I was traveling from Port Harcourt to Bayelsa state yesterday afternoon, we go to a police check point and it was the Federal Sars men that stopped us. While they were doing their lawful duty of searching the vehicle and the passengers in it, a girl that was sitting behind me made a comment and the officer that was conducting the search heard her loud and clear. She said '' You people are just wasting our time, if it were the bad boys terrorizing the region you people won't stop them''. The Sars man got angry and asked the girl to come down from the vehicle, the girl came down and she was taken into their custody for further questioning about her comment. The officer asked the driver to carry the rest of the passenger and continue with the journey. Some passengers pleaded with the officer to let the girl go but they refused, they said the girl must show them evidence where she saw them not stopping bad boys. They accused the girl of working with bad boys. The girl was detained while we continued with our journey.
The girl wouldn't have found herself in that situation if she had kept quiet without saying a word.
we should learn how to control our tongue at all time. Don't say unguided words when in public place.
Don't say anything when your opinion is not sought after in a public place because you don't know who is who.
I feel like sharing this so that we can avoid some unnecessary problems in our lives.
In as much as Nigeria is a curupt country does not mean that one must have to say it in public, because what you say while at home and what you said outside are two different things because it might lead you into trouble.
The worst thing that can trigger a force man to do such thing, is by indirectly telling him that his not compitent to handle criminal case, but always claiming hard to Normal citizens.
In as much as the military sector is concerned there are force men that are doing there job perfectly but the reputation of the bad once have engloved the innocent ones. Emagine Making such statement in the present of someone who has been fighting for the right of the citizens, you would definitely get fucked up. So we should always mind our words or however ways control our tounge in other not to put ourselves hoddles.
