It is the story of the dilemma a typical policeman faces daily in Nigeria.  They are not respected by the people they protect day and night, yet we cannot do without them.

Let us read this story I COPIED before coming back to my COMMENTS.

READ FULL STORY>>

*WHO IS A POLICE OFFICER?*

Listen to this short story….

“A Police officer was shot dead and was lying in a pool of blood, when a boy and his father watched the scene.
The boy asks his father:
Who is this man?
I don’t know, son, I just know, that he was a Police.
The young boy approached a person who was dressed in a beautiful uniform different from the others, very elegant.
It was the Commander of the Unit where the Police worked.

The boy took his hand and asked:
*Who is a Police Officer??*
The Officer responded in a trembling voice and his eyes were full of tears:

A Police is a person who sleeps less than many people, endures cold, sun, rain, hunger, and there are times that he/she has no holidays, Sallah, Christmas, New Year and many other important moments.

He/she is far away from the family, their children when they are sick, or their husband/wife as well as their parents and siblings.

A Police (Senior or Junior rank) receives insults, physical assaults, they cry, suffer, endure thousands of scares and many more things that happen, to them in their line of duty.
But when he leaves for his job, very early, he does not know if he will return home alive.

.. This is part of what a Police is.
(Suddenly he heard the sound of a phone that rang in the pocket of the deceased.
The officer left the child for a moment to take the cell phone. When he saw it, he realized that it was his home.
He saw that it was a message, and in a very low voice he read:
“Hello Daddy, I took my mother’s cell phone to write this message:

*Such is the life of a “Police.”*
Whatever their Unit, whether operational or administrative.
If you can commend their effort to our people, instead of criticizing them
They will value the effort of a Police,
If you have a family member or friend who is a Police or Soldier, take a moment to say this..
I still maintain my statuesque
POLICE IS STILL OUR FRIEND
“I appreciate Nigerian police force.
God bless Nigerian Police.”

MY COMMENTS:

This is highly touching.

I empathize with the police because there are many fine officers out there that are doing their jobs professionally without asking for a dime. I had such experirnce when I had issues with a guy who swindled me when I was in Lagos.

But few among the police officers rubbish the efforts and achievements of all others

I told a policeman some days ago,

“I pitied the police because they do thankless jobs. They are never appreciated. Every issue is on them. When they are killed, the society behaves as if they were never born by any parent or they do not have families.”

The police too need more of orientations, retraining on how to relate with people politely and how to improve on their human relationship.

They are the products of a society that tell lies, a society where corruption is endemic. How else can one expect a perfect Police?

Some of them get frustrated because they are not well compensated or renumerated for the jobs they do come rain come shine. Their frustration bounce back on the defenceless Nigerians instead of those who denied them of their emoluments because theirs is OBEY THE LAST ORDER.

Government is not being fair to them, when they rolled out bad policies and the people are angry they call out thesame police against their fellow brothers and sisters.
Where would the friendship come?

Remember that we engage the police when husbands and wives had issues, although the police was not there when they were having their honeymoon. We quickly rushed to the police anytime any business relationship between partners go wrong although the police was not there when the business was sealed. We call the police when there is chaos and pandemonium, the police will rush there at the risk of their lives. Some may never come back alive. When there is robbery attack, kidnapping, ritual cases and all other vices in the society, who do we run to? The Police.

Before the MASSACRES in Lekki, no one cares when the police are being killed and roasted alive. At any slighted provocations, the police becomes the victims as if they are not part of us.

Gone are the days when the police misbehaves and get away with it, that has been a thing of the past with the advent of the social media. The leadership is always quick in dealing with erring officers as a deterrent to others.

CONCLUSION, the police is our friend, they belong to us, they are our friends, our brothers and sisters. They are human beings like we are, let us empathize with them. Let us embrace them henceforth.

Let the good relationship start from here by making this known to the public.

This is for the police, when you are asked to go and deal ruthlessly with the people we voted for, remember too that those people are Nigerians like you are.  Remember that we are suffering under same bad governance that prompted negative reactions. Remember that we pay your salaries from the taxes we pay.  We pay for the guns and ammunition you use, don’t use it against defenceless Nigerians who do not have any criminal tendencies.

Kudos to all Nigerian security agents.

We are supposed to be friends, we should be friends, we must be friends to make Nigeria a better place to live.
