Article: Privatization of the Nigerian Police: The bane of security in Nigeria
All the problems we are having with insecurity is largely due to the privatization and commercialization of the police, and security in general in Nigeria writes Tope Fasua.
One of my favourite feel-good movies is titled Year One. Featuring fat man Jack Black, it is a parody of what may have happened in the beginning of time; the age of the Early Man. In the movie, Jack Black’s character is the lazy guy who can’t hunt wild animals and always has this ‘stupid’ idea that there is something better on the other side of the world, than their idyllic village. At some point he satisfies his curiosity and eats the forbidden fruit, is found out and all hell breaks lose in the village. The event I intend to point out happens when he is being prepared for sacrifice to the gods, for committing an unimaginable taboo. As the celebrations towards the human sacrifice wears on, one hut in the village catches fire. Everyone sees that the hut is on fire but shrugs it off because it isn’t their hut. Of course since huts are built with sticks and straws, the whole village is razed down in a matter of minutes and they all become homeless.
