Nigeria Favours the Shallow Over the Deep,Intelligence Also Matters .

Nigeria Favours the Shallow Over the Deep, Intelligence Also Matters. By: Douglas Ogbankwa Esq. The Super Falcons got 100k dollars for winning the WAFCON, but a Police Man or Police Officer has served the country for 35 years and gets 2 million Naira or less . There are many young Nigerians who are investing in IT, infrastructure, yet got no support from the government.  The owners of Futtetwave and Paystack relocated the headquarters of their businesses to South Africa. The Nigerian  Government did not ask why or even encourage them to cone back.  Pfizer and Glaxco Smith kline left Nigeria, no questions from the Nigerian Government.  Do you know how much 100k dollars will do to a start up? Do you know how many start-ups are looking for seed funds? We, however, choose to give it to footballers when there are many businesses struggling for survival.  The empowerment programmes are shrouded in secrecy and mystery. I have not seen one person who is a beneficiary....

Funding Nigerian Police, Is The Missing Link

Funding Nigerian Police, Is The Missing Link By: Douglas Ogbankwa, Esq.@douglasogbankwa@gmail.com  Nigeria appears to be the only country in the world where the Police arrest before investigation commences . Reason:There are no resources available for the Police to operate. An average Nigerian Police Officer or  Police .Man in his job is like a national orphan . He uses his call credits to make call ,there are no operational vehicles for most tactical units, when you see those Policemen collecting money in a check point with a van close,the money collected is used to fuel the vehicle and repair same .If they don’t collect those monies, there will likely be no policing at the local level in this country. Those of them attached to private individuals buy their own bullets! The Nigerian Police Force is grossly underfunded. The fact that they are making roads in fighting crime with the little funding they have makes them look like magicians. There are no functional forensic labora...
