Naija na real basket case of mess and chaos robbing off on all of us...nothing can be worse than giving a poorly trained policeman a gun.

Money meant for providing essential services like roads, hospitals and security - equipping & training police - is siphoned off byMr big man and a crony. Crony becomes vulnerable to bad hospitals, bad roads, bad schools as Mr big man junkets off to other countries to enjoy these facilities. Meanwhile policeman forms an opinion that any "comfortable" Nigerian is "a crony" and with this misconception, are always inclined to "shoot first and ask questions later".

Whenever you are stopped by a policeman in Nigeria, please roll down your glass, wear a big smile and let them know we are all stitched up in this mess together even if you're driving a Ferrari. Emphasis on wear a big smile.

RIP to the departed.

despite the fact that nigeria police are largely incompetent,if this eye witness account is true then the victim would have been shot by any police officer in the usa.
people must understand that the men is uniform are marked men and they dont know who is who.when they stopped him why didnt he roll down the glass and put off the engine?in the us if a police officer stops u ,u must put off the engine and place ur hands on the steering.we are in a period where police are killed in drive by shootings and most especially the nation is battling against a terrorist group which has been reported that it has expanded to the west.what was the guy doing with foreign passports?well that is not our issue.the victim asked for it.
anytime u are stopped by a police officer ,park well ,switch off ur car engine and talk to them politely,the victim did none ,they were talking to him he was smilling,he didnt roll down and neither did he switch off his car.

You don watch too much COPS reality t.v. It doesn't happen that way all the time. Truth is there are trigger happy policemen out there but most do follow protocols. They only ask you to put your hands on the steering wheel if it's very late in the night or if the occupants of the vehicle look suspicious. You don't get shot by an American police except if you pose a threat or you have a weapon on you in which most times you're asked to drop your weapon on the floor and lay flat on the ground far away from that weapon which is totally different from a Nigerian police officer intentionally shooting an unarmed man for no reason whatsoever.

I still cannot figure out why they carry Assault Rifles on a very routine patrol. You would be scared shitless if you accost these mofos on the highway. It looks like a scene out of Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan.

Govt, please give them cock and shoot pistoles.
Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by gamechanger1: 9:44am On Jun 11, 2013
Peeps please when you have dealings with police, just be wise and mature and calm whether you are right or wrong, no matter how annoying and provoking they are. These guys are irrational and unpredictable

Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by texaco1: 10:00am On Jun 11, 2013
it is better to argue with an armed robber than to argue with a nigeria police officer
these guys are angry,hungry,not well trained ,at times frustrated and looking for someone to vent their anger upon and the most dangerous of all they are armed with guns and live ammo
mere seeing u in a nice car with full ac on and music blasting all the way automatically makes them angry but due to their torn uniform they must behave it is up to you to try and pacify them by talking nicely to them and letting them realise that no be only dem d wahala dey catch,dat u too just dey manage am.anything they tell u to do ,JUST DO IT.if they ask for money ,give them if u have if u dont just promise them that next time u will settle dem.if u do this they will respect u .just like lagbaja song RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL.if u respect them they will respect u

Well, maybe texaco1 shouldn't have compared them with American police but if you read his comment again, you will realise that it's not absolutely senseless.

Re: Police Kill Man In Lagos For Driving Against Traffic by olutoluolu: 10:21am On Jun 11, 2013
I just believe that one day things will change for good in this country. Police force need proper orientation. The police men in this country need to be enlightened before they carry out operation. It is high time our government need to encourage graduates that are disciplined and not primary six or SSCe holder in black Uniform. #No Beef

Texaco I can't believe this!, did this just come from you??
This is total nonsense!, no american police will shoot a driver , I know what I'm saying, except he is a criminal in police uniform!
They will only shoot you when you have a gun with you and you resist or you attack them.
Since when was it a crime to smile??
Abi oga texaco u be police??

This their behavior is very bad!! Very very bad!

I pray you and all members of your immediate family meet this same fate. Your brain must be rotten if you somehow think it is justified for police to kill a man for driving against traffic and smiling.

This wouldnt happen in the states but even if it was the norm over there, does that make it acceptable?
