In the fifth and final part of a series of articles looking at policing in Nigeria, the BBC's Andrew Walker looks at the prospects for effective police reform:

Everyone in Nigeria has experienced the failure of the police to carry out their duty to uphold the law - from the routine "dashing" money to officers at road checkpoints and failures to investigate crimes to horrifying tales of extortion and murder.

The litany of crimes they commit fill pages of newspapers and reports from human rights organisations.
Put a microphone in front of people in the street, however, and they will say one thing: "It's not as bad as it used to be."

Most people will feel that if you say something about the police it could be trouble for you, they may trace you Anonymous Abuja resident Will there be justice for the Apo Six? Locking up Nigeria's 'civil lunatics'
This BBC series has revealed first-hand how the police struggle against incompetence, poor training and equipment.
How they arbitrarily arrest and imprison people and how "shockingly common" extra-judicial executions are.
Such is the mistrust of the police that ordinary people prefer to patrol their own streets and administer their own "jungle justice".

So what are the prospects for improving the police to make it an effective service?

Political independence

The government is currently attempting to reform the police.

KEY WHITE PAPER REFORMS Better pay Police officers are paid as little as $40 (£26) a month, this should be raised to $100 for police constablesBad eggs Deal with the estimated 10,000 officers with criminal records hired between 2001 and 2004Complaints A reliable system for the public to complain should be establishedBetter educated Recruits should attain a certain level of qualification before being consideredPromotions Job applications should be transparently managedUniforms Policemen should not have to buy their ownCommunications Police should get an up-to-date communication networkEquipment Police should be given better investigating tools and the training to use them Nigeria's 'Jungle justice' On patrol with Nigeria's police

They have produced a White Paper with 79 recommendations for improving the police force, which is due to be considered by the National Assembly and turned into a Police Reform Bill.

Reading them it is clear how far the police have to go.

According to the paper, the police needs to be seriously overhauled from better training, new uniforms, more pay, the building of new police stations and colleges to better equipment and promotion regimes.
It describes the resources needed to do it as "enormous", and says it will take at least five years.
But police reform activists say the proposals do not tackle the serious issue of political independence.

"The police will continue to see their job as carrying out the will of the political powers," says Innocent Chukwuma of the Cleen Foundation.

He says recommendations that would have removed the president's power to appoint the chief of police and give the appointee security of tenure in office were taken out of the white paper.
Force or service?

Those in the police itself agree it will be a long road.

"There are numerous challenges the police face," says Assistant Commissioner Austin Iwar at the force headquarters in the capital, Abuja.

Poor equipment is not the only problem the police have, reformers say
"The police as it is now came out of a military administration. That is probably the biggest challenge we face - turning it from a force into a service."

He agrees that police officers often lack the skills needed to police effectively.

But he refuses to admit the most serious allegations made about the police - that they brutally torture and sometimes kill suspects without trial.

"I have spent a long time in investigations in the police and I have never tortured anyone to make a case," he says.
His job is to strengthen the police's "community policing" initiative.

In short, this means improving the relationship between the police and the community, so people do not feel the law is something alien or foreign to them.

Then, when a crime occurs community leaders can bring information to the police to help locate the criminals.
It is a programme supported since 2002 by the UK government's £30m ($45m) Security Justice and Growth programme.

But privately, officers say there is a big problem with reform.

Once an officer gets to a rank where it is possible to make reforms, he or she is so deeply involved in a corrupt system that they cannot change it.

'Bad eggs'
Past attempts at reform have faltered.

In 2007, Inspector General Sunday Ehindero announced that more than 10,000 officers would be sacked in an attempt to root out "bad eggs".

His predecessor Tafa Balogun, who was later convicted on corruption charges, had knowingly employed thousands of officers with criminal records.

But the officers who were sacked were often not the "bad eggs", an investigation by the National Assembly heard afterwards.

Instead, they had wormed their way into the system and survived the purge.

The investigation also heard how police regulators and the government officials in charge of policing were fully aware of the existence of criminal officers, but for more than five years did nothing about it.

Talking to Nigerians on the streets of Abuja about their police force, most are up beat about the possibilities of reform.

"They are trying," says 29-year-old Salome, a shopkeeper.

"They need to improve training and pay," says Ibrahim, a civil servant.

But people are also cautious; no one the BBC spoke to would agree to have their picture taken.

"Most people will feel that if you say something about the police it could be trouble for you, they may trace you," one man said - refusing to give his name.

See as the problem take start o!



After dem fit come talk say na African man start am!!!!!!!!

For Forest Whittiker and his compatriot Danny Glover it was sweet home coming on Sunday April 5, 2009, when the traditional ruler and people of Nkwere, Imo state welcomed him with a chieftaincy title after taking part at the just concluded African Movie Academy Awards in Bayelsa. The sleepy town went in wild jubilation when the motorcade entered the ancient palace of Eshi of Nkwere while the traditional drummers and women dancers welcomed the guests with songs of praises.
The African-American A-List Hollywood stars were introduced to the people and chiefs of the ancient town by Chief Nze Chukwuka Anyiam-Osigwe, the eldest son of the Anyiam-Osigwe brothers who also is a title chief of Nkwerre.



Forrest WhittikeThe elated Anyiam-Osigwe told the jubilant crowd at the palace of Eze Dr. Chijioke Jeki Okwara IV, that the coming of Danny Glover and Forest Whittiker was the greatest thing to happen to black history as history was made on the day the two men re-establish their connection with their root.

Forest Whittiker has done a DNA which revealed that he has Igbo ancestral root and a link with Nkwerre people. The eldest Anyiam-Osigwe said, ‘’This is our lost brother. We have found him and brought him home. It is only an Nkwere man that can find his way home after many years. We are a people from unparallel kingdom. We are pride of Igboland. Today our brother Whittiker and his friend Mr. Glover will be made Nkwerre Chiefs and it is not an easy task to be an Nkwerre chief because there are only 30 Nkwerre chiefs in the whole world,’’ he said.

After introducing the Hollywood stars to the people and chiefs, the King ordered they be brought inside the inner chamber for traditional rites preceding their final confirmation as chiefs. It was an emotional one for Whittiker who has been working all his life to establish direct contact with his ancestral Igboland and the quest was made possible by attending the UBA-AMAA awards in Nigeria as a star guest.

After the traditional rite of hand washing before the breaking of Kolanut which signifies purity and cleansing the Eze Okwara IV, Eshi of Nkwere called on the Eze Anyiam-Osigwe, the eldest of the Anyiam Osigwe brothers to once again confirm if the guests are worthy to be made Chiefs of Nkwerre. Before the 20 heads of Villages that made up of Nkwerre, Eze Anyiam-Osigwe proclaims that worthiness of Glover and Whittiker

‘’Danny Glover is a member of our family for his attitude and ways of assistance to us. Being an Nkwerre chief will help us socially, culturally and economically as our dream of a film village and film institute will be realised with Danny and Whittiker as chiefs of our town. They are good people. We present them as worthy of being chiefs of Nkwerre,’’ Anyiam Osigwe declared.

Upon the public affirmation of the duo as worthy of the honour, Eze Okwara asked the palace chief to bring out a live eagle, a symbol of strength, vigour and power to complete the chieftaincy rite. The king removed the feathers of the eagle and stuck it in a red cap before both men wore their caps as red cap chiefs of Nkwerre.

Whittiker was honoured with the title of Nwannedinambar of Nkwerre which means a brother in foreign land while Glover had the title of Enyioma which means a good friend of Nkwerre.



Chief Nze Chukwuka Anyiam-Osigwe the Eshi of Nkwere and Forest Whittiker, Nwannedinamba of Nkwerre land after the conferment at the Eshi of Nkwerre palace on Sunday.The traditional ruler of Nkwerre told the people at the ceremony that good things are happening to black race with a black man becoming American President.

‘’The black race is an intelligent race. You will see how the Obama stimulus package will bail out the world economy already in recession. It is the same level of black intelligence that made it possible for our son and brother to get to the height of their career as Hollywood stars.

‘’When you get to America tell them you have discovered your root,’’ he told Whitter. He went further, ‘’This meeting today will bring a relationship of partnership between Nkwerre and African-American through cultural exchange and economic opportunities,’’ the monarch explained.

While accepting the honour, the two men thanked the people and the king for accepting them and recognising their achievements as movie stars and for finding them worthy to be honoured. They promised the people that they will live up to the demand of their traditional offices.

Hi all, i am new to this, i will like to know when the show will be over and how many house mate do we have left?

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning.

Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value.

We publish below a description of use of water for our readers.

For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found
successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy,excess fatness, bronchitis
asthma, TB, meningitis,kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhoea, piles,diabetes,
constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders,ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160 ml glasses of water,

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes,

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal,

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours,

5. Those that are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by
taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a more healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:

1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Gastric - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days

7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate
a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay Healthy and Active.

This makes sense. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water, maybe it is time we also adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!

Nothing to lose, everything to gain,

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold
drink after a meal.

However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the
digestion. Once this 'sludge'reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine
faster than the solid food.

It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot
soup or warm water after a meal.


Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

i believe that if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that
we'll probably save at least one life.

**Please be a true friend and send this article to all the people you care about, I just did!!!** [color=#000099][/color]

Siena:
Sweetheart, that's the point exactly, I could kiss you!

I like your point.

I find it very hard to see why people don't see reasons, why we should be glad that a white woman is singing two Yoruba Christian songs. first we should be glad that she is praising God in our own language which some of us born in Nigeria can not do, and at the same time, for her to praise God in Yoruba which is not a major language in Nigeria i feel we should see reason to be happy about it, for we all know that English is the major language in Nigeria which it is also the major language of all this other countries we try to copy. with this you should know that a white man or woman will not be moved if you speck English to her/him or you sing in English, for they know it is our major language. so for me i am glad that a white woman is singing in my native language.

Take this tory brighten ya morning!
Jesus send Judas make Judas go buy him one whole roasted chicken.

Judas go Nigeria go bring roasted fowl wey get na only one leg.

So Jesus ask am say, "Where one leg of dis fowl?" Wey Judas don chop am.

Judas say, "Jesus, if I tell you, you no go believe, but all fowl for
Nigeria get na one leg."

Jesus say, "Come go show me."

Judas take Jesus go to Nigeria for rainy season because when rain dey fall,
fowl dem dey ever stand with one leg for keep warm.
Time when dem reach Nija, Judas show
Jesus a group of fowl dem under rain wey all dem stand with one leg under rain.

So Judas say, "You see de ting wey I dey tell you?"

So Jesus laugh, he pick up one stone and shoot the group of fowl dem; the
fowl dem fear run away.

As Judas see say Jesus don catch him for lie, to cover up he say,
"Chei, Jeeesus, you no dey tired to make miracle?"

Have a wonderful day at work today.

GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS.

Love, like a river, will cut a new path whenever it meets an obstacle.

To live without loving is to not really live.

As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral. As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you: I had no control over.

No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.

Harmonizing heart and brain through love is what can establish a complete intelligence, a complete self, where a child can look at life and realize there are no dead ends, there are always possibilities. The greatest gift a parent can give a child during all the ups and downs of life is love.

The quarrels of lovers are like summer storms. Everything is more beautiful when they have passed.

Love is like a mustard seed; planted by God and watered by men.

Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to love.

Love is born of faith, Lives on hope, And dies of charity.

Love is when you're in their arms and everything just fits.

I don't want to live-- I want to love first, And live incidentally.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Love is something eternal, The aspect may change, But not the essence.

Love is like a thread, slender and frail, but when woven together with another creates a sail which carries the ship of the heart to its sea of endless love, together.

You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

You are the brightest part of my day and the warmest part of my night.

Love is strong yet delicate. It can be broken. To truly love is to understand this. To be in love is to respect this.

I love you simply because it's you,

When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

Love is the best medicine, and there is more than enough to go around once you open your heart.

Love cannot only be found in the good times, but also when are able to stay strong after a storm.

Our true identity is to love without fear and insecurity. Our higher potential finds us when we set our course in that direction. The power of love and compassion transforms insecurity.

Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more
than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.

Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.

Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session.

We sat side by side in the morning light and looked out at the future together.

Love isn't just for the smart of talented, but for all the amimals God created.

Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.

True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Love is like a mountain, hard to climb, but once you get to the top the view is beautiful.

Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and an day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less.

In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?

It breaks your heart to see the one you love is happy with someone else, but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.

Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds and warming your soul.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

If love is the answer, can you please repeat the question ?

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Faith makes all things possible. Love makes them easy.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much perfoms much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

Love is smiling on the inside and out. Love is a moment that lasts forever.

To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.

I believe that to truly Love, is the ultimate expression of the will to live. A heart that truly loves is forever young.

Love isn't blind; it just only sees what matters.

In all that we do let us do it for love.

Love makes life so confusing, but without love would you really want to live?

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Love that is true never grows old.

Love is friendship set on fire.

Do you love me because I am beautiful or am I beautiful because I am loved?

Love is the force that ignites the spirit and binds teams together.

Love reminds you that nothing else matters.

Where there is great love there are always miracles.

Love me now, love me never, but if you love me, love me forever.

To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.

A Friend's Love says: " If you ever need anything, I'll be there." True Love says: " You'll never need anything; I'll be there."

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.

Three things of life that are most valuable - Love, self-confidence & friends.

Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

Love is a decision not an emotion or feeling, that if made from the heart will outlast anything.

Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice.

Love is like heaven, but it can hurt like hell.

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

Love is more than a feeling; it's a state of mind.

He taught me how to love, but not how to stop.

Love is like a blazing flame, golden and full of warmth.

In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is the most fatal.

Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notions of time; effaces all memory of beginning, all fear of an end.

The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

A bell is not a bell until someone rings it, a song is not a song until someone sings it.

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Many a young lady does not realize just how strong her love for a young man is until he fails to pass the approval test with her parents.

What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things.

Love wasn't put in the heart to stay, for love isn't love 'til you give it away.

Is it better for a woman to marry a man who loves her than a man she loves.

Love is like a piece of art work, even the smallest bit can be so beautiful.

No one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

Love is sweet, delicate, dreamy an eternity of gorgeous moments.

Where there is love, there is God also.

Romance is the fuel that keeps love burning hot.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Love, The key that unlocks the bars of impossibility.

Love cures people -- both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

No matter what, no matter where, it's always home, if love is there.

Real love is feeling like being a part of that person's life almost isn't enough. It's more like a feeling that you would live in the same skin with them if you could and share every thought, heart beat, and emotion as one.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Love is when you look into someone's eyes and see their heart.

When they asked me what I loved most about life, I smiled and said you.

Love is something you can't describe like the look of a rose, the smell of the rain, or the feeling of forever.
