Contrary to report credited to two foreign bodies, The International Police Association and the Institute for Economics and peace, which described the Nigeria Police as the worst in the world, facebook user, Mr. Edet Ndifreke took to his facebook page to bear his views, stating that 'corruption in the police is the product of the Nigerian society therefore, whatever rating given to Nigeria police is a true representation of the Nigerian society.'

After
being disturbed by the media houses I choose to like for their news update to
keep me informed about the happenings in the society,the news about the
competency test of the Nigeria police being rated as the worst in the world has
gone trending more than the real issues Nigeria is facing as a country .
I
want to depart from their premise (the media) and sociologically state here
that Nigeria police is not a foreign police but rather as the name implies is
an indigenous agency that members are Nigerians working for Nigerians in
Nigeria. Therefore whatever rating is given to Nigeria police is a true
representation of the Nigerian society. The corruption in the police is the
product of the Nigerian society.
Using
a biological analogy (functionalism) to maintain my shift without any
prejudice, when a particular part of the biological system is corrupt, the sub
system is automatically corrupt. If anything affect an operating system the
whole system will be formatted. If anything happens to the eye the nose suffers
too..
Let
me emphatically state here that as Nigerians, we have not gotten it right
before in all successive government. Show me any agency in Nigeria that will
pass any global competency test .Is it the EFCC, ICPC, INEC, SENATE, REPS,
CUSTOMS, OR JUDICIARY? IS IT NAVY, AIRFORCE,, ARMY, FRSC, OR EVEN YESTERDAY
NSCDC? just name them.
Moreover
let me ask us some questions:The Popular Abacha loots that has placed Nigeria
in the blacklist of global corruption was he a police officer? The MRS ALISON
MADUEKE BILLION OIL LOOTS was it masterminded by the police? Olisa metuh,
Maina, Babachir lawal and their cohort was masterminded by the police? The
trillions of naira and billions of dollars found in judges quarters were all
kept by the police? The Ikoyi millions was kept in by the police? Why do we
always take sides when it comes to police issues? in fact our mind is corrupt
and as a matter of fact we need a psychologist for examination as a country.
I
will never support the police! Yes they are corrupt but their corruption is a
product of circumstances they found themselves! As the society are ,so as the
police are. visa vis! The product is garbage in garbage out. Have you asked
yourself why they become outstanding when they are on UN mission? Where is
Botswana police in peace keeping?
In
my conclusion, the Pm of the United Kingdom Cameron said and I quote
"Nigeria is fantastically corrupt " and our president gave a node to
that and said I know it is true we are corrupt.. Then what's the surprise that
this corrupt newspapers will not allow me to rest with their worthless
notifications. Unless and until the mother system "Nigeria society
"is fully formatted off the virus called "corruption" Nigerian
Agencies will not even have an "E" grade in future global competency
test. For Nigerians commenting ,blasting the police, there is no smoke without
fire. Ask BOTSWANA how their environment is before their success and then come
back to applaud Nigeria police!!!
