I was going to see a friend and something happened………


POLICE: hey stop there open that bag, I think na una dey do YAHOO! YAHOO!

SELF: I cannot open my bag unless you show me your warrant of arrest or search.
(other police men came and forcefully collected my bag opened it and saw my laptop and books, switched on my laptop and did some Radom searching. I think he saw nothing implicating, and all my confidential files were coded somewhere. Cheers. )

POLICE: na me u dey speak gramma for abi, which mailer u dey use? Even if u nor dey do YAHOO! I know say u get boys. My boys na multicalos them dey go, police nor dey near there.

SELF: I am completely unaware of what you are talking about, you saw my book right ? I am a cisco network associate.
( he took my wallet and my phone, scrolled down my phone book, opend my wallet saw two atm cards and one master card. He smiled and said oya make we go atm go collect money N80000 otherwise na station u dey go.

POLICE: were u see money take buy laptop and this kind phone? If u nor be G boy? Oya make we dey go station.

SELF: how I got my laptop and phone is absolutely none of your business, we re going to the station right? I am not moved, lets GO!, conversation continued until we got almost to the station.

LOL , as we approached the station he pulled over and told me to go, saying I was too storbun, as I was leaving, he called me and said abeg make I find am small thing, I looked at his miserable life and gave him N1000. And off they went chanting.
I went back home without achieving anything and frustrated, rather wasting money on some bunch of miscreant and these were the people that were meant to protect lives and properties.

So was I WRONG to call Nigeria a country of doom!, A country where no SYSTEM WORKS.?

bilymuse:
l doubt it if there is any Nigerian living who has never given bribe or collected one.

hayprof:
It is a Big Crime 0oo

Don1DeMaco:
Yes i guess u are wrong because after going through all that stress u still decided to give them money, no be small money ooo N1000 for being right, na people like u no dey make police allow innocent people go for free.

i mean u already got them, then u give N1000 so how police go take do the next guy who is equally right & stubborn but unwilling to part with money?? and u want the country to get beta

kosovo:
@BrownBono and @Demarco here,
its is not as easy as you think i was under pressure having witnessed what happened to a friend,
he paid N10000 to bail himself AND N50000 to bail his laptop, the police didnt even give him his laptop bag and flash.
though the guy didnt carry his receipt and stuff like that,
no be small thing.

Kobojunkie:
I hoped we understand that the only way to win is to stand our ground against these people, in greater numbers.

kosovo:
I'd be happy if it was as easy as that, just walk away., haven't you heard of some situation where either a bus driver or bike ridder is shot by the police just because of N20, i don't think there would really have been another option.

doyin13:
Kobo. . . A bit offtopic, but are you still the moderator?

Kobojunkie:
No, I was only moderator for about 3 days and that was a long time ago.

doyin13:
Eeeyah. . . .Sorry o. Thats what you get for being a Limbaugh-listening Black Republican

You guys just cannot catch a break

kosovo:
Nigeria is a multi ethnic and multi diverse country with a population of over 140 million people and a literacy rate of less than 48%. The self acclaimed giant of Africa lead by an indecisive president.
Rated among the poorest and most corrupt nations despite the abundance of invaluable natural resources. A country where nepotism, tribalism, ethnocentrism and political jingoism are the order of the day.
We spent billions making and launching NIGCOMSAT1 yet it has yielded 0% to the nation building, meanwhile NIGCOMSAT2 is on is way for launch some where around 2009, funds that could arguable be described as wasted!
Build and maintain a NUCLEAR POWER STATION in Nigeria? Huh? I laugh in pidgin.
A country that has $60 billion foreign reserve yet people live under $1 dollar a day.  $240 million daily from excess crude which cannot be accounted for. N5 million furniture allowance for nation assembly members while the teachers who play a very important role in a nation cannot have an exclusive salary structure. NTA the self acclaimed largest TV network in Africa which can barely provide news on other Africa nations……,   Curtsey SABC, that’s what we always hear. Graduates waste a full year all in the name of NYSC, at the end the outcome is UNEMPLOYMENT.

Pataki:
What kind of crime is it to carry a laptop with you? When I was in Nigeria, I carry my laptop with me, although you have to carry a receipt with it all the time.

But it is crazy though.
