ReplyDeleteSome fair comments and some not so fair about the police. I wonder why the road blocks are back in full force. Is it that the I.G can only bark and can't bite ? Nigeria Government pls train and retrain the police, not traveling abroad but locally, they can train as many. Pls I am pained.
