Contrary to belief by most Nigerians that the soldiers are being paid heavily, the majority of those who risk their lives to defend the sovereignty of their motherland go home with stipends.
The Nigerian soldiers are being paid according to their ranks and years of service.
However, not all soldiers are receiving their salaries, according to those who write this open letter to President Buhari, asking to pay them money.
To Mr President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
We are officers and soldiers of Nigerian Battalion 45 (NIBATT 45 UNAMID) deployed on January 5, 2016 on a peacekeeping mission in Sudan.
Since our deployment, life had been so difficult for us. Even to communicate with our families has been a problem due to lack of finances.
The army has refused to pay us our allowances of $100 monthly since the beginning of the mission here in Sudan and this is the seventh months without payment.
Many of our soldiers undergo surgical operation due to poor feeding, no drug for us whenever we are sick. The only remedy for us when we are sick is to be referred to Pakistan hospital due to lack of drugs in Nigerian Contingent Level 1 Hospital.
We have been in this Mission in Sudan for seven months now yet our domiciliary account in Union Bank of Nigeria has only been credited with two months and 27 days salaries out of the 7 months so far.
We ask Mr President to look into this issue to make his anti-corruption campaign in the Armed Force a success.
If nothing is done very soon, we will be force to take the law into our hands.
PAY US OUR SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES.

Uncle bubu pay them na....

I don't trust this story nor the source.

It's bad to owe the military though. Very bad.

But all i'm saying is this looks like another PDP cheap propaganda stunt.

UNCLE BUBU should resign already. running a cow farm and running a country as big and wide as NIGERIA are not the same.

Mbok pay dem ohh....

How do u want to take law into your hand?
By killing the top military officers and top government officials....
Kill them all, let's reset Nigeria to default.

Those who risk their life for Nigeria should be motivated and encouraged.
What will cost the govt to provide the basic things this gallant soldiers need.

Why are we sending peace keeping troops to Sudan, or is it South Sudan? Guy above me, the soldiers are in Sudan how do you think they can do such? Mtseewww! People too lazy to even read.

You are too lazy to talk about issues on the news

How I wish PDP can make use of these lapses by PMB intelligently to be strong and focused to restore power to them comes 2019. These were parts of what APC contemplated on to overthrow them in 2015 through their sophisticated media officer.. Advocate Lie Muhammed. Sorry! I mean Alhaji Lai Muhammed.
