We miss the point a lot. We expect police officers whose salaries can barely
feed our own pets to be up and doing
at dilapidated rat holes called police
stations. When they leave their
workplaces for the barracks, they stay
in some of the most demeaning housing
projects you’d see anywhere in the
world. We want them to serve and
protect with integrity but right from the
point they are hired, we take their
dignity away from them. We can
pretend all we like, but the mess we
see in our system is the mess we
invested in it.

Channels Television got knocks from
those who ought to praise it for
bringing the state of the Police College
Ikeja under public scrutiny. They said it
was done to discredit the President, the
same way anyone who points out the
way to make our country better is said
to do it to discredit the President. How
can a President who hardly has
anything going for his government
continue to assume citizens who want
the best for him as President would
want to take away the little credit he
has going for him?

The flies which perch around the sugar
offered by power often forget that this
is about our country first and foremost
before it is about whoever is running it.
Power comes and goes, countries
remain for longer. What Channels
Television showed of the Police College,
Ikeja was not an outlier, it is the normal
reality of filth, lack, hunger and penury
that have bedevilled the force. It is
even getting worse now!
Many of us want our soldiers to help
#BringBackOurGirls now and alive, in
reference to the abducted #ChibokGirls.
While we make that much needed call,
let us also spare a thought for these
men of the armed forces. Think about
it; they read newspapers, they listen to
the radio and at times watch the news.
They know all about the trillions
budgeted for security every year and
they also know all about the poverty
that comes with doing what they do.
They know that cronies of our rulers are
feeding off their allocations. They are
privy to the fact that children of their
bosses will feed them and their fellow
soldiers for years with wealth accrued
from denying their rights as the
defenders of the Nigerian people. They
defend our country with their lives, this
while the country hardly pays attention
to ensuring each soldier lives a
respectable life. Politicians steal from us
for decades, die and have streets
named after them; our soldiers die in
battlefields like the falling of the branch
of a small tree in the forest, we hardly
notice. No glory in life, no glory in
death yet, we expect them to chase
glory for our country. Or, as in the case
of the Chibok schoolgirls, rescue them
fast and now! Let us at least face it;
this is one difficult country to do good!
It is easier to see those serving today
and imagine how tough things are in a
country where “corruption is not
stealing and stealing is not corruption”
as long as you steal enough to donate
to powerful people for elections. If they
were abandoned and forgotten while
they are serving, imagine what happens
when age calls and they must be
retired? Retired officers are some of the
poorest of our country’s 54 per cent
extremely poor population. We sing,
“The labour of our heroes past shall
never be in vain,” and some of us
actually think that line of the national
anthem only refers to the dead ones
who fought for our Independence. We
should know better. Most of our heroes
and heroines are still living and the bulk
of them are living in poverty and
squalour. Their labour has been in vain
not only for the nation they fought for
and defended with their lives, that
labour has been in vain even for their
personal lives.
We rightly or wrongly like to compare
our officers with their United Kingdom
or United States counterparts. A new
police constable in the UK receives
about N5.8 million/year. This eventually
rises to about N10 million/year. Apart
from this basic, the officers receive a
London weighting and allowances
amounting to about N1.7m. Added to
these monetary benefits are annual
leave reaching 30 days and not less
than 22 days depending on one’s length
of service. This is apart from public
holidays and the average two rest days
per week. Other benefits include
maternity, paternity and adoption leave,
special leave with pay, special leave
without pay, parental leave and career
breaks of up to five years (See http://
www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/
newconstable/pay_and_benefits.html).
When next you expect so much from
our police officers, ask yourself, how
much has our system given into their
welfare and livelihood?
As the benefits of being a police officer
in the UK are as far from that of being
one in Nigeria, the same applies to
other service units including the Army,
Navy and Air Force.
In our country, a few men and women
are feeding fat on the destinies and
livelihoods of the majority yet our so-
called leaders are always quick to spout
tales of patriotism and dedication to
service. Who wouldn’t be dedicated to
service with the benefits listed above?
Mind that those numbers apply to the
most junior of officers.
It started from us. First, the military
overthrew the irresponsible civilians,
then the military took over power. Not
willing to share the responsibilities of
power with the police, the military
crippled the police and treated them
like scum. Today, the police are in a
worse state than the scum left by the
military. When civilians took over power
in 1999, one of the first shots fired was
at the military, some would argue
rightly so, seeing as the military had got
so used to having political power for so
long. Out of fear of the military,
successive civilian governments have
found a way to allocate enough money
to the top echelons of the military to
get them fat and keep them fat while
forgetting that the rank and file is the
fulcrum of military might. By our own
selves, we have hurt our pride and
strength. A country that was once the
saviour of Africa, an Army that was
once the pride of West Africa, now
needs the support of Ghana, to fight
insurgents. We have come so far.
Ghana in 2013 allocated about N51.3bn
to defence while Nigeria allocated about
N348.9bn in the same year. Based on
these numbers, Nigeria’s defence
spending is about seven times that of
Ghana. That in itself is to be expected,
what is not to be expected is that we
would be needing Ghana’s help to fight
insurgents in our country. We have
come so far.
A time comes in the history of a nation
when it must look at itself and ask itself
pertinent questions. At the moment,
our country is like an old man with
many grandchildren, many children
poor and desolate yet this old man
wakes every morning thinking all is well
and he calls his rich and not so rich
friends to come party with him. Our old
man wants the world to see he is rich
and great but those who live with the
old man know that all his claims of
transformation are lies fed to the most
gullible of his offspring. You have to
fear for this old man. God bless every
soul serving this country, in the midst
of plenty, yet, living on the crumbs
from the table of Father Abraham, sorry
Nigeria

All these occultic religious members parading this thread with insult, am very sure you know the man in question? Unlike other pastors, this pastor's yearly prophecies always come to pass, look for 2013 prophecies & confirm.
All of you knows the truth, you're only lamenting because he has been dealing with your satanic kingdom, may the Almighty God reward you all according to your comments.

Was the crash as a result of failed engine, low fuel, or bird strike?

Nairaland GeneralChristians & Christmas On FOCUS! by johnwell(op): 3:11pm On Dec 30, 2013
Imagine Christianity & her Christians; why are we always confused? Why do we lack the knowledge of His Word? Why do we allow tradition, culture & indoctrination tear us apart? Is this the same people Jesus came & suffer for?
Christmas, they say;
How do you celebrate?
Where do you celebrate?
What do you use in celebration?
In the club? In the brothel? In the hotel room? In the bush? In the bar? on the roadside at night dressing half-naked? In carnivals celebrating the idols & gods of the land (idolatory); ignorantly renewing generational curses & covenants? where & how do you celebrate the remembrance of His birth? How does God view your celebration? What are you celebrating with? Gin? beer? cutllers? pistol? broken-bottles? blood? strong wine? tyres? Ask yourself these questions; no wonder God said in Jeremiah 4:22...
"My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good". (NIV)
