WAKE UP CALL TO THE SAVIOR OF CIVIL SOCIETY
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2013 6:49 pmWAKE UP CALL TO THE SAVIOR OF CIVIL SOCIETY.
The police are primarily responsible for the maintenance of public order, prevention and detection of crimes in the state. It also protects the life, liberty and property of the people. Hence, the role of the police has become more important than before. Without the police, there would be chaos in the society and the people would live in Hobbesian state of nature in which life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Thus, the police enforce criminal law maintaining law and order and investigating crime. It provides the necessary check against the ambivalence of the human nature. The police play an important role in the administration of justice. In theory, one's safety and liberty depend upon the law and constitution but in practice the laws and judicial decisions are enforced by the police. Thus the police are the saviour of modern civil society……... Maulin Joshi
With a role so important one has to wonder why you are paid such meager salary compared to other police officer in affluent countries. Your important role in our society should command respect, honour, and integrity but you are despised, feared, and seen as a villain just like your counterparts in poor horrible third world countries. You have become corrupted because your officers are made to chase bribery money around like a jackal. You have degraded your selves. In the year 2013 you still believe that this nickel and dimes that you collect from shaking down and kidnapping, to your station for ransom, the citizen you are sworn to protect which you share amongst yourself all the way to the top, is what is best for our country and a way to enrich yourselves. The rich slapped and degraded you in public, treat you as slaves for errand, and you prostrate before them sometimes in uniform, you the powerful, the saviour of a society from tyranny, the protector of life, liberty and property. You more so than the rest of us must wake up. We are all being used.
We are all ready to fight with you. Your income should be 10 times what you presently earn to start, today!!! We the people appreciate that you are where you are because the powerful is using you to disrupt our society, they want chaos. Ask yourself could you inflict all these mayhem on the society because you could. Do you believe no one in power knows what you are doing? Do you think you can’t be stopped if they wanted you to? Or do you think they actually encourage it? See comparable salaries in other countries.

I do not suggest that police officers in Nigeria should earn the same wages noted above because our standard of living, production output, organizational structure and cost of living is different. What I do suggest is that the least ranked police officer’s salary should be equivalent to a middle class income in our country. Payment should commensurate with responsibility, expectation, and risk. We will seek and find the police officers that will meet our expectation when they are paid proportionately to what we expect of them, the responsibility.
Support we require from you.
Every society whether affluent or poor has individuals in them who choose to live together. Each one of them wants food, shelter and security the basic needs in life. To attain this basic need every individual in a society need to produce, exchange the goods produced, need the collective provisions that will regulate and enforce rules of goods exchanged, electricity and water to produce, roads to move our production for exchange, security of our lives our property and our spoils. The society that made this provision with the least interruption is affluent. These are our requisition.
(a) Put a stop to your corruption. It is degrading to our country and it will create chaos that will destroy us all. Our production has an input cost which ultimately determines what we sell it for and what our gains will be. If you disturb us with bribery you have affected incalculable societal economic cost. The cost of the bribery is either assumed by the producer or passed on to the purchaser. Depending on how many times bribes are paid before the goods/services are exchanged, the producer, the distributor, the retailer and the final consumer may all become poorer as each is affected by these costs. The viable business becomes unprofitable and or the product is too expensive. If we the people encounter too many interruptions we will not produce and exchange our collective production efficiently, effectively, and economically. Our individual income will be less so will our collective income. If we are all poor you will be poor because your legal salary must be determined by a formula that should include average Gross domestic income. This is part of the factors why affluent society makes more than we do. For your legal salaries to commensurate your responsibility and equate your counterpart in affluent society you must support us to produce with the least interruption.
(b) Enforce the rule of law. We must ask ourselves this simple question, if each capable adult is a producer and everyone in the society consumes why are some countries poorer (National domestic income) than others. Is it because poorer countries have bad managers and affluent countries have better managers. A former Nigerian president was confronted on British television about corruption within his cabinet. He responded by asking if his name was inclusive in the list of the corrupt. In affluent society a coach of a sports team is fired if his team performed badly. In Japan the Prime minister offered his resignation after the nuclear disaster. He is not an employee at the firm neither is the coach a player. It is the responsibility of a coach, a manager, to manage his/her mandate, but most importantly to be proactive for eventualities and continually adapt to new challenges and be preemptive because he/she takes responsibility for the outcome. Who then is responsible for this pain and suffering you are inflicting on our society, the President or the Inspector general of police? If the Inspector general is appointed by the President, then the President is responsible else a replacement should have been made.
(c) Develop the structures that will make us safe. In almost every country in the world citizens have a place to call when in distress with immediate response. In the year 2013 most communities, cities, and States are without Call Centers and if they do, the phone number is not known or too long to remember and response is long or nonexistent. We need to coordinate the police, firefighters, and ambulance, and provide them the tools and responsibility to function. Provide a venue for us to communicate our needs with you and voice our contribution, complaints, and our gratitude.
(d) Demand for structures that will make your function easier. We are yet to be a digitized nation in the year 2013. How do you expect your officers to function when there is no identification system that can be easily stored and retrieved? What do you expect when an officer witnessed a minor infraction such as speeding? Warn the offender and let him go? Take the offender to the police station to extort from him/her? Should he/she take the bribe right away? Seize his license for payment to be made later at the station (the license which may be lost or compromised) without a license to show the next officer when requisitioned? How do you know the criminals amongst us? How do you even know if any of our government officials are Nigerians when there is no formal identifications like, real birth certificates, individualized assigned number to each citizen of our country, medical number, school record, employment records, that can be stored and retrieved with ease. If you find this difficult or overwhelming create a forum where we can contribute, inform and participate. We are 146 million strong we will find a solution.
People with pitifully low wages come to feel that they have no option. They have to demand bribes if they want to make a decent living. And when those who extort bribes or pay them to gain an unfair advantage go unpunished, few are prepared to swim against the tide’. And in the Bible King Solomon said "Because sentence against a bad work has not been executed speedily, that is why the heart of the sons of men has become fully set in them to do bad…."-Ecclesiastes 8:11.
Your profession is the most important in conditioning the society to conform to the rules of law. Without you we cannot live in peace 164million people will have different social, economic and political problems every day. Without you we are not safe that is why we call on you when our lives, our family’s lives, and our community are in danger. Without you we cannot be assured of contractual obligation necessary to exchange our goods and services. Without you our society will be chaotic. You must not submit yourself to corruption so blatant because our society will fall apart if each one of us start to believe, ‘I am on my own’.
