ELECTIONS AND THE POLICE IN NIGERIA…UNPREPARED AND WITHOUT A NATIONAL CHARACTER
In this article JOHN ODEY ADUMA resumes the series he has been serialising since 2013 on OF THE FOOLS OF THE MIDDLE BELT…and focuses on Nigeria, the most populous African nation on the planet earth as he sees her stumbling her way to the 2019 Elections without a strong, prepared, well equipped and sophisticated national police service, but a relic of the Hausa Constabulary of old, very thoroughly weakened by the successive governments in Nigeria, having to rely on the military to exhibit their braggadocio, browbeaten, emasculated/beheaded/decapitated, thoroughly confused, very disorganised, intimidated, timid and fearful, depersonalised without national character, without power, without authority and influence, very ill-equipped for the onerous tasks it is soon to be entrusted with, and despite this national tasks that lie ahead, no simulation exercises preparatory to the elections had been carried out in the last two-three years to determine its readiness and preparedness for the 2019 elections, and lying lazily prostrate like a toothless and a lazy bull dog that needs to lean its jaw against the wall before barking, it has shown to all the civilized world its very helplessness and crisis of identity!
