The menace have to stop. I remember how the PDP controlled government made use of these political tools in the deep North and SouthEast in 2003, 2007, and especially 2011. Where states like Abia, Anambra, Imo pulled over 1million + votes for PDP.
Now we have started seeing traces of it again this time around, orchestrated by a political clown that crossover from PDP to Labour party of recent.
weldone man! Where una dey get all these proofs sef?
donaldking100: 1993: Igbos voted for M.K.O Abiola. 1999: Igbos voted for Olusegun Obasanjo. 2003: Igbos voted for Olusegun Obasanjo. 2007: Igbos voted for Yaradua. 2011: Igbos voted for Goodluck Jonathan. 2015: Igbos voted for Goodluck Jonathan. 2019: Igbos voted for Atiku. For more than 30 years, Igbos have been voting for people from other tribes. Now in 2023, they want to vote for their own Peter Obi who obviously is the best candidate amongst the rest, but y'all foolish urchins call them tribalistic. Vote Peter Obi for a better Nigeria.
PraizHim: Let the attacks and abuses on Peter Obi also be issue based
You guys will first abuse, insult and propagate lies against Peter Obi. When Obidients return fire you will start crying foul. Most of you Agbado guys dont know that: for every skeleton in Peter Obi's cupboard, Tinubu has 50 in his own cupboard. For every mistake Peter Obi makes or will make, Tinubu will have 50 of his own.
To bash/ expose Tinubu is one of the easiest thing to actually do because he has a ton of crap,crimes he has committed and other things against him.
For example: The grand Agbado Master has not and cannot stand a 20 minute live interview because of the frailty of the mind and body. It will be a national disaster.
Sleeping is not sickness or weakness, its nature it can't be cheated. Let our campaign be issue based May God spare our lives beyond 2023. Do you agree with this?
The supporters of the labour party presidential candidate in Ìbàdàn came out in mass to show their support for him as claimed by a Facebook page oriental times. See reactions from the masses.
Onyiiobi7735: At times I wonder whether it's not the Islam in Northern Nigeria, that's in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Why is that of these Northern animals, so different?
It's the same Islam but the problem with Northern Nigeria is ignorance and illiteracy, imagine trying to protect the Prophet by disobeying the laws of the Prophet. This is disheartening.
Good morning nairalanders, Amidst the mourning of disheartening or brutal murder of Late Deborah Samuel of Sheu Shagari College of Education Sokoto by some uninformed and ignorant Muslims. I came across this false but inciting image below. It's sadden my heart when I see text or image like this. Only God knows the motives of people behind this. Are these quoted verses actually correct? NO
Beremx: I attended a unity school in the north and we have a WhatsApp group chat which consists of my set. The platform turned to a mosque and the Christians retaliated and turned the platform also to a church. Both posting religious messages. Me I just kukuma exit the group because I no want wahala. The girl knowing the environment she was shouldn’t have posted the voice notes IMHO
you sound sensible and probably a northern brought up, what is bad is bad but if you carefully listened to the Twitter audio you will realized that even her room mate exclaimed/shouted Ah! NEIGHBOR that's to tell you the gravity of what she has said. I'm a Muslim! I condemn such barbaric act in totality because Islam is a peaceful, religion blame me for any atrocities I commit and not my religion.

simeonine: Are you looking for the highest-paying federal government jobs in Nigeria? Federal government jobs are highly sought after because of the job security over private-sector jobs. Additionally, federal government workers enjoy bonuses and perks such as pensions, vacations, etc. So it’s no wonder you are asking this question.
This article covers a list of the top 10 highest paying federal government jobs in Nigeria, their salaries, eligibility requirements, and how to apply. With this information, you can decide which suits your situation and start setting your priorities straight. Also to be discussed are the best paying federal agencies in Nigeria.
Let’s get started!
#1. Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) NNPC Average Monthly Salary Range First on our list of highest paying government jobs in Nigeria is the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Founded on the 1st of December 1977 after the merger between the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel and the Nigerian National Oil Corporation, the NNPC is arguably Nigeria’s best paying federal government agency.
They are Nigeria’s official petroleum industry, and they oversee the Federal Government’s oil and gas relations both within and outside the country. Since Nigeria’s economy predominantly depends on oil, petroleum plays a vital role. Hence, the oil and gas sector workers are naturally some of the highest-paid government employees in Nigeria.
The NNPC regulates the joint venture arrangements between the Federal Government of Nigeria and multinational oil companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, Agip, Schlumberger, Texaco, Total S.A, etc. Their headquarters is situated at the NNPC Towers in Abuja (FCT), and they have an international office in London.
They also have zonal offices in some of the country’s major states and cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna. NNPC workers are reported to earn the following average salaries:
Interns ₦18,000 – ₦30,000 Entry-level staff ₦180,000 – ₦350,000 Sales manager ₦300,000 – ₦450,000 Economist ₦350,000 – ₦500,000 Experienced staff/manager ₦500,000 – ₦1,000,000 Human Resources Analysts and Well Operations Superintendents earn up to ₦665K and ₦1.4m monthly, respectively.
#2. Bank of Industry (BoI) We can’t have a list of top paying federal government agencies in Nigeria without the reputable Nigerian Bank of Industry (BoI). They have a long-standing rating as one of Nigeria’s highest-paying federal government parastatals. BOI is the oldest and the largest Development Finance Institution (DFI) presently operating in Nigeria. The BOI is jointly owned by:
* The Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) Nigeria, holding over 94.80% stake * The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), holding a 5.19% stake, and * Private shareholders with 0.01% stake.
BOI is a significant agency under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment. The bank offers entrepreneurs and organisations looking to establish small, medium, and large-scale monetary aid projects. By funding industrial projects in major sectors of the economy, they encourage businesses, youth entrepreneurship, and other projects for Nigeria’s benefit.
#3. Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), established by the CBN Act of 1958 but started operating by December 1st, 1959, is another federal government agency with a high staff salary structure.
It is the apex financial regulator in Nigeria charged with the obligation to maintain its external reserves, promote a stable economic environment to the economy and serve as a financial adviser to the Federal Government.
The CBN keeps a close guard of their affairs, and their salaries are purposely shielded from the public.
However, we did some findings, and these are the average salaries the CBN pays its worker.
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Average Monthly Salary Graduate Trainees ₦43,000 – ₦50,000 Entry-level staff ₦120,000 – ₦122,000 Loan officers ₦573,000 Data Analyst ₦647,000 Branch manager ₦732,000
#4. Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) NIMASA is another one of the highest paying federal government jobs. Getting a job with the agency is not particularly easy. It was established in 2006, and they are saddled with the responsibility of regulating the Nigerian shipping industry, coastal waters, and maritime labour alongside the Nigerian Navy.
They also conduct inspections and carry out search and rescue services with the Navy. Like the CBN, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) are also quite secretive about its salary.
NIMASA Average Monthly Salary Structure Entry-level staffs ₦100,000 to ₦150,000 Grade Level 7 (step 1) ₦90,000 Grade Level 8 (step 1) Up to ₦103,988
#5. Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) A job at the FIRS is a dream for many graduates. FIRS staffs collect, supervise, and record taxes. In addition to their lucrative salary, FIRS staffs enjoy many allowances and benefits, and their job security in the agency is guaranteed.
Factors like the job position, the level or grade, and the years spent in service determine how much a permanent staff at the agency is paid.
FIRS Average Monthly Salary Structure NYSC Corps Member N23,000 – N26,000 NYSC Corps Intern N35,000 – N46,000 Accounting Clerk Intern N68,000 – N73,000 Accountant N199,000 – N211,000 Tax Officer N290,000 – N310,000 Conseiller En Développement N280,000 – N298,000 Tax Administrator N343,000 – N360,000 Inspector of Taxes N383,000 – N412,600 Human Resources Generalist N480,000 – N517,000
#6. Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Another agency that offers a high-paying federal government job in Nigeria is the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA). The NPA is in charge of maintaining the ports in Nigeria. The two major ports under the NPA’s command are the Lagos and Port Harcourt ports.
NPA Average Monthly Salary Structure Counselors ₦180,000 to ₦200,000 HSE officers ₦300,000 to ₦400,000 Deck Cadet ₦250,000 to ₦300,000 Control & instrumentation engineers ₦450,000 – ₦600,000
#7. The Nigerian Military The Nigerian Military consists of the Nigerian Army, Airforce, and Navy. Salaries in the military are paid based on ranks. Joining any branch of the Nigerian military as a commissioned officer will see you earning higher than a non-commissioned officer.
Who is a Commissioned Officer? A commissioned officer is an officer who commenced his military career by gaining admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) for special training and courses or one who after completing his higher education (University or Polytechnic) obtained, passed, and successfully completed the training and courses of the Direct Short Service Course (DSSC).
Anyone who falls into any of the categories above will be commissioned after completing his training and courses. Commissioned officers have more legal responsibilities than non-commissioned officers, therefore they hold higher ranks and are paid more.
Who is a Non-Commissioned Officer? A non-commissioned officer simply put, is a military officer who has not pursued a commission. They obtain their position of authority by promotion through the listed ranks. Non-commissioned officers are divided into Junior Non-Commissioned Officers (JNCO) and Senior (or staff) Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCO).
Many Nigerians see non-commissioned officers as those without the needed academic qualification to advance into the Commissioned ranks. But this is untrue. There are hundreds of non-commissioned officers who possess the needed academic qualification but have to settle for the lower cadre because of circumstances like unemployment, influence, etc.
Now let’s look at the estimated average salaries of each branch of the Military.
Average Monthly Salaries of the Nigerian Army
Commissioned Officers Second lieutenant 160,000 – 180,000 Lieutenant 186, 000 – 200,000 Captain 200,000 – 230,000 Major 230,000 – 300, 000 Lieutenant colonel 300,000 – 360,000 Colonel 360, 000 – 600,000 Brigadier General 650,000 – 800,000 Major General 800,000 – 1.2 Million Lieutenant General 1.2 Million – 1.7 Million naira. General 1.6 Million – 2 Million Non-Commissioned Officers Rank Average Monthly Salary (NGN) Recruit 10,000-12,000 Private 50,000 Lance Corporal 52,000-55,000 Corporal 57,000 Sergeant 56,443 – 69,260 Staff Sergeant 69,000 – 81,000 Warrant officer 82,000 – 100,000 Master Warrant Officer 90,000 – 160,000

#8. Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) is one of the country’s paramilitary agencies. It controls the importation and exportation of goods in and out of the country.
NCS pays their officers according to their ranks and qualifications. This implies that a graduate with B.Sc will earn higher than an officer with an O’level certificate.
The ranks and structure of the Nigerian Customs Service are different from that of other Nigerian military or paramilitary organizations.
#9. Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) The Nigerian digital space is a rapidly growing economy with monumental improvements. This growth has made the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) one of the highest-paying government agencies in Nigeria.
The commission was established in 1992 and it has since then coordinated the emergence and development of telecommunications industries in Nigeria. Like other government parastatals, the NCC salary is determined by qualifications and level of experience. Besides the salary packages, staff are also entitled to allowances and bonuses.
Average Monthly Salary Structure Apart from the bonuses, an entry-level staff in NCC is said to earn at least N120,000 monthly.
Depending on your skill and experience, you can earn up to N380,000 monthly.
#10. Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) is one of the downstream sector regulators in Nigeria. They supervise the sector’s gradual deregulation and liberalization.
Average Salary Structure A level 8 staff is estimated to earn between N140,000 to N190,000 monthly minus bonuses and allowances. A senior officer can earn as h9igh as N5 million
Good morning nairalanders! Life of a Man. His head is full of fire. He can't explain the pains he goes through. There are too many loads on his head. Loads of bills, numerous. Life of a Man His eyes are dim from fashions. All he thinks is how to put food on the table for his family. He's configured to endure and not to complain. Life of a Man. When he's down emotionally, words like "Be a man for once or Act like a man" strike his heart. Who will understand what a man goes through? Who will comfort and stir him up? Life of a Man. If you are a man in the house, please tell yourself WELCOME
