[Glorias desk] There are those who believe higher pay for the Nigerian police will translate to police efficiency, as well as bring an end to police bribery and corruption. I do not believe higher pay to the police will curb the police corruption that has plunged Nigeria to its present state. In Nigeria, your monetary value depends on how well you are treated by the police. This is how I see it: it is like a teenager caught stealing candies at the supermart, and he in-turn blamed his act on his poor family background. Could such an act be justified by his excuse? Nigerian police officers are like this teenager, they believe fat salary will keep them away from taking bribes just the same manner the teenager believes rich family would have kept him from stealing. I do not subscribe for higher pay for the police until the institution is sufficiently re-structured.
