Between the chief of defence staff of the Nigerian armed forces, the Minister of defence of the Federal republic and the national security Adviser, who is superior?

Let's assume an unknown soldier is more likely to obey his superior in the armed force than a civilian who is a minister or advisor, and we all agree the President by law, is empowered to command troops on a strategic level and in every other circumstance(Uncle Joe doesn't). My question is this, What's the job description of the Minister of defence and the national security adviser. Apart from the advantage in the form of advisory influence that they have on the President, is the Minister of defence superior to the Chief of defence staff according to the Nigerian constitution?

Secondly, is Ola Ibrahim still the Chief of defence staff?

Big men in big post, all with no result. They all have no job apart from sharing money. If they have any job description, is it related to security at all? Boko haram leader has made himself the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed and Unarmed forces of federal Republic of Nigeria and relegated GEJ to fighting governors here and there and lieing on TV in the name of media chat.

Nothing works in Naija, so i might something and my Oga at the top will say another thing....Seriously and Hypothetically, CODS as the name implies is the professional and ethical head of the Armed forces. the Hon Minister is a mere layman, a politician and administrator of d Min of Defence... The NSA is a big gun.. an adviser, strategist and intel officer to the office of the Executive/Presidency...He oversees National and Internatnal Intelligence, just as the Attorney-general and Surveyor-general oversee judiciary and land matters. So all in all, whether in Military or Democratic govt, the NSA is the Oga at the top, cos he oversees intelligence ( Police SSS Immigration Army Navy Airforce Home affairs International relations Witches and Wizards) and also speaks directly into the Presidents ears.

They are all political appointees.

In the ministry of defence, the minister of defence holds sway, the chief of defence staff reports to him.

National security adviser is just a domestic staff of the president. His advice may or may not hold water so he's just the president other ear.

In chronological order,
The president
The defence Minister
The chief of Defence
National security adviser

Funny but with elements of truth...
