Can't we stand up to defend our right?

[Churchillvv]

First what we need to know is what part of the arm force is involved in this action because I believe that the army, airforce, and naval officers wouldn't patronize such stupidity. But when we talk about Nigerian police we can see that happen everyday. One thing is that most of the people that are being mistreated are people with low knowledge of the law or constitution, if you can defend yourself very well you wouldn't be harassed and sometime this guys are always the cause of there problem because as a hound man why will you be dressing in a way that you have to be harassed.

I have seen a young boy quote the law to the extent that police who were harassing him began to beg not that he had an important personnel but was a smart and intelligent citizen who knew the law very well, using it to defend himself. It's not just about knowing ones right but it's also about speaking them out, if a protest is conducted you guys who say we should stand up for our right will be the one to stay home without coming out.

I just pray a lot of people know the way the rules are applied and then this men on black would not longer keep harassing us.

There is something that has become a serious concern to me and I can't help but share it here. It's about how the military and security agencies treats most youth on the street just because they dress or look a certain way that appear rich. There had been several instances where an average youth had been molested and his privacy infringed upon just because of the way he dresses and sometimes because he is driving an expensive car. Should we now dress messy or board a public vehicle when we have the means of driving our own?

What informed this topic is the incident that I witnessed while returning from work this evening where a young guy was heavily slapped and embarrassed just because he dresses a certain way and when he was stopped and asked to unlock his phone he refused doing so and told them they where infringing om his privacy.

Is it even right for the police to forcefully attempt getting access into our mobile device? Isn't that an infringement on our privacy?

You are fully rectify this situation has been going on for a very long periods of time, everyone's has the right to freedom from discrimination, right to freedom of speach, be yourself don't let anyone keep you behind, but now this country has been turned upside down that even yourself can never imagine now everything has changed if you try to make a better place for Nigeria you will be seen as a victim they might got you killed or sentence to jail, all because they have money there will see you as nobody to stand against them.

All this security officers just dey misused their power anyhow. Thank God say you sef has witnessed that yourself, sometimes if you see trending videos online where this securities are harassing the youths, you will even take some as a joke. I always wondering that if their job is to protect us or make them use their power against us? Like their own is getting out of hand, how can a youth with his own money cannot enjoy his life? But i still do blame our governments for all this because some of this security job not all are well paid, imagine dey said Police dey collect money pass army, sometimes they use to survive with the money they use to collect for the youths, if they only depend on their salary they cannot achieve anything in this life.

As the citizens we have the right to defend ourselves, but we need to very careful in this country, because you fit have right and they won't allow you to talk, son of nobody no fit defend himself for this country, except God dey with you. You see waiting dem dey call government fear them, let just avoid anything wey go land us in any trouble wey go involve governments.

Most of this security agent do misused their power. They should be there to protect the citizens but instead they are the ones harrassing the citizens because of their selfishness and greediness. A police doesn't have any right to search ones phone unless in a serious cases were investigation are to be made on such person. I don't really blame them, i blame our government because we youth has tried to fight this several times but they didn't do anything about it. What causes the government to creat an avenue to report any security agent that try to harrass any citizen in such manner.

One thing that our guys is doing now our days is not good at all, they are the ones telling police or army that dey are rough because you as a civilian you are  not suppose to put on army uniform for any reason, because (number 1 you are not an army man). Somethings when see a guy that is putting on army uniform I used to laugh because they didn't know what dey  are doing..

My brother,you know Nigeria is a lawless country where many things happen  in the case of standing to fight for our right you can never get it ,95%of Nigerians has enter the so called yahoo plus and this has been one of the problem this country is facing, people die here and their due to yahoo boys on the street now,the world has changed,so if someone ask you to unlock your cell phone let them check if you are one of those boys

Is just very simple give them your phone to clear your self ,in this country their are some dress you don't put on , because if you do ,you will be tag yahoo boy in the eyes of the military men

Their was a day I was going home from abia state to port Harcourt
Due to how I dressed almost all the check point they check me only me ,my bags my pocket my phone's,they check me all over ,I said okay maybe this is as a result of my dressing you see

So as I was coming back ,I just where shot and one local cloth so when I pass them they will not longer suspect me because I hate it ,it was so embarrassing checking only me
And the way they do it ,they do it asive is their right due to the recent happening,mined the way you dress,
Dress very nice with native attire,they can't suspect you,many hungry guys on the street has open the eyes of police ,they suspect everything and everyone now ,due to Yahoo boys,with this where will you start from why fighting for your right ,even when your government has fail you ,the best thing one can do is just to be a good man,when you meet them or them meet you,just be very plan ,to do what they ask you to do I think they can't beat or molece you

So you can't fight for your right,at all
Many things are happening bro ,this country is a lawless country where law can be broken anyhow even to those who enforce the law .
What can you do,just be your self ,since you are not a yahoo boy mined how you dress and how you talk you will be free from so call military men

Don't ever come out to pledge for the truth because you might not like the repercussions you would recieve. Nigeria is not just like other countries, rather its getting worse as the day and years passes by. Defending our rights in Nigeria? A country that everyone have something to fight for but they choose to remain silence due to the corrupt actions of the police, the ones that's embedded with the rights to protects the citizens of this country are actually the ones that have been disturbing the peace of the people and this have become one of the tough challenges for everyone.

[odunybiz]

Do we have right in Nigeria? You only have right if you are rich and famous. This made me to remember a senerio that happened in my area where some bricklayers where beaten and arrested by police for no reason. Just because they claim to fight for their right, the police later arrested them that they are abusing their boss. You will only suffer under your right if you are poor or not famous in this country.

Nigeria case no be small case oo… why majority of people can’t stand up to the because someone on fire arm have to be respect and been follow gentle so he don’t just kill and say it’s a criminal which the caught doing something and normal can be said to defend or to protect there bad act and character.we should try to avoid some problem and do some little coperation with them.but normally police aim are to protect life and property..but now there action have gone beyond,but trying to extort money from hustling youths even with the low employment in the country.

That is actually true.the rate at which this men behave whenever people fall into there hands is not really good. Expecially when. They see that you have something to offer which look surprisingly to them. Most at time innocent people fall into trouble for what they don't know. The example of what you are saying happens today when we where heading to a wedding ceremony today. The police detained our vehicle simply because our driver didn't look responsible. We begged him to release him for us to attend the wedding but they where sticked to what they decided on. After which they took some money from us and said it was fine of the law we violated after detaining us for over 1Hours. So what they are doing is affecting us.

For this our country, I no sure say our fundamental human right dey exist again o, because if person dey abuse your right and u talked dem go fit lock u up or kill u self or fit no dey reason ur matter, now we no get mouth to talk say this one na my right so I go talk or do as I want. Even right to express ourselves no dey again, if our government do wetin we no like, we no fit express ourselves, even if we express self, they go still do wetin dey their mind without minding if we are okay with it or not, so what is the essence than just looking at them, mk them do their own, and also make we just live our lives and leave them alone, because corruption don plenty for this country and no body go stand for u, dem no go dey if things turn out wrong, dem no go hear say u dey right o
