SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW
IBRAHIM KPOTUN IDRIS: THE ABANDONMENT OF DUTY
"Under his watch, Nigerians having lost confidence in the so-called Nigeria Police Force have turned themselves into many policing squads, where lives of fellow Nigerians are to them as flies to wanton boys, administering jungle justice and resorting to all sorts of bestiality, gangsterism and extra-judicial killings because the highly 97/5 Formula policing outfit in that country is now as DEAD as a DODO under this our square peg in a round hole!"
PART SIX
When men don't have ideas coming to such an exalted office like the others before him, especially in the most recent years they resort to this sort of *chicanery. Can someone in the Presidency ask this idiot to count the number of the national tv and radio stations in the country, including the NTA, both at national and states level and all of the states tv and radio stations and those of the major faiths in the country?
So why is a separate broadcaster for the police in Nigeria different to the plethora of the extant ones?
Has the idiot considered the badwagon effect of this malady on the nation's three military arms, including the para-military - customs and excise, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), Road Safety, or he thinks in conceiving this gross idiocy, these other institutions will not want to have their own separate civilian tv and radio stations? Even the National Youth Service Corp will want to have their own separate tv and radio stations.
Having counted the number of broadcasters currently in existence in Nigeria, can the President draw the ears of this dude that just having one effective CRIMEWATCH in one of these stations and if they know what to do, collaborating with correspondents covering the police beat in Nigeria, our policing system would move from its current reactive/kangaroo policing to one of creative/police-people policing - one that is proactive in nature.
This IGP must hang up his head in shame that before his very eyes ethnic police and the ALTERNATIVE ARMED FORCES IN NIGERIA (AAFN) that now abound in Nigeria are importing firearms by land, air and sea into the country on daily basis; he should be more ashamed of himself that before his very eyes the Nigerian State have been converted into a jungle, where as the great Nigerian poet, Chris Okigbo in his collection of Poem entitled: Path of Thunder had written, the jungle having been ravaged by elephants and peopled with snakes:
the snake says to the squirrel
I will swallow you
the mongoose says to the snake
I will mangle you
the elephant says to the mongoose
I will strangle you
This idiot should go to Iga Idungaran whereupon he shall be taught by Kabiyesi the art and science of jumping into the Lagoon, where having got drown, he will be washed away offshore in another land as he is thoroughly useless as far policing a multicultural and multi-lingual nation and the art of effective policing generally is concerned.
Whilst not yet dead, but sleep-walking and daily doing eye service, expecting accolades from the Presidency, even when he knows he is the ripe mango in the mouth of all criminals in Nigeria, West Africa and indeed, the whole of Africa and amongst the trans-atlantic criminal alliance.
The military in Nigeria have brushed him aside, knowing full well, one of those "rodents" we had been told had chased Chindo out of that "Lonely and High" office, is more equipped, bolder and more powerful than him, hence they have taken the job of counter-terrorism and general policing from him!
All the IGP does at Louis Edet House is to be drinking obrukutu (BKT), kunu (cow milk), eat suya (barbecued cow meat) and chopping goro (kola nut), and thereafter, falls asleep, snoring, waking up and continuing the rythm - falls asleep and keeps snoring, distubring the civil servants at the nearby Federal Secretariat.
Under his watch, Nigerians having lost confidence in the so-called Nigeria Police Force have turned themselves into many policing squads, where lives of fellow Nigerians are to them as flies are to wanton boys, administering jungle justice and resorting to all sorts of bestiality, gangsterism and extra-judicial killings because the highly 97/5 Formula policing outfit in that country is now as DEAD as a DODO under this our square peg in a round hole!
Whilst urging all Nigerians to stay strong and united at this hour, I say: May the Good Lord bless and keep our Nigeria and deliver her from all separatists' attempts to put a sword on the things that hold us together as a people.
ON THE STATE OF THE NATION FOR THE EARS OF EMPEROR DAURA
Never man swallows a croccodile, rather it is the croccodile that swallows up man. Yea, the man is a fool who tries to swallow up a porcupine. Even yet the dragon never purchased its fire from the shelf of a supermarket. More, it is not a bad idea to have panda in one's zoo.
