A Nigerian man took to Facebook to narrate how some Lagos residents corrected some policemen including senior officers who wanted to impound his power bike while on his way to work.

According to Nmutaka Chikwendu, the team of 4 senior officers with guns could not say anything meaningful beyond “they sent us signal to arrest all bikes”.

The policemen reportedly refused reading the broadcast sent out by the Lagos state police command after a Good Samaritan came to his aid. It was also learnt that the policemen refused speaking to their superiors when the numbers in the broadcast were called.

The Facebook user wrote;

So…..I was heading to work this morning dodging massive potholes and meandering through heavy traffic. The Nigerian Police decided to arrest me because “bikes are banned”. The 2 things that stood out for me the most were:
1. The speed with which a huge crowd built up. Within a short while people were yelling at the cops. “Is this one okada”?
2. How unintelligent our cops are. A team of 4 senior officers with guns could not say anything meaningful beyond “they sent us signal to arrest all bikes”

A good Samaritan parked his car…showed them the broadcast sent by Lagos state police command. They refused to read it. He then called the numbers in the broadcast and the policemen refused to speak with their superiors. The man put his phone on speaker and we could all hear the police command asking if it was okada and the whole crowed roared “No!” Our street crew cops refused to budge. The Samaritan eventually called their DPO who asked them to release me….then they started looking for one Officer Ojo of Ifako police station who took my bike key and went away.

Crowd kept building…..policemen became scared. Tried to disperse crowd. People refused to budge. I actually started getting worried and started asking people to leave. They said they wouldn’t move until I was released. Eventually the Ojo fellow sauntered out with my key and I started my bike….revved it a few times which drew cheers from the crowd…..and continued heading to work.

A video making rounds online, captured moment some policemen arrested their colleagues for collecting bribe.

The policemen attached to the Nigeria Police special squad ‘Operation Puff Adder’ who stormed the scene in patrol vans, arrested the bribe-taking officers at Ijesha area of Lagos state.

Here is the viral video below;

Here’s a viral video of a policeman clinging to the bonnet of Danfo (commercial bus) after its driver sped off in Sabo, Yaba area of Lagos state.

Instagram user @theaplhaleke who shared the video, wrote; “Earlier today in sabo, yaba; what do you think happens when you refuse pay for officer’s lunch? Me I’m just saying oh… who knows, that asshole might actually committed a traffic offense”

Here is the video below;

A woman tore out a part of her bible and used it to smoke weed and she shared photos on Twitter for her followers to see.

Before she carried out the act, she shared a photo of the dried marijuana placed in the middle of an open bible.

“Forgive me lord,” she captioned the photo.

She went on to share other photos where she had torn out a page, put the weed inside, and rolled it to smoke.

She revealed that she tore out the part asking wives to submit to their husbands.

A Facebook user has objected to a post from another user stating that daughters are as important as sons.

The poster used Barack Obama, Kobe Bryant, and Mark Zuckerberg as examples of men who are not obsessed with having sons to continue their legacy because they do not need an offspring to do that for them. The poster went on to advice men to stop putting pressure on their wives to birth male children because female children are equally important.

But a Facebook user did not agree with the post and he dropped a comment to let the poster know his thoughts.

He wrote:

Male child is male child. If God blesses you with one or more, be happy…but if not, continue praying. One male child is worth more than ten daughters.Without a male child, your generation will go into extinction immediately you pass on.
“Even this poster will not be comfortable without a male child”

He also had support from a number of people who commented to let him know that they agree with his post.

Since Kobe Bryant’s death, the legendary basketballer has been used as an example of men who are proud to have daughters and did not give in to the pressure to have a son. Kobe always spoke highly of his daughters and once told of how people always encouraged him to have a son to take after him, but his daughter Gigi would always tell them that he doesn’t need a son for that because she’s got it.

Kobe, who had 4 daughters, usually referred to himself as a “Girl Dad” and since his death, the hashtag #Girldad has been used by a lot of men who have daughters. Men like Noble Igwe, who has two daughters, and Safaree Samuels, who recently welcomed his first child – a girl, and a lot of other fathers now proudly refer to themselves as girl dads while adding the #GirlDad hastagh to their posts.

But one Facebook user feels this act is us settling for “less”.

He wrote in reaction to the post about Kobe Bryant and how he valued his daughters:

It is quite embarrassing that a lot of us are turning into renegades.
In Nigeria, we leave much to settle for less. We hardly tell ourselves the truth. Hypocrisy and mediocrity seem to have come to settle with us.

Even this poster will not be happy seeing female children only around.
