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

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.

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

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
