The Policemen’s Dilemma

The Policemen’s

Dilemma

Of all the security agencies in Nigeria

The Police is the most traumatised

Rejected by the people they police

Rejected by their own Government

Rejected even by their own families

Their barracks are a weary environment

The most populated by,

Mostly unplanned children!

Insufficiency has been their lot

In an occupation –

the most risky of all jobs

Ye their enemies know them

While they know not all their enemies!

So their lives are subject

To abrupt termination at any time

Their remuneration

Is incommensurate and in arrears

To minimise  the imbalance

They resort to unbecoming practices

At unlikely places along the highways

Often unwillingly demeaning their consciences.

Frustration breeds bad conscience

When film makers seek to depict the poor professional in the society

The police or the Teacher

Is a ready illustration

Although the teachers

Are fighting for their rewards

Here upon the surface of the earth!)

Both professions

Deserve better deals

Though police, move so

To get the desired redressing

Not only from government

But the society too

Who treat them contemptuously

Urgently, police should improve themselves

With academic

And spiritual knowledge

Enough of poor recruits!

People-police harmony overdue

Police must stop inebriating

Must stop breeding like pigs

And invest in family and future

Knowing their hazardous career

They must look beyond career prospects

And gird themselves with God’s insurance

Such would restore their relevance

To self and their Creator

And stop their stigmatization

As poorly, ignorant and failures.
