Corrupt Nigerian Police Officer demands MONEY 🇳🇬[S7-E62]

In this episode, I start my journey through Nigeria and I'm on my way to Abuja to sort out a visa for Cameroon. On the way, I pass many, many checkpoints - and you never know what the response will be, or who is trying to stop you on the road. So I try to keep riding, but sometimes, I have to stop..

When I worked in Nigeria I learned to keep a $20 in my pocket and hide the rest of my money. That way when the inevitable demand for “gratuity” came from the police or other government official, I could plead that the $20 was all I had. It happened a lot. Those stereotypes don’t come from nowhere.

Nigeria was my favourite country (for it's people) on my UK to Cape Town trip. Lovely people and very welcoming, if a little tiresome at times. The corruption is a pain, but its the same everywhere in west Africa. Whilst the constant police stops wear you down, they are there to keep you safe ultimately.

I lived and worked in a small town in Nigeria from 1979-81, and rode a motorcycle to get around and also travel around the country. "What did you bring me?" is like a common greeting. I asked my Nigerian friends how to answer it, and they said to laugh it off as Noraly did, or respond with a joke, or say "Next time." Everyone who goes from point A to point B gets asked that, not just white women! And obviously people can't be carrying around gifts for every single person they meet, especially on a motorcycle. Nigerian culture is very "in your face" and extroverted compared to other countries in West Africa, which I also visited. I had to get used to it, but it was a relief to return to my introverted side when I left.

Don't worry. The UK police do it too. Here in Britain, they don't expicitly ask you for money for themselves, like we saw in this video, but they try to find something with which they can "fine you" with - any excuse to claim you are "breaking the law' so that they can collect revenue from people. And, it's not just police - traffic wardens, environmental enforcement officers, council workers, etc. do this also. Corrupt people are everywhere across the face of our beautiful earth.

In Cambodia I was alone at the top apartment of my soon-to-betray-me "friend's" place when a big Khmer guy appeared and tried to get in. He told me to open for him, but I was not going to open for a total stranger, so he got furious, and in his clucking language said he wanted to kill me. I know the word for kill. He tried to reach through the window bars to no avail. Frustrated, he left but I stayed inside until the next day in case he tried ambushing me later. I regret moving to Scambodia. I could write a book about how horrible this place is.

I had the exact same experience at Abuja International Airport after arrival. An official (lady) at the final security check just before the airport's exit confiscated my suitcase and said "Give me something". When I told her I don't understand, she said again, "Give me something, anything", and refused to release my suitcase until I complied. All of this happened right in front of several heavily armed security officers (maybe military), all of them heard this, but none of them interjected, even when I protested. Apparently this is perfectly normal in Nigeria.

[@podcastwithpastorjesse9367]

I am Nigerian. I was traveling out lately and I was asked for money by about 5-6 different staffs at different checkpoint. When I told my friend about the experience, he told me that they were all in it together. That at the end of each work day, they split the money they have collected from "tasking" travelers among themselves. In the meantime, I would like to ask you a question. Are you born again?

[@MatthysduToit]

@@DrDingus It's a longer story as I was also held up for about 2 hours by a guy in passport control who confiscated my passport to solicit a bribe. I refused and when they changed shifts, the next passport control officer took my passport out from under the counter where the previous guy put it, stamped it, and let me through. It was a business trip and I was concerned that the shuttle sent by the company to pick me up would leave without me. My phone couldn't connect to the local network so I couldn't call. So I did what I had to to get out of there. It was a gaunlet of bribe solicitation to get through that airport. The rason I commented here was because the same term "give me something" was used by the second person, so I wanted to share.

Corruption exists in most countries.. What sets Nigeria (and most African nations) apart is the sheer shamelessness with which money is demanded.. Its a rare mix of begging and extortion..

Sure, but not all forms of corruption are equal. In places like Western Europe for example you have cases like that some politician will be invited to a free vacation in exchange for giving some company a government deal, or stuff like insider trading. That is corruption too, but you won't have policemen and bureaucrats demand or even take money from regular citizens. So yes, there is corruption in most countries, but not this kind of corruption.

First, I'm so happy your channel found me. I'm a Black American who just returned from visiting Nigeria for the first time two weeks ago, and I fell in love with this country. Yes, there is "police corruption," but I learned that even that problem among some, not all, officers, as the video shows, is due to economic issues. No excuse, just a reality. Beyond that, this video actually proves that the vast majority of Nigerians you encounter are grateful, peaceful, and welcoming people. Noraly did not encounter any threats at all... something I found to be refreshing while there. I live in a large, modern metropolitan city here in the U.S. and trust me when I say there are neighborhoods here that Noraly would not have been safe traversing through with such amazing technological gear. In fact, her Alaska would probably have new bike owners. Facts. Again, Nigeria is a place to be loved, honored, and respected as a country with great culture, beautiful land, and a developing economy. I can envision how living conditions there could only improve with care and support from the world community...not disdain and ignorance from those who only grab a few negative snippets from a short video. Keep up your pilgrimages, Noraly. I will also be watching you now. One Love.❤
