Gen Buratai Steals Personnel Allowances – Nigerian Soldiers

Editor’s note: You serve your homeland, you risk your lives but then your country just betrays and forgets you…

This is exactly what happened to Ebuka Emeka and the Nigerian army personnel who now accuse Lt.-Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai and other top army officials of the appropriation of funds meant for soldiers.

Mr Emeka has contacted Naij.com to ask for assistance in resolving the issue and reaching Mr Buratai, stressing a high probability of chaos erupting in case their demands ignored.

It is worrisome to note that Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the current chief of army staff, is hijacking our allowances.

How they exploite us

Soldiers have complained about some army generals in collaboration with Mr Buratai misappropriating their allowances for personal usage on a regular basis.

They said such attitude is weakening the morale of soldiers who are now in foreign missios in Liberia, Mali and Sudan.

The militants are aware of the situation their colleagues in Nigeria are in — the soldiers are still awaiting their payments if any to come.

The soldiers also complain that only half of allowances were given to them despite their full-time service abroad.

Sadly, the chief of army staff doesn’t bother about the welfare of the soldiers, but bothering for his pocket.

The soldiers further stated: How would they go to foreign mission and come back only to find their allowances were converted to personal use of the army leadership?


Rely only on ourselves

The soldiers are using their own money to buy uniform, drugs and other things. If the military can’t provide the bare essentials — why, then the allowances meant for soldiers are misappropriated?

There is no any significance change between the past administration and the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.

The only difference is that during Goodluck Jonathan administration the Nigerian army paid complete allowances while the current one pays half of allowances.


Never in history of foreign missions the United Nations paid Nigerian contingent uncompleted or half payment.

The soldiers also appeal to the COAS to mind the welfare and allowances of the personnel especially those in the battlefront as failure to do so would cause chaos.

Burutai is hardly ever in the news for anything positive...

One day Bubu will wake up & realise their is a line between self preservation & loyalty.... one individual vs 180+m people? Nuff said.

To even think that this Burantanshi is Buhari's COAS is laughable for a man willing to pait kwarupshion.

Nothing New Here


Everyone Serving in this Present Government is a Saint.


Saint Buratai



Saint Dambazzau

Saint Amaechi


270million Naira used in clearing Grasses

Fighting Corruption Indeed

"Buhari imprisoning the brains of his zombie followers since 1900 "

He will "SAVE" it for them.

I think this issue, should be properly investigated and those found guilty should be penalised.

Yes By Building a new Army Barracks for them in Dubai

Zombies will stay clear of this news. GEJ at least paid allowances and salary, now they use they own money to fight Boko Harem. Lord have Mercy!

I don't believe in all these long essays with facts and figures..how much exactly are you suppose to collect and how much were you given..that's how to report a case, not some form insinuation and innuendo!

I am checking out the name also with my informant in NCAN! I think the guy is hiding something from his family..he prepared the ground for no visitor when he returns to Aba for holiday!

Meanwhile the guy above me was obviously in Afghanistan when all those systems collapse in the military happened during GEJ..welcome from Guantanamo Bay, bro!

All these useless wailers that keep peddling silly lies sha. If soldiers want to lodge petition, so they will now go to a blog to help them reach their COAS Mtschew. Useless lies

What will I say self.

Am not surprise.... Na them with their Yeye broom.

Burantashi d snake shammer ole army will deny the news n d next is d officer will b drafted to frontline wit bokoharam

Anybody could write this. Just speculations and attack no facts

Finally it seems the spell APC cast on zombies has lost its potency, people are now behaving normally and asking the right questions

Like this..

There's corruption in military all over the world I must say. One needs to hear Chinese or UK military guys complain about allowances, I don't wanna talk about USA but Burutai has a second degree in corruption.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sai ahankali

I think it's high time PMB excuse Buratai as his COAS.

PMB should investigate this allegation and see if it's true. And if it is, let Buratai be excused from duty and prosecuted.

Where is omenka?

k nw

Is in fixed deposit account for them. He can't steal

I don't know how true this index case is,but it is certain that this is not a new trend in the Army & the armed forces in particular.The case of the 32 soldiers who were illegally dismissed for complaining over similar issue on return from a UN mission some years back came to mind.It was Femi Falana that pursue the lawsuit & won before respite could come the way of the affected soldiers. Endemic corruption everywhere.Buratai should know that every man inhumanity to man will one day be rewarded here or someday by the Almighty "I" above.

If this allegation is true he should be arrested without further delay.buratai does not av immunity,buratai is not above the law. He should be arrested and d law take it action.
