"The police should relate with the public, but not as in partnering to establish a broadcaster, buy the police operational vehicles, build barracks, doing actual business together as pooling resources together to do business, doing such other dirty deals, save training and development, payment of their salaries by private citzens who of course, without mincing words are thieves, amongst them those still stealing the nation blind, and the ex-robbers, ex-drug pushers, ex-kidnappers who have now veered into seeming legitimate businesses."

Hey, October Is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 20 Cybersafety Tips, Advice For Nigerians

The United States of America designates every October as ‘’National Cyber Security Awareness Month’’ (NCAM). Initiated in 2004, the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a collaboration between government —the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — and private industry — the National Cyber Security Alliance, and other partners. The National Cyber Security Awareness Month campaign is aimed at raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity (safeguarding digital information) and to increase resiliency in the event of an incident. The United States President, Mr. Donald J. Trump proclaimed the October 2017 National Cybersecurity Awareness Month a while ago at the White House. The National Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign is now a global call to action. Canada, Europe and other countries have joined the fray. Africa, nay, Nigeria must take a cue.

PART 1

SERIES: BUHARISM AND THE SWIFT URGENCY OF NOW

In the face of the current high crime rate of all sorts ravaging every nook and cranny of the Nigerian State, it's very shocking to know what preoccupies the small mind of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Kpotun Idris of the national police is not how to combat all these by partnering with all the communities in Nigeria, expanding the frontiers of crime fighters, upgrading policing in Nigeria from its primitive and antedilluvian policing to international standards of effective policing, befitting a multicultural, multi-lingual Nigeria and making the nations's police become representative, buying state of the art policing equipmemt and gadgets, including drones and helicopters, body armours and body worn cameras for the police, building habitable barracks, having police stations that are of international standards, coming up with befitting uniforms, looking at the welfare status of the police, buying new vehicles, encouraging graduates and women to take to a career in the police service, embarking on researches, training and development, and moving the police from its current people-unfriendly/bestial/jungle-like status to a people-friendly one, etc, but to embark on an egostical ingloriousness of wanting to open a separate broadcaster for the police community in Nigeria.
