Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Harrowing pictures of Nigerian Police Academy cadets' living conditons

When are we going to accept that what we are seeing in places like Nigeria (and of course many other nation-states in Africa) point to a growing body of evidence that, as Arjun Appadurai once argued, the very idea of the 'state'--as an all-encompassing political reality--may indeed be on its "last legs"?

Yes, go check round all our institutions of learning/training from secondary to tertiary to NYSC orientation camps and you will find even worse scenarios. Our leaders all know, they only pretend not to. Which way Nigeria?

My people,

 

Please view these pictures. How do we explain this travesty? Have we no shame? I think every living Inspector General of Police since Independence should be hauled before the people to explain this savagery.

ps.

 

I have news for you all; many  public '"educational insitutions are just as bad."
