For those saying the 80k is small should put in mind that joining the military is not for monetary reward but service...do your research nigerian military workers are well paid compared to other nations...

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

did u think that most of our recruits today are SSCE holders? well u are making a mistake, most of them are OND, HND, and BSC holders. I know some of them. starting the work as a recruit for some people is becos they ve tried but have no one to help the to enter through cadre level. besides, even a hundred thousand is not enough compare to billions of dollars that got missing every day. why is it DAT book haram are even being paid more than our servicemen?

texazzpete:



Hahahaha!

So the person earning 80k per month will not marry, will not pay school fees, will not indulge in any luxury at all to be saving 30k per month?

Some of you have lost touch with reality.


Only foolish people think that the duty of their employee is to enrich them

Guy

You minimize spending on luxury today in order to enjoy greater luxury tomorrow

If you give birth to babies like rats and live lavishly , poverty will visit you.


The soldier wife won't she also work.

Imagine her earning 50k with government free house, school, medical etc. You are telling me both of them can't sacrifice today in order to enjoy greater luxury tomorrow.

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.


Its people like you that miss all opportunities to escape poverty.


They are people who started poor and ended rich

Life is all about management sacrifice focus determination perseverance etc when it comes to financial matters.

Bros I like this ur analogy...can u imagine some folks who earn 350-400k per month,with little or no responsibilities cannot boast of their own houses...they still live in rented apartments...#i think moderation should be the watch word here


God bless you


Imagine someone earning 200k as his first salary and 500k as his last salary after 25years of work, can't boast of a small factory.

Some people need financial deliverance

If they are really paid 80k then that's f-ing small, like wtf?

Someone goes through the most painful/rigorous process to become a soldier, risks his life on a daily basis and at the end of 31 days, you give him a paltry sum of 80k? Then again, seems like all the Nigerian soldier does is oppress the poor masses, I don't feel sorry for them.


Being a soldier has never been about money, even if u are paid 500k a month, its not worth ur life, u can fall by the bullet any second. But that does not mean there needs to be more improvement in their salary.

I laugh wen i saw ur post. well believe me its a big poo...

private basic salary is 49k. dats in the army ....
Air force ACM (equivalent to a private 49k+15k (admin support )
Ordinary seaman in d navy 49k+ 17k lodging allowance ... most of naval guys stay off barracks. but consider house rent n transport for a naval chap in Lagos wit 17k. hmmmmm

Lcpl 55k army ..,. sum times it might take 8 to 10 years to get d rank
air force 55k + admin usually 4 yrs to get d rank
navy 55k + lodging usually 4 yrs too

cpl 58k - 60k army

and so on like that ...

and MWO. how many MWO can u see in a random army barracks? unlike air force n navy. hw many AWO do nig army get total.

after serving 35 important yrs, hw much do dey get a retirement benefit. maybe 3.5mill . does it worth dying for? cos for instance u join at 22. + 35 = 57. wat use can u be to your self. already old right. most ppl have to adjust their age to join d military. cos can a 22 yrs old boi stand d pressure of battle or fire power.


its and for those saying they make money on d road .... do all soldier stand on d highway? hw abt dat


men it sucks being a nig soldier .... cos i was.
