So yesterday on my way back to Ibadan from abk, I was stopped my men of the NPF for no tangible reason. A female police officer asked for my papers. So I gave them to her, only to be told that I cannot use my left hand to give her something and I should switch to my right hand.

For context and to emphasise how utterly ridiculous this was, this woman is in my age group. Told her I am left-handed and if it makes her more comfortable, she can collect the papers with her left hand as I really don't care. Mama insisted I switched to my right hand by force.

Of course I didn't budge so next thing I'm hearing is I don't have home training and she will give it to me��. Of course my head sparked and things escalated from there. I asked her if she was a law enforcement officer or a yoruba culture enforcer, cos make it make sense.

She eventually collected my papers and drivers licence with her left hand and held on to them for over 40mins. Her colleagues kept telling her if there was nothing wrong with my papers she should give me and let me go, but mama's inner coconut head did not gree.
Kept telling me what am I feeling like? Who do I think I am? She has four kids and I'm not even fine sef�

It was amazing to behold.

Anyways, as the coconut head that I am, I told her I know my rights and she is a bully and I won't take it. She kept insisting I will sleep there.

Kept threatening to beat me up, kept saying all sorts of things to me, even said she is sure that I cannot have husband. It was an amazing show of shameless unprofessional conduct. Unfortunately she wasn't even wearing a name tag on her uniform.
Anyways I stood there and kept telling her she is a bully and I'm.not going to take it. Eventually, her male colleague intervened and I got my papers and licence back. As I entered my car to drive off, the policewoman legit stuck out her tongue at me��

It was an experience.

Anyway, the whole point of this is that the @PoliceNG cannot be reformed. Disband them and give us state police. Thank you so much for coming to my TED talk.

I asked her if she was a law enforcement officer or a yoruba culture enforcer

Truth to be told, YORUBA culture forbid that, because its an insult to her,
but as a law enforcement officer and also in this 21st century as well, i think its not a big deal.

NIGERIAN POLICE DO FEEL LIKE GOD SOMETIMES

Most Nigeria female police officers are depressed, pained, ugly and dirty, they just have this feeling of hate in them cause most of them can't enjoy the way other Normal women are enjoying, they are filled with jealousy. If you look well cobweb dor full their kpekus.


If you dor enter cell before you will understand what I'm saying, them nor dey hear abeg, and most of them dey smell bad.

Your story first of all, funny, then again, reflects the sad reality of the Nigerian society.

Mention one sector, industry or agency in nigeria that is not replete with rotten people.

At the rate Nigeria is going, one might be tempted to say that the entity, Nigeria may soon cease to exist!

If it’s anything I have come to agree that some Nigerians are highly sentimental and volatile in reasoning especially when it comes to drawing line between morality and law.

Now ask the policewoman to quote without ambiguity the exact law or code of conduct this citizen violated or abused then you would understand how bleeped up the interpretation of laws are usually confused with morality.

Morality can’t be quantified nor properly qualified as our cultural and religious beliefs and backgrounds are different and so we all can’t be assessed or judged based on morality. As a Yoruba man I am supposed to prostrate to greet an elderly person and would probably punished if I don’t do that (based on The unwritten but well accepted cultural code of the Yoruba people) this is a moral issue and it’s not applicable to other tribes and that’s why you can’t see such issue in the constitution.

For some reason, police women are by default frustrated. What is it about them? Like who caused their problem?

She is the one without home training. Imagine how such an ill mannered and frustrated person has access to guns.
