Esss: REALLY?!

So you mean that those radios really work!?!

Okay, what about the poice exchange?! Like whats the police emergency shortcode?! Like our 911 or 999?

I won't argue with the fact that the Police owns some beat-up phone exchange from the 1970s. God knows that maintenance isn't the Force's strong suit. But the fact that you happen to visit one police station doesn't mean that the Force does not have a fully functional radio network manned by officers from Signal dept. Those radios work. Hell, all the chase vehicles in our own fleet are equipped with either one or even two radios.

WRT to 999/911 numbers, I know the GSM service providers (especially Airtel and GLO) assigned toll-free lines for that. Airtel, through Force HQ, in particular had issued out special lines to officers. But right now the Force is building its own dedicated Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) with ZTE as its equipment vendor.

Esss: Honest to God, I dont know what all that technical shiit you said there means, but I can tell you for free that the only time that police radios work are when the Governor or the President is around.. Infact, I can almost swear that the few policemen lucky to get a radio use it to listen to Rhythm 93.7 FM...

Dude, there is no such thing as Police signals department.. Last time I was at State CID in Rivers State, I happened to stumble upon their telephone exchange room and the room was so dirty that it was a dumpsite for all the clutter in the station and the exchange equipment itself looked like a dead relic..

Dude, my family serve in the force. There is a Signals dept in the NPF, with each state having its own unit (code name: CONTROL). Those Motorola CB radios you see in patrol vehicles, or radio towers and VSAT dishes at state HQs and FHQ are not for show. They work VERY well. But like I said, there CB radio communications are not encrypted, and that's a big problem.

I can't say I'm suprised. Signals transmitted by CB radios used by the NPF are not encrypted. All you have to do is tune into the correct frequency, and you're in. You'll think the engineers at the Force's Signals dept will at least adapt techniques like Frequency Hopping or Direct Spread Spectrum. But nope.

And maybe in a few years (with more experience), you'll get to join the more secretive NIA.

emk4lif: pls guys i intend to apply nxt year, where is their PH office located and pls does anyone have any idea about their salary range

Old GRA, off Azikiwe road. But the building is non descriptive, xcept with its high walls and barbed wires.

One more thing, if you in it for the money/salary, then forget it. It's not just a job, but a calling to serve your nation.

To all those that wrote the exams/attended the interview, I pray you all make. Be rest assured that you will be joining the ranks of a small but special group of men and women tasked with the duty of ensuring the internal security of the Federal Republic. Congratulations in advance.

dayokanu: Whats wrong in America dictating the tune?

They have been dictating the tune for Japan and most of Western Europe for a while now and we can see where they are

Dictating what tune? Our nation's internal policies. No thank you.

Well, I guess I'm 70% Choleric and 30% phlegmatic.

DivideUs: the military which i was a part of accounts for bullets but the police do not and their training doesn't include having their guns on safety hence the accidental discharge (dat should be changed) which is why no military personnel wants to go on any task force with the police cos there are cases of accidental discharges especially when you hit a pot-hole. i have commanded a few task force myself and like my colleagues i can tell you i fear the police very well when alone especially on highways, most of them are drunk and trigger happy so avoid them at all cost.

On the contrary, all NPF officers and men of the rank-and-file issued with fire-arms (pistol or assault rifle) must account for every bullet discharged. The problem's that sometimes NPF officers tend to source for 'munition elsewhere. You see, police armourers are quite strict when issuing out ammo. For the current standard issue Type 56-2 assault rifle, a single magazine with 30 rounds (and in some case less) is issued; for the Beretta 92, Makarov', and Jericho pistols 2 mags max. More are issued in very rare occassions. That's why some policemen, particularly those likely to be in a fire-fight (MOPOL, SARS, X-squad, Fed. Highway Patrol) tend to source for bullets in the black market (no one wants to run out of bullets in a shoot-out with heavily armed robbers or militants). That's why it was strange when I read in the article that the officer in question had 3 mags on him.

But I have to admit one thing though. Unlike the military and DSS/SSS, some police officers lack simple trigger discipline.

These stupid trigger happy rank-and-file police men just dey fall my hand everytime. Why the hell will that slowpoke shoot a soldier? And in front of an army barrack?! Haba!! When will these damn fools learn?!

Oh my...this is NOT good. Whoever released that info may have signed the death warrants of a number of agents undercover.

Excellent warning from the Police. If those traitors fail to comply, please ensure that you bust enough Biafran. The DSS/SSS is equally happy to book a number of reservations for those fools in the underground cells at Yellow House.

homerac7: this part is what i hv always pointed out to people, against d brazen lies being peddled about by d fooolish 40 laptop group dt GEJ magically pulled off electric power increase within 2+ yrs of his tasteless, colourless and odourless rule. only a simpleton believes dt mega-projects as power plants and systems r planned, financed, constructed and fired at capacity under 3 yrs. na soup?

I suggest you read the text you quoted. It is one thing to initiate a number of NIPPprojects which later stagnated/died out due to corruption, and it's another to revive and complete the very same projects. I say kudos to GEJ for the later.

Prof. Barth Nnaji has proven to be a man of honour. Not many Nigerian politicians would've done what he did. Kudos to the prof. for taken such a noble step.

licensed2k: i think i'll sit on jonathan side of d fence ds tym. . .we've not even had it yet and some stupid governor lyk aregbesola are using them already to pursue their personal ambition. . .if u dare u cant imagine how his zombie operatives are harassin and beatin our youths black and blue on the streets. . .what he's doin is wrong and d way he chose to implement it is just too wrong. . .

Exactly. Another example is the banned Famou Tangbe group of Bayelsa. Their atrocities were so bad that the IG ordered its immediate dissolution.

DELTA BOY: It is a lie, governors cannot abuse it because the police are part of the people too. Gadafy tried to use libya army against d people but refused

Are you bloody serious? Ghadaffi controlled the Libyan for over 30 years. Please read a little more before posting.

@ poster, I'm with the President on this one. With the creation of state police units, nothing stops incumbent governors from using them as armed thugs/henchmen who'll happily do the biddings of their master.

chipmunkey: Is hypertension a killer desease?
@topic. More reason why people need to start considering #selfemployed.

Yes it's extremely dangerous. That's why it's called the silent killer.

Your Gf slapped you.....and you cried....oh my...son, please throw away your balls. You don't deserve them.

Sometimes I feel that Pastor Chris is given way more recognition than God in his church. The focus is always on him.

Well, with everyone going green, I think Environmental Engineering ought to be listed as one of the best careers in both UK and the US.

Yep, I do remove my wedding ring. For 2 reasons:

1) I'm not really a fan of rings. Or any other form of jewelry for men (chains, wrist bands, etc). Just give me my chronogram, and I'm fine.

2) safety reasons at work. I don't want to lose my finger while installing a battery bank.

[quote author=gator_666]What jets are they planning to use for this purpose? How many OPERATIONAL fighter jets/interceptors do they have at hand?[/quote]I'm not so sure. The ATR-48s are based in Benin, Mi-35 Attack and Bo-105 light utility helos are in PH. The Alpha attack jets are still at 99 Weapons Training school Kianji, and the new F-7 interceptors and L-39 attack aircrafts at Tactical Air command. Maybe our UAVs will be deployed up north, along with some Mi-35s for combat air support. they may equally co-ordinate patrols taken by the Custom's Dornier, although the aircraft may still be manned by pilots from the Custom's airwing.

This is the very reason I kicked against the Amnesty program. These fools were only concerned about their own pockets. The FG must end this madness.

Lordmike: YES, I LOVE AND CHERISH MY COUNTRY SO MUCH. until you travell out you will not value Nigeria. I currently leave outside Nigeria on a work assignment but I can not wait to return back to my country where there is happy people, good food and and easy life despite insecurity and Govt corruption and inefficiency. we Love Nigeria and only want the Govt to change their attitude

GBAM x 2!

Regardless of my country's flaws, I love her. And I am so proud of her.
