Terrorists come with motorbikes and these people will leave their bullet proof armored vehicles and run. E be like someone come to fight you with pocket knife and you leave your AK47 for the person and run.

I’m not describing cowardice or incompetence here, it’s more like “come and take it as we agreed”.

Nobody go ever fit settle that everlasting beef between the Nigerian thugs in Green and the ones in black...!

One of them can't defend the nation from terrorists and bandits... The other can't fight crime.

All they know how to do is show muscle and shoot at one another over the slightest issue.

...That's if they are not shooting at unarmed civilians.

I can smell jealous here.

Army: Where are you guys coming from with this so numbers.

Police ; Are you blind or deaf that Anambra just had election to day. We are from Anambra of course.

Army: Why must you talk to me in that manner?

Police: Oga how did you want us to talk to you? Are you our commanding officer? We hold you no explanation of our duties in Anambra.

Police: Oga comot for road with your road block make we pass jare with your stupid questions.

Army; Na me you dey follow talk like that? Abi God want punish una?

Army for checking point no get joy, because dey know that they are just returning from an election. And dey know say pepper don red for their pocket as usual. We all know Nigeria police nah. Na that vest make the army test the fire for their Body.

Both of them na government. Case close.
