Nigerian soldiers are going through a lot...


Their top military brass are probably even more useless than politicians!

These are the profitable contracts that wont allow insecurity to end.

Their commanders are behind all these..

I can't believe the Nigerian Army can't still properly feed Soldiers fighting within Nigeria territory in The Year 2026

This is why I always say Nigerians should key into commonsense to be empathetic with our armed forces personnel. Police, Army etc and unitedly demand they must be paid and rewarded far, far better

We treat them worse than street dogs, pay them pittance and expect Sherlock Holmes level of integrity and crime-fighting from them.

Yet an averagely intelligent adult Nigerian should know demotivation for service is normal when men and woman who risk their lives so we all sleep well at night, and go about our business in the day productively, are treated the worst, in comparison to their compatriots worldwide, while our senators are probably some of the best paid politicians in the entire world.

Below are images of American soldiers eating Steak and lobsters. Many will own homes as well, have solid pensions, likely two vehicles in their household and many renumeration that makes them able to focus on their job and give 💯%. Ditto for the UK and most developed nations.

This is particularly why I dislike Sowore immensely. He knows this reality, as someone who has lived in the USA, but he will be fighting Nigerian policemen on Airport road Ikeja and trying to portray them as corrupt, for optics to burnish his political career, when he should be the one fighting for an overhaul of pay and renumeration packages for men and women of our armed forces.

We are in trouble because institutional and deep reforms, in virtually every sector of socio-economic life, are what we need and most Nigerians don't understand this. No miracle we can do to suddenly undo the severe damage done over the past 50 to 60. Years.

Renewed shege banza hope . Nobody can name one good thing tinubu has done for Nigeria in the past almost 4 years apart from the uncompleted Lagos calabar highway

They are. Our entire armed forces are. We should fight for them more. Instead we attack them, never emphatise with them and expect them to be Rambo.

Motivation for work, especially critical for armed forces personnel who risk their lives daily, is very important.

Many nations of the world, bar Nigeria, understand that treating the men and women of their armed forces well is the way to keep them efficient, motivated, capable of rising above corruption and dedicated to operating with integrity and professionalism always.

Instead, in Nigeria, we make politicians very wealthy and over-privileged superstars and relegate virtually all others. Including men and women of the armed forces who may not return home from every shift they start.

We can all see the decrepit living conditions of our police officers below and Nigerians will be attacking them for being corrupt and unprofessional.

Meanwhile legislators all live in luxurious mansions in Asokoro, Maitama , have at least 4 vehicle convoy each and even have yearly allowance for newspapers.
