NOW I KNOW YOU ARE A USELESS CP LIKE THE OTHERS BEFORE YOU LIKE THEY DINT ALSO DISMANTLE ROAD BLOCKS USELESS FELLOW SAYING IT IS DIFFRENT FROM IMPLEMENTED BY YOUR OFFICERS YOU SAY THIS ONLY TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE MASSES. THE REAL PROBLEM OF NIGERIA ARE ITS PEOPLE THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FORGET AND EASY TO BE MANIPULATED

NigeriaIsZOO:
Rubbish, this is what you can say after reading this shocking revelation? In your self hating attitude, you have blamed Southerners as the enemies causing it instead of blaming the real enemies who treat others as slave. In most Southern states, the commissioners of police are from the North, same with army and other government agencies.

BiafIntel:
The fear of Unknown Gunmennnnnn!!!! Lol!!!!!!!

ToneroInc:
Going through this write up, my body went cold. I’ve been to 2O states out of the 36 states of Nigeria; so I have a clear mental picture of what you’re painting bro.

This write up will have more effect as a topic; not a response to a topic. So, I suggest you edit and repost as a topic.

I spent 6 months in Maiduguri. That place is the safest place in Nigeria, as long as you don’t go near the villages and LGs. In Maiduguri no roadblocks/checkpoints, no FRSC, no VIO, the soldiers there are the most friendly, the courts are for affidavit and change of names (names correction). The civil servants rarely go to work, internet fraudsters could live there for years without fear of harassment... the list goes on and on.


Bro, just create a topic for this obvious inequality; maybe it will get to right place at the right time and provide the desired changes.

Nnannapat:
Yes, I don't think this country can work with that mindset. That is why most South Easterners wants Biafra, this country's future looks gloomy if nothing will be be done to address all these abnormalities.

BiafIntel:
Go and do thanksgiven for Unknown Gunmen. IPOB continue to save all you fools.

ojesymsym:
Victim's mentality comes from people who always complain rather than look themselves in the mirror.
The guy exposed his observation and my question is simple, do you think the police men in the south mounting those road blocks are from the North??

hiqlazundies:
I read every part of what DUBLINGREENB wrote and it was nothing but the absolute truth....in fact I have also done official stuffs here(North) without having to tip anyone a penny, to my utmost surprise public office holders here will easily direct you and correct any mistakes whatsoever without sending you outta their offices like the case of the SOUTHERN nigeria. I also have witnessed a case of alleged suspect being rejected(not detained) simply because the complainant had naked the suspect (this will never happen in my precious South), I have seen J5 carrying over 10 persons in its already luggage filled roof and never stopped by ROAD SAFETY officials.....I could remember the last place I saw Roadblock was in somewhere close to Abuja while I was relocating to the north....my conclusion is that the level of greed/inhumane in southern part is far higher than that of the North that is why any public office holder down there will use everything within their reach to extort from masses. If I may ask, are the animals(police) mounting roadblocks mostly not from the south? This should not be seen as a case of inequality but a case of inhumanity among the southern people.

NigeriaIsZOO:
While coward mentality and timid mentality will make victims to blame themselves instead of confronting a bully.

So you don't know that those policemen and soldiers you see mounting roadblocks were sent by their bosses who they make returns to? Or you think they just go on their own to do it? If the IG of police wants it to stop in Southern Nigeria, he will simply give an order to all the commissioners of police, the commissioner's of police will in turn order the DPO's to ensure compliance in their various domains. But they know it's a multi billion naira racket and the proceeds go all the way to the top.

El Rufai's son publicly stated that why would they be forced to obtain driving license and that's the mentality the majority of Northerners has. They believe they own Nigeria and shouldn't be subjected to same rules with Southerners.

I gave you other examples with border closure, appointment of Northerners in almost all the stratigic positions etc.

Again, why would the army kill, maim and destroy
properties of indigeness of any community they were attacked in the South or middle belt but they don't do likewise in the North?

Continue decieving yourself.

Oga CP dismantle ALL road blocks in Southern Nigeria

Meanwhile please If you are a police, army, civil defence please REPLY ME, If possible create a fake account and reply this message I want to ask something really important, especially if you have worked in Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria do they tell you guys to act differently? Do you have separate Orientation for the different regions?

Because


In all my years of living in the north and even middle belt regions from Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, Abuja etc I have never met road blocks even inter state road blocks the way we have road blocks in the south, I promise you, you won't even know when you have left Abuja and you are in Nassarawa or Kaduna except you see a signboard, you don't know when you have left Jigawa and entered Kano but in the south you know you are crossing to another TOWN not STATE oh when you see about 3 check points on a one meter road with tires and a bench and that locally made burner lantern stuff made of milk tin used to light the check point. Northerners who have lived all their lives in the north won't understand all what I just described.

In the midst of the Corona craze you could still drive and cross borders in Northern Nigeria, but in the south another story.

And it surprises me because due to boko haram, herds men, bandits, insurgency, etc one would expect the north to have the most road blocks more army and police presence.

But no, South south and south east have the most, the state with the Most is Rivers state, if you are entering rivers from that Oyigbo or omoku or eleme area you will pass over 14 road blocks and if you are a commercial motorists you will have to settle all of them, I'd you are riding a motorcycle you will come down your passenger will come down and you will push your bike through the check point while your passengers walk behind you, but in Northern Nigeria this does not happen, I remember driving through large states like Kano, (Kano is bigger than almost all of not all of the south east states) yet not one stop and search or police check point and there has been attacks in Kano In 2019 I remember boko attacked Kano and killed atleast 25 in 2020 there were also several attacks but the last militancy attack in South south Nigeria happened in the 2009's yet we have these measures till today.

Back to my journey from Jigawa, gumel, ringim, to Kano bebeji, to Zaria, to Abuja This journey is longer than driving through the south south and south east from Warri to Enugu to port harcourt to uyo yet I didn't see ONE police Checkpoint or one stop and search, so Simple things like these are why certain sections of the country feel attacked, feel cheated out of this Alleged One Nigeria, we are not all treated equally at all. It is not even as if Rivers state shares border with any country

Then there are other little things like plate numbers, tinted glass permit, fire extinguisher etc in the south Lagos, Port Harcourt etc if you don't have these prepare to settle, in the north it is very normal for vehicles especially motor cycles to not have plate numbers to not be registered at all, it is common to see hundreds of tinted cars and not even one has tinted permit, Yet our one Nigeria police, road safety, civil defence, army etc all operate different laws in Northern Nigeria than they operate in Southern Nigeria

While I was in Jigawa and Ogun especially Jigawa during market days the borders are flung open herdsmen, sheep sellers etc from Niger enter freely without stop and search and all those B.s you see when entring PH from ABA

And I ask myself is it that PH and Aba border is more insecure, posses more treat to Nigeria than Niger and Nigeria border in Jigawa or Nigeria and Benin border in Ogun and elsewhere. I'm puzzled. Someone explain to me why this is so. I wanted to film the checkpoints but you know the kind of country we are in. Police brutality and army brutality is real.

I also noticed that when I fly at the northern airports I greet armed military men wearing Black and black dressed like a normal young boy and they responded very well they even bowed down and where hailing me, I was shocked this has happened more than 3 occasions.
But in the south, immediately I entered pH airport despite the plate number I was driving, despite wearing Native wear, despite telling them who I am these SARS and police were still eager to give me problems to make sure I settle them by force, I had to talk to their boss and even put some high profile call through. It's the same for army, road safety etc. in the south ARMY will NEVER smile with you, joke with you etc except you know them personally so I'm wondering is it the same orientation.

Please feel free to reply, No judgement nothing I just want to know.

Nepa too during my stay in Abuja I called Nepa officials and they came immediately on several occasions, the first time I didn't have cash on me to settle them for a work they were to do for me, so they said no p call us in the evening or anytime you get the money and we will come I said no, because I didn't believe they would come back (that's how they are in the south) so do it now I'll transfer to you and you can withdraw whenever or use cash from your hand, or fix it and come tomorrow I'll pay you, I'm not running this is my house, they laughed and said oga no worry when you call us for evening we go come dear friends I went to ATM got the cash came back around 7 or 8 called these guys they came fixed it for me collected cash. This would NEVER HAPPEN IN My section of the south.

I have many many other experiences like drugs for example young, I mean very young boys, pre teen boys buy and smoke drugs not shisha, not cigar or cigarettes, I mean Igbo, loud, S.K, and hard drugs, narcos etc, in broad day light, shops sell these in plates in the open, they sell it the way you'd sell grounded/blended Cray fish, dry pepper etc in the south, when I saw these at first I was scared I didn't know why exactly, but after a while, after seeing police officer buying and even seeing some boys smoke on the road as they went about their daily activities I became used to it, so help explain to me WHY THIS IS SO?

I have more but this is already too long.

I believe if we can understand why, it will help us know why the north does not seem to be on the same page with the south on little things such as #endsars and other protests because these are not things that affect them, it's almost as if we are two different countries, for me atleast it felt that way the culture shock was too much.

No alcohol but you can smoke whatever whenever

No touching or handshakes with women but you can marry 4

I can go on and on but I'll stop here and hope someone answers me

Otasikwe:
Please can someone summarise dis to me because am lose

COdeGenesis:
Road block they help reduce robbery o. Do these guys use data to make informed decisions or they just wake up n take decisions based on their inner guts. Road blocks has its disadvantage but before you dismantle it you should do an analysis on CRIME RATES based when there were no road blocks to when there were road blocks using historical logs

MemoriesAndMe:
Don't forget the CP says they should rather be in mobile units, implying they are not barred from the roads. They can be in their patrol vehicles
conducting surveillance on the highway, which is more effective than blocking everyone from moving in the name of stopping crime.

Thats what all developed countries do. In the US, u can't travel through all 50 states by road without a single roadblock. That doesn't mean the police aren't on the roads, they are at strategic places and communicate in case there is a crime. They simply don't stop everyone from moving and start extorting innocent people. That to me is a sane way of policing.
