Did it happen in Lagos old?
Not really Lagos.

But come on, you can still regain possession of your phone when you lose it. Any where in Nigeria, it doesn't matter.

One major aim Of this post is to create positive vibes in us all. There is more hope and green lights in Nigeria than most of us actually knew exists.

Please, some one should hold up that Green-white-green flag

You want Mod to push this your fable story to frontpage? grin
It looks like fable to you. But some of us actually have no time for jokes or lie.
I mean what will someone derive from telling a story on a public platform like this if it did not really happen?

I have more reputation than could allow me tell a lie in public. You don't know me, but there are people who knows me and reads my piece on this platform.

Be positive my guy.

Techno droidpad when be 15k na him you want call DSS 4 dis night... if you come lost iPhone 11 nko... that one you go say make them wake Buhari from sleep... mstcheeew.
Hahahaha!
Funny people are all over Nairaland.

I know why I chose to mention droidpad. Can you see how you lost concentration from the gist of this post to the value of the phone?

The import of the post was to draw your attention to the Samaritan-like attitude. But you digressed from the main point.

This could happen in an interview situation. learn how to stick to main Point.

You mean they told you it was too early to track your phone? Damn! There indeed, was a country.
Guy, I tell you na.
It was my insistence for a trial that led to my recovery of the phone. I was concerned that if I should wait for two weeks, much damage would result.

DICKstractor:
How much is your phone that you will call what happened a costly mistake?



Like I always say, don't judge an entire country/people by the actions of the few bad eggs. They are good people in Nigeria but good deeds have a very dim limelight but the reverse is louder than Angel Gabriel's trumpet.
You have a big point. We must learn to appreciate good deeds, even the smallest of them all. It has a way of encouraging and bringing similar good deeds out of others.

punisha:
I stopped reading at droipad grin grin grin
That was a digression from the main point. If I had types iPhone 11, you may had continued reading, isn't it.

Remember that the value of a phone does not affect the good deed of a Nigerian who returned a lost phone, nor does it diminish the fact that the police helps to regain lost phones.

I understand. Same fate befell me in 2018, but instead of the SARS officer in charge of tracking lost devices to help track my phone, hunku was asking for sex in exchange for helping me find my device.. I had to let go of the phone. It was painful but I had to.

Can you imagine?

Fine Ladies are suffering that sort of thing in recent times. Sorry please.

But that is why I am of the view that we the masses show public support for and to the NPF (Nigerian Police Force).
When we do that by forming an association of friends of the police. Our surface aim will be to canvass support for the members of the Police in Nigeria.
However, our foundational aim will remain to establish a synergy with the force whereby it will be possible to constructively criticize the bad eggs in the police and have them change or booted out.

Once again, sorry for the experience. Hope you will like a perfect reform of the Nigerian police?

This is rather urgent!
You are not required to give any money, except you voluntarily desires to appreciate the good work they do. That however is later, not at inception. You will not buy the services of the police for this your purpose.

You need to dress well and walk to the police Headquarters. Go to the commissioners office and, the desk officers you meet at the entrance, or any uniform wearing personal of the force you see there, tell him/her your plight. As that they direct you to appropriate department. I am sure they will direct you.

Don't go there looking unkept. Don't wear the modern Beard, it makes you look criminal prima-facie. Appearance matters, then speak good English.

The police are our friends. They are public servants. They are primarily there to serve and protect you, your properties and loved ones.

The thing I detest is that people hate the police, but I tell you in full confidence, POLICE IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO US. THEY ARE THE BEST AMONG ALL AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Your idea is splufik. However, I do not think the Nigerian Police Force is mentally ready for this kind of collaboration. An average policeman's target is not to protect lives and properties but to do that which would enrich him. But I do not want to be a pessimist in my quest to being an idealist, so I would say, let's give it try and see the dust we can raise and the fog that we can clear from this course.

Thanks for your optimism.

I have walked into so many police offices and even Headquarters and have discussed with senior police officers on the need for the NPF to collaborate with the civilians in achieving a peaceful and crime free society in Nigeria. This includes commissioners of Police, and they were grateful to my idea.

So keep sensitizing people within your reach. I am already doing so. Remember, the only thing that makes evil to remain triumphant over good is for good people to do nothing.

There are arrangements on step by step basis that will eventually lead us to the desired goal. I will reach you when I think it's right as a plan matures.
