The Origins of Prison Service in Nigeria Did you know that the first set of prison officers in Nigeria was trained by British colonial authorities? In the early days of colonial rule, British prison officers were seconded to Nigeria to train local officers in prison management. This training laid the foundation for the development of the Nigerian prison service, which has since evolved into the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS). As Reformers, we recognize the importance of understanding our history and how it shapes our present. The Nigerian Correctional Service has come a long way since its humble beginnings, and we're committed to supporting its ongoing reforms. #PrisonReform #NigerianHistory #Reformers"

pretence can be dangerous because it can prevent people from improving themselves. Pretence is a claim that is usually not supported by facts. For example, "The authorities refused to admit that he had been killed, maintaining the pretence that he had been sent to Zimbabwe for medical treatment". Pretence can also be harmful to others. For example, hypocrisy can be harmful to people seeking spiritual nourishment because it can create a facade of holiness without substance.
