[color=royalblue]Commercial banks have security men (civilians and policemen), which I am sure are not earning 100k a month

Yet, they do not harass you for bribes. We hardly hear of heists or bank robberies.

The reason is because they have an unpolluted structure in that workplace. Nobody is putting pressures on them to bring returns. They are accountable to their superiors and will definitely pay the price if they misbehave

If they cannot reboot the NPF, let them share that increment for all of us.[/color]
Lolz …. grin

Commercial banks have an insurance policy in place for their security personnel called Group Personal Accident( GPA ) . The insurance policy covers the policemen and provide compensation for them in the case of Permanent Disability , Temporary total Disability , medical expenses and death as a result of work related injury/accident .

If for example a policeman in a bank’s bullion van convoy dies in an accident or bank robbery ; his families will be paid certain sum ( which is usually in millions ) to the tune the bank insured him . If he suffers permanent or temporary disability , he will also be compensated in monetary terms by the insurer .

These are part of their motivation. This is why some policemen actually prefer to be seconded to banks asides the stipends banks arrange for them.

was abba kyari suffering from poverty when he became enforcer of hushpuppi? was it meagre salary that made him try to cut deals with ndlea officers?
Abba Kyari is a normal corrupt middle class civil servant . Abba Kyari is not in the ranks of recruits we can call poor policemen .

He was commissioned as ASP. It’s just like u asking if the army major general that was court martialled for diverting operation funds that year when his orderlies absconded with the money he diverted ; if he was poor to have stolen money. We know high ranking personnel always embezzle funds in Nigeria .

We are talking of regular policemen and soldiers whose barracks look like pig pens .

I’ve my share of dealings with policemen to know they actually envy people who have normal jobs and earn considerably well.

the root cause imho may not so much be poverty as it is a completely warped value system.
we were talking about betta edu today. was it poverty that made her steal?
what of diezani who was born with silver spoons sticking out of everywhere - father a director in shell, she also a director in shell

i am certain there are plenty of opportunities coming your way in the office to make a quick buck off some dodgy scheme where you simply hands off. do you not need the extra money? can it not also make a difference?

most of the messes i saw collegause at work get into - that is what it came back to - out of control greed. the it is never enough kind of greed. you have big salary, big kickbacks, big bonus but it is not enough. so you continue until you now create a big mess that no one can unlook.
We are talking of policemen here not politicians or elites who steal out of greed .

Some policemen don’t earn up to drivers , yet they have 3-5 children on their meagre salary . How do u expect them to survive ? Yet u hand them guns to safeguard people who earn so much more than they do….. what do u expect ?

Increase their salary first , give them reaonable allowances and then let’s come back to this discussion much later .

They’ve been neglected so much that they don’t care anymore and they decided to go make that salary themselves by using the guns u placed in their hands .

Talking about quick fixes.

I remember they even dismissed some police officers who threatened to go on strike if they don't increase their salaries.


You pay a man 40k and give him a gun. And when he uses the gun to threaten people and extort them, you parade and dismiss him without addressing the real reason why he did it in the first place.
We always like to shy away from the root cause of a problem in this country . How do u expect an underpaid staff to not steal from the employer and customers ?

In this Lagos for example , there are policemen and soldiers who follow haulage trucks and pickups for a fee just so the drivers can drive through as many checkpoints as possible without dropping a dime or having the goods onboard inspected thoroughly . That might look like a legit hustle until u consider the possibility of such trucks smuggling firearms and contraband’s.

There are soldiers who offer protection for yahoo boys just to supplement their meagre salary .


In this Lagos if u want to drive past as many police checkpoints without having ur booth inspected u can do it with just few thousands of naira always handy to be tipped to the policemen . What if I have human head in my booth or a victim I kidnapped ? Those policemen don’t really care once I settle them.

All of these is due to poverty. The policeman buys the same loaf of bread I buy for N900 in the same marjet I buy it yet his salary is nothing to write home about . He will definitely make up for that low salary somewhere somehow

Apart from them being overwhelmed, there's no motivation. If the government can come up with a law that gives $30,000 to family members of any law enforcement agent or military officer killed while in active service, people will be willing to lay their lives on the line.

Their renumeration must also be reviewed. Imagine soldiers earning 60k in Nigeria of today. What's stopping them from turning into informants of bandits and earning their annual salary in one day.
We are not ready in this country yet .

During ENDSARS when the youth came out to protest against police brutality , the youth while protesting against police brutality were reasonable enough to acknowledge the fact thaz police remuneration is too poor and it is one of the major factors why they resort to extorting citizens ( both young and old )

The youth decided to add review of police remuneration to their demands . Buhari’s government just paid lip service to the to agreeing police remuneration will be reviewed claiming it will take time to enagage all stakeholders involved .

The youth insisted that things be done about it urgently but t he police themselves , the government and some misguided citizens politicized everything and were more interested in getting youth off the street whom they believe were “constituting nuisance “ on the streets .

Till date nobody has come out to tell us “ see oh , police constable was earning 40k before o, now we have reviewed it to 80k as promised during the ENDSARS protest “. Yet we all know the police are underpaid and not motivated enough to put their lives on the line .

This country ehn, we will continue to reap fruits of some badly made decisions and our penchant for quick fix .

it is not ownership of guns that makes the US a safe society. it is the fact that you have a working law enforcement system in place.

armed robbers were a law unto themselves. as are bandits . because more often than not, they have support from compromised members of security agencies

you can play the hero in the US because you know someone has called 911 and the police will get there. in nigeria, you are oyo. if you are lucky the police will get there 3 hours after the fact. then you have the other scenario - where you face off robbers and they take it personal and come back for you PERSONALLY.

the other problem with guns is that they cost money. so it will ultimately be your upper class or upper middle class that will have them. most of those people already have police on speed dial. and they will do the same thing with their guns that they do with police - oppress the hell out of people. you know that for reasons, people in thid world countries are obsesses with displays of power drunkeness.
The bold is the sad tale of the death of popular White House restaurant in Sabo Yaba ( opposite Ozone cinemas)

Robbers came to his house , robbed him of his cash and ATM cards. He went to report to the police at daybreak , the robbers came back in the night to kill him for having audacity to go report the robbery incident to the police .

There's no day i don't wish Arsenal get their own Trippier/TAA/Porro. Like we should just have them, doing their primary duty, and then super-threats in other game changing metrics. Imagine a White bending freekick or getting Assists in Bellerin style.

Personally, i never rate Timber simply because i have this feeling that we may not see him play much. I hope i am wrong.


Olise is the January Hotcake o. Why aren't we interested too? Liverpool? Chelsea even Man U? Wow. Abi na Ollie Watkins we wan carry?
Arsenal no dey like drag EPL player with fellow top EPL teams; the only player we dragged with others and won in recent times is Declan Rice and we had to break the bank to sign him.

I doubt Arsenal will be willing to match the asking price for a player like Olise with other top EPL teams interested. Me I prefer we go to South Amercia continent and bring a quality attacker from either Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina or Colombia

Go and watch all his matches
He's a suspect
From their matches I've watched thus far, he's not as weak defensively as Alexander Arnold. Maybe I exaggerated his defensive prowess in my initial post, but trust me he's not on dem Zinchenko level defesively.

Even yesterday he still closed down Rashford at some point in the game.

I'm afraid these guys will make top 5 sha. But definitely not top 3. They've closed up that backline with pacy, energetic and technical guys. I hope we land a player like that for our LB spot. That Pedro ehn.... make i no bash who i wan bash😂😂😂
Tottenham may make top 5 sha, They may likely displace Aston Villa if they don't mess themselves up again.

That Pedro Porro ehn, we no get any RB that gives a balance of the performance he gives. Tomiyasu is solid defensively but definitely doesn't have that set piece ability of Pedro Porro.

Timber too is good, but I've not seen him play enough for us to judge him fairly

Porro be like arnold jare,
He no fit hold him line but he's good attacking wise but he's a defender
I don't enjoy defender that don't know their primary duty just like zinny
Udogie dey defend pass Zinchecko from what I've seen this season o. Udogie no dey gree even u beat him one-on-one. He's always coming back to disturb u. He dey always put that African power into marking too.

This guy troubled Garnacho all through and played the entire field again. Like Tomiyasu. It is the consistency for me.
Both Tottenham's fullbacks are good ballers; Pedro Porro and Udogie.

The way Pedro Porro dey play freekicks and Cornerkicks enh, he looks like a more defensive minded Alexander-Arnold. Like he has all the attacking attributes of Alexander-Arnold and he's also good defensively.

There's Guinea Conakry, Guinea Bissau and Equitorial Guinea.

Guinea Conakry(The one simply referred to as Guinea) is an ex- French Colony
