It is a good thing to increase their salaries,but have it in mind that no matter the amount you pay police,they will still collect bribe,they will still block road and collect from drivers. This is because they sees it as their birth right once they carry guns and put on black or blue.....
The best thing the so called FG would have done is to lay a serious law against police collecting bribes.
The federal government should know that by increasing their salaries,they have ended up increasing the bribe they will collect from people because there is no strong law that will stop them from collecting bribes. Am sure drivers will have to pay more

Are you kidding me? Dude are you in Nigeria? Or are you a kid? The extortions from police have nothing to do with their salary. They make returns to the CP and IGP. This is what we expected the President to address which he hasn't. What it means is that the extortion will continue because it is a direct order from above.

It sure has something to do with their pay. They extort for personal gains as well. Be honest, their salary is nothing to write home about. They should be well paid so as to eliminate the excuse of underpayment.
That's why I said increasing their pay is a step in the right direction, and that hopefully it will reduce (not eliminate) the amount of extortions.

Buhari has increased police salary and states have setup judicial panels to inquire into cases of police brutality so PLEASE STOP PROTESTING

Some Nigerians mistook our disbandment of SARS as weakness...


Nothing said about lekki shooting.


We have a blood sucker as president , a dictator.....

You lost a loved one at Lekki gate shooting?

WonderManly:
Yes! But you are not!

I don't think you're ok. Compare and contrast your comment to that of president Buhari's speech. Your comment should be classified as gibberish. Your comment is full of hate( u just wish something bad would happen to Buhari, or at least, that he would disappear from your life).
Actually, since the overall effects of hatred are so physically harmful and emotionally, I advise you to say no to hatred.

Soulsymbol99:
if police felt their salaries were poor they should hv protested on their own.no be them we do protest for.

Then you don't know why you protested

We won't stop, where is tinubu? Lives were lost at the toll gate, he must produce his son or daughter for execution too

Any task without a delivery timeline is useless.

You must be an exposed individual.

What about senators, reps, governors, etc wage reduction

And if any police officer and any other security officials collect bribe, they must be sacked

Guys be careful of this moniker and the likes here on nairaland. Do not allow paid low ass modafvckers to spite you against your fellow youths out there. Either yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, we now have a common Goal; we youths are now more united than ever before. We are all in this together! Even the Hausa youths are protesting! So we have passed that stage of petty tribal wars


Do not reply them and Act as though they do not exist. Then watch them disappear into oblivion. Thanks

I Love this. Too matured

I hope you are not typing this from Nigeria. Please those of us that know what is going on here know that police extortions have nothing to do with their salary. If you don't know this then you are not a Nigerian. How much does a Phd receive in Nigeria? Some are receiving 40,000. While some are receiving less or even jobless. While the lowest rank in the police force receives above #40,000. Yet he still stands on the highway to extort the little from Nigerians. When you look at the general economy of Nigeria, you will agree that the police are well paid. The problem is that everyone wants to compare his/her pay with that of the politicians(who I call thieves). What we need is drastic reduction of the politicians income by reducing allowances, making a Unicameral legislature, etc. Then there will be money for Education, health and Security.

If the extortions was not an order from above, do you think the IGP will put a ban on road block and a DPO will order his boys to disobey the order? Continue deceiving yourself there. SARS has not ended at all. It has only been modified. Senator Misau had said all these before. You can google senator Misau vs IGP and see the revelations brought forward. In our various lives we have police officers as friends, brothers, uncles, father, in-laws, etc. So we know the reasons for the extortions. I am surprised the government is feigning ignorance.

so all this sufferings and killing the youth subject themselves to, is only for the welfare of those criminals called police. What about the ban on rice importation that have made every other food stuff price sky rocket. The agenda of this protest is nothing but a miss placed pirority.mtchew

goltokka:
How does this put food on the common man's table? How does it bring down prices of food stuff? How does it bring about jobs for the unemployed youths? This is totally out of point. Even if an average police is paid 1million it won't stop him or her from collecting bribe .

undiluted truth! Some youth of this country is very dumb! They do not know what is good for them. They just wash their hands and break palm kernel for the vulture.

Police officers salary should be augmented in a way that they will be contented with their income. They are doing a high risk job, and no insurance cover their lives. It is not dignifying for our uniform officers to be collecting bribe and been a threat to the citizens they should protect.

:Good one .. police reform step 2 .. lets stop the destruction pleaseWe won't stop, where is tinubu? Lives were lost at the toll gate, he must produce his son or daughter for execution too

God bless you I noticed their evil scheme's through most of their comments. I believe we are wiser now, by God's grace we won't be fooled again by these politicians come 2023, in Jesus mighty name AMEN.

Medicine after death, papa bubu go and resign.

So jibrin is saying police has been killing our yoot because of poor salary?
Or does he want to pay them more because they are killin the yoots?

So Nigerians were fighting for betterment of Police,yet same police were indiscrimately killing same youth even when they were peacefully protesting.Every Nigeria Police who killed or colluded to kill any youth during this protest and beyond will use whatever increase/ new salary they pay him/her to bury his/her children too.Wicked idiots.Awon Were.

Can you all just imagine. So, after all this so called long time rehearsal and with all days and nights sleeping at the recording studio. So he has nothing to say than: This lifeless, speechless, senseless meaningless, nonsense and useless words/speech "talk". Rubbish!

Nothing would have impressed you.

Of all the demands listed by the youths to stop this protest, this is the one this president considered as a priority now. What about freeing detained protesters and compensation for the families of the deceased protesters?

battymann:
Then you don't know why you protested

Dont think they r the only ones wit poor salary scale.unless they r saying other sectors should do the needful so that their matter will be considered.then salary of politicans should be slashed wot a chainsaw.
