This is just disgracing this country... How can ex servicemen be owed salary? Tomorrow they say that South East do not want to join military or something...how can people join when they put their lines there and they aren't appreciated and owed salary

This is shameful.... I want to believe that BAT isn't aware of this

How can you say such a terrible thing?

all of us have had bad and sometimes terrible experiences with the Nigerian police

the Nigerian police are at best a mercenary force who have to be paid to do their job and whose core directive is to harass and obtain

a police man has no qualms about raping or robbing

so they are extremely unsympathetic and it is hard to feel sympathy for what comes across as karma for all the misery they have inflicted

In as much I have compassion for this police men, they were the ones who were shielding unscrupulous politicians, when citizens demanded for a better Nigeria, now the hen has come home to roost. everybody is now feeling the heat.

The active police officers should tiagas them coz they are civilians now. That's what they usually do to unarmed peaceful protesters when they were active in service. Make dem see as e dey be.

They should be teargased as they always do to protesting people as well.

They should gettout. No one should support them.

It baffles me the way some people reasons in Nigeria.
But people like you will come out to insult NPF but praise the government that kept them the way they are

I understand that but we also know they have terrible conditions of work. Besides, entitlements are entitlements.

Gotocourt:
PENCOM will collapse when NPF exits🤷🏿📌💯.

.
All Bankers are under PenCom. They are more than Police

Akaujaa:
So they couldn't save from the bribe they collected from innocent Nigerians over the years through intimidation and harassment.

Very useless talk, so politicians that steals your future and still pay themselves bountiful benefits are not Nigerians?
The way we reason, Nigeria will never be good

when Nigerians will be presenting for good governance for all citizens including for police, una go dey stop them. see now, the same government you once protected is the one doing you bad by not paying your pension. next time, support Nigerians when they are on the street protesting for good governance.

What's terrible in what I said? They've always been acting in the interest of their pocket and oppressing and masses. When we protest against poor governance in Nigeria, they'll take side with the government to attack us. Let them also experience poor governance. Some of them were most likely among those that shot at us during #endSARS. Again, no one should support them.

Oxygenmayo:
I think all protest should be taken to Aso Rock gate. Let's check if they will kpai the protesters there

I believe that's the best way to protest, instead of causing a standstill on roads or looting someone's house or shop. A protest brought directly to the door of the president shows a terrible leader.

And they will be dispersed by current serving police officers

where is Vdm the online police officer?

We know. Nonetheless they are also people who suffered terrible conditions of work.

Eyah I won't be shocked if a sizable number of them participated in shooting defenceless youths which led to the endsars protest!

I won't be perplexed if they collected funds from their oppressors to stop free and fair elections in some parts of the country!

Today most of them are now retired and broke with no hope of the future....
They are now the ones protesting!

The interesting part is that the active and operational policemen are the ones trying to chase their former colleagues away from aso rock forgetting that they will also be in that position or predicament one day!

If they had supported and joined several protests by the youths on the welfare of policemen and women,those same youths would have been in the crowd protesting on their behalf!

Una go learn una lesson!
There is collective consequences!

It's not only military or paramilitary alone that should be exempted from this wicked pension contributory scheme it should be completely abolished for every civil servants,no workers deserve to be under the scheme.

Pay every retirees their full pension money at retirement and let them go and do whatever they like with their money, someone who has spent 35 years in service or reached age of 60 should be able to know what to do with his or her pension money.

Lies,you people are not dying,the money that they paid you people for oppressing the masses while in service is enough for you and families to survive till eternity.So stop disturbing us and face your challenges.We Nigerians have other things worrying us and seeking sympathy from us we cannot give,,face your paymasters who hsd used and dump you people.

brain54:
We have heartless politicians...


Retirees should be taken care of and compensated for the service they put in through the years.


How can someone work 35 years with no adequate measures to take care of them after retirement?


But the same politicians don't waste time to sign bills and laws on their welfare when it concerns them.


Nigeria needs a change in orientation... we can't continue this way. This is not the way to build a country!

When we protest for good governance
It’s this same police they use against us.
Now they are civilians 35 in service and the government is showing them pepper

useless govt ..how can a govt exist without paying pension to its public servants ...the police officers currently in post should be very worried

They should be shot or they should use tear gas on them.. When we say act with church or mosque mind when in service you lots refused, thought retirement day or going back to be a civilian will never come.. I have no pity on them and their wards. If it's any other Nigerian group that tries this.. It will be gun shots by now.

Are they not the one promoting these bad government all these years? Politicians use them to intimidate people and rig election over a#5000 naira bribe. They think it will last forever, love what they are reaping, so others still in service could learn.

They are not serious.


When they were in service, politicians used them to kpai brave youths protesting for a better Nigeria, una suffer never even start.


Abeg Tinubu should not mind these retired law breakers

Maybe this one's no collect bribe, 🤷 what do you want me to say

DSS need to shoot them at sight without any questioning because they are terrorists

They’re reaping the fruits of their Labour…

It's good that you're going through this. Shebi una dey teargas us during protest for a better Nigeria. Na hunger go kill all of una

Where is Sowore?
