nigeria but we are all pretending it's none of our business. But it becomes your business alone when you fall into these peoples' hands and they maltreat for being a third world citizen or having African descent.

For those that care to know or don't care to know... he was an Igbo man ... he did not play tribal politics..this is for that tribe that keeps on calling Igbos out. We can see who the real tribalists are in this country....

He announced SDP as winners of the election, despite Babangida telling him not to ... he was beaten black and blue by soldiers for defending democracy....defending an election a yoruba man won ... igbos voted massively for MKO .... but these yoruba people still decide to have so much hate for the igbos ... reason why I don't blame igbos that do same to them ... its obi that's their problem .. reason all other tribes should judge this matter and dine with a Long spoon while associating with them... u can all see what they did to Jonathan.... used propaganda to destroy his government, so they can get power ... despite a yoruba man ruling from 99 to 2007 ... while the one in asorock used tribal politics to get power ....very divisive and destructive tribe

Always remember that an Igbo man conducted the fairest and most free election in the history of this country ...but they choose not to give them presidency or even let them go ... one day all these will change for good
Nwosu beaten black and blue by soldiers?

In Igbo man's mind, everyone of their rich men is a billionaire, just because they built a mansion in their village.

I worked for donkey years in a reputable bank, having access to many accounts across many branches. The number of accounts, personal or companies, I saw billion balances on them are not that many. So where do the Igbo men saw the billionaires many of them are claiming littering their region?

ivandragon:
The same people that condemned price of rice at 8k are rolling out drums to celebrate and brag that it is now 60k, down from the 90k they themselves took it to.

Wonderful!!!

And for the clowns who like to ask how much it was pre-1999, check this out...

1. Rice, between 90-98, averaged 1000 for 50kg.
Minimum wage averaged N300.
So you needed 3+ months salary to buy 1 50kg rice.

2. Between 1999-2010, rice prices averaged 6k.
Minimum wage averaged 7k. So a month's salary would buy you a 50kg rice with a little change.

3. Between 2011 to 2014, 50kg rice averaged 8k.
Minimum wage was 18k.
So a month's salary could get you 2 50kg bags of rice and have change.

4. Between 2015-date, 50kg rice averages 70k.
Minimum wage is 30k.
So you need 2+ month's of salary to buy 1 50kg rice.

And some clowns say we should go back to pre-1999 prices where people could barely feed at the lower prices.
