Having been to Nigeria for work one time

The police there (when properly bribed) are the only things keeping you away from the absolute savages that are the people of Nigeria.

Its very central Africa in this regard. A great place to raise a family lol

I'm deducing that the government isn't open to "starting a conversation" at this time.

And American police are the fascists.

As is always said, these people protesting/rioting here have no idea how good they have it.

Well this is outrageous! We need to send our best and brightest BLM protesters to Nigeria ASAP to confront this issue head on.

Oh no....I hope they didn't kill or injure any of the people our government has sent 100s of millions of dollars of unemployment checks to.

Yes shots been getting real over there in the last few weeks. America is definitely not the worst place to live as much as people like to pretend.

My wife and me were speaking to someone we know in Lagos last night. It's very bad even for Nigeria standards. A special police unit has been targeting mostly young successful males. In some cases they are stealing their cars and burning them out of spite.

The police are worse than the criminals in Nigeria. During my time there most of the problems I experienced involved corrupt police.
