Policeman, Oluwa Oscar Lam: "I Took This Job Knowing I May Never Get Rich" by CastedDude: 6:40pm On Jan 06, 2018
A gallant police officer identified as Oluwa Oscar Lam, has revealed how proud he is to be working in the Nigerian Police Force. The policeman who lives and works in Lagos - took to Facebook to share the below words as he compared himself with an "ordinary" civilian. Read below;

I am a proud POLICE OFFICER

They Have University, We Have Training College.

They Have Vice Chancellor, We Have Commandant.

They Have Lecturers, We Have Instructors.

Their Day Starts by 0700hrs, but Ours by 0400hrs.

They Wake up 0600hrs, We Jump up 0300hrs.

They Shake Hands, We Salute.

They Wear Gucci, We Wear Carmo/Khaki.

They Keep Their Hairs, We Cut Off Our Hairs.

They Wake Up, We Jump Up.

They walk, We Double In Divisions.

They Have Students, We Have Cadets/Recruits.

They Have Dining Halls, We Have Mess.

They Go On Break, We Go On Pass.

They Have Conference Hall, We Have Parade Ground.

To Them Nigeria Flag Stays up For 24/7, To Us We Have Colour And Sunset.

They Have Graduation Party, We Have Passing Out Parade.

To Them Injury Is For One And One Only Whilst To Us Injury For One Injury For All.

They Get Short Term Light Drills Only In Their NYSC, Whilst Rigorous Drills Is Our Everyday Blood Tonic.

They Are School Colleagues, We Are Brothers.

They Have Civilian Blood, We Have MOPOL Blood.

They Demand For Respect, We Command Respect.

I took this job knowing I may never get rich,

I've missed out so many holidays, church services and special occasions in order to protect lives,

I'm expected to work miracles and do things other people are scared to do and even save lives.

It has been proven that my life expectancy is shorter than yours because of the stress I go through and the sickness I get exposed to, and yet there are no hero movies about us.

I must give my life everyday for people I dont know, have never met before and even those who dont like me.

When my family is home suffering alone I'm out here in the cold, dangerous situations all in the name of protecting property and saving life.

I am a warrior who gave oath to die for my people!

I am a POLICE OFFICER

Happy new year to you all.

Lets view this question from this context


If Nigeria govt need N1billion DAILY for the next 365 days to finish a technically won war, how much did Buhari govt spend daily before they technically won the war on Boko Haram?
