THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE WORKING PERFECTLY ACCORDING TO ITS MANDATE Your statement reflects a critical perspective on the role and function of the Nigerian police force, which has been a topic of significant debate and discussion in Nigeria over the years. Here are some points that contextualize this view: 1. Historical Context - {Colonial Roots} The Nigerian police force was established during colonial rule primarily to serve the interests of the colonial government, primarily for control and oppression rather than protection and service to the citizens. - {Post-Colonial Legacy} After Nigeria attained independence in 1960, the police inherited a structure and culture that often prioritized political control over public safety. 2. Public Perception and Trust - {Corruption} There are widespread reports of corruption within the police force, where bribes and extortion have become common practices. This undermines public trust and leads to a perception of the police acting against the interests of the community. - {Human Rights Violations} Numerous instances of brutality, extrajudicial killings (notably by units like the now-disbanded SARS - Special Anti-Robbery Squad), and abusive behavior towards the citizens have contributed to this negative perception. 3. The Safer Nigeria Initiative - {Protests and Advocacy} Movements such as #EndSARS have highlighted the grievances of citizens against police misconduct and have called for reform. These protests bring to light the demands of Nigerian citizens for a police force that protects rather than oppresses. - {Calls for Reform} There have been various calls from civil society for reforming the police, focusing on better training, accountability, and community policing as a means of restoring faith in the force. 4. Societal Impact - {Fear and Distrust} The perception of the police as an entity working against the masses creates an atmosphere of fear and distrust. This can lead to underreporting of crimes and reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement. - {Impact on Crime Rates} Distrust in the police may deter effective policing and thus contribute to rising crime rates as communities feel unprotected. 5. The Need for Reform - {Community Policing} There is a growing recognition that policing needs to be community-focused, transparent, and accountable to the people it serves. - {Legislative and Structural Changes} Effective reforms may require legal changes, restructuring the police hierarchy, and implementing new training programs to focus on human rights and community relations. Finally The sentiment that the Nigerian police force was designed against the Nigerian masses speaks to a broader issue of accountability, trust, and the need for substantial reforms within the police system. Ongoing dialogues, public protests, and calls for systemic change are crucial for reshaping the police force into an institution that genuinely serves and protects all Nigerians. A focus on community engagement, transparency, and accountability is essential for rebuilding trust and ensuring that the police serve their intended purpose.Since the Nigeria still not in control of the force nothing will be done to make it work , to me (JTT) I don't expect anything meaningful from them until Nigeria create her own police force.

He Collected #NECO Fees From An Entire School… Then Vanished, How Frank Odinaka Ezemonye Scammed Nearly ₦5Million and Crushed Students' Dreams Imagine preparing for one of the most important exams of your life. Imagine your parents sacrificing everything to pay your NECO registration fees — skipping meals, selling goods, borrowing money — all for your future. Now imagine the man who collected those fees disappears without a trace. That’s not a scene from a Nollywood crime thriller. This is real. And it happened right here in Nigeria. --- 🎓 A Whole School Scammed Frank Odinaka Ezemonye, a man now accused of pulling off one of the most heartless frauds in recent memory, allegedly approached a school as a trusted NECO registration agent. He collected fees from dozens of students — almost ₦5 million in total — with promises to register them for their exams. But when the deadline came… he was gone. No registrations. No explanations. Just silence — and shattered futures. --- 💔 Broken Dreams, Devastated Families Now, these students — many of whom come from low-income families — are left unregistered and helpless. Their futures hang in the balance, all because of one man’s greed. Some of these students may miss an entire academic year. Some may drop out altogether. And some may never recover from the betrayal. This isn't just about money. This is about stealing dreams, destroying trust, and sabotaging lives. --- 🧾 The Digital Trail Insiders suggest that part of the money may have been paid through digital platforms, possibly via Opay — a popular mobile money service. This opens up a chance for the authorities and the fintech company to trace the funds and expose the culprit. But time is ticking. The exams are close. And silence is dangerous. --- ⚖ Where Are the Authorities? Where is the outrage? Where is the investigation? Why is this man still free? This is a call to law enforcement, education authorities, and financial regulators: 🔍 Trace the funds. ⛔ Freeze his accounts. 👮 Bring him in. Frank Odinaka Ezemonye must not get away with this. --- 📢 We Will Not Be Silent We refuse to let this slide. These children deserve justice. We demand accountability — not just for the stolen money, but for the years this scam could steal from the lives of these students. Let this be a message to every fraudster preying on the Nigerian education system: > “You may escape for a while, but the people will find you. And when they do — you will pay.” --- 🧱 Share This. Raise Your Voice. This is not just a report. This is a movement to protect students, demand justice, and remind the nation: our future is not for sale. #JusticeForStudents #StopEducationFraud #NecoScam #NigeriaDeservesBetter #FrankOdinakaEzemonye
