It's not too bad in a country where over 70% are unemployed and considering that accommodation and transportation are free for them.

I won't do it though especially now that there's no more chance of becoming a president through that route.

This can't be true

The pay is so small

It seems only the politicians and oil workers are enjoying this Nigeria

politicians and religious leaders.

So this is what those new recruits that were constituting Nuisance on the Third mainland bridge last tuesday earns??

Those ones never even enter payroll proper. They're cadets. Na pocket money dem dey collect

Ceenelly:
my brother naija mentality, they see all army, police etc has o level holders, they don't know they are more graduate there than many other federal agencies.

omlueh:
Please I want to know if this is their NET Pay or GROSS Pay. Abeg

Gross pay. It's even less than that in some instances.

oksmart:
So you think most of these modern soldiers are not educated??. This is 2020 not 1980, most of the guys getting enlisted into the Army now are mostly graduates. One girl came to my house the other day and told me this rubbish when I showed her a glimpse of my credentials she was shocked.

Thats good, as you can see commisioned officers earn far more better salaries than the non-commisioned officers.

Please post that of Navy, I want to check something

Meanwhile teacher on level 8 is receiving a meager 45k as monthly salary

Lucid1:
I don't understand most of these comments, how's that pay too small? They're also entitled to accommodation and medicals (+dependants)

We are just exposing ourselves to unnecessary risk in this country. You trained some people to secure you and give them arms then you are paying them peanuts and you believe you are safe.

Infact, is it not very easy for bokoharam strategist to engage the services of this people ? I believe Buhari should be seriously bothered if this is true. At least now that we have this bokoharam challenge.

Mile18:
not as Rossy as I thought.

Don't be deceived,it is more rosy than you think
How much is Buhari salary if you know you know

comshots:
Do you mean a private soldier earn more than a lecturer in the university?

Graduate Assistant = sub lieutenant. Yes! They earn more

If you are planning to join the Nigerian Army and you will like to know how much they earn, it is important you read and share this post with friends and family.

When you take a look at the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigerian Army is the largest component. They help to defend, protect, and honor Nigeria.

Joining the Nigerian Army is not as easy as you think and is like not the ordinary job out there because while everybody is sleeping and enjoying themselves, an average Nigerian Soldier is out there in the Sambisa Forest fighting Boko Haram.

With this Kind of job one expects that an average soldier to be earning big but the case is not like that.

So with the danger and lot of inconveniences associated with the job, how much do you think an average Nigerian soldier earns?

My brother, if you're not kind to your mai guard, he will be the one to invite robbers to you house. Little wonder there are sabotages even in the ongoing op Lafiya Dole in the NE. I remember Col. Abu of 272 Task Force Tank Battalion vividly.
I want to believe that's their basic salary scale. I stand to be corrected though.
One thing I know is, most lobby for overseas operations like peace keeping and training missions. And that's the way they break even. If they choose not to compromise.

"if you're not kind to your mai guard, he will be the one to invite robbers to you house. Little wonder there are sabotages even in the ongoing op Lafiya Dole in the NE"

Say no more!

Ask around, ask about other countries security agents, the primary motivation should be patriotism not money. The added incentives should complement the pay, which by Nigeria's standards isn't too bad.

The incentives are medical cover for family and dependants, affordable housing, job security, low tuition for dependants and self development etc. I'm thinking out of the box here

So the one with the rank of General is their Dangote

So how did liar liar Buratai save from his old salary through the ranks to buy many mega million dollar villas in Dubai?
Barawo bubu and his 40 thieves cabal are bloody looters like Abacha their thieving hero.

General Buratai Bought Second Dubai Property Days After Appointment As Chief Of Army Staff

General Tukur Yusuf Buratai bought a second choice property in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, days after his appointment as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS), an investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed.

Buratai: The Dubai Landlord And His Magic Of 'Personal Savings' By Emmanuel Uchenna Ugwu

Buratai’s narrative is a reconstruction of the reality of a theft meant to extricate the thief from his anti-social deed.

Thanks to a recent revelation that exposed the two mansions he procured in Dubai while serving as the Director of Procurement at the Defense Headquarters, the character of Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the present Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, has become fuller and rounder.

Before now, Buratai was a single story persona. He was definitively profiled as the civilian-hating author of the massacre and mass burial of 347 Shiites in Zaria. Now he has revealed that he is more than a waster of blood: He is also an extraordinary saver of treasure!

By way of defense, Buratai chalked up his ownership of 120 million naira houses in Dubai to his capacity for thrift. He said he grew his widow’s mite. He saved and saved and saved his salaries…until he had enough foreign exchange to make himself a double landlord in the United Arab Emirates!

Taken at face value, this is an inspiring tale. It’s a powerful object lesson in parsimony. It teaches that all things are possible to an everyday person if he can define a goal for himself, tame his appetite, and practices the discipline of delayed gratification.

Except that the tale is intrinsically false. It is not a testimony of prudence - by any stretch of the imagination.

Buratai’s narrative is a reconstruction of the reality of a theft meant to extricate the thief from his anti-social deed. His widow's mite saving is a patent lie. It is an incredible truth told by a desperate robber who is less eager to expiate his crime than he is to justify his possession of the stolen goods.

Buratai told an incongruous legend. The cost of his two Dubai mansions is not a sum of the savings of the unspent fraction of his soldier's salary. He couldn’t have possibly bought the houses that are significantly above his earning with his wages. He procured the house some other way he is not proud to divulge.

Buratai bought Dubai properties with personal savings — Army

The Nigerian Army has denied media reports that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and his two wives acquired a property in Dubai and paid for it in a single transaction.

The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, said in a statement on Saturday that while it was true that the Buratai family had two properties in Dubai, they were bought with personal savings in 2013.

I am not impressed with the salary neither am I sympathetic to the plight of the soldiers. Rather, I am sympathetic to the cause and plights of numerous unemployed people in Nigeria who are struggling to survive. Recurrent expenditure is already killing us.

Nobody on this thread and on the threads of minimum wage agitators discussed the suffering of the unemployed masses. Those who work for government are sure of their salary no matter how little it is, it is stable and pensionable. There is also corruption avenue for those who are lucky and those who are smart.

You are talking about small salary, minimum wage and pensions, what about the survival of Nigerians that are jobless and casual workers in factories?

If government use all her resources on recurrent expenditure and use part of the loans taken for capital expenditure to finance wages, how would an enabling environment for private sector be created.

Now the most comfortable and stable people in Nigeria are civil servants. Stable job and stable salary.

And those lazy pot belly and flowing babariga in national Assembly and house of assembly earn more for rubbing us all.

please always endeavor to research very well before posting anything on this forum. I am a soldier. Those figures, though close but are incorrect. From private to Sgt are correct but from staff Sgt to MWO are incorrect. Then from 2lieutnant to general are correct. Though all the figures posted are old salaries. The new minimum wage is yet to take effect

GOFRONT:
So this is what those new recruits that were constituting Nuisance on the Third mainland bridge last tuesday earns??

Not quite. Those guys were NDA cadets, and would just be receiving monthly allowances from the Defense headquarters. However, they spend just 5 years in the NDA, and on graduation, they become sub-lieutenants.

Nigeria is the worst country to be a soldier.
infact inside that useless salary,they are still expected to buy their uniform and other kits.
i regrate ever ever ever .... ....
BUHARI realy disappointed the nigerian soldiers. when he was comming ,the soldiers thought as a retired general he will look unto the welfare of the men but this is 5yrs nothing is added to the salaries.
Non of my children will ever wear that useless uniform.GODFORBID
