LOOKING AT POLICE AND OTHER SECURITY Personnel HOLISTICALLY, written by Mazi Odera POg JP, Mkpisi Ndi Egede.

Over the years the amount of hatred dished to our Police is enough to douse this world in Caustic Soda and create another.

I come this morning,so we can Circumspect,then try to circumvent the pros and the Cons inherent in that job.

If one is to believe what I culled off Internet about the Salaries of the police,which I copied and paste as 

"entry-level roles like Police Constable earning around ₦43,293–₦51,113 monthly and higher ranks like Assistant Superintendent receiving ₦127,604–₦156,318 monthly in 2025. "

Let's just add 50 Thousand as increments if there is any,then come with me .

Most Policemen are married or conscript Girl friend into his house as undowried wife,then to begat babies are just a Hump away,now let's agree they have 2 Children,so let's go into statistics..

House rent for the officer ,won't be anything less than 20K ,no matter where ever it's hidden ,infact even Ghetto houses has improved beyond measure with prices that are scary.i don't think there's any barracks left for Police to reside in.

You can't cook food for 5 People with anything less than 3K ,then multiply it by 2 ,as in two triangle meals,it come to 6K ,we add bag of water and buying of water for cooking and other things,so in a Day , it's expected that ,a Family of the most Downtrodden will spend an average of 7K.

I don't want to include School fees , security,Light bill ,Gas for cooking,phone Recharge...

Let's just stick with the 7K ,then multiply it to 30 days ,even though we know that Sunday and Saturday carry extra expense,but let's stay on 7K limit,just multiply it with 30 Days and it will amount to 210K per month.

Police Job is from Morning till dawn,which means there's no other time for extra struggle to earn more .

With the above calculation,it means the Man is already in deficit with his salary and we expect them to be transparent and agile ?

Can you be agile with a wife and Children that are hungry at home ?

They will deflate your agility when you get home.

Don't forget about siblings, parents, in-law, friend that rely on him ,then sickness is part of some monthly things ,as somebody in that family must fall sick,and where will he get the money for it ?

This same people we expect to confront Heavily armed Men with Local fabricated Bullet buffer called Odeshi ,we want the Police to face them with antiquated Gun that was last serviced during the last Genocide,we play too much in this country.

Even the IG know that he can't stop them from collecting certain token to argument the insult we call salary.

 What most of them earn in a month,our Politicians give such to a Girl for Tfare,how will this Men and women in Uniform perform their duties without bias ?

Never forget that ,a hungry man is an angry Man.

The worst is ,they see Politicians embezzle our patrimonies,send Children Overseas,give order to same Policemen who guide them with empty stomach and leave them outside to guide them at night,while they Bang wife and Girl friends and yet nothing to make them thank God that they work for a Big Man, they see injustice meted to them and yet we think we  have them by the Balls.

This should include other security apparatus in Nigeria,not limited to police.

We truly want them to go after Kidnapers ókwaya ? With what please?.

Some will insult them with connection and ill-gotten Money as owners of Society,some will ask them to resign if they don't like the Job  ,we forget that if they resign without Job ,the only Job available is to make use of the training they got under the Gun to create Private Job and your guess is as good as mine . Not as if there's well structured retirement package for them.

What I am saying is ...if you see this Men ,drop some offering with them ,if they are working for you ,just know that ,they have serious need and you should bless them without waiting for them to come with plate as in babiallah ,show them Love continually.

The Government should review the Salaries,and Up it like a Thousand fold,so that they can at least have reason to love the Job and some can abstain from collecting at Take points.

Currently,I am sure nobody love the Job ,to them it's just a means to an end.

Government should also provide them change of Uniform every half year ,from Head to Toe, because people address you ,the way you dress .

I come in Peace and I hate the nonsense we are pampering as way of life .

All this Men with Police Convoy,if you are not paying them fine ,God forgive you if you face trouble,none will stake his life for you or your own .
