Nigeria Police Going on Strike Soon Over Unpaid Salaries

Tweet For delaying the payment of their January salary, junior officers in the Nigeria Police have threatened to embark on strike. Most of the junior officers from the Lagos State Police Command said they are embarking on strike anytime next week to force the authorities to pay their salaries. “We are going to drop our guns and batons next week if the government fails to pay our salaries,” a junior officer at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID,said. The officer decried a situation where salaries of law enforcement officers will be delayed by the government knowing full well that they face a lot of temptations in the performance of their duties. Investigations revealed that the threat to embark on strike by junior officers did not start now but the police authorities have been managing the situation. “The situation is getting worse. Many of us are finding it difficult to pay our bills. We can’t pay our children’s school fees as a result of the delay in the payment of our salaries,” the junior officer lamented. Further investigations revealed that many of the officers have children in higher institutions and they have been putting pressure on their parents to pay their school fees. “Many of us have more than one wife and many children to cater for. Our children’s school fees have been increased and the salary remains the same. Do you know that some secondary schools are charging fees higher than some tertiary institutions? And for each child, I pay nothing less than N80,000 per term. I have five children in different private schools,” a deputy superintendent of police, DSP, at the Command’s headquarters on Oba Akinjobi Road, Ikeja, lamented. A junior officer at Oduduwa Crescent where MOPOL 20 is based, also lamented the late payment of salaries of policemen, saying it has the tendency of killing morale of policemen. “I have three children in the university, two are in private secondary schools preparing to write their senior secondary school certificate examination, SSCE. If my salary is not paid on time, where do I get the money to pay? I can’t go and rob,” he said. A police constable at the SARS, Ikeja also lamented: “I joined the police four years ago. I have two children schooling at the Police Staff Children School here in Ikeja with high school fees. I am the breadwinner of my family but now that my salary is not paid, how do I pay my children’s school fees? Also, there is a particular drug my mother is using and it is very costly. How do I buy this drug for her now that I don’t know when I will be paid? If the strike is real, I’m ready to join them. If the strike will make government pay our salaries, then I will join them,” he stated.

On what could be responsible for the delay in the payment of salaries of policemen, an Inspector at the Police Traffic Division in Agege volunteered: “Maybe they want to use our salaries to renovate the dilapidated Police College as exposed by a television station recently.” A police Sergeant at the same department blamed the authorities for the contempt with which an average policeman is held by the public: “They don’t want us to collect bribe and they are still holding on to our salaries, what do they want us to live on? We have been saving peoples’ lives but they are not taking care of us. This is a fight we must fight,” he said. When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP , said: “I’m not aware of any impending strike within the force.”

Tiwa Savage Engaged On Her Birthday

Tweet The Sensational singer Tiwa Savage has been engaged by her boyfriend/manager Tunji ‘Tee Billz on the night she celebrated her 33rd birthday. Tiwa had no inkling that this was coming; she was shocked when in the heat of the party ‘Tee Billz went down on his knees in the presence of friends and colleagues and in a very emotional voice proposed to her. She said YES. The moment was witnessed by a few celebrity friends, including Tiwa’s Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy, Dr SID, Banky W, Beat FM Personality Toolz and several others. Tiwa in the past had repeatedly denied any romantic link with Tee Billz who on his own part made no comments either. It’s evident now that they’d both been living a lie. At some point it was rumoured that they had gotten married; Tiwa effortlessly stamped it out in her tweets. With this engagement, Tiwa can now heave a sigh of relief as a lot of the pressure from the media and fans will be off her. Big congratulations to them both.

Relationships Are like Trees

Tweet Have you ever been to any orchard? I am sure we all have seen at least a few of them like orange, mango, cashew, coconut, chiku and many more. Did you notice friends, how these trees are planted? There is always a gap between any two grown up trees. Every tree needs some space to grow properly. It needs the right amount of light, soil, water, mineral and loving hands of a farmer. When all these needs are being taken care of well then only the tree grows the way the farmer wants it to be. Similarly, all relationships too need some space to grow. They also need right amount of all ingredients including love and affection to take a proper shape, any relationship is like the four pillars of a temple. They are together, but they cant come very close to each other and if they do so, the walls of the temple would fall off, it would collapse. So friends, all relationships need a proper space to grow! A tree is planted today but bears fruits only after a particular period, when it reaches maturity. Similarly, our relationships also bear fruits at a later date. We shouldn't expect anything right from the beginning. Big trees give shelter to all passersby without any expectations. And I have noticed that true, matured relationships too provide mental, emotional and physical shelter (support) to all. Deeper the roots, stronger the hold of a tree. Similarly deeper the understanding, stronger the relationship. When the winds are blowing harsh, the trees sway in the direction of wind and only those who do so, survive. Others are uprooted. Similarly, there are occasions when we just need to overlook a few things, just let them go, just flow with the wind. Only such relationships pass the test of hard times and survive even in not so favorable conditions. Thus friends! Relationships are like trees, if nurtured with utmost love and care, will bear sweet fruits of love, compassion, strong emotional bonding and care.

Ask her to lie on her belly, legs apart, and hips rotated slightly upwards. 2. Insert two fingers (palm down) and carefully explore the front wall of her vagina with a firm touch. 3. Reach under her body and place your other hand on her abdomen, just above the pubic hairline, and apply a soft, downward pressure. This often helps to stimulate her G-Spot. Position one Guide her on to her hands and knees, with her buttocks raised and her head down. Kneel behind her and grasp her by her waist.
