Common, these are basic without allowances, it is very good. Most people commenting don't know about salary structure and division. Basic salary is just part of total take home. And if these are basic, quite good.

Oga stop commenting on what you don't know, the salary is consolidated which means it includes everything

This is a very big salary compared to that of their American and Canadian counterparts.

The only difference is that American soldiers do get some benefits when they buy things with their army credit card; they get discount.

And their life insurance is very high that some of their wives do plan to kill their hubby if they discover he used them as next of kin


Again, if u add their allowances, you will then know that they are well paid.

Any employee in Nigeria with basic salary above 50k will be going home with more 100k.

And these guys earning 40 - 55k as basic salary usually enter the army with ordinary WAEC and nothing more.

Those ones earning between 80k - 150k as basic salary will be going home with at least 150 - 280k if u add their allowances....so they are very well paid.


The people that need their pay reviewed in Nigeria are the Police men not army

This is true, it is their take home pay including allowances monthly(Consolidated salary). They get different travelling and schooling allowances though. My younger brother is a Captain.

Did the op said it's their consolidated salary If not, it means it's their basic salary

And if this is their basic salary without allowances, then they are very well paid

But if this is their take home, then it's poor, but I doubt it's their take home

Lol someone is asking about Allowance. No such thing in the army. It's a stunt pulled by senior officers. Even an Okada man earns more than a soldier in Nigeria. After 35 years in service. It's painful the take home pay is less than 3.2 million depending on the rank you retire with. For senior officers on the rank of Major General you earn same last pay even after retirement. Up till date retired Chiefs of the Army, Air Force and Navy earns heavily as their salary keeps coming even after service.

For you who is willing to swear that a staff sergeant take home pay is #150,000. You are completely wrong. Do your investigations properly. You are wrong.

For you all wondering about that of the Air Force and Navy. There's barely no difference, only that as an Engineer or a pilot in the Air Force you earn extra stipends than your counterparts in the Army or Navy. I'm not saying the Air Force or the Navy is the most attractive. The salary scale of the military is nothing to write home about. Candid Post

It is their consolidated salary. My immediate younger brother is a captain. When he was injured I was the one doing the running around for him, each month about 220k enters his account as salary from the Nigerian military.

if you pay them higher with the guns and power they have, then the citizens are in big trouble because they will become threats to the society.

Military is a national service that comes with honor not a money making venture to go and enjoy national cake, let's get that #FACT

Not so cool then. They don't need to paid high sha, but they need to be made comfortable to enable them serve the nation with their whole heart.

I think what they need most is a very good life insurance, such that the least army personnel that dies in service should get at least 1million naira as life insurance.

Does this excludes allowance? It is quite low. Unfortunately the world is built on weird rationales the more risky and stressful your job is the less your pay seem to be.

My fourth year in the Army and no single kobo as allowance has come my way.

Oga I have handled the salary of Nigerian army for years and this is consolidated salary unless you mean allowances like daily allowance they get in war front or UN mission, there is nothing like basic salary everything is lumped. And to be honest I can lecture the op on this as he clearly posted from a website

Furthermore I don't know what you mean by small, do you know what fresh graduates earn in civil service ? Or even their perm sect ? Perm sect consolidated salary is no more than that. Of colonel when by rank a perm sect is equivalent of Major general.

This is the first time someone have come out with a real salary structure of Nigeria Army, that is all they pocket apart from special duty allowance, some times those allowances are more than ur salary, it depend, the money of private soldier is only 3000 more than that of constable in police. 2nd Lieutenant 120000 is 2000 more than Assistant Superintendent of Police, which is equivalent in rank, just a slit difference. The Army, Navy, Airforce salary is de same, they have a unify salary structure its a law, only allowances are differs. Sometimes I wonder why security operatives with high risk pocket the list salary, but this only happen in Nigeria. its pays more to be a criminal than to be a security personnel in this country because the law even protect the criminal more than u after earning much from his/her dubious act.

@OP. i totally disagree with the salaries from Warrabt officer upwards. i am telling you authoritatively that Salaries depend on your Core.- e.g Education, medical, finance, infantry etc. A warrant officer belonging to Medical core (Nurse) earns at least 124,000 every month. nt to talk of a Master warrant officer. The Medicals in the Nigerian army are well paid followed by Finance. the Infantry an Artillery Core are poorly paid. in Essence i am saying they all dobt receive d same salary even though they have d same rank. pls get your facts straight. go out and make preoper research.
