Mad Dog Democracy

On the third of November 2008 on Muhri Okunola Street, victoria Island Lagos, the traffic was chaotic. A young lady (Uzoma Okere) driving home from work didn't move her vehicle out of the way of a millitary convoy on time, resulting severe beatings by armed Nigerian Navy men. The convoy consisted of Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade's personal Navy saloon car and his pilot truck, consisting of 6 armed bodyguards. The body guards in the process physically beat up several PriceWaterHouseCoopers staff and destroyed cameras that were filming the event as it unfolded. The video clip was recorded from the PWC office on a personal camera.

wacxymee stop being an idiot! So what if she was stubborn and rude? Does the naval idiot have more of a right to the road than the girl? Why do we allow ourselves to become second class citizens when we see these ignorant shits?

[theagbaman]

This is just one of the problems with the useless country that we call Nigeria.

@KAYCEE198920 wat the fck has the trainng u get at the academy got to do with beating the girl up, ass hole?!!! you are given the training at the academy to defend the girl but sons of bitches like you use it to beat and rape the people you are trained to defend.

Nigerian military is only good at fighting unarmed civillians. Stop MEND you go shooting and burning innocent fishermen, catch armed robbers you go to rape people in Tarkwa bay. FUCK THE BLOODY ACADEMY.

This is just horrible. The girl was rude, and so? Must you beat her and strip her naked on the streets? The guys who were doing the beating of a defenseless citizen, how would they feel if they didn't have a rifle and were not in uniform? Does defending Nigeria mean beating down citizens? Please give me a break.

This is gross insanity. They are examples of the few bad eggs in the armed forces. There are more professionals than "mad dogs".

I see from this video things havent changed since I worked on a civic centre and an army base as a construction supervisor for a foreign company in the early 70s. Police corruption and brutality, civil unrest still the same - only the buildings are newer. Very unsafe when I was there. We had to have guards with swords protecting us at night. When I had to leave, I had to pay on the side $100 to the airline baggage carriers otherwise they wouldn't load my cases on the plane. .

most of this nigerian politician are evil why cant they learn from country like britain and america on how to run a country and create jobs for the people and those without jobs in nigeria should be giving monthly food portion or monthly payment for them to survive on,how do they espect people to eat or get accomondation did they just want the people to kill themselves or go and steal,all this billions of dollars oil revenue are not be used for nothing, this is a shame.
