Filmmaker, Charles Novia, has shared his observations that Nigerians are rude to policemen and that it is a bad thing.

The 47-year-old made this known in a series of tweets on Tuesday.

“One of the things we Nigerians assume and do wrongly most times is to look down on the Policemen when they stop motorists. We don’t hide the disdain on our faces most times when we see them and sometimes we talk down on them,” he wrote.

He added that he did not like how the Nigerian police operated but said: “The man with a gun in his hand is to be respected for those few moments he has that gun undecided on your face.”

Charles Novia announced the death of his mother, Clara Osayuware Uwaifo, in December 2018.
