And here I was thinking it was only in Nigeria that the police are just lazy and foolish. This is one of the reasons Africa will continue to be looked-down-upon by other western countries. What are laws for then if people can just sentence a robber to death by stoning? Seriously, this is a bad look.
You cannot compare Africa and other western countries. The west has problems that is far worst than African problems. Every society has its own problem and you have to be careful when making comparison.
When it comes to being civilized in this time and age, comparisons need to made. And mind you, I wasn't comparing the West to Africa. I was stating the facts: Africa is looked down upon, FACT. Laws are universal and are made to be followed. There is nothing to compare.
It is okay to make comparison; however, it has to be made carefully. What facts have you stated? "Laws are universal and are made to be followed" It is not true because Laws are not universal. For instance, in Canada is unlawful to leave a 11 years old child alone inside a house; while in Kenya and most Africa countries, it is fine. Human rights are universal but Law cannot be universal; this is because the world does not have a universal constitution. For example, Canadian constitution does not allow men to marry more than one wife, but in Iran's constitution, it is fine. Do you now see how laws are not universal.
