Good morning Nlanders,

I have been considering quitting my police job to find something more productive & profitable to do with my life as a result of poor pay & lack of promotion.....

I was enlisted into the NPF since year 2009 at 21yrs, I was single then with big aspiration that someday I will move to the top echelon. While in the job, I struggled to send myself to school and bagged my first degree and through to masters level.

But one thing I have noticed is that there is no upward movement within the NPF unlike the other armed forces and some paramilitary agencies that have internal promotional policies of upgrading their personnel based on academic qualification and merit.

The first and only time this ever happened was five years ago when it was widely reported across all news platforms that the NPF was ready to promote graduates within the force to ASPs, exam was conducted, I passed and was selected to go to Abuja for final interview. It was a rough road for me as it was my first time at the FHQ, Abuja. But after like a week, the process was suspended indefinitely. That was the first time I heard the term MERIT LIST VS NATIONAL INTEREST LIST...the Senators and Reps etcs wanted to replace the list with their candidates and they disagree amongst themselves so the process was cancelled.

I must confess my family is getting larger now and the pay I get can't feed us not to talk of paying school fees. I had to double my hustle with side biz to meet up....

Even the Police academy now turn out graduates ASPs every year who are now superiors after just a few years. So what about us with requisite qualification and experience, don't we deserve to be promoted...?

It is on this note that I want to call it quit and move on...

So I need advice in this regard... Should I call it quit or still hold on a bit...cos I don tire......?

NB: For those of you that will be saying yenyenyen police likes twenty Naira.... I have never received bribe from anyone throughout my 11 years in the job. I am the kind of Police Officer that you would meet on duty and would love to be a police officer....

Please professionals in the house.... Flood my thread with your wealth of experience abeg....

.... Help me do the needed for a wider view....

My brother you look very sound. I sincerely appreciate your testimony of not being amongst the bandwagon of bribe takers. God will surely bless you for that. I understand your pains because I have many of my people in the force.

Like some people have advised you, do not make haste to resign yet with the state of the Nation at the moment. Plan properly. Know that your experience is already a great asset to you. As soon as the pandemic is over and oil/gas work resumes you are one of the best qualified for CSO jobs in the oil and gas firms. Just keep doing your home work well. Having set your heart on resigning, there are still great opportunities for you out there even in the security line.

Why should any man waste his 50K just like that??

Please don't say that again. Some men are even ready to spend millions just for one time sex just to prove that they can get any lady they like. It will only take a reasonable lady to be wise.

Be cautious of what you post or do on Facebook..but some people won't heed to that simple advice..

It is also applicable on Nairaland. Some people comment carelessly as if they are in their private rooms forgetting that internet has already turned our private rooms to market square.

I just love what the groom's family did because it will save other thousands of girls who are already towing same line.

I guess some people may start resigning from the probe panel because if you raise your hand too much, your own corruption record will be opened. Naija, I dey hail oo.

Irrespective of what any pastor may say, you must be convinced of the person yourself so that tomorrow you will not come back and blame either the Pastor or nairalanders.

Anybody in whom you don't have peace of mind is not your spouse, irrespective of beauty or what any prophet may say. I will rather want to hear your testimony tomorrow not coming back to call for solutions. I wish well.

How did they die? Who died fist or did they die same time? Mystery!

Raxxye:
Hmmm. I doubt if Buhari would want to nominate a former member of GEJ's cabinet. If it's true, then congratulations to her. But why should we continue to recycle same individuals for so many years?

No other Nigerian stands a chance for the position and that is why Egypt wants her disqualified so that their candidate can easily sweep the election result.

Did FG acquire them for use or to donate them to the Boko Haram to make up for the ones Chadian soldiers destroyed?

Thought and prayers. RIP

RUGA is the solution

Since the return to democracy in 1999, Nigeria has been grappling with diverse security challenges, chief among them are insurgency, election violence, kidnapping and most recently, the herder-farmer conflicts among others. The north central states of Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa and other states have experienced conflicts that led to thousands of deaths and displacements as a result of clashes between pastoralists (herders) and local farmers in several communities. In January 2018 alone, Amnesty International reports indicate that 168 people were killed as a result of herdsmen-farmer clashes.1

Struggle over grazing land and scarce resources have over the years resulted in perennial and growing violent conflicts in terms of frequency, intensity and geographic scope. Underpinning the escalation in frequency of conflicts in Nigeria is a confluence of environmental and demographic forces, especially desertification caused by climate change and population explosion. Expectedly, with the depletion of arable land for subsistence farming largely as a result of increasing urbanisation and the adverse effect of climate change, especially along the Lake Chad basin, there is increased struggle between herdsmen and farmers – leading to violent confrontations and conflicts, deaths and forced displacement, as well as the destruction of agriculture and livestock.

Ruga is okay only if you can use the vast Sambisa forest. Sambisa can contain all the cows in West Africa. We can even approve importing grasses from Brazil once the cows finish all the available grasses there.

We're watching

This man resembles Alamyeisa. I don't know if I have another witness in the house

ThierryJay:
Which war? That FAKE quote looks like something cooked up by Cristiano's fans rather than Simeone. I'm sure Simeone never said that after the Supercopa match. Even on twitter, it was labelled as fake as it was only @360 sources that published the quote. Major sport tabloids should have reported it as well if it was true. Simeone that publicly stated that he believes Messi was more dangerous than Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema combined? Find another lie please.

It can only be CR7 fans that can say he is now better than Messi using irrational logic. Just imagine, because he scored a mundane hattrick (2 tap -ins and penalty) against CAGLIARI, a relegation team, he is now better than Messi who was the best player on the pitch against Atletico madrid (scored two beautiful goals, dribbled the ATM players at will) for those that actually watched the match. How Can??

Where was CR7 in the war against Ajax last season, Barcelona over several seasons in La liga, Uruguay at World cup, even Lazio this season? Honestly, it's laughable the way CR7 fans like to turn logic on its head and delude themselves, or consolation is it?

6 will always be greater than 5.

Simeone made that quote when Athletico and Juventus were squaring up in the championship Group stage

sotall:
Just imagine!

I am really shocked that this is true.

Which kain yeye mistake be that?

You only have ballistic missiles now and you are mis-firing, what about when you now have nuclear weapons?

. Trump knew the truth. No wonder he said that as long as he remains US President, Iran will never have nuclear weapons. In fact, I want to hear Trump's response.

He is my Governor but I am still confused where gets all the money he uses for all the projects. He recently added about a thousand new political appointees and yet he is leading in the payment of the 30k minimum wage. One thing I know is that nobody will inflate contracts for him. He is an engineer, good in calculations and also owns a construction company, so knows the actual worth of any project

That memo can't be true. How can the date bear the same 9th that the replacement was appointed.

This kinds of mother won't be existing in the nearest future.

Sorry, I beg to disagree with you. My wife is very hard-working. We still have hard-working women in town.

Just commend a good development and pass. Na wa, even people from UNIPETROL are also saying that they have been using electronic voting but they never posted it on nairaland.

I guess INEC helped in conducting the voting. They should check well.

Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has said that 10 million Nigerian would be out of poverty in the next 10 years.

Osimbajo made this promise on Thursday at Abdullahi Fodio Palace in Birnin Kebbi when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammadu Bashar.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to take 10 millions Nigerian out of poverty in the next 10 years, we believe very strongly we can achieve it in collaboration with the state governor.


“We are here in Kebbi for several things and to promote National Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and petty traders’ businesses, and to inspect the renovation of the market in the state,” he said.

According to the Vice President, the National Micro and Medium Enterprises scheme is a scheme that is designed to develop the business of petty traders in the country, which can alleviate the level of poverty in the country.


“We give petty traders N10,000, when they pay back we increase it to N20,000.

“This is a very good program which is designed to help hard-working citizens of this country. They should be able to have support from the government no matter how little it is,” he said

He commended the traditional ruler, Alhaji Muhammadu Bashar, for collaborating with security agencies in fighting insecurity in the state.

Na was a job of life and death, yet they receive an allowance of N1000 daily whereas those jobs pose no life risks receive daily allowances in tens of thousands of naira. Which way Nigeria?

#BokoHaramChallenge is trending No. 1 on twitter in South Africa.

South Africans has decided to go on twitter showing pictures and videos of themselves dressing up as Boko Haram terrorists and make jokes out of it.

This resulted from Nigerians threatening to call on the infamous terrorist group, Boko Haram, to “unleash revenge on South Africa.

Oyibo taught us the corruption game. We succeeded in beating them to their game but they have come fighting back but forget that we are now the title holders. Nigeria, I hail thee.

helinues:
Who was the Vice president? You mean he was so clueless that when his boss was incapacitated, he knew absolutely nothing about the contracts?

Pdp supporters wont seized to amaze someone.. So Na Buhari Una dey blame for very obvious Pdp's scamming method..

So Buhari was part of Yaradua's dining cabinets?

It has finished

I guess you were in kindergarten when Yaradua was sick. It took three months of Yaradua absence before GEJ was allowed to be an acting President. The contract was signed in January 2010 while GEJ became acting President in February, 2010. Check your history book please.

During Biafra agitation, u'll remember that Ebonyians are Igbos but Fulanis after that.

Don't mind him. If I abuse him now, they will say Igbos are not United. From his standpoint, I know where that guy is from but let me just try and hold my peace until I meet him offline.

Osagyefo98:
Please don't quote me unnecessarily if you don't have. Validation. I have strong proof and validation to my statement and wildly accepted.

This is not mere postulation but well observed lay down facts.

They can't be referred as Igbos in anyway, the link is so weak.

For saying that my state is not Igbo, then you are not a Nigerian. If fact, you're from the actic.

fiizznation:
I thought this group has been proscribed!!! So what are they protesting for on the streets holding those ugly uninspiring flags? Why isn't the Python dancing with them?

You may not believe or support them but if you read through the communique from the SE Governor's meeting yesterday, you will know that the fear of IPOB or beating is working. Let me assure this demonstration will surely produce result. I don't why some people accept anything just to prove a point in their party or tribal sentiments and not for the sake of their conscience.
