Does this even make sense? They are dismissed because they asked oyibo for money but we Nigerians face same fate daily, infact we are forced to give money and i guess we are expected to jump and applaud the men in black for this eye service?

immortalcrown:
Good.

But the NPF pretends to not know the extortion happens in every checkpoint. Aiding and abating.

Someone said, "Na who dem catch be thief". Their modus operandi is, "Stealing is allowed, but getting caught is a crime".

The guy doing the dismissal is more corrupt than the dismissed

The people who aren't corrupt in the police in the whole federation ar not up to 100.

Their act was a national disgraced.
May we not be victim of circumstances.

God will punish that Dutch rider

God will open another way for him

Be like say your papa na police?

socialmediaman:


Soldier come, soldier go. If you can’t do the job well, someone can do it better. It’s just plain false to think that most Nigerians will act the same way if put in the same position, after all, she passed other police checkpoints and some policemen let her pass without any harassment

So do police not collect 50 Naira again at all checkpoints
Did your teachers not steal toilet roll and Izal and your cold water
Has sex for grades stopped
Do you pay official rate for passport or driving license
Do tailors deliver what they promise
Are Ibo boys not selling fake
Are ppl kidnapping
Student union extortion
Estate agents
Oxygen guy in hospital
Doctor lawyers engineers, the list goes on
We are crooked society Bruh and we are reaping what we are sowing

Just say power never reach most ppl hand

Na body cam that oyingbo use

The problem no be sày dem ask because even the oga patapata of dem all dey task motorist normal normal, the problem be say the video cast dem. All this one na smoke screen to deceive outsiders say no be normal thing.

Egunje people!


Meanwhile how much was Nyesom Wike's salary for 8 yrs and where did he get d money he used to purchase form for all the PDP candidates in River State?

I can bet 95% of Nigerian Police officers are guilty of this same crime. Police and bribery are 5&6!

Oh! Now I get it... These 2 men are NOT regular police officers but men of the police constabulary and this is why the Oyo State Commissioner of Police said in the video that they were NOT procecuted.

It's time for both men to head right back to cocoa farming...

Say no to bribery and corruption.
What a shame!

Cromagnon:
is it not the same ppl that will reapply.
Are they different from teachers, lectures , civil servants that were extorting us when we were in primary and secondary school, university or when we want to collect passport or drivers license

Other people will reapply, with stringent rules. There's a reason that policemen in some countries are mandated to wear body cameras. Things can change if the government is serious about making changes

noraly don cause trouble

I'm happy on one side and not happy on another side considering their family

Xinox:
This life no balance at all. I felt sorry for these poor police constables. I watched that video 📸 and to me, those guys were jovial about the whole stuff. E be like they are just unfortunate. I wonder how they will face their families now. I am in pains, though I don't know any of them 🥲

story. Let them extort you one day amidst their colleagues with guns and your pity will go down the drain cos they won’t have any pity for you. The only reason why they were jovial with her is because she is foreign.

Berankis:
This is a case of the Nigerian Police using these poor guys as Scapegoats. At least, for the first time, I am heartbroken by this particular dismissal. What they did was improper but they were playful and friendly at it. It all appeared like a joke! But this dismissal is serious!! This still doesn't stop the Nigerian Policemen from being notorious, just come to my area starting from Area M Police Command Idimu (these ones are so daring - they blatantly create gridlock down to Egbeda, mounting illegal stop and search from dusk to dawn), Ikotun Police Station (these ones arrested and assaulted me years back while I was in NYSC Uniform, for carrying a Laptop without receipt and I haven't forgiven them for it), Igando (Igando Police State should be disbanded! they are completely useless, mount road block from 9am to 7pm), Isashi (Isashi Police Station should be demolished for harbouring lawless men in uniforms), Agbara down to Badagry.

Do you know the difference between these men and the ones at your area it’s because she was foreign. If it was a Nigerian esp a guy, they will treat him roughly. Do not feel
Pity for them. They won’t pity you if they are amongst their colleagues with guns.

That serves them right.

Nigeria + two armed robbers = Increased robbery.

From now on all police men will be afraid of Camera carrying vehicles.😂
Na to go buy Camera dummy put for my car make I see how dey one ask for money 😂

Dismiss them because she's a foreigner abi

Why do are we double standard

So unfair

Nigeria is now becoming good. .. inec waec and neco supervisors collecting money from principals and student to allow exam malpractice. Inec men rigging election to be dismiss. But again this girl was not forced to give money.. this girl was not harrassed. But if it wer to be in the north she could have been kidnap by men wearing uniform..i m sure the public disgrace of the video is killing the two officers already. And that region wer dey came from are noted for such empathy feeling. "How is family" " give me something."

Duchy... Someone can not play with you...?

Sharmeenator:

But they didn't go viral like this

So you don't think this would make other policemen start smashing recording devices when on roadblock

Oga, even 200N they reject it.

This old men just join police?.

Dittodat:


You are missing the point. I'm sure there are some decent and ethical Nigerians but they are very few. The fact is that the majority of Nigerians will steal if given the opportunity especially if they think that they can get away with it. Most are stealing even though they know that there's a very good chance of getting caught.
No society is 100 percent corrupt or ethical but you need a vast majority of your people to be ethical to have the kind of institutions like police to be good. If the vast majority are corrupt then you cannot have a good police force and other institutions. It's not the top people that make your society run smoothly, it's the everyday police officer, civil servant, immigration officer, court clerk, petrol attendant, Nurse in the hospital, the Doctors at public hospitals, etc. If these are not ethical and are corrupt, you can have all the laws you want, but it will still be a messed up system. That's just the reality of life.
Compare the average Scandinavian to the average Nigerian or African. And most Scandinavians are not rich by the way but they are usually satisfied with what they have.

Very well said! And someone actually disliked your comment. These Nigerians have a long way to go.

😹😂..”3 paces backward march”
“Ah,they did not know that
One oo..just draw them back”
Walahi,naija na cruise..

chigoziri2403:
At this rate, they will be dismissing ten per week

creating room for more employment

Beverlyjean:
Because she is a foreigner.... western countries will say " my citizens first" ... Nigeria will say " western citizens first"

Were they suppose to demand for money?

That was how I make sure one useless police man for Adeniji Adele police station was dismissed. For extorting my nephew.

Noraly Schoenmaker (aka. ItchyBoots), a brave lady travelling alone by motorcycle & video documenting her journey, has - with few exceptions - been shown enduring kindness & helpfulness by the people she has met throughout her adventure ride through Africa.

Unfortunately, across much of Africa, official corruption, especially by police at roadside checkpoints, is something of a perennial problem, e.g. everything from asking money for "Cold water", through to threats with intimidation, etc.

In this particular instance, a direct demand for cash - delivered by a somewhat large, brusque & intimidating Nigerian policeman - was dealt with by Noraly with her characteristic politeness & humour. Nevertheless, the encounter does little to dismiss the enduring image of corruption, by officialdom, within Africa in general and in Nigeria in particular.

That said and contrary to that negative image, if one watches the ItchyBoots videos, one will see that many of Noraly's checkpoint interactions have been all of polite, kindly, humorous & professional.

Such a shame then that - because of one idiot policeman - that specific encounter (by confirming the stereotype of the corrupt Nigerian policeman) tarnishes & diminishes all those other checkpoint encounters where the police officers have, to their credit, behaved in a courteous & professional manner.

Whilst 'dismissal' of those two police officers might seem somewhat harsh, a strong message of deterrence needs to be sent to others of their ilk whom might be tempted to indulge in similar such acts of attempted extortion, friendly or otherwise.

Whether attempts at extortion are committed against Oyibo's / Obroni's / Muzungo's / Twobobs or 'local' people (where locals, for sure, suffer the most from it), corruption corrodes decent society and it has to be stopped, for the good of all !
