Well.. see rank...the ladder to climb for 1 million naira 😂

A General earning N1.5 million a month whereas a Major earning a paltry N300,000 is a wide disparity.

F

So poor!
Not worth dying for.

Chaiii,and governments and Nigerians are nagging about insecurity with all this peanut salaries to military men's that want to lay down their life for a country?

RapistOnBail:
Omo I hold money pass General for army but I no get power.

You use your money to buy power or buy those with power

A Nigerian army general earns less than $1,000 and u expect insurgency and banditry to end anytime soon?

maxiuc:


NDA the surest way to enjoy military Life.

Promotion upon promotion without seeing battle front

Who told you you wouldn't see battle front?

now go ahead and tell us about the looting structure.

Omor e better make you no enter Army through Recruit oooo

The salary structure in this country perpetuates poverty.

Why should an NCO that has put in over 20 years in the military (manytimes with a family) with all the transfers and risks involved be on less than 100k? Where does experience and years of service sit?

There should be a good overlap between higher ranked NCO and COs. I see no reason why a warrant officer can't earn as much as a lieutenant colonel. These are very experienced folks with good education many of whom were only unfortunate to be from poor families and hence didn't have the 'legs' to get into the NDA

Also, the pay appreciation with the higher ranked COs is too much in comparison to lower ranks.

For starters, no rank should be more than 10x that of a private. If a private or LC is on 50-60k, then a general should not be on more than 600k. Take the UK for example. A general earns grossly about 6x that of a private. Guess what? That General would end up paying relatively more tax so his take home would be about 3-4x that of lower ranked NCOs. Thats how to adress poverty and make sure higher ranked officers are concerned about the living condition of lower ranked colleagues.

You shouldn’t join the military just for money. I know soldiers should be able to earn a decent living while serving their country, but there should be some patriotism attached to it. Some advanced countries have reservists that get paid meagre amount and can be called at short notice to fight.



Military service is not for everyone because it needs bravery, dedication and being able to pay the ultimate price for your country.

The Nigerian military is currently working on living conditions of our military men, and they shouldn’t relent in their duty.

The recently announced life assurance is a big step, together with remodelled housing, pension, and allowances will go a long way in boosting moral.

What Nigeria should prioritise is making our military men come back alive by fighting with the best equipment and training.

50k to go into the bush to face
better armed outlaws, while your
ogas refuse to feed you well❗️❗️😕😕😕

Can we have that of our political office holders?

This is educative....

All my friends that are in the rank of 1 star and 2 star and captain are not even earning more than me...

They are only enjoying the privileged of their uniform...

Little wonder they seek alms to make do. Lord have mercy.

The op is confused. Kindly disregard this nonsense the op posted. He doesn't even understand the military ranks well. This post is absolute nonsense and completely misleading. I guess the op was high on drugs when he made this post.

instead of all this ranting, why dont you provide information that negates what the OP posted since you understand military ranks well

ruggedtimi:
is the rank hierarchy wrong or the salary structure?

The salary is very wrong. I'm an insider.

The post is real as a friend of mine told me 3 days ago that an army guy is collecting 51k as salary. He joined army 4years ago. He is preparing for his resignation at this point in time.
He is going back to continue his handwork.
That's a total rubbish called salary

Op just posted incorrect information

u are mad, the ops is saying nothing but the truth. Do you think the Nigeria Government is paying the military well. The men especially the NCO's are so poorly paid. Talking as an insider. Even the CDS told the Govt. Except u don't follow news. Everybody knows that it's not a new thing that the military are not paid a Good salary

FAKE!
