As the saying goes, 'The police is your friend' not in Africa may be in Europe.
Nowhere in the world is 100 per cent perfect but police in Africa is worse including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Togo, Benin Republic, Mali, Burkina Faso.
Africa police all have one thing in common — kidnapping, murder, theft, rape, torture, unlawful arrests, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion.
I would like to put this here as a Nigerian solo traveller that has visited 36 States of the most populous nation in Africa, Nigeria, also some African countries and European countries.
I love travelling more than anything. I like to share my genuine experiences about my travel to people in fact I derived joy from it.
So I created a travel blog in 2016 to share my love of travel, adventure, and help inspire others to travel.
Here's my experience with Africa and Europe police;
Benin Republic — I was harassed by the police for no reason.
Togo — police harassed me and took my phone for trying to snap a selfie in their border
Ghana — remove Nigeria on the list, Ghanaian police are the most corrupt set in Africa. I visited a friend in 2018, I was told that police arrest and extort Nigerians daily in the country with 100k to 200k bail charges so I started dressing like Ghanaians. To cut a long story short, my first week in the country I came out from the house to take some shot and learn about their culture, I met police at a roadblock in Kasoa so they arrested me and labelled me a fraudster even with my stamped international passport I transferred 50k from my Nigeria account to bail myself.
South Africa - I was treated like a rag
Mali and Burkina Faso - extortion in this too country is another day story na Nigerians body dem de get power.
Kenya - very heartless set of people
Egypt - This is the best place I have visited in Africa without police harassing me or treating me like trash.
Nigeria (My country) - I have been extorted many times in Nigeria. In Lagos, police took me to their station for putting on a red shoe (I hate red now) drove me to a cyber cafe at Isolo. Forced me to log on my Facebook, searched for cultists orientation related words. They took me to an ATM center and collected all the money in my account, God bless my cousin who sent me 3k for transport that day.
Europe: Europe remains the safest continent on earth. I have paid a visit to some of the European countries including Greece, Finland, Sweden, Bulgary. To be very honest, I have not experienced unlawful arrests, high-handedness, humiliation, unlawful detention, and extortion except the day I police asked for my document they checked it and told me 'thanks for your cooperation, we are very sorry'. I have not seen a policeman with an AK-47 since I came to Europe, no fighting, everywhere is so peaceful and calm.
I'm sorry, but my English is not very good. I am typing with Russian lang PC too.
I am talking about myself, I don't know about you. Share your experience with the police abroad with us.
police in Mozambique are respectful. no harrasment. no extortion.. no intimidation... just be on the right side of the law...
That something similar happened to Apostle Suleiman doesn't mean Igbos are not culpable of what is happening in the east. Ifeanyi Ubah was targeted because he was accused for using his Jet to repatriate Kanu and those behind it are Igbos, ESN UGM, period!!! MNK created something that went out of control, I believe he will be filled with regrets now. You cannot exonerate ipoB because ipoB is now an embodiment of different factions.
seriously you do not have sense. you guys have pointed accusing fingers at IPOB for quite a long time yet you and your useless government have been unable to pinpoint any exact evidence to prove this ... the desperation of this government the things they have done. its not over them to instigate violence in the east so they will gain public hatred of IPOB AND KANU. ...when will u stupid idiots give up blaming them since its not working
Tell us Nnewi history of centralized monarchy. Nnewi is original igbo and not part of Benin or Igala settlers in Anambra. The Orizus were British warrant chief for their own community. He is just one of the numerous igwes but recent attempt to shove him down to throat of other Nnewi clans as "Obi of Nnewi" is just very ridiculous
let me cure ur ignorance about Nnewi Kingship....
Nnewi is made of four clans.. otolo uruagu umudim and nnewichi..
Nnewi practice democracy with federating units.
each clan have an Obi under each clan we have different communities... like uruagu we have. akaboedoji, edoji, akaboukwu, akaboezem. etc. each of this clan have an OBI.….who serve as members of uruagu cabinet and decision making....
under the communities.. eg akaboedoji.. we have umunna...each umunna have OBI who with other Obi from other umunna serve as decision makers for the community.... each of this obiship are hereditary....
The Obi of Otolo , (otolo being the first son of Nnewi) as the Igwe of Nnewi wen it comes to external dealings and some cultural dealings...but his authority is limited to only Otolo.. he cannot direct or make law for Nnewi except other 3 OBI's agreed. he does not have jurisdiction over the other 3 clans....
this is perfect democracy.......has nothing to do with colonisers. or ur warrant chief rubbish
post=102907070: Anambra Catholic community has four Dioceses
1, Onitsha 2, Awka 3, Nnewi 4, Ekwlobia
Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha, Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity is the biggest and richest In December 1935, when Bishop Joseph Shanahan arrived onitsha from Ireland to bless the edifice the newly built Cathedral that shanahan saw was heart stopping in its splendor. The basilica which was then the cathedral stands on elevated piece of land which is part of the 20 hectares made available for Fr. Lutz and his team by Obi Anazonwu and chiefs of Onitsha on 6 January 1886.
Till 1930 what served as the central place of worship for the vicariate was the dual purpose building erected in 1914,the present holy Trinity primary school. The Holy Trinity cathedral was built between 1930 and 1935. In 1932, Bishop Shanahan handed over the mantle of leadership of the church to Bishop Charles Heerey on account of ill health especially the eyes. He retired and left for Ireland to allow the new Bishop a free hand. Shanahan was invited back for the jubilee and a major activity of the jubilee was the blessing of the cathedral.
The cathedral like many other houses in Onitsha was battered during the Nigerian civil war. The post war reconstruction happened to collide with the early period of the recommendations of the Vatican ll council especially regarding the liturgy. So the church in Onitsha while repairing the damages to the Holy Trinity cathedral reconstructed it to be in tune with the new liturgy.
In 1994, the Archbishop of Onitsha Albert kanenechukwu Obiefuna was transferred to Onitsha to take over the ailing Archbishop Stephen N. Ezeanya. Responding to the ever soaring number of worshipers who throng the Holy Trinity cathedral, Archbishop Obiefuna undertook to enlarge and expand accommodation in the cathedral. The conclusion of the modification was made to coincide with the centenary of the arrival of Bishop Shanahan in Onitsha. Thus on 5 December 2002 the work of the modification was brought to an end by the re-dedication of the reconstructed cathedral. The Holy Trinity cathedral has been a scene of many memorable occasions. Notable was the return and the reburial of the remains of Bishop Shanahan in 1956, Archbishop Heerey in 1967 and Archbishop Ezeanya in 1996 and Archbishop Obiefuna in 2011. An indisputably unique treasure in the cathedral is the relics of Blessed Michael Cyprian Iwene Tansi who was beatified by Pope John Paul ll in 1998.
Holy Trinity cathedral was elevated and promoted to a minor Basilica by Pope Benedict XVI on 28 May 2007 under the episcopacy of Archbishop Valerian Maduka Okeke. https://www.onitsha-archdiocese.org/
KingofAnambra: Dear Nigeria Muslims, I greet you all with all sincerity of heart and goodwill. I know you might have a busy schedule, but please take a little time to read this letter
Firstly, I'm an Igbo man from Nnewi, Anambra. I am a freeborn igbo born into a Catholic family. But as I grew older and wiser, later I denounced the catholic way to become a protestant Christian after I realized Catholicism was paganism in disguise because we were taught to worship Mary and now to her statue.
If you think I'm lying, just visit any Catholic parish on Sunday and during weekly prayers for a month and see things for yourself. Then judge the truth by yourself whether they have statues of Mary and whether they bow to Mary's statue or not. But that's even aside.
Now to the matter at hand.
Since Tinubu won the APC primaries, there has been an unprecedented attack on his personality and religion from social media bandits from the Southeast region is particular. My people have said all manner of unprintable things against a Muslim/Muslim ticket.
This extreme level of hatred and unjustified prejudice culminated into full blown political war against Tinubu's candidacy and presidential ambition when over the past weekend he eventually chose a Muslim as GO in the person of senator Shettima.
Tinubu haters from the East want you to never mind Shettima's pedigree, never mind his competence, never mind his political track record as 2 time Borno Governor and sitting senator, who was a known performer, ethno-religiously inclusive and a progressive minded person with nation building and developmental strides in Borno State and beyond. Shettima's only sin that has attracted so much bile, indignation and hatred to him is because he is Muslim. They hate him and scream across every channel that people should not vote for Tinubu/Shettima because they are both Muslims.
Well, dear Nigerian Muslims, do you know that since the democratic era began within Nigeria in 1999, only the Southwest and North have had governors from different religions. There have been Muslim governors and deputy governors in the West and North. This proves that these 2 regions are ethno-religiously tolerant.
But since 1999 till today, there has never been a Muslim governor in the entire Southeast. There has never even been a Muslim deputy governor in the entire Southeast. 5 states, think about it. Yet my tribe are the ones championing hatred against a Muslim/Muslim ticket but the Southeast has always run with Christian/Christian ticket from 1999 till today. Igbo Muslims are extremely discriminated against and treated like pariahs in the East, outcasts on their own lands that dare not aspire for any political position. And even if they did, they will never be supported.
Are these the kind of people you would take advice from when they say don't vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket? Rise up now and defend your Faith, get your PVCs and defend Islam by voting for Tinubu/Shettima for presidency in 2023 elections.
I'm Igbo and I know my tribe very well. If they had the political advantage in Nigeria the North has, there will be no religious freedom, they will oppress and sideline other religions that are not Catholic. This is what caused problem between Nnamdi Kanu and Asari Dokubo. Kanu wanted an exclusively Christian Biafra without Islam or Muslims. Asari said No, Muslims are part of Biafra. This was was caused their problem and made them to part ways.
Don't listen to those that say don't vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket when the same hypocrites have been voting for only Christian/Christian ticket in the East since 1999. Defend your religion and vote for Tinubu/Shettima.
JosephXavier: It was simply a tactics developed by Tinubu to know our reaction on his plan to present a Muslim- Muslim ticket
Peter Obi decided to play their style of politics too while PDP brought out a non performing governor whose only credibility is that he speaks Igbo fluently to contest alongside the desperate Atiku
Politics keeps changing
hate it or love it Ifeanyi1 Okowa is unapologetically Igbo
This one is full o. You think everyone works a 9-5? I have three thriving businesses ibo kid. Just say you’re a broke loud mouth and I disappointed your stupidity and go to sleep
guy you are seriously shameless.. you have the gut to eay you have 3 businesses yes your total account inflow is less than 300k... its like you operate agbo joint?
how dare you even call another broke when you are broke all the time and have never really seen money
No, they pay in Euros and Dollars and whatever the Russian bank does after that is their business, if they sleep better at night converting EU's Euros and Dollars payment into Rubbles, that's their problem.
It doesn't even matter where they open accounts, they are still paying in Euros and Dollars. PERIOD.
This is the Uk allowing payments till Next month when the ban kicks permanently.
These are temporary reprieves so I don't even see the big deal here, bottom line, UK and the EU are buying less Russian gas and crude, they are also aggressively developing other sources and suppliers, it's just a matter of tie before full energy embargo is slammed on Putin.
read the article again,, they are still seeking guarantee that thr payment will be effective once the payment has been made in Euro or Dollar... meanwhile Russia is yet to guarantee
E catch your eye because Nairaland is full of dullards who can't read, including whoever wrote this heading. EU WILL PAY IN DOLLARS AND EUROS not rubles. It is written plainly right there. Why can't you people read??!! Always deceived by misleading headings!!!
na u be the dullard...if after reading the article you didn't notice the EU opening account wit Russian bank and depositing.. thereby Russian bank making a kill by helping them source rubles.. this kills 2 birds for Russia.. protect there money from sanctions and increasing the demand for rubles which improves thr economy...
