NIGERIA POLICE SHOOT YOU FOR MONEY LIKE WHILE BLACK ABROAD

Nigerian Police are going further by arresting and putting innocent people in holding cells until they cough up money. It was some form of "tax" on transport workers who in turn raise fares on the passengers. It extended to almost any vehicle and now to moving on the street if Youths look exotic, well or fancifully dressed.

Police have become "tax" collectors in Nigeria for maintenance purposes. Some years ago, some of the junior officers were bold enough to table the reasons they collect "taxes" from the people while moving. Usually they concentrated their attention on motorists but on a "dry" day they may raid any Bus stop and load those waiting into their vehicles straight to the Police Station. This is where you bail yourself out or a relative has to bail you out. The junior officers sometimes working without salaries testified that they have to repair Government vehicles, buy their petrol and pass on money up to Oga at the top

Yeah, I may have missed politicians outrageous salaries, allowances and houses for governors in Abuja and their state capitals.

Other demands are more important but progressive salaries in the same market and exemplary Pay As You Earn matter.

Show us the source of this info.

Actually, it is a good idea. Falaye as a Presidential candidate suggested something like this.

If enough Youths make sensible use of money like this, it will generate enough commerce to take many people out of poverty.

If money circulates within the communities, the money creates wealth. This is what money is supposed to do. It is just a means of exchange or trade by batter.

However, some will spend it foolishly on travel agents, party, booze and you know what ..... boyfriends and girlfriends.

All the predictions come true.

They cannotn help it, just have to snatch credit from the top after refusing to join Southwest and Southsouth in Protests.

These people are something else. Chei, within days in our own korokoro eyes.

Amaka, oya celebration starts.

I also felt real bad by the way they pushed him out of the way.

They have a point that his presence would polarize the people and give way for Buhari Government to do what they have always wanted and will eventually do. Brutalized the crowd.

They did it to IPOB, OPC, MASSOB, Niger Delta any group. Not to mention massacres in the Odi Southsouth and Middle Belt.

All through these, one of the voices among the activists was Sowore. It is in his blood.

Which region in Nigeria has Presidency Epp.

This is the same Individualism that benefits a few.

This is why it is so easy to loot in Nigeria. You would think this is a philanthropist that made money from her private business.

Only God knows how much of your money was budgeted into her pocket compared to the crumb you are getting back.

After all, in the country of the blind one eye man is praised to heavens.

Burgerlomo:
God bless you Madam First lady.

Another Moroccan Revolution is brewing. This time it will consume the Army.

Bedwetters, Boko Haram dey call una.

Lagos Youths Community Center.

Tinubu time to give account is here.

Thank you Boyfrank,

The guy is a Paid Agent. One of the Personal Assistant.

This Revolution will consume you all.

boyfrank:
its like u are 15yrs old, Lagos have been a big city before Tinubu was born.

That is not S. L. Akintola. Get your fact right.

Written before SARS Protest

Police brutality has reached its peak worldwide but African Police know that the people they arrest, brutalize and kill unnecessarily look and belong to the same "race" like them. OBJ once gave the Police "shoot on sight" order in Lagos. Oppressors have been treating people without voice or power as less than human since the beginning of time.

The worst victims of Police abuse are Youths for fear of their political activism and to suppress their concerted efforts demanding the change of status quo promoted by the major political parties

Funny when men and women that cheat with two lovers in the same house are caught red handed swear it is the.work of the devil.

How did devil make you cheat on your wife or husband under the same roof with househelp, brother or sister inlaw?

Northeast and Northwest are coming slowly too.

SARS Protest has now spread to SouthEast and the North.

Even Governors and politicians are joining the wagon train.

Obasanjo, Ben Nwabueze, Danjuma and many others warned you of Revolution that will consume many.

Visit Buhari. So?

I am still waiting for someone to point to a single achievement or experience in the Private Sector that has enabled her to rescue one country. Mention one country.

Until Nigerians start destroying foreign luxurious goods conspicuously displayed to show them how stupid they are, Poverty will continue to grow.

Where does any reasonable person think the source of money and foreign cash
come from?

Abi dem they pay Naira for their luxury goods.

Religious Opium

When Africans talk about Christians and Muslims, they are so ingrained.

They never even think these are fishnets to capture their minds and brains. But then they think of both as civilization tickets to good Political Economy.

Ndi Igbo have come a long way. Before before, when dem see beautiful Igbo lady with Yoruba man, dem go turn red.

Now dem want toto control Yoruba man. For whia?

Those Igbo ladies are proud to be Yoruba lady.

Ask yourself who holds Nigeria or who are the Patriots.

The parasites that feed on the rest of the country or those doing everything to make sure it breaks. None of whom have a place to show where they have ever excelled.

stonemasonn:
Yoruba people are gradually losing their relevance thanks to the Lagos cartel. I still remember the days of NADECO and TELL magazine. Now no lever to tackle Buhari.

Abegi, one question.

Na which mode una dey with Boko Haram?

Dem wan kill Seun before he is born. Abi this call na abortion.

This is a young guy just coming up, you want him to jump into all kinds on controversial issues.

Seun can end this or end that. Please, there is time for everything. He will when he is strong enough.

Right now, he has many issues on how to keep his baby alive.

Do you even know what he is doing for conacana?

It may be true that some law enforcement officers may know the difference between criminals in African countries on who commit hard or paper crimes, they see you as Africans and in most cases Nigerians.

Check names as much as you want, these crimes are blemishes on all of us.

Some Nigerian youths cannot even remember or know when Nigerians were respected outside.

No need to celebrate or point fingers here. The Country need brain surgery. Greed, conspicuous spending, onstentacious and chest beating go beyond bad leaders.

Nigerians do the same in foreign countries with good leaders.

No be today e start.

Where are all the Nigerian sites that started before 2005? You wanna kill this one too.

Arcamax:
A lot of the responses to this thread actually depicts what I wrote about. While some have found a way to bring tribal tones to it, some have linked it to bad belle. It shows the quality of content being celebrated here.
Everybody is making attempts at what they feel is savagery but actually it is uncouth behaviour.
Very few grasp the crux of the matter and the advice about the need to enforce set rules.
No society can thrive without enforcement of rules. No business can stand the test of time without rules.
When Nairaland started in 2005, a lot of us were confident that Seun's Nairaland would be one of the new startups to be acquired by the big techs.
It made great strides at the time, then gradually, sectarian comments and threads were allowed and even encouraged. Folks like Bkbabe (I wonder what happened to that fellow) and co gradually started using ethnic slurs and that's how the degeneration started.
Some say that's what drives his traffic. Okay. Can Seun honestly answer in the affirmative that the quality of traffic he enjoys now is what he actually wants? A platform's ad revenue and quality of ads is only as good as the quality of traffic it generates. How many times have any of you seen ads from big companies here on NL?

While I understand the challenges of running a business, much more a media business, rules and enforcement are critical components.
I am not by any means telling Seun and his mods how to run his business, I'm asking the relevance of set rules if there's no intention of enforcing them.

Five Hundred African Currency To One Is Illogical By Gold Std

Finally, Africans are catching on. Better late than never.

Look at them. They will never start anything on their own. All they look for is readymades they can take over or bring down.

Go and preach to Twitter, Facebook etc or better still, kill them with your vicious virus.

I read some of this garbage and it is no different from the same poison you poured on another site you killed, your ultimate goal for NAIRALAND.

You have tried with every thing you can and have failed. What many people do not know is that some of this vicious people send viruses to kill a site that is doing well.

I do not know what Seun is doing but NAIRALAND has not crashed from all the missile viruses sent.

There are those of us that watch them complain and even started their own sites but never last. They rush back here and complain just to have their ways. They will do anything.

Start another site as you always do and let us see if they will survive or generate enough interest. There is no social media you guys do not go to preach hate. But you do not like those that take you on, head-on.

Tell Facebook, Google, Instagram, Tweeter, Tiktat and whatever to stop all the hate you preach and born into. But please leave NAIRALAND alone.

Go to blazes. Anofia.

Slowly but surely.

If Tinubu cannot save himself, how can he save his boy?

Indeed, Tinubu will throw him under the bus to save himself.

Poor Lagosians.

So, would you vote for a Minority as Presidential candidate or the door is closed on them

Food don redi, new world tori beta pass overseas.

Since you have no money to get there, they will take you there and work you as usual like labor camp until you pay them off.

This time, your government cannot send planes to bring you back and your relatives cannot buy you back.

Adios.

If the passage is wide and deep enough, it is share incompetence and lunacy not to have done it all these years.

Lagos Ports have been congested for too many years.

There was a time Col. Benjamin Adekunle was tasked on clearing Lagos Port. Many returning students lost their cars. They were bought by senators and other money bags.
