The starting point is bad.

I swear I dey fear to join Nigerian army dss.. my strength no reach 120k a month.. I no wan go die.

Truly not bad

Honestly speaking fg. of Nigeria needs to review military salary......It's Very very poor.....

well, you should include all other benefits eg housing, medical care, staff school, relocation allowance etc. also other benefits accrue from being a member of the military. and don't forget pension, and the money they pay your family if you die in service

you cant just look at the salary like you are working in a one man firm
