CrimeRe: How Inspector Shot, Killed Complainant Over Money (photo) by openmine(m): 12:59pm On Jun 30, 2018
Frightening.....

Another case of accidental discharge....
That's how a young man lost his life in a cab....
A policeman entered the cab with a gun...and the output of the gun was pointed to his face...
The young man politely asked the policeman to point the output else where....The policeman trying to adjust the gun,released bullets that killed this poor guy instantly!
The policeman was beaten black and blue until his colleagues came to his rescue.....

I don't know about the police policy or rules but I think not all policemen should be with a gun....some don't even know how to operate or handle it esp when drunk and some of the guns are old and can shoot any how......

Personally,am very cautious with policemen that carry weapons...cos it can go out at any time!

People with secrets make the worst husbands. People with no self control too but some are married to wives that overlook and manage it because there’s always room for improvement with love. When you love your teaching your imparting your advice your not discouraging bad mouthing and abusive
We are saying the same thing but a slightly different manner...
You can't overlook...that's the impression am trying to correct!

Its dangerous to ignore....
No matter how you love some one,there is some thing that might make you stop loving the person....

Does this person believe that there is room for improvements?
Does the person also know you want the best for him hence you seek matured ways to guide and advise them?

You can't advise some one who has already decided to be that way.....

True,people hide their secrets but for how long?
The only person that hides his or her secrets is one who doesn't want to learn and grow or the person who feels he will be mocked or shamed when he reveals her flaws hence the purpose of advise or encouragement is defeated!

What I am saying is there’s a way you love someone that inspires them and if your not being inspired by your love then I don’t think they love you. I said adjust and overlook because you can’t be making lists about someone...when someone has a list on you too.

Your not a professor on their life you mention it yes but you don’t dwell and make the whole basis of your relationship about it Joseph was a carpenter not a billionaire but he still met mary and she still born Jesus for manger wey no be Sheraton

By today’s standards they won’t even be together but sometimes Gods will is bigger and better than man says ..that person may even marry a billionaire and build you a home where you can be hating 24/7 getting updates on their cleanliness

Everyone is valuable
My dear I understand your line of thought....and that you need to inspire people to love you based on overlooking their flaws...
However that ideology can become faulty in the long run esp when the person has decided to stay put since you condone their attitude!

Let me offer you an instance....
Mike Tyson a world known boxer married a comedy personality( cant really get her name)
Every time they had a disagreement Tyson punched her as if he was punching an opponent.....
She would run out and hide....or lock her self...
He would always beg and plead with her that she is the only one that understands him and he will change his habits....
(Tyson was an insecure and introverted man)
After enduring physical abuse in the hands of Tyson,she decided to quit the marriage....
If she had endured or overlooked Tyson's flaws by now,believe me she would have been six feets below....

As much as I think its laudable to accept people's flaws simply because no one is perfect,its also instructive and imperative that these people realize the effect of their attitude or habits towards others....we don't live for just ourselves but others too!

Do you know Robert Downey Jr. ?
The actor behind the popular iron man character on Hollywood..
Do you know that many years ago he had issues with drugs...
It was so shameful that Hollywood refused to call him for any filming....
It was so bad that people pleaded with him to get help or go into rehab..... he initially refused but when those around him started withdrawing due to his drug abuse,he just had to ask for help at the end....
Today,he is a normal guy and living right....
Had those around him overlooked his drug habits,would he seek ways to change or get help?

We make mistakes in life.....
It becomes a habit when it continues without correction..
In a classroom,there is a question and there is a correction....
We all need correction in our lives....
Let's correct others though not making it an every day narrative or using insults or harsh tones but making them understand that its for their own good....

....and of course,there is no harm in others that also point out ur own deficiencies or flaws.....we live to correct each other,and inspire each other!
No one is free from flaws...but it will be wrong to use one's flaws as justification to continue with their own flaw....

Life is about self-improvement and learning!

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

Most people are single by choice they would rather be with that person who came in and didn't point out your flaws for the world to see but instead showed you the world with flaws. I can't change an abuser or someone who's ungrateful no matter how much you love them you will never quite measure to their ideas of what love should but what I can do is change my whole outlook and life and not let it deter me from seeking that like mind who places values over money.
In other words,are you either going to overlook the person's flaws and stick with them or tell the person about the implications of their flaws to people around them and forget the consequences.....?

U really haven't hit the nail on the head....

Which do you feel would help the person to grow or improve?

What I know is there is no perfect person in this world and you can’t judge a person by their present state. Humans nowadays will suck the love out of you if you have no backbone guiding you like faith. God can change a life around in a second that even their enemies will be astonished it happened before their eyes, you see when you focus on molding the flesh instead of building spirit you will fight against the strong wind ....everyone is clay after all molded and shaped into who they should be by those that love them not with hatred but with love not castigating but encouraging.

Someone who is dirty can still be clean it’s how you guide them that speaks of your love. I’ll take someone dirty over someone spiteful anyday
But you said it should be "overlooked".....

Overlook:
bypass , disregard , FORGET , ignore , neglect, overpass , pass over

Now based on your recent submissions,its obvious that you can't ignore such person's weakness.....right?

Now am not in any way trying to say you should hate those with flaws....rather am saying you should be honest enough to tell them about their flaws though with patience and understanding......

However,what if this person whom you love is unwilling to change and believes that's who they are and you can't change them....will you continue to be with such person?

There are people in this life who admit their flaws but refuse to change because they believe they don't need to....

I agree that God can do some awesome things in the life of a person but how long will you wait for the person to change when he or she thinks he doesn't need to change?

No one is perfect but I believe if one knows about the implications of their flaws and how it affects those around them,then they won't need some one to tell them about what needs to be done about their deficiencies....

if I was an abusive person and I knew it was affecting me and people around me,I won't need to wait for some one to tell me before I change or put such flaws under control...

When you love someone in all honesty you overlook their flaws and start focusing on their strengths. That is my point, it’s like seeing a mirror and seeing a reflection of yourself whatever you see that you don’t like you can change it. Everything else just nitpicking after all the same people are able to function and be loved by others apart from you right with less judgment.

Love is not desperate it’s brave cause it’s a cold world out there!
Pardon me miss but I have a little issue with ur analogy....

U said When you love some one,you "over look" their flaws and focus on their strengths... right?

I agree with the focus on their strengths but don't you think the person's flaws can also affect you?

I thought loving some one means you are honest enough to tell that person the truth about the implications of their flaws rather than telling them its okay to have them...

In other words, we should over look or tolerate a Casanova or a cheat.....right?

We should also overlook a reckless or loose tongue.... abi?

We should also condone an alcoholic person simply because we think there is a magical wand that can transform them?

What about an abusive person or a brutal person or dirty person.....?

Is love not about being truthful to the person you love by pointing to them about the implications of their flaws?

As much as I know that no human is perfect,I do believe that there is room for improvements instead of massaging one's flaws......

What happened yesterday is clearly out of sheer recklessness and irresponsibility on the part of those who died....

Are you aware that it took a minute for the tank to explode which afforded those on the road enough time to escape?

Do you know that during that time,there were people inside deir cars with their phones recording a fallen tank instead of running for their dear lives?

Do you know that there was a man who refused to exit his golf car even when some one begged him to leave the car and scamper?

All these people are not just dead but roasted not because of any spirituality,but because they failed to comprehend a very simple rule: SAFETY FIRST!

Stop this nonsense. That is why we keep having this accident and disaster that should never happen in the first place if safety standards are in place.

Do you want to inform us that the innocent victims serve the devil? This attitude must stop from Nigerians and we must begin to hold Government accountable for the work they are suppose to do.
Thumbs up bro....
Our real problem is the way most people spiritualize the whole stuff as if those who died did not go to church on Sunday or attended midweek service on Wednesday or were not believers.....

Bro what you are saying and claiming is so wrong and should not be practiced as a believer!

So what happened to the others that lost their lives in this horrible and sadly reoccurring incident?

Where there no believers out there who died?

So are you implying God selected people for protection while he left others to burn and die?

As a believer,you should be sober and disturbed about the human lives that have been wasted in this inferno...

Instead of trying to proffer solutions to what happened which can happen to any one,you are here thanking God for saving your own life and that of your family....With all due respect,that's selfish and insensitive!

I have discovered that most parents no longer check up on what their children are doing....
Where they are...
What they are watching and who they are communicating or associating with...

There is a woman who lives thereby,her 5 year old child was knocked down by a keke...thank God the keke was not on top speed....that would have been another tragic moment!

The job or responsibility of parenthood is a very tasking one and an important aspect in the growth of any child....

Parents must endeavour to watch over their kids as if their lives depend on it...

Always keep an eye on where or who the kids are playing or communicating with....and its not a bad idea to place a playground limit for them...

Kids esp female during their tender are very vulnerable and must be protected from intruders!
