Following the recent increase in extrajudicial killings by his colleagues, A Abayomi Shogunle has advised Nigerians to henceforth stop speaking Queens English to police officers that accost them on duty.

Abayomi in his post wrote;

"For now, don't go and be speaking Queen's English with them on the road. For proper understanding talk to them in Pidgin, another way to avoid kasala".

Very stupid talk!! But our stupidd and senseless police will listen to anyone with queens English and hard currency!

Time for the police and all its personnel to be overhauled for the good of this God forsaken country!!

Funny stuff

Bulllshit

We still have a long way to go in this country, God help us

Madness. Thanks for telling us police officers are illiterates

Very unreasonable comment.

What has queens English got to do with killing of innocent youths?

I'm seriously questioning the IQ of this guy.

Tired of Being Single and Emotionally Lonely BUT seriously ready for MARRIAGE? THEN HIT ME ON THE PLATFORM OF LOVE FOR GENUINE MATCHMAKING

This couple on our official DP on Whatsapp and Telegram are basking wonderfully in the beauty of their marriage. They met, fell in love and got married on the platform of love and will be celebrating their ONE YEAR anniversary in a couple of months from now. A couple other wedding preparations are underway for couples who were connected on the platform of love already and more and more matchmaking connections are happening EVERY SINGLE DAY because we mean serious business of love matchmaking. NO JOKE!

You still a doubting Thomas? We just can't help your 'next level of thomasicological infracbrouhaha'

NOTE THIS: If you are not ready for serious relationship, if you are looking for 2nd wife, if you are looking for sugar mummy, sugar daddy or sugar baby, if you are a married man or woman looking for 'sarawagba' (we have chased out and embarrassed over 30 married men from the platform so far) and if you are not ready to to your details. PLEASE DONT BOTHER ING BECAUSE WE DONT WANT OR ACCEPT ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY AFFECT THE WELL BEING OF OUR DEAR !

Hmmmm

Is he a police guy?

If yes, shame on him

How did this become police officer....well this says it all...if an educated senior officer can make this outrageous statement...then u should not b surprised with the actions of the illiterate junior officers that is giving the masses great problems ...there must be some sort of evil spirit that possesses anyone that s the Nigerian police

So all the SARS officers do not understand English but Pidgin?

Who did this to us?

And if I can't speak pidgin?? I should act dumb and deaf? Nonsense!

Nothing wey we no go hear for this our country.
How about I speak Esan language to them to avoid kasala So I need to speak a particular language to people I pay with my tax in order to avoid getting killed?

Some people will not listen they will be criticising without proper understanding, I notice that most of those that are killed are not well dressed, or with tattoos or earrings

In sane countries this stupid goat will be fired or forced to resign.

Our official language is English and yet we are not to communicate in the language cos we don't want to get into trouble with the Police if we do.

SHITHOLE country.

Of course, this story will sell as it's been reported.
But for a moment, back off and dare to ask...
"Could this truly be what he said?"

It's a tough thing to do, but once you get to the position of questioning our 21st century news "facts," you'd be surprised to discover how brilliant you've become.

I think he's right, Pidgin English is widely spoken in Naija.

The educated and uneducated have an idea speaking Pidgin English.

Language is one of the entities that causes disunity in any Nation. Pidgin English can be the uniting chord we've been missing.

After all, majority Lagosians speaks Pidgin.

Am I making any sense at all?

Lol

Actually, I only use Queen's English to interact with policemen when flagged down. In fact once I get to any legal or illegal checkpoint and they stop me, I greet them and speak in plain English, so they know they are dealing with someone who is educated enough to put them in trouble. They don't give me troubles.

If every car driver speaks pidgin to police, they'll treat all of us like unlearned Danfo drivers, whom they bully Upandan.

I once approached an illegal checkpoint and was flagged down by the policeman, before he could utter a word I said 'Hello officer, I'm an activist and a journalist', the police guy mellowed, and said 'Ah Oga, you can go, Abeg write well oo'. I drove off and bursted into laughter.

On my way back, the useless police guys don Japa!

Stupid fool. Such an annoying statement

The worst police force on the face of the earth. How will they be able to read and understand the police laws if they can't speak English?

Why won't there be extra Judiciary killings and kidnap for ransom.

There are lots of intelligent Nigerians that are fit, sound and can speak and understand good English, that are dying to get a job with the police.
But man know man will fill up the police force with illiterates.
