air force 55k + admin usually 4 yrs to get d rank
navy 55k + lodging usually 4 yrs too

Stop ranting bro. 80k is a very decent salary for army recruits in a country where the minimum wage is 18k.

I even doubt it's up to that. I'll be surprised if it is.



80k is more than decent for secondary school leaver .I am graduate work for one of the north central states for 7 years now,my total take home is 58k

This is actually correct!
Approximately less than $250,000 per annum for a Psychologist per annum including deployment and out station allowance etc.

There are many Nigerian boys and girls doing these jobs and funniest part is most don't even have their Green Card yet

Your friend is not lying... A private in the army earns around 48-50k monthly and that's the truth and nothing but the truth so don't even think about it.

so u think a soldier cannt tell a civilian to lie down in the US
I don't think any such thing. I know it. A soldier can't tell a civilian to lie down or arrest a civilian in the US or any country that functions properly that is not under some state of emergency. But since Nigeria has been a dysfunctional state for a long time I can sympathise wIth people like you who don't understand civil-military relations.

You are one bold-faced liar!

You do not know anything about US military pay scale.

US military personnel make far less than civilians doing the same jobs. But they get a lot of benefits.

A US military psychologist that went to Iraq ( remember it is by deployment) and in less than 2 years made N100m robbed a bank over there. No way in hell.

People just type whatever fulfills t heir fantasy

Yeah I feel you. So many misinformed juveniles on this thread. Many Nigerians are battered by hardship and failed dreams hence the prevelance of Cognitive illusions.

U are on target, but the private take home is 51k in each year there is increment, if u have no promotion for ten years then u will remain at that 59k.
IN THE POLICE FORCE THE TAKE HOME OF RECRUIT IS FROM 45K TO 50 AFTER TEN YEARS ON 1 RANK BUT U WILL HARDLY HAVE THAT BASE ON DEDUCTIONS SUCH AS COOPERATIVE, MANDATORY PENSION SAVINGS AND SO ON. THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN POLICE AND ARM FORCES IS JUST SMALL BASE ON ALLOWANCES.
