To live and survive in Nigeria is an exceptional skill

The Patience of Nigerians should be in the Guinness World Book of Records.

Inequality in Nigeria is the worst in the whole wide world because of the greed and insensitivity of our politicians and you still wonder why crime is at such high levels in the country?

The government of Nigeria 🇳🇬 is the seat of the wickedness

3yrs yet when Nigerians troop out to protest the same police are used by the same politicians who owe them to stop the protest.

When you have incompetent and illegitimate people in power, these are some of the outcomes. A failed state is what Nigeria is. We have to rise up against this rogue system

Nigeria really needs a big reform. It's really getting out of hand

This has been going on for decades. I visited Nigeria from the UK, I was with a cousin and we were both arrested for armed robbery. Note that I was born & raised in the UK and visiting for Christmas! The only reason I'm alive today was because the person we were meeting (a friend of my cousin) was a customs officer and he came late to the meeting place & us not being there though he saw my cousins car and asked locals where we were. We had been taken not to the police station but to a back alley somewhere.

"some"? All of them are. This is Nigeria. Where they're not paid wages and told to go earn a living.

These servicemen do they have sense at all? How can they be protecting the politicians that are making their lives miserable but turn their anger to innocent Nigerians. Why can't the junior officers talk to their superiors to tell the politicians to change for good or topple them out of power. Nonsense people

How much r our senators, governors and ministers receiving??? 😢😢😢how can a soldier be collecting 50k??? Shocking development really!!!😢

Yes the treatment given to them by the NPF is completely unfair but in fairness these were the same people that shot at us when we clamoured for a better Nigeria. The shege go catch all us!!

There are various ways Nigeria happens to people. May Nigeria never happen to us. 😢

When I see this, I understand why Somalia wants Italy back. Can the black man really really manage his own affairs? This world makes me sick the more I live here. I have been to Abuja asokoro I have seen how the top politicians n police n military guys live. Some of those mansions there are even vacant with paid help n these leaders don't even live there. N you can't pay salary 4 three years?

Thank you mama 🙏❤️. In Nigeria, the security of a nation is in the hands of hungry people… Speechless

VERY SAD SITUATION. ALMIGHTY GOD Please help Nigeria. AMEN.

"I am your girl, Adeola". We love Adeola. God bless you abundantly. Continue to soar higher and higher.

Thank you Adeola for this video. One of our problems as Nigerians is that we are just unreasonably optimistic. I wonder why someone can remain in a job for six months without other source(s) of income and still continues to do the job. I don't want to call it laziness or dumbness: what happened to going back to your village to farm? I remember that I once approached a certain government TVET college in SA for a volunteering job when I was unemployed; I was told straight that it is government policy that nobody should be employed to do government job as volunteer: that every government job must be remunerated. I see remaining in a job without being paid for more than six months and yet the supposed worker is still doing the work as the reason why such treatment has continued. We are just too docile and cowardly to fight for our rights in that country: we complain but take no action in stopping the rot.

My sister, you see this is why I pity the security agents when they team up with Politicians (our Leaders) to intimidate and "crush the masses". This is because it is still the masses that fights for their welfare and well beign when the chips a down. A lot of the "ill-treated" security agents have been able to "smile at last" by reason of support and colaboration with concerned citizens.

The appropriate title for this video is "Nigerian Security Forces Are Now Turning Recruits into Armed Robbers."

This is so shameful. On the other hand, Naigirian politicians owns private jets😂😂

Nigeria isn’t a real place , but what to do ? Watching this news is one of the most depressing things in have ever stumbled across

Sister keep on speaking, they need to hear the truth. Senators and ministers get thousands of dollars every month but the rest of workers are starving.

More grace sister. You're now beautiful and looking. Keep the good work rolling. Greetings from diaspora.

This has been going on for years….if our politicians can stop embezzling, police will be well paid and all forms of criminality will drop significantly (as Deola said, not excusing them…but calling out the politicians to do better).

Thank you Adeola for this insightful programme. It is really disheartening to hear about the poor remuneration and welfare package being given or not given as the case maybe to those who are supposed to take care of our security in Nigeria. I have heard stories of army officers who are being paid approximately 65 thousand naira per month even though they've been in service for the past twenty years or so! And thrown into this mix is the news of our lawmakers being granted vehicle allowance of 164 million naira excluding their humongous salaries and other benefits. The Vice President residence renovation costing 1.4 million naira not to talk of the stupendous costs of the President's private yacht or the first lady's security package. It is clear that until all these anomalies are corrected and the proper welfare packages and payments are made to our security agents, then the government is merely joking about securing the nation.

Ilove your jonalism. No media house in Nigeria bring news like this

Thank you Deola for bringing this up

This is bad. How can they not be paid for 3 years ????

Everytime I hear of what is happening to Nigerians it's heartbreaking 😢.

To add to this conversation my sister - Librarian lawmakers salaries U.S. Dollar $$189,900 per - senator 189,900×32 = ?? In a small country like Liberia - but the police, teachers, Dr, and others don't get their salary on time- it's damn shameful!

Hello Adeola:I just want you to know that I do watch your stories about Nigeria all the time on the internet, it seems like nothing has change in that Country that I left behind over thirty five years ago.keep up the work dear may almighty God bless you your field of endeavor.4:45pm Atlanta,Georgia USA

These are the things we were fighting for on October 8 2020.

How can you not pay your employees for three years? Meanwhile, lawmakers are paying themselves a bundle.

I really agreed with sowore statement that Nigeria police are not for Nigerians but to protect only the politicians... The oppression common Nigerian especially the poor okada riders are facing is unexplainable... So whatever happened to them I don't pity because they brought the curse upon themselves

They have always been working together with the armed robbers.

It’s just disheartening how the individuals saddled with the responsibilities of leadership in Nigeria don’t live up to their responsibilities. How will someone be tagged a “volunteer” throughout a long period serving the people…when the ones categorically elected are smiling to the banks always. It is so sad that Nigeria don’t cater for its “Senior citizens”. Very sad!

It brings tears to my heart, aha! Work for months without pay? Hope the car trackers are affordable?

The 2 police constables shouldn't have continue to work when they didn't pay them for 3 years and 3 months instead of commiting crimes. You shouldn't continue to do a job for a year when you are not being paid, if you continue it means you are receiving a benefit from it. Yes, benefit like roadside bribe.

The Senate and House of Reps members are living Large

Your skin is glowing and your skin product is working for you. Good skin care.❤

It's so wicked to pay our police offers or soldiers #50000 as salary . They are not slave for Christ sake. They have families, they should earn more than politicians .

Looking great Adeola

Is it not a shame for any government not to pay any worker. How do you expect them to feed their family. Shame on Nigeria government at all level.

It's normal in Nigeria now

Some keh? Most of them have been armed robbers! When they are working with no source of income!! Nigeria, misplaced priorities!!

My sister and some other teachers in Imo state have not been paid for over 3 years. Now some of them are retiring this year still unpaid

This what goes on in Nigeria. our Gove met do not pay if they can get away with it. Omo no be juju be that

Whereas some ghost worker salaries continue to run. This happens with the agreement of sharing or getting part of the salaries. Most are staying overseas.

This situation in Nigeria is pathetic. Where do we even start? Corruption must be tackled, but the system needs to take care of our police men and women first. Government, please take care of your teachers, workers and all those who serve us. We now see where our money is going to. Lawmakers, who are you really representing? These are very terrible situations.

Thanks for this topic, this has become the modus operandi. People working without pay pervades the country. It is ungodly and the state of the nation is directly related this injustice. " Don't be fooled for God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that must be reap" Galatians 6:7. Thanks again.

God bless u for analysis

Dear Auntie Deola those police officers did nothing wrong forget....3yrs n 3 months no salary n with weapons and they were only begging...men they are more innocent than 2face

Thank you dear. I appreciate you dear! God deliver us. This is a critical matter arising from

Thank you for this enlightenment

I actually think it should be illegal to continue working for an employer after they consecutively stop paying your salary for a maximum of three months. I cannot rationalise why an adult with freedom of choice would choose to remain a staff of an employer who doesn't pay wages for months or years. Since adults cannot rationalise and find another form of employment after not being paid for years, we should then reverse the law to make adults who continue to stay in unpaid, non voluntary, contractual employment subject to the law for enabling their employers to get away with impunity. If you channel the energy and resources you expend in unpaid work over a number of months or even years into any low income work like farming or even washing people's laundry, you'll be more productive and enjoy a better standard of living no matter how mundane.

Thank you for your coverages,we practice capitalism without human face,most of our leaders are just wicked,shikenna !!!!

My younger brother died serving leaving 3 young children then, till date no gratuity no compensation, nothing. The system stinks.

Adeola, Could you use your platform to locate that soldier needing to go see his parents? Good job 👏🏽

You must be a hero to survive in this country called Nigeria.

This is heartbreaking💔💔💔

E don dey shele taytay! These days, does the salaries of many POs buy a bag of rice?

I May not be suprised 😂😂😂😂

The crime rate in Abuja right now is really high. Kidnapping happens everyday. We are mostly indoors now except going out becomes unavoidable

This is true May God help this our country

Thanks for this footage. It's interesting. It's not just about the police, and the army officers, it's also about all average Nigerians. People are suffering in Nigeria.. 😭🇳🇬😭🇳🇬😭

Revolution now! Where is Sowore?! We have to continue.

What kind of society is this , How can people work and don't get paid ?

Though not excused, but what does Nigeria government expect it's entire citizens including the force men and women to do in the middle of this grave poverty. Impoverishing it's whole citizens. This is so inhumane.

Oga ontop are the only ones that eats it all both in politics and forces

It is difficult to have pity on members of the Nigeria Police Force because they are evil epitomized when dealing with Nigerians. However, the two fired constables, based solely on the video on Itchy Boots' camera, could not legally be found guilty of soliciting bribes in any environment where the law operates normally; I was stunned that no Nigeria-based lawyer helped them. Notwithstanding, people and retirees must be paid what they are contractually eligible, especially in Nigeria where billions are being spent to rehabilitating housing for VP, et al.

How do you expect them to survive if you don't pay them? Can we blame them for extorting people?

This is heartbreaking.

This is so sad. A country with so much potentials and such evil leaders.

Why the shock? It’s been like that from the beginning 😢

I'm speechless

i like your hair style Adeola

We all fought for democracy but we, the masses are now living below the poverty level while the politicians are living large. The politicians spent four years in office, they collect gratuities, and reverence allowance, and put themselves on pensions. The civil servant who spent thirty-five years in office would retire, his gratuity, not paid, and his pension, not paid. He returns to his village to stay in his late father's house, with nothing to show for his years in the urban areas. The situation is that "the government is killing goats for the people and the people are eating the goats with their mouth".

This country called Nigeria na non sense, the government are over useless.

I will never pity for the Army and the police cos they need to protest just like in Argentina where all the whole police department protested for bad pay and the government changed immediately..Nigerian police and Army should do same.. by the time that they is no policemen to guard these useless politicians they will do the needful

❤❤❤❤❤Ade

Useless set of police we have in Nigeria 😢 God will help us 🙏

What's really wrong with Nigeria if the stories about non-payment of salaries of workers , particularly policemen and soldiers , are true . Is Nigeria a failed state , or maybe it is fast becoming one ? It's such a disgrace and a shameful situation for the so-called Africa's largest economy .

Nigeria is a disgrace for the entire Africa. what is the meaning of this? appointed by the governor or the federal, is still Nigeria. The compound fracture of governance in Nigeria need specially experience surgeons to fix the broken system. Very sad for an African super power to be this type. Aba, is a shame oh..

Nigeria need Revolution😎

Am a Gambian and this is shocking I thought late monthly payment is terrible but not been paid for months is horrible I think our big brother can do better than this😢.

How do we wrap our heads around this. Just hearing this I need a shrink 😢

What goes around comes around ...they also don't feed innocent prisoners they raided and put behind bars ..so they should spare me the foul cry of not being paid after being laid off and not fed for 15 days in prison ...we were protesting and seeking for better pay for them during the endsars protest but they stupidly were against us...una never see anything...

😢😅 Nigeria : Where Is Nigeria Heading For? Where Is Africa Heading To?

I love you ad, you are very beautiful and breathtaking as a journalist. God continue to bless you and family and staff.💝💓💞💗💖❤️❣️♥️❤️‍🩹💕💐🌹💋

Why is the soldier complaining about his salary? When we hit the street and protest for bad governance and police brutality didn't they shoot life bullets on the protesters? We are all in together. You protect & respect the thieves and you maltreat the innocent people on the street.

The question is why don't they quit if they don't get paid? Because if they resign rather than commit a crime, the government will do the right thing, because they need people to do this security work. I don't know if the Nigerian authorities feed people in jail, in Cameroon if you don't have money or relatives to bring you food, you will die of hunger.

Nigeria need immediate deliverance

No be today

While few of those so-called millionaires flying around in jets ,showing off their wealth

Three days ago police officers forced me to transfer 50k from my account via POS. Its disgraceful. I will run to a thief rather than a police officer

I am not yet convinced that a force man securing a country wit his life is receiving salary of 50k, wat a wicked govt is this, fools like them r driving car of 150milion each while they citizens r dying in hunger.. the western r paying they force up to #3m in a month .. Wen Peter obi was saying this all of you was against him du to tribalism, not up to 6months in power tinubu has turn nigeria up side down...

True ma

Nigeria seems to get worse each passing year

This is terrible, Not payed for 3 years 😮😮😮😮
