Following reports about crime involving security personnel, one user left a troubling comment: “You dey put hungry and underpaid soldier in charge to secure your country. All of una na mumu.” While it’s true that soldiers and other security operatives in Nigeria often face poor wages and welfare, using this as a justification for crime is wrong. Being underpaid does not make criminality acceptable—if anything, it highlights the urgent need to advocate for better salaries, improved working conditions, and proper reforms. Ending the statement with an insult to Nigerians only shifts blame to the wrong people instead of addressing leadership failures and systemic issues.
