Nigerian singer Harrysong has issued a passionate plea to President Bola Tinubu, calling for urgent action to address insecurity in the country. In a direct message on social media, the artist wrote:
“TO MR PRESIDENT
IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA, start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, air force, and the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary. This job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooo. Pls and pls.”
Harrysong’s message resonates with many Nigerians who feel that the welfare of security personnel is a critical factor in the fight against crime. With kidnappings, armed robbery, and other violent crimes on the rise, citizens have repeatedly called for stronger support for those on the frontline.
By highlighting the need to increase salaries and allowances, Harrysong points out that properly compensated and motivated security officers are more likely to perform their duties effectively, putting their lives on the line with dedication and courage.
The singer’s plea has sparked reactions online, with many agreeing that fair pay for the armed forces is not just a reward, but a necessity for national security.
