Join The Nigeria Police Force Today. by Nobody: 7:14am On Mar 30, 2016 |
Let me inspire you today. A friend in the NPF shared this piece with me to inspire/motivate somebody. About 12-year ago, I enlisted into the Nigeria Police force as a very young teenager. In fact, I was one of the youngest person during my training. It was really frustrating for me to join the Police because I was a very bright young boy in my secondary school days and it was said then that the Police job is meant for school dropouts and not for intelligent heads like me . My dad never forced me to join the Police neither did my mum. They didn't persuade me neither were they even aware when I went to purchase the Police form. I did it out of my own volition because some of my friends in the barrack then were all enlisting into the Police force. They were proud and I was envious. My dad wants me to study medicine in the university so I can become a medical doctor and not to join the Police as a recruit constable because he knows what it takes to climb the ranks in the Police force. Of course, who wouldn't want to go to school? I really would have love to make my dad happier by studying to become a medical doctor but the sight of my friends all wearing recruits training kits each time am in the basketball court playing basketball at Police College Ikeja makes me more envious of my friends. I guess my environment influenced my decision to enlist into the Police force. As a young secondary school graduate then, I worked at a pure water factory for some weeks just to raise some money to buy the Police form because I know if I told my dad to give me money to buy the Police form, he won't give me the money because he doesn't support me joining the Police neither does my mum. Within six weeks working as a labourer at a pure water factory, I was able to raise enough money for myself to secure the form and get a medical report that am healthy to join the Police. I quit working with the pure water company and began to prepare myself to enlist into the Nigeria Police force. There were too many discouragements from my dad, his friends, my mum and some of my friends about the Police organisation. Discouragement about the untold corruption in the Police, discouragement about how the Police can corrupt a young person mind not to take education seriously. So many discouragements. But I refused to listen to those words. I stood on my ground that I'll join the Police with or without my parents supports. Finally, I bought the Police form, got my medical test, wrote the exam, passed, and went for screening. I was selected and recruited into the Police on January 3rd, 2004. Believe me, I was only 18 years and three months old then. I was so young....very young. My parents later got wind of the information that am now a recruit constable. Note, my house is just few minutes walk to Police college Ikeja. So I was able to conceal my being a recruit constable for only three weeks. My parents were mad at me but they had no choice than to let me continue with the training. Fast forward..... I graduated at Police college Ikeja as the best in drill and one of the best in academy. I would have doubled my award as the best in academy if not for the death of my mum few days to my final exams. My mum death affected me psychologically, emotionally and academically and I dropped to 17th position out of over 1000 recruit constables. Today, I have no regrets joining the Police as a recruit constable. Am a graduate, a Father, a Husband, a Landlord, a Car owner, a business man and have been able to travel to different countries around the world being a Police officer and am only 30 years of age. Many of my friends who criticised my joining the Police then are still struggling and finding their feets in life. Some are dead and some are in jail due to various crimes. Some are unhinged for taking narcotics. Some are frustrated to the extent that a old friend took his own life out of frustration. Some are still job seekers, school dropouts but ONLY very few of my old friends are doing pretty well with a genuine job. As a Police officer, have been able to leave a positive mark wherever I go even though some of my colleagues see me as a strange person for disbelieving in their belief. Am not saying I don't have my own flaws in performing my duty, but I try to be fair in whatever I do as a Police officer. I work my ass off every single day without observing any holiday apart from casual or annual leave as a Police officer and am proud of it because am doing something great to myself, my family and my country. I try so hard not to be exposed to corruption within the regular Police that's one of the reason I enlisted into the Police bomb squad. I'll never stop chasing my dreams as a Police officer. Even though am a graduate of Economics, my dream is to become a lawyer one day and I want to go back to school again to pursue that dream. There have been ups and downs being a Policeman, but HARD WORK AND DEDICATION ARE THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE. I won't steal, i won't take what's not mine, I won't be involved in shady deals, I won't be involved in corruption, I won't disappoint the Police and I won't let my name down. These were my promises. Despite keeping to my words to a greater percentage, am still able to meet up with my colleagues in life who maybe involved in shady deals. That means you don't need to be corrupt to earn a decent and better living as a Policeman. Now, the Police is about to recruit 10,000 personnel to strengthen the Police Force and its absolutely free. You don't need to work in a pure water factory to raise money like me to purchase the form. All you need to join the Police now is interest, your basic SSCE results or higher degree certificate and medical report. You can take this great opportunity and change the face of the Police and be a hero. Stop criticizing the Police, join the Police and make it better. We need more dedicated and educated men and women in the Police force. Believe me, there are lots of opportunities in the Police than many other jobs. I have a lot of people to thank. People that has helped me and believe in me....I won't mention names here... One of the things that I carry great pride on in my life is that "Am a Police officer with a difference" JOIN THE POLICE TO CHANGE THE POLICE. Pls share if you're inspired and inspire others to join the Nigeria Police force. Edward Ezekiel Onoriode 3 Likes |

Truth be told, the reason why more than three-quarter of graduates and otherwise would put in for this recruitment is because of the menace called "unemployment". Very few are going in because of passion. Ur case is indeed a very motivating one because inspite of all odds, you were able to come out victorious. Keyword to take home is "passion". Why are you going to join d nigeria police force? Is it because of d 140k, egunje, job security, or the passion to add value to yourself and your country at large. |
