The only long-term solution for the mess that is "policing" in Nigeria is public accountability. Nigeria is simply too big, too populous and too ethnically-diverse for the sort of centralised nonsense that has been termed "policing" since colonial days. The primary unit of organisation for police forces should be at the lowest level possible (in other words, the LGA, and not at the state level), with chiefs of police (or sheriffs) being directly accountable to the residents they watch over, and completely independent of both the FG and the state governors. Ideally, this would also mean that the ordinary rank and file would be elected from locals (by which I mean people who actually live close to where they'll be working, not just "natives" who have never even stepped foot on the soil they call "home" because a parent or grandparent came from there).

This doesn't mean that police chiefs will now simply be elected officials, but that the body which decides whether any particular police officer is put in charge in an LGA must be staffed by local representatives who are themselves elected independently. It's one thing for a policeman posted from his native region to the opposite end of the country to demand bribes at gunpoint, knowing there's nothing any locals up to governor level can do about it, and something else for someone who has been your neighbour for several years, and whose children probably play with yours, to act the same way.

Of course, this being the sh*thole of a failed state that is Nigeria, none of the above will ever cross the minds of the dimwits who call the shots in Abuja.

I can see the benefits in this, but how would this work in highly polarized states, imagine what Southern Kaduna citizens for instance would have faced in such a scenario. Or Ife Modakeke crisis then..

Because in Zoo, in see animals behaving like animals. Our leader are rulling like tyrant and dictators. Rulling us like animals. We don't have power to say our mind because if you do, it will become hate speech.
Freedom of Speech, but no Freedom after Speech. Who have we offended? I can't even go into business, because when I look at my capital, it will look like money for buying packet of toothpick.

You shouldn't give up hope regardless of the situation. Being negative about things won't change it.

Haba, ee too much now.

How does calling it a zoo solve the issues you've highlighted?

csn01:
That means you are not a Nigerian. Average Nigerians knows we live in Zoo. Come are you from Niger Republic? Or Chad?

Stop calling your country a zoo. It's not nice.. Jokes apart.

csn01:
We are living together. Na here they born us, na here we go old die. Abi you won sell your country to Portugal?

No be me and you, haha!

csn01:
Mrs animal. How are you? Lol.

Hahaha. You are the one living in a zoo, not me.

csn01:
Watin you want make em state, he just said the truth. SARS is police. Police is SARS. They are not DSS OR AMOTEKUN. you end SARS, na SARS you end no be police.

You again, mr zoo. Pls carry your pessimism elsewhere.

Kasco:
In few months from now, I will be 10yrs on nairaland, home una dey arrange my package?

Which package We should be the ones asking you for anniversary cake!

1StopRudeness:
Nigerians just went to shout for nothing as if SARS is one special security force... are they not the same police men with a different name....

They disbanded SARS....they will not sack them naaa, they will only become normal policemen and continue the harassment and brutality...

So, oga what is YOUR solution?! All of you that know how to pick holes in others' actions, kindly always state your prescribed solutions.

Kudos to Nigerians. This is just the starting point of what a nation can achieve when it speaks with ONE voice.

Nice Corbin

I and this my guy were very cool in secondary school we had each other's back but I leaned on him the most because I had low self esteem. We graduated from secondary and my esteem began to grow almost daily . I am no longer the person I used to be I now see my self as a better person . During this lockdown I started making friends, freeing myself from worries and generally trying to be happy . My esteem grew drastically. But just as exam started drawing near and I started reading with this my friend and one other guy . This my particular friend has been trying to put me down . He'll praise himself but put us down . He's always trying to discredit me , talk down on me or talk about my receeding hairline or something. Because of all these things I stopped sharing my sexcapades with him ,I stopped telling him my motives or plans . I either show result or ..... . I've started keeping small small distance because I've noticed all the negative things he's saying are affecting my confidence.


Even before the lockdown it affected badly because we were always hanging out .

You are very self aware and that's half of the battle already won. But please increase that distance from small small to very wide if you can't cut him off completely. You have a bright future ahead of you, don't let one star killer pull you down.

maasoap:
And I'm telling you that I don't give shii about yours. So, stop trying to impose it

Then stop quoting me and writing useless epistles. Apologist.

maasoap:
You still don't get miss tot, I'm not bound by your opinion or what you might perceive as right or wrong and vice versa. Grow sense

Who gives a hoot about your opinion, mr mediocrity?

maasoap:
Lol. Like you didn't type more than that.



I don't know that we should all be govt antagonists.

Yes, we know you are mediocre, that is why you have no sense of how things should work normally. Mr Govt apologist. Sorry is your name.

Hotzone:
Nobody go protest this one and it happens each month maybe twice in a week

What stops YOU from protesting this one?

RIP to the dead.

maasoap:
Paid agents my as$, many of you just to comment like you dropped from the Mars. Who is paying who? You have your opinions on issues and others have theirs too. But typical Nigerian like you always believe that your opinion is superior and would want others to keep quiet thereby resorting to blackmail.



And you, the hate and venom in you may eventually consume you. People like you only think of today but not tomorrow. When armed robbers and kidnappers start to frustrate your life, you will begin to shout and wail again. Forgetting that you were the one who demanded for the head to be cut because of headache instead of taking panadol. Mtcheeew!!!

[/s]

Oh please, shut it.
The comment entered you to the extent of typing a whole useless epistle. Govt apologist. Mscheeew!!

Dearlord:
To be honest with Nigerian, we will never be a great Nation with all this idiots at the helm of affairs.

Too many incompetent hands in sensitive positions in Nigeria.

njola34:
Check it out

Good research. We can see why things work in these countries, it starts right from the structure set up.

[quote author=ojuu4u post=94836165][/quote]You must be a local champion to be asking such a question. Uncle, try and be exposed a bit so you don't ask ridiculous questions on a public forum.

Mention just one organization, public or private anywhere in the world, where entire workforces are graduates

csn01:
You are counting yourself out?
Keep watching.

Smh

ojuu4u:
If you are not illiterate or educated illiterate you will not even imaging not to talk of uttered it out that, ssce holders should stay behind in stations and BSC to go to highway.

I think you should mention just one country in entire world where they practice such foolish idea from stupid person.


You guys should read what you type before you post it pls.

It's a simple question based on YOUR comment.

Why should ssce holders be recruited in the first place not to talk of debating whether they are at the station or the highways?

You are the one that should learn to read before responding to comments.

ModestGal:
They are the main problem of Nigeria, they won't do anything and won't allow those that wanna do something do. They only see negatives on every trial

Honestly, it's so annoying. Better they even keep quiet than spread their pessimism around.

ojuu4u:
So bsc holder will be the officers to be posted to highway? In fact I love ur wisdom.

Would you rather illiterates be the ones posted to highways?

If you have followed the trend from inception you wouldn’t bother quoting that quota system of a product. Shalom

Don't mind him.
He has changed the tune to a different song. Hypocrites. They won't have a solution for something but will be opening their mouths to castigate those who at least took a stand.

csn01:
Nigeria is a zoo, am sure you believe this. Now ask yourself, can NPF be reformed?
Do you think they can stop collecting 50 from motorist? Do you believe APC and PDP can be reformed?
Believe this at your own risk. Me I no dey ooo. IGP just dey buy time. He has alot of things to do. He is fighting with PCS, he is recruiting new constables, he is training those community policies. Until we demand for GOOD GOVERNANCE, Nigeria still remain a Zoo.

So, you decided to change the tune.
Kindly speak for yourself on what you believe.
If it's a zoo, I guess that makes you an animal then.

csn01:
Reform NPF

Such reforms will follow from this. This step is a significant one in the whole journey of the required change.

csn01:
On point

And those Police Officers under SARS unit will be deployed to where. A unique unit loading.........or do you think they sack those officers under the unit?

It is a starting point. If you have a full on solution, state it rather than trying to water down the efforts of those who spoke out for this.

Now that the Nigerian police realise that all eyes are on them, they will be forced to behave.

Hating consumes you need the advice... Bro

Repent and save yourself from destruction. Last warning.

And your good English connote to your inferiority
Complex, but still that shouldn't make you have a proverty mindset and hate towards internet hustlers or rich young boys

My question is do you listen to Nigeria music

You are a THIEF. Change your ways before you get destroyed. You are already on fast track on the path of destruction. Change while you can!!
