The notoriety of security agencies against Nigerian citizens

In Nigeria you subconsciously fear police more than death. The moment you're stopped by a uniform officer you naturally and automatically become a suspected thief, 'yahoo boy' etc.

Your ID card is of no significance at the point, your modest dressing is of no barrier, you just have to subject yourself to their 'terms and conditions' or you're one inch away from stray bullet. From SARS to police to soldiers the infringement on citizen is the same and you're compel to ask what's the social responsibility of the security agencies in the society?

Just yesterday, Remo Stars Football Club (RSFC) Asst. Captain and Defender, Tiyamiu Kazeem Kaka was allegedly killed by a policeman from the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) from the Ogun State Command.

Also, not-too-long ago, Izu Joseph, former 3SC and National under 20 player also lost his life in the hands of the Nigeria Military officers and one begins to wonder how safe is an average Nigerians in the hands of this happy triggered man-slaughter called security agencies?

Firstly, it was Izu Joseph, now Tiyamiu Kazeem Kaka, who's next to become the victim of gruesome and untimely death by the same apparatus that was setup to safe-guide lives and properties?

Observers believe the fierce struggle for dominance may be linked to the influence such a large financial contribution would command. More troubling, however, is the absence of official clarification. All efforts to reach Browns Nigeria officials for confirmat...

Nigeria need to adopt symmetry approach across the national teams- coach Michael Nsien

Former Nigerian youth International Michael Nsien has highlighted the need for Nigeria to adopt a uniform pattern across the National teams for smooth transition of players and to achieve a visible success. Speaking to journalists on NSM from his base in the USA, Coach Nsien who is the head coach of FC Tulsa in the US Division two League maintained that the u-17 and u-20 teams should be a conduit for the senior national team. Micheal Nsien, FC Tulsa Head coach "The youth teams is meant to be that way (a conduit for the senior national team). You have to have culture that buys in or accept a job based on that quality of transition. My intention are to be successful and to win games 100% but also, how do we transition players to the senior national team base on our principle, our style of play, the discipline line that we want to play within and our playing methodology.
