U guys dnt knw nfn abt Army salary,,,a private soja's salary is 49k

BlackTechnology:


80k is good enough for a recruit who is not a graduate.

If he invests a part of those salaries every month for 10yrs, he would be able to establish a good business for himself that can take care of him after retirement.


Remember

It is not how much you earn that matters but how much you are able to set aside to invest for businesses

So when picking a job, you look at how much you can set aside to invest for businesses

For me a SSCE holder earning 80k can invest 30k every month which will amount to over 3.6million in 10yrs sufficient enough to start up a good part time business during his remaining military years.


For a graduate earning 180k, if he invests at least 80k every month, it will amount to 9.6million after 10 yrs. Sufficient enough to start up a good part time business during his remaining military years.

But first we must verify their real incomes

You should not compare a soldier to a banker,a banker is way above a soldier.But a soldier can also tell a banker to lie flat if he misbehaves.

c ur head like 'free accommodation' shey civil servants nor dey get free accommodation ....

cannonnier:


Free what. Inside that 80, they will remove house rent, 2k pension, and other nonsense. You will be left with sub-total 50k and a little+.

broda,the salary of a lance corporal in the united states is higher than that of a master warrant officer in the NIG army.If u want too join the military for money then you have too look somewhere else.

Poverty has finished you mennnn! I can't imagine your standard of living...When your entirety of your earnings are exhausted on food and shelter, your labour are no longer viewed as an opportunity for economic advancement, but rather as an act of self-preservation. In the real world that's called slavery. 80k is nothing, bro! I know some gate men collecting over that. The basic salary of a fresh Nigeria military recruits should be over 400k and above...As for a fresh Nigeria graduate, 500k and above. Their should some changes in our labour laws...It should be strongly scrutinised by the Nigeria civil society. It's so sad to say, Nigerians are really suffering.

Pain:
The salary of a private in the Nigeria n Army and other services ranges between 40 - 56k monthly depending on your years in svc. Let's get our facts right.

The plain truth of this job (aiki) is that it is less burdensome on your mental fiber if you are in it for the passion and patriotism.

Don't bother joining if you are in it for the money. Word of advice...

Peace out as we recite the honorable soldiers creed : My honour is my fate. I vow my .... Oya let's go!
