In 2010 my driver & I were beaten by the police guards of @followlasg gov @tundefashola. They threatened to lock us up. We were scared for our lives. No one knew where we were. All because I took photos of the iconic Nitel building in Marina.

The day before we had just held the first showing of @mypaga to a group of about 20 people. The photos of the event was what made the police say "he might be someone" and finally let me go.

If not for Paga & the potential I saw to impact our country, I would have left Nigeria after that incident.

How many dreams has the Nigerian Police ended?

It's time for true Police reform @MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo. No more talk. Action.

One ridiculous statement the police made to me that day was that if I were oyinbo (white person - basically foreigner) it would have been okay to take those photos and they would not have objected.

Not that it should matter, but I was taking photos of the Nitel building because it housed our first data center for @mypaga and I was proud we finally had a working product.
