While watching the money show this morning,I learnt the salaries of Armed Forces personnel has been hiked by 15%.Dont think this is enough,but I belive its a step in the right direction.I think more emphasis should be placed on welfare and a good pensions scheme.Also,training and lots of orientation should be given to them.They should be made to feel important and made to love what they do.Let them see service as an honour,not a last gasp resort for jobless people or frustrated humans.Members of the public should be made to see armed forces personnel as humans(honourable people) and not the suspicious way they are viewed.Service to the fatherland should be an honour.

Well,this is coming as no surprise at all.Government handling of the welfare of its citizens is very bad.Ask yourself this:what will you gain(in any aspect at all) if you die for nigeria?These servicemen have no insurance,their widows go through hell to get their benefits,pension is not aptly paid, and so on.I am however not using this to justify their actions,I am only saying the government put them in that position.However,there's good news, just heard their salaries has been increased by 15%.thats a good start,i believe.We'll get there someday!In the meantime, ,I beleive in the Nigerian dream.God bless Nigeria.
