He told them he's recording

GloriousGbola:
Illiterate unexposed policemen in one bush have likely never heard of meta glasses

They likely thought he was bluffing

The number one rule is don't get caught

Now they know and will be forcing everyone they meet to off glasses

Spy360:
You are aware that Uzodimma is APC and that party is built on a foundation of lies, propaganda and hypocrisy which are the hallmarks of corruption.

However, my problem is not five governors having a meeting and one choosing to lie.

My problem is how Tinubu is destroying our nation with his divisive policies, lies, criminality, fake agencies, and other forms of corruption

He even faked a letter from Trump.

How low can he go?

The man you're supporting is a fake human being with a fake identity.

You're supporting the worst thing that can happen to Nigeria as far as leadership is concerned.

the guy was not wise sha

once you are outside the major cities on the roads, especially at night, the police can literally kill you

who goes around telling armed men in the bush i am coming from the uk

rule 1 carry photocopies of your papers. blown up ones and give them those. police, frsc dem always want to hold onto your original.
rule 2 on any long journey just stash n200 in your glove compartment.
it may be hard but try to smile at them.
dragging only escalates the time wasting or worse
you can be in the right, but they are the thugs with guns in the middle of nowhere who can sicc kidnappers onto you after the checkpoint

Which of the 5 governor is supporting Obi

Lets start frkm his home state which he governed for 8yrs

BlueRayDick:
He gave them original of his drivers license because he's convinced he didn't commit any crime na.

Let's not blame the victim for doing the normal thing by presenting originals of his driving license/vehicle particulars.

It's the policemen that are useless. They should've let him go the moment he told them he didn't have any money to give them. They just messed their lives up and will most likely be demoted or dismissed from the police force with their hope of pension gone. Good for them tho!

GloriousGbola:
All i will tell you is this
go and scan all your vehicle documents and reprint in colour. do an a4 blow up of yoru drivers license

all these guys standard operating procedure is to hold on to one of your originals. without that you an literally get into your car and drive off.

this is not about victim blaming - this is about survival strategies for nigerian roads. my default response for police is to be confrontational. but my partner - is the opposite. we are on a long journey, he stacked up n200 notes, smiled and laughed with the police, and that was that. an unbroken journey. it is not right, but n500 or 1k up front would have resolved this.

these people can kill you and it will end there

Bimmarlykay:
Some folks Mentor,Idol,role models.

BlueRayDick:
You were actually blaming the victim; it you said the guy was not wise simply for showing his original documents.

I have photocopy of my documents, but I won't say a person who decides to show his originals to law enforcement agents is unwise.

It's the policemen who are unreasonable and foolish to have attempt to force money out of his pocket even when they already established his documents are intact and he didn't commit any traffic offense.

Reasonable policemen will beg for money and when they are denied, they let you go. I meet them often on the road when driving. When I have and feel like giving I will give them, but when I say I don't they would let me go since they can't pin any offence on me.

The guy already told them they are on camera, so they know harming him may likely come back to haunt them. The policemen were just foolish and have successfully messed themselves up.

The fact that the policemen are also tribal bigot will not help them at all.

I am sure a few of those governors will support Obi especially MBA and Otti.

However, Obi does not need the support of five people but the support of majority of Nigerians.

The idea of APC miscreants that having the support of Governors is embedded in a system of corruption and intention to rig elections.

A man took a major gambling company to court over $2.3 million jackpot and won the lot, plus extra for his troubles.


Andrew Green was a 54 year old from a small village in Lincolnshire England.

Just after midnight he opened the Betfred app and started playing a blackjack game called Frankie Dettori's Magic Seven.


He played for five and a half hours straight. When he finally stopped the screen showed £1,722,500.24 ($2.3 million) in winnings.
He called Betfred. They congratulated him. Told him to call back after 9:30am to arrange collection.


He went out that night and celebrated with his family, spending £2,500 ($3,600) on dinner. He was already a millionaire in his head.


Monday morning he called back. They said the win was so large it needed to be sent to the game provider Playtech for verification. Standard procedure they said.

Wednesday Betfred called again. Playtech had found a software glitch. The win was void and he would not be paid.Their offer was £60,000 ($82,000) but on one condition.He had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising never to discuss what had happened.He said no.


He sued and the case went to the High Court in London.The judge ruled Betfred's terms and conditions were not transparent and not fair. They could not rely on them to withhold payment.


Three years after he won the money the court ordered Betfred to pay the full £1.7 MILLION ($2.3 million) pus interest.

- Standing outside the High Court he said "The last three years have felt like hell on earth. I think Betfred have treated me abysmally."Betfred apologised for the delay.

They never explained how many other players hit the same glitch and quietly accepted the counter offer.

GloriousGbola:
He was not wise and I will repeat it

He could have been killed and even if they were on video it would not have brought him baxk

I hope you will not be telling uniformed men you meet while travelling that you work in an oil company or you just came from uk

We have been taking on this platform about how dangerous it is travelling by road. Your goal if you don't have escort and even if you do is to make your trip as quick as possible while being as incognito as possible

In a country with security issues and police in cahoots with kidnappers you want your trip to be as uneventful as possible

Winning an argument is not worth the potential risk to your life.

You also need to understand police you will meet while traveling are a whole different breed from police in the city. It is just you and them. No crowd to gather to video, no one you can call at short notice for backup. Just some of the rawest Nigerian police there are

BlueRayDick:
You are just going back and forth mixing issues up.

Someone gave law enforcement agents originals of his vehicle documents and drivers license (which is the ideal thing to do), you say he's not wise for showing them the original. Haba!

If he had shown them photocopies and they claim it may be forged, I'm sure we will see people asking why didn't he give them originals if he has nothing to hide?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving them original documents that prove he owns the car and has a valid drivers license. It's victim blaming for you to fault him for doing the right thing. Mind you, the guy didn't tell them about recording until theg started behaving unruly and threatening the guy's partner

For the umpteenth time, it's the policemen who are unreasonable to have held on to the document despite not having any crime to hold against him. Now that they've been arrested and will most likely be demoted/dismissed, they will be regretting their actions.

GloriousGbola:
it is a standard strategy of any enforcement agent to try to hold on to an original
one time an frsc guy stopped me and after a lot of back and forth i brought out my original vehicle license and he immediately grabbed it
once he had it in his hand it was now a case of follow us to our office and no longer gragra

YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE ARGUMENT YOU WANT ABOUT RIGHT OR WRONG

just do not hand them your original papers - or if you are ready to have your time wasted - go ahead .

izzou:
Anambra State road management agency started a campaign against One way

All they did was ask the public to video and record any vehicle passing One way. If you send in any video, they will give you 20k

Then they will find the vehicle and impound it

Omoh! Na so people dey record and send, and no dem dey impound.


The penalty is Impounding your vehicle for 3 months and a fine

BlueRayDick:
They only hold to your originals when they have aotheing against you like a real offence which you obviously can't deny.

A road safety will hold on to your license when they see u didn't use Ur seat belt, you don't have items like extra Tyre, C-caution, etc and they will return the license once you either bribe them or go pay the official fine to get Ur license back.

Police do the same once they noticed you have committed an offence and wait for you to bribe them to get it back.

If you did not commit an offence, tbey will give u Ur license once they check it and didn't find any exhibit in Ur car. If they wish to beg u for money, it is Ur prerogative to decide if u want to give or not.....

You are making it seem like giving them Ur license originals is something that should be frown at. It's not. Those particular police are fooolish to have taken things too far and they have themselves to blame for the outcome of their unsuccessful shake down.

I figure out you are using hyper os ui which is from either redmi,poco or xiaomi
Note 9 is at the end of life na bros that's is android 13 or so
Move to xiaomi to enjoy flapship performance when you want to change

TrebleChamp:
Why not get the Nothing Phone 4a pro, it has a clean user interface and the nothing OS is very smooth too. If you want to stay Redmi then get the Redmi note 15 pro plus 5G but ensure you buy the Global Version and not Global ROM(Chinese Version).

One of the biggest failures of our education system is that we have convinced society that intelligence is more important than character.

I have never seen a child sent to prison because he scored F9 in Mathematics or dragged to court for failing English Language.

But I have seen children grow into adults who ended up in prison because of bad behaviour.
Because they lacked discipline.
Because they could not control anger.
Because they had no empathy.
Because greed consumed them.
Because nobody truly developed their character.

Yet, every day, we terrorize children over grades as if exam scores are the final measurement of human success.

A child comes home with low marks and the entire house becomes tense.
Parents panic.
Teachers threaten.
Society mocks.

But when that same child lies, bullies others, cheats, lacks compassion, disrespects people, or shows signs of dangerous behaviour, many people ignore it because “at least he is doing well academically.”

That is the tragedy.
Education was never supposed to be only about IQ.

True education has always stood on three pillars:
Character.
Discipline.
Learning.

And somehow, we abandoned the first two and became obsessed with only the last one.

We are producing brilliant minds with broken values.
People who can solve equations but cannot manage emotions.
People who can build apps but cannot build integrity.
People with degrees but without conscience.
And then we act surprised when corruption destroys a nation.

Corruption is not an academic failure.
It is a character failure.

A country does not collapse because people cannot calculate.

A country collapses when people entrusted with power have no discipline, no empathy, no moral foundation, and no fear of destroying the future of innocent people.

Some of the most dangerous people in society are highly educated.

That should force us to reflect deeply.

Maybe our schools should spend more time teaching emotional intelligence.
Teaching empathy.
Teaching self-control.
Teaching honesty.
Teaching dignity of labor.
Teaching integrity even when nobody is watching.

Because the child who learns discipline may survive failure.
But the child who learns only how to pass exams may someday become successful without values and that is dangerous for any society.

The painful truth is this:
A nation can recover from poor grades.

But recovering from a generation raised without character may take decades.

We must stop raising children only to pass exams.

We must start raising human beings.

He who has ear should act accordingly.©️
