Glimpsetv: Nigerian Police Officer Allegedly Falls into Pit While Pursuing a Biker
A trending video of a policeman who fell into a street gutter in Lagos has sparked widespread conversation online.
In the viral footage, the officer is seen at the bottom of the pit, struggling to climb out as bystanders gather around, peering inside to check on his condition. A ladder was later brought to help him out of the ditch.
However, the reaction from many social media users has raised questions — why are so many people seemingly amused or pleased by the incident? Could this reflect the public’s general sentiment toward the Nigerian police?
Why would any sane community allow well/gutter unprotected and so deep?! The people that constructed it should be arrested for putting people's lives at risk
The video has been widely shared across platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), with users flooding the comments section to express their thoughts and concerns.
Even if Obi becomes president, corruption and nepotism will have a field day....we know how he led the labour party into rancour. They have not been given the opportunity to run the country. But Obi's labour are are accusing eachother of corruption and nepotism. Anyone who believes Obi is the answer should not hold their breath
Many parts of the country have been taken over by murderers, ritualists, kidnappers, cultists, bandits. Yet the government has not come up with any tangible strategy. They act like it's normal. These leaders spend billions going on training and workshops abroad, to see how these countries are able to curb crimes and create an enabling society.
The insecurity is methodically eating it's way into many parts of the country. But it's either they are clueless or they comfort themselves with the layers of security they have. Simple things become rocket science in obodo Nigeria. Even smaller african countries with less technocracy and money are better organised and purposeful. Shame on you so-called leaders
It is most likely not money issue that led to his committing suicide (most policemen usually have disposable cash either from bribes, extortion and so). Most likely depression or a woman
James4358: GTB should be next. Stop stealing my funds in bits
In bits or in chunks? They GTB just charged me #13,533 for SMS alert charges, for the Feb 28 to march 31st period. I mean, that's half someone's monthly salary. Thieving bast**ds!
Looking4Trouble: Ask your brothers and sisters how much they pay for electricity in US and Europe
True...but with an average salary of 70k naira, these multiple taxation with no protection for those who are already hit hard by the increase in fuel price, devaluation of the naira and high cost of essential commodities, Tinubu is looking for big trouble. Don't forget, telecom companies want to hike the prices of data and calls by 100%
kettykin: Capitol Hill rioters are free and how does one campaigning for Biafra become a terrorist and one advocating for a 2 state Palestinian solution is not a terrorist.
So an individual who created his own private armed militia with full order to kill military and police officers, burn police stations is not a terrorist? So why do you call bokoharam terrorists? The modus operandi is quite similar
kettykin: This man will stay a little longer in jail from the look of things but that would be the beginning of high scale injustice in Nigeria as political figures who are unjustly imprisoned in future will have no one to fight for them.
Even trump and Biden granted clemency to a good number of prisoners but in Nigeria it is the other way round. The APC-led regime has more innocent people in jail than Even the Aguiyi Ironsi government that imprisoned coup plotters.
But he didn't free terrorists wishing America doom
Are the telecom companies not making profit? They are increasing tariff when you can hardly use your data or make calls successfully with the current tariff
ufotunang: Government and Tinubu address and tackle poverty, hunger, hardship, inflation, high costs of living,high rate of unemployment, rural villages, communities underdevelopment and insecurity kidnapping will reduce and stop gradually

TheBillyonaire: Are you honest? I want to assume that you nairalanders are either too removed from reality or just kids. How much is the price of a used car?
You hardly see a good used car at less than 15m naira. Are you saying a woman that will love you and give birth to your kids that are raised by their parents in this bad economy will be given out to you at cheap cos it is supposed to be free?
When you all raise, train and educate your little girls, you can give them to men who are not worth shit. If a man does not know the value of a woman, he can as well be gay.
This your excuse cannot stick. Did the groom's parents not spend millions for his upbringing too? Thank God not all cultures practice this extortion
Omodua: The President,as a matter of urgency, should consider releasing Nnamdi KANU in a major policy thrust,to ease tension in southeast.
He holds the key to peace in southeast. Many of the criminals are saying they're engaging in the crime to press for the release of their Leader.
No development without peace. Therefore, Tinubu should prioritize his release for sake of peace and national development.
After release of KANU, the president should still go further by listening to other agitators across the Land. Listening is the hallmark of good and credible leadership.
Tinubu can't afford to fail!😔
But it is the same KANU, your alleged peace maker, who ordered killings and burning of police stations. The current insecurity in the south east is kanu 's fault
