All these things can't stop.. The government is too corrupt.. Until we are ready... things will keep on getting worse.. The only solution is for everyone to arm themselves with weapons n start a revolution.. its only violence that can change a bad government in Africa.. Don't talk abt voting d right ppl coz d right ppl are not dirty enough to be in Politics in this Nigeria.. If we split.. d corruption will be reduced greatly coz ethnicity won't be a problem anymore.. we will be left with religion, looting... to deal with..

It is very gruesome. Police now believe 95% of the populace, especially youth are criminals. Despite all the complains, not even IGP has issued a statement, over the weekend in Asaba, some IRT kidnapped a guy, transferred #1.2m to an account, last night the money was refunded.
Hello! Can you clearly explain what happened here and include an evidence of such monetary involvement. I promise you the govt will take action.

Seun, Lalasticlala, Mydn44 should see to this. We can change our nation by saying no to evil. Without a warrant police has no right to check your phones or laptop.
It is all about the politics of our land. Malawi changed their destiny by not allowing results of rigged election to stand.

There is only one reason for the docility displayed by the youth of this country : Everyone is scared to die! But I ask : if you can't stand and fight for your own rights, aren't you as good as dead We are all playing dead and we have no one to tell us.


The youth of this country are cowards and their oppressors know this.

Our politicians are just mouthing reforming Police in Nigeria.
Daily SARS, IRT and police in general are becoming daring and brutal against the people. Yet the President, igp and law makers are doing nothing about it. Owning a phone or computer is now a crime. Just by Sango under bridge going to Atan, come and see how sars were behaving molesting innocent citizens.
Please if you have been brutalised by police; tell us your experience and what can we do to put an end to this menace?
if you have an online movement or campaign started already on these issues do drop a link or handle to it let people rally in if not i suggest you or anyone begin one, you have my support and several others here and beyond.

LegendHero:
This is my own solution:

Introduction:
The SARS brutality is getting out of hand and it seems the government is getting clueless by the day in finding a lasting solution to the constant killings by these blood sucking demons called SARS.

Nigeria is a nation where conventional solutions always seems ineffective because of the corrupt nature of almost all agencies of government. No matter what the leadership does, these agencies will always find a way to maneuver their way and commit atrocities. Hence we need to solve this problem using a more rugged approach.

Scenario:
- Police DPOs are always informed anytime their officers are going for a raid. (Probably 75% of the time).
- Infact internal sources claimed that the DPOs sometimes set daily/weekly target for officers to meet.
- The officers get back to the station and remit a certain percentage of their loot to the DPOs daily/weekly.
- The DPOs in-turn remit a certain percentage to the commissioners & other leads on top of the hierarchy.
- Possibly, the leadership in Abuja might be part of this looting network too (assumption).

Judging from the above scenario, it will be absurd for the government to think the police head will be able to solve this police brutality on their own coz they are all guilty from top to bottom.

Proposed Solution:
- A Rep should sponsor a bill to establish a separate disciplinarian (trial) court with sole responsibility of trying cases of extortion & police brutality in the police force. (The body constitution may include the police, judiciary, etc).
- The president should assent to the bill and make it a law.
- Make a law that ALL the officers that partakes in a raid of extortion be sacked within 4 weeks (Investigation period)
- Most local police raiding guys are familiar faces. Their offices are known by people in the locality.
- The FSARS guys too can be identified with at least something. (An assumption)
- Since the DPOs most times know about their officers going out for raids, make a law that any DPO whose officer engages in a raid of extortion be either relocated to another state or he should be demoted to a regular officer. (Give them grace of three occurrences and issue warning at every instance).

Conclusion:
In my own theory, it is better to go after the top guys when trying to solve a menace coz when you shake the top, the lower cadre will fall in line. If the DPOs are held responsible for the actions of their officers, they will make sure their officers are kept in check.

This is just me thinking out loud!


This position makes so much sense. But alas who will that politician to push it to the Senate? The ogas at the top are busy scheming to win 2023 election to care for such.

You can't have dread and tattoos without drawing attention from sars and the police.

The way kids reason on nairaland is alarming, you have never met me in your life but concluded I am poor and wretched. That's very immature and poor reasoning at it's best. I really pity you for not utilizing your brain in your lifetime.

Kindly learn how to use your brain next time, that's if you really have one, it highly seems unlikely though.

I know that there's a fundamental problem in this country, but my brother, can I change it?
Africa hasn't gotten to the level of dreadlocks and tattoos without raising suspicion from the police or SARS, that's an indication of a messed up society. I'm just advising guys that it's better to be safe than sorry.

That doesn't warrant you calling me poor or wretched in any way. Not boasting, I made my first million at 17 and I have never been poor all my life in all honesty.

bro that's just the drill, you are fuelling illegality with ur utterance on dreadlocks and tattoo. You said u can't change things but you're aiding police brutality because u feel tattoo and dreadlock is a no-no for you, does that made it a crime? we ought to be bind by the constitution of the land, not by our emotions, sentimental, religion or belief.
I ain't calling you poor, I'm just baffled u belief ur not tattooing or no dreadlock is a saving grace. you ought to see bankers and teachers picked at random.
But why are we quick to labelled tattoo or dreadlocks un-african.(though they have space in our history), but its African for a dark lady to become White over night.
All I known that's African is, is our 'cowardliness'.

Personally, I love tattoos, not the Oshodi or Computer village types, but quality tattoo like those A-list stars own but our society hasn't gotten to that level yet. Therefore, if anyone wants to avoid trouble, it's better to stay clean till you fly outside.

Meanwhile, most guys with tattoos and dreadlocks are bad boys and criminals in Nigeria. I don't know why but statistics seems to be against them. If I'm a police man, once I see you with tattoos and dreadlocks, you would be a suspect because many of them are cultists and criminals. I don't know why but it's the bitter truth.

This logic is flawed and morally bankrupt. I'm surprised that an "educated achiever" can think this way.

I've found that this habit of rationalizing crimes common amongst Nigerians -- a lady gets raped (oh, she dressed inappropriately or she was dating two friends or she wasn't supposed to be out at that time), someone gets harassed ("he deserved it, look how he's dressed"wink.

It's embarrassing that you all have to pontificate your prejudiced thoughts and think it's supposed to be the norm.

We have no hope in this country because people still think like this and not only think but say these things out loud and rationalize them, so it has become our reality and will remain status quo.

You sir, are part of the problem you claim to prefer a solution to

Only few faced reality and said the truth. Reforms won't work,at least fast enough. And forget about an agency disciplining errant officials. Most erring officers only get pat on the hand & get transferred. Including the military.

If we all stand against them together like they do in the north, their notorious activities will reduce. When they know they can be lynched,harrassed or outrightly killed by those around in defence of the victim. But I guess it's only one part of the country that has that ability.

Hahaha, you are always quick to point fingers rather than understanding with them, just learn how to absorb information first before commenting.

I'm not saying that tattoos are bad or anything, but going by Nigerian statistics, most guys with tattoos and dreadlocks are into various vices. The Nigerian badboy mentality is that after blending, the next thing is tattoo and dreadlocks.

Carry out a personal research, go to the nearest police station, you would see pictures on their notice board, go to the armed robber section and view the criminals. Kindly watch out for their appearance then agree or disagree with my hypothesis.

I may be wrong or right. I am not part of Nigeria's problem in anyway. I am not directly or indirectly responsible for police orientation. I have never held any public office apart from SUG in my university days.

Hahaha, yes I agree that I may be wrong. Shekau is not a southerner and his level of exposure cannot be equated with those from the south as the northerners are highly religious and conservative.

That aside, anyone with tattoos naturally arouse suspicion especially ladies. I haven't seen any decent girl with tattoos but I have seen numerous prostitutes and club girls with tattoos. Only a handful of decent guys have tattoos but a huge number of touts and criminals cum Yahoo boys have tattoos. The ones with teardrops on their eyes are extremely deadly and if I'm a police officer, I would shoot them on sight.

Teardrops in most cult groups signify how many people the bearer has killed (fell).
