E be like say dem don get Corper wey pity them

iamoyindamola:
Abi corper wan use them elevate

CrystalTiger:
Don't feel any iota of pity for any Nigerian Police officer.. There's no group of individuals that deserve misfortune like them..

You survive Nigerian Police profiling, thank your God, e no mean say you too smart..Na just your good luck..

izzou:
Easy, sir.

KingTom:
The Police haven't done anything to sanitise their image, Tunji Disu is a good man but one drop of water cannot cleanse an oil spillage. People will continue to celebrate their misfortunes until the end of time, maybe hundreds of years from now when we are all dead there might be a glimmer of change. Almost every Nigerian has a terrible Police story to share and it's saddening

BlueRayDick:
Sometimes I feel Nigerian police officers are trained to treat every average Nigerian civilian as a criminal first, until such civilian proves he's not .

You can see they've already concluded you are criminal at the first contact they have with you. Na you go come prove say you no be criminal; You still fit prove make dem still hol you. That's why I dey look elder wey dey cap careless about "Only Criminals fear police"

Jamiuokolaa:
E be like say SARS never do you or your family member strong thing before.

Those ones are 1000000 times worse than the Nigerian soldiers being complained about

GloriousGbola:
Not as a criminal, but as a victim to be harassed, exploited and obtained

izzou:
Doesn't mean I should stereotype every officer.

GloriousGbola:
As a transporter who has Waka Waka across naija izzou has seen the good the bad and the ugly of the NPF across Lagos and across Nigeria and he interacts with them every other ay.

KingTom:
Maybe o but walahi this is how NTA should be

Elder the engagement farmer.

TemporaryHansel:
You always say this, and it's quite confusing.

Is it that you don't want me to comment on this thread at all? Because anytime I start a discussion or comment on an existing discussion, you label it "engagement farming".

What will anybody's engagement here do for me?? 🤔

izzou:
I don't like Policemen, to be honest.

But there are obviously good ones. There are those who are not wicked.

Also, they are the only ones you will reach out to when you are in distress. You cannot call a thief to come and save you from a thief.

CrystalTiger:
Invited my little cousin to Lagos so he could grow under me after he graduated, same field.. Initially wanted him to be at my branch in Enugu but he wanted out of the East and away from his mom..

Travelling from Umuahia to Owerri to take his flight, there's a police checkpoint that's very notorious if you take that road.. There's no single day that you don't see them harassing people..He got there, they stopped him, saw ByBit app on his phone and detained him at the back of their hilux, from where he called me..Long story short, I found him three days later at Mbaise police station, the one that was burnt which they use as their illegal detention site which is officially decommissioned btw..

I don't even want to describe what my life was like for those three days or what a 22yr old passed through in their hands because there was zero arrest records of that boy anywhere in both Imo and Abia...

So yeah, there's no group of individuals that deserve misfortune like them..

BlueRayDick:
Personally I don't believe there are genuinely good police officers in this country , the degree of evil they are capable of doing just varies from officer to officer..

The same police officer that may be good to you (either because you are a church member, a family friend or for any other reason) will join hand to punish an innocent person. And when they shake down people for money, both the ones that are nice and the mean ones will share in the largesse.

afrodoc2:
You are right.

GloriousGbola:
I have always told my son this policeman you see smiling and grinning at me will have a completely different stance with you if he meets you one on one.

And for our daughters it can be even worse. No qualms about sexual harassing obvious children.

BlueRayDick:
Omo! The kind stress you will go through for that 3 days while looking for the boy ehn, you would be so scared and be praying that he's not be un-alived.

I'm sure by the time you finally locate the boy and have him released, your anxiousness would've dissolved into gratitude.

iamoyindamola:
Same here

CrystalTiger:
My aunt wey be widow, I dey console am for her first child wey wn loss for my hand, I still dey face police people shenanigans..Thank God for everything jare



Police wey wear uniform today and the ones wey dey plan enlist or graduate from academy, thunder fire them..

KingTom:
What GloriousGbola said holds weight (pun intented) the Police profile people based on appearance at least during the day, at night everybody's fair game

I had an Uncle, one who lived most of his life abroad and has been used to 'calling the cops' some boys stole his laptop and were eventually aprehended by a mob and his laptop was given back to him, instead of Baba to find boys something and call it a day seeing as they had already given the thief a proper 'Abeokuta beating', he went and reported to the police who turned him into their ATM and eventually wanted to charge him for 'assaulting' the boy who stole, after every every he settled DPO with about 500k and cried back home saying 'Nigeria has gone to the dogs' .

BlueRayDick:
Someone once told me that as a graduate If I had joined the Nigerian police and was on the rank of ASP, I would have a police patrol Van at my disposal. I would have at my dispoal a standby Patrol team which I will send out daily and get retruns from them on a weekly basis. We would have an agreement in principle for them to remit a targeted figure which they must always meet up or get replaced on my team.

He said that's why I see most olopa on the road dey take their shake down business so serious and they would go to any length to extort money from you.

I'm sure most people will see the fresh ASP in his well ironed uniform and think he's a good guy while the olopa at roadblocks are the scum of the earth.

BlueRayDick:


" Nigeria has gone to the dogs" Lmao....

afrodoc2:
This is to let you know that they see people primarily as victims and not criminals. Their extortion business is just easier for them if the person they are interacting with is an actual criminal.

What they do is to either see you as a criminal or pretend to see you as a criminal. Your criminality is just a means to an end for them, and that end is obtaining you and meeting their daily quota.

KingTom:
What's this nonsense I'm seeing about some misguided youths castigating the judiciary for handing out death Penalties to Kidnappers in Edo? No be everything we suppose dey cry about o, those baskats will not have mercy on you when you are their victim o hmmmm. Talmbout 'Boko Haram were given amnesty after killing hundreds'
