It pains my heart (i write the way i feel) when on my way home from work i pass through some bus-stops (especially General and around Abule-egba bus-stops) and see "Nigerian Policemen" people with the motto "Police is your FRIEND" by themselves cause traffic jam just to collect some "change" from bus drivers. What an irony, these policemen are our "friends" and are the ones who cause the traffic jam(hold-up) we get stress out from. The worst part is the fact that these “uniformed officers don’t have any sense of pride or dignity. Gone are those days when the “Nigerian Police Force” uniform was respected and feared, those days when you don’t misbehave when you see an officer or when you almost pee on your pants if you are told an officer wants to see you, these days the force has been reduced to nothing, one should see how conductors talk to these officers when they are giving them “change”.
Not that fear is good but aba, this guys should at least respect the uniform they wear even if their greed and corruption (as well factors that affect the Force) has killed the pride and dignity a normal human should have (seriously these guys are not normal, because why would a normal “Man”, the head of a family stand in the middle of the road, stop vehicles, and start begging, it is another form of begging naow make we talk truth. Worse part of this kin begging bi say na by force dem dey one collect am).
I just imagine what would happen if there is an emergence situation in which someone has to be rushed to the clinic and they are stop by the hold-up these greedy cops with no sense of dignity cause just to collect N20 or N50.
