You where stopped because you looked like a criminal.
You can't dress responsible and get stopped.

No sane Nigerian police man will stop someone like me who always goes with a clean low cut hair and my business ID card.

With your dreads looking like my mopping stick. sad

Oga, no be by dreadlocks. No be by sagging only. No be by the dress you wear. Your clean low cut is one of the criteria. Your age is the criteria. Your movement is a criteria. Your briefcase makes you a suspect. Your bag pack is a criteria. Your clean dressing exposes you. Your phone na criteria, even if it is a palasa. Do anyhow for Oshodi and let Akinpelu police hand touch you.

Just pray not to get into the hands of one of the wrong policemen out there. By the way, if you have a car, drive to Oluku junction in Benin with that your low cut. Na there you go understand the word “frame up”!

But did you notice his appearance like Fulani herdsmen? They can never ever let him go. Hid save am. Those man dey wear ring for nose? This one dey use im money well at all so? You no see say igbo dey show for im face?

wearing dreadlocks or earring does not make you a criminal. U go talk say u go school like dis? better return ur certificate

police mans job is to stop crime, is it a crime as defined by law to wear dreadlocks?

how many Nigerian politicians wear dreadlocks ? and they are the biggest thieves in the land.

Some comments here just shows the way Nigerians think and how their brains function.i guess the system doesn't make people think and reason like normal human beings again.
Even if he look Haggard or disheveled in appearance,does That make the NIGERIAN POLICE officer to demand for bribe from him before they let him go if truly they are doing their job?Must we always abnormality and bad behaviors from this criminal police officers?

People like you are the biggest problem Nigeria is facing . Shallow minded and inexposed. All the criminal politicians that have put you all in the mess you are in, do they have dreadlocks? Better educate yourself.

The criminal politicians looting our commonwealth don't wear dreads.

The criminal and corrupt civil servants diverting funds and doing all sorts of crazy things don't wear dreads.

How about the criminal lecturers...those that order for sex for grades? Those that sell their grades? They do not wear dreads.

Boko Haram terrorists do not wear dreads.
How many IPOB terrorists have you seen on dreads?
How about the Fulani kidnappers?

So, what's the basis of your conclusion that he looks like a criminal?

He's actually a Hausa guy from Kano named Isa Bako. I follow him on Ticktok. According to him, his father is a very rich man from Kano who sent him to the US to school but then shut him off when he adopted an 'American' way of life. Very intelligent guy

Very correct. He was my senior in school. Even then na proper rebel.

Good afternoon, well-meaning Nigerians; I am typing this post amidst severe pain and serious hunger.

With the current hardship in our dear country, how will a poor but hardworking person like me survive?

I am confused and in trauma.

I am 29 years old and an O.LEVEL holder. I had a car accident two months ago and got bedridden as a result of a broken leg that I suffered in the accident.

The car accident threw me into trauma and hunger, as I am unable to go out to hustle for my daily bread as I used to do before.

As I am typing this, I have yet to eat food since yesterday morning other than the water that I have been drinking to gain some strength. This is due to the fact that I am totally broke now. I spent the last #60,000 I have on me on medication. I am in Lagos, but my parents are far back in Kwara State, Ilorin, my hometown. I am thinking of relocating back home to get better treatment, but the issue is, I still do not have the transportation fare.

Please, daddies, mummies, and my brothers and sisters on Nairaland forum, please help me; hunger is doing a very deadly work in my body.

I live at Number 35, Adewale Dauda Street, Eleko Town, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.

If you live close to me and want to visit me, my phone number is 091 35 310 933 and that's my address. Please help me.

Below are my bank details; please have mercy on me.

Bank: OPay
Number: 91 35 310 933
Name: Babatunde Yisa

May God bless you more and grant you all your heart desires as you help me.

May God turn our situation in Nigeria from its current state to a better state that will bring joy, happiness, and riches to you, me, and all Nigerians. Ameen







This guy is a serial scammer
