There is this misconception that everyone wants to go to heaven.

I don't think so.

Now I understand your problem: US Army, US Army!!!
Did you read my post?

I told you I'm not in the US Army & I've NEVER been.
I honestly don't want to be!!
Na by force again

Bring down your ego and READ MY POST!!

Give me that your Anaesthesiologist and I will put him/her in ONE theatre (don't need to travel) and paid him MINIMUM $1.8 million for putting that kind of time!!!

I don't want to call you STUPID b
ut you're pushing my mouth!

\
You remind me of a popular adage, "when fact is not on your side, make some noise".

Granted I don't think you have ever seen a million dollars in your life.

Moving on...the thread is about Nigerian soldiers and how much they earn. One villager mentioned N100m, US Army and Psychologist in one ststement. You said his bogus claim is a fact. I refuted it.

Now we are here. It has nothing to do with whether you are in the military or not. You claimed that you are in the system. But from the bogus data you put out, I called out your BS. And you have continued to tap dance around the issue. And I keep pointing you in the right direction.
1. You did your calculations based on $/hr. US military pay does not work like that. I told u before.
2. There is a chart for military salaries based on level and years of services. A General will end up with about $250k/year. A Ph.D psychologist with many years of experience will be probably a Colonel(O-.

When you debate, stick to facts and stick to the topic. As inter alia stated, a Psychologists in US Army does not make even $150k/yr vs. $250k/yr that you and kobonaire erroneously stated.

gtrust:
Thank you so much!!

Actually, someone said his relative made 100 million naira after being deployed for 3 straight years in Iraq as a psychologist.

InvertedHammer said impossible!!!

I stumbled on that & after checking, came with the conclusion that a Psychologist (not in the US Army) can make $250,000 per annum doing 7.5 hours + 1 in 7 + maximum 6 weeks holidays per annum.

Na so this InvertedHammer start to de abuse me oh! Just like that.
I asked the young man to apologize he escalated the abuse.

Anyway, no wahala.
I have made my contribution and any serious Psychologist Ofcourse will look at it and work on my post.

As per InvertedHammer, no comment.

It is OK. I finally realized that common sense is not common after all.
Roll with me let me educate you.
My colleague is an anaesthesiologist. He has three jobs. Two of the jobs as a physician and the other as a guest speaker/lecturer that takes him around the globe.
He makes $260k (1st job under Fed. employment under the military), around $200k from his second job and around $140k from the lectures. So annually as a physician, he makes $600k.

He makes $600k/yr. But that does not negate the fact that he makes around $260k under the military with about 15 years experience as a full-time staff. The bone of contention is not his gross income but the income from military. And by the way, that is as a physician.

Psychologists (Ph.D) under US military employment make "around" $120k/yr. I am yet to see any of them gross $150k/yr from US military (deployment or not).

Perhaps you are not aware that US military salary is by level and years in service and not based on $/hr. You are just too full of yourself to admit that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Quote me any day.

kobonaire:
bros, don't waste your time arguing with that foôl. In another thread he was making a medical claim .... "that people should drink plenty water before going to sleep to avoid sudden death in sleep".
The guy must have taken a hammer to his head beating at some point of his life hence his name and the nonsense he spews.
Meanwhile your claim the US Army Psych physicians make $250K is plausible as a high limit. I did a search and sure enough your claim appears valid to a degree:- http://everydaylife.globalpost.com/much-doctors-military-make-14129.html
US Army physicians can earn $20K per month not even factoring other allowances.

Explaining this to that hammer guy is a waste of time ... leave the block-head to drink his 2 gallons of pure water every night before he sleeps

/
I give up!!!

When you fail to realize the difference between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist, what else can I say?

Psychologists are not physicians.

Ignorance is bliss

gtrust:
I was expecting a "thanks" or more appropriately "thank you".

\
I am sure you are matured enough to understand a back-handed compliment.

Sarcasm, that is.

My opinion about you stands as stated

\

kobonaire:
so what's the meaning (and medical significance) of "drink a lot of water before you go to sleep"??
Explan that asśclown, or did you pull that "medical fact" from your rear end?.... You beat around the bush too much. Just explain what you wrote and what connection it has to this individual's unfortunate death. Your fückatrdism is what is clearly excessive

\
Sorry.

It is not my duty to educate a fool.

Perhaps, there are some information online about it.

Search it out yourself. I am not going to spoon-feed you

/

kobonaire:
Stick to what you originally posted ... You clearly said drink "a lot water before going to sleep". Now explain why excess water is beneficial to the human body during sleep and also the conclusions you are making to the OP's original post?? It's obvious who the clueless àssclown is here

\
If you see the word "excess " in my original post, then you are right.

Otherwise, check yourself because your problem is more complicated than you would like to acknowledge

gtrust:
I have no reply for most of what you posted.
I have already stated very clearly that I am not and have never been in the US Army!

My interest is on "expo" I used:
No, I do not do anything illegal and I do not encourage illegality.

Read my post:
1- Psychologist
2- 7.5 hours/day
3- 6 weeks holidays per annum
4- 1 in 7
5- $250,000 per annum

That is my "expo" to you and everybody who wants to know.
These jobs do exist!

I'm NOT competing with you and I don't want to compete with you.

Like you must have noticed, we have already taken very different paths in life!

Please, stop calling people liars when you have NOT done the research and when you're proved wrong,
you move another gear of "show off", "brag" etc.
Not necessary, just state your point.

i hope you did not nack yourself with hammer before posting this?? ....
Since when has drinking plenty water before sleeping been a medical recommendation??

You obviously do not know the importance of water in your body.

I am only pointing you in the right direction.

If you were to be intelligent and curious, you would have asked for more clarifications.

Even if I shove the information down your throat, you still will not get it.

Those in the know and the smart ones already took note.

Take it or leave it.

gtrust:
Like I said, I'm not in the US Army and I'm not a Psychologist!
I did not post the 100 million Naira in 3 years stuff.

Medical and para-medical professionals do not "chop" from Basic pay you're putting out there.
If you rely on Basic pay then it's the wrong job!

However, I'm in "the Business" and I have Psychologists working with me.
A Psychologist working 1 in 7 with 6 weeks holidays will make $250,000 per Annum no wahala.

Now, my calculations:
3 straight years deployment in Iraq should equal more than 1 in 7 plus regular 7.5 hours by 3 years.

Therefore my conclusion that 100 million in 3 years is POSSIBILITY!

Now, if you're a Psychologist and you're not making $250,000 PER Annum then there is wahala!
Maybe you are not counting your money right: Please bring it let me help you count it very well for you.
Maybe you're in the wrong job: don't get "mad" at this statement because we also were in the "wrong jobs" at some
stage in "white-mans' land" and got the "expo" and quickly ran.

I took it very badly when you call me "liar' as I really have nothing to gain telling lies!

Many many years ago, someone I didn't know, never seen before, gave me the "expo" I'm using to chop now and I was just giving back.

Besides, thanks to President GEJ and current Minister for Health, things have really changed in Nigeria for Medical and para-medical professionals but I really don't know about Psychologist in Nigeria.

\
[b]You can pontificate all you want.

YOU ARE A BOLD-FACED LIAR!

No Psychologist in the US Army employment is making anything remotely close to what you stated.

Stick to the topic: PSYCHOLOGISTS in US Army.

If you like make a gazillion dollars in a year..not my problem. You CANNOT make that amount legally anywhere in USA
other than Wall Street (of course with diverse responsibilities geared towards the market) as a psychologist unless as
you stated that there is some "expo" (aka illegality) involved.

But the fact is the fact. Based on what you said, you have no iota of idea about US Military.

So stop this BS already!

I will not want to spoil your fantasy.

I am not here to compete with you about who makes more...that will be a childish thing to do especially with a stranger.

Are you wealthier than Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett? If not, then take a back seat because poverty dey worry you.

Folks with money don't walk around "bragging"...Empty vessels make the most noise, u know.

Make sure you drink a lot of water before going to sleep every night.

You may wake up to take a leak in the middle of the night...

You are right. Imagine a country like Nigeria with bad unrated roads filled with potholes. God have mercy. It's scary enough riding in a western country talk less of Nigeria . One thing about power bike is that once you climb on top, it gets your adrenaline pumping. I had my fun with it and it's not for me anymore . Goodluck to the riders.

If okada riders can meander through the roads, so can super bikers.

Worse comes to worst, you go hang leg for Orthopedic hospital. By the way, that is what I have against riding those crotch-rockets.

There is no wisdom in not protecting oneself against the possibility of harm in the future.. Taking precaution in life has never been a bad thing. In America and some other European countries today, it's called a pre-nuptial agreement..

You can call it Marriage PPE..

\

Stop all the grammar and call it what it is...Marriage Insurance

I think a lot of married folks are not happy. Don't let those happy family portraits fool you.

When they see you single and happy, they cajole you into marriage under the guise of "being responsible"

And once you are locked in..."Gotcha!!!" After all, misery needs company...so they say.

Back in the days, we used to use the Post Office to send mails, rotary phones to make calls,
panties catalog for p.orn, marriage to solidify relationships.

Fast forward to the 21st century, we use emails and text messages, cellphones, www (fill in the gap).com for p.orn.
So stay away from marriages. There is nothing in it for a man especially if you live in the West.

What is the essence of will and testament. even without court wedding or traditional wedding, once the testator (A man who writes a will ) dies intestate, the wife is still entitled to his property too

/
What I don't get is this obsession that a man is going to die an untimely death. What? The wife cannot die first?

First rule of thumb: Don't marry a very beautiful wife. Your brothers and friends may start praying for or facilitating your early checkout to yonder so that they can do the needful.

gtrust:
Just to put the records straight:
1- I'm not a Psychologist ( I said higher than)
2- I'm not in the US Army
3- since you claim to know, how much is deployment allowance Deployment allowance for 3 consecutive years
4- this is not about you and me!

This is about knowledge and opportunities available out there and genuine.

Finally, I don't work for or on behave of the US and I'm not a recruiter or an agent and I don't know an agent.

US Recruitment is very straightforward and direct with no intermediaries for those interested.

I'm sorry I made a contribution.

/
We are exchanging information. Sorry for my harsh tone.
Of course, there is a lot of opportunities in the US military but mostly in benefits such as VA mortgages, tuition payments or reimbursement (you have to work for the military for a specified number of years after graduation), etc.

Salary is never the primary motivation for joining the US military. I got involved in this exchange when you started throwing out fictitious numbers as facts. As a matter of fact, I called some colleagues to see if there is a raise that we are not aware of. Of course, there were raises earlier this year but nothing remotely close to the numbers you are quoting. Deployment benefits are in the hundreds of dollars and when added together is less than $2k/month. So the $250k/yr for a Psychologist in the US military is an IMPOSSIBILITY. And for N100m equivalent in less than 3 years as stated by some dude is ridiculous as well comical.

NB: Some folks on NL are not teenagers or High School students. So when you put out information, expect some rebuttals.

[size=13pt]Obviously you and the 30 people who liked your comments didn't read. Reread and stimulate your mind a little......

Anyway men are scared of the fact that some women will divorce nd take half of their life investment (that they didn't work for)...... so my advice to men whose wives want a court wedding is to sign a prenuptial, don't let some un serious relationship ruin your life.....[/size]

/
It depends on the level of the parties involved eg. Ojukwu family, Abiola family, etc. With all the roforofo wey dey these
wealthy families, who dey enjoy all the money now? Lawyers and trustees who stand to make more money if the case drags on forever.

But for an average Nigerian family, the fight for right will definitely involve kindred, court, thugs, babalawo. It is like fighting for a land
in the village, at the end all parties die and the land remains. And enablers will be left to enjoy the fruit of other people's labour.

As a married woman in Nigeria, there is no reason why you should not establish yourself in your husband's house financially and otherwise.
Every title of property you own should include the name of your children. Court wedding or church wedding, the most important thing is
to make sure a bride price was paid.

If your husband dies before you (afterall who knows who will die first), do the burial ceremony and go back to where you reside and continue your business. It can't be any simpler than that.

But, if you choose to be a housewife, you will not only have his kinsmen to deal with, but business partners and employees who will see
his demise as an opportunity to better their lot. That is, make you dey put eyes for your oga business. Shikena!

NB: Anything you cannot get from your spouse when alive can never be got when he/she is dead.

MadCow1:
I knew one of you Niggas would take that bait..


Now let me test your knowledge of Nigerian Laws with regards to the marriage act. ..

Question : Do you my friend know what term 'maintenance' means as regards the marriage act of Nigeria?

If you do (or if you Google it and find out) then what's your point about enforcement? If the courts awards maintenance to a spouse and the other party refuses to comply, that party would be in direct breach of court orders and would be sent to jail..


I no be lawyer o! But it's still a surprise that I am not..

Thanks for reading more of my legal mumbo jumbo.

/

I think "breach of court orders" should be erased from all legal books in Nigeria.

It has become a culture/custom/norm to breach court orders.

And about going to jail for nonpayment of alimony in Nigeria... Good luck with that.

\

Sixix:
What is Alimony and Child Support?

Alimony is a divorce settlement where the man pays his wife the bulk of his monthly salary because the law asked him too

Gives women the power to mentally, financially and emotionally frustrate their husbands and ex-husbands throughout the rest of their lives

To make them incapable of having another 'normal' family

Makes it a crime to be a 'man'

Allows ex-wives to sit their fat lazy asses at home all day because they were mainly dependant on their husbands' income while they were married and are now incapable of getting jobs

Provides ex-husbands and husbands a perfect motive to murder their wives.



And yet it has not stop any man from engaging in activities that are grounds for divorce


In today's world, a divorce settlement is concerned with the protection of women not the man because he is a man

/

Try enforcing alimony and child support in Nigeria

My problem with MadCow1 is that he is prescribing antidepressant medications for malaria.

The question is about marriage in Nigeria and he/she is reciting some legal mumbo jumbo he read somewhere.
.

\

MadCow1:
True..

But even then, such relationship if not customary is considered to be common law marriage and can be decided in court like a full court marriage. What I am not sure the spouses can get is "maintenance" from each other, but the court can award custody to one parent and child upkeep from the other as the case may be as that child's or children's interest must always be protected under the law irrespective of the circumstances of their birth.

Where is your Law office?

Oyibo = 1 white wedding. Case closed.

Nigeria = 1 white wedding + 1 Traditional wedding + 1 court wedding, not excluding introduction, bride price, 3 page list of items, etc.

Where do you expect people to get money for all these stuff?

And they wonder why people are frustrated in marriage.

Men start having feeling of entitlement after all the expenditures. Don't blame them.

Sorry! I forgot the leeches/liabilities (in-laws) that come thereafter.

This is why a lot of men are scared of getting married. Worst of all, there are no guarantees.

Wahala dey o!

\

Sweetlemon:
Lol!

Those Italians will not be recognized without an official document even in Nigerian courts not talk of their own country.

You missed the emphasis on the legal document and not necessarily the ceremony.

\

In other words, you are going into marriage with divorce on your mind?

Better pray for someone who loves you to marry you bc if your husband believes that the document
you signed with him is the problem, he may device alternatives.

Wait a minute, I think oyibo people call it "unsolved mystery".

Better marry for love o!

I got a call about a marriage rite that will take place next week. Looking at the whole picture, it is heading for
the rocks...a lot of unanswered questions...obvious warning signals flashing but neglected

To insist on court wedding, better hook someone before you turn 30.

Don't curse me out. Blame the society especially Nigeria.

I am not just refuting your claims...

I am calling out your BS.

A top psychologist will be probably an O-6. With 38+ years experience, makes $10,844/month = $130,128/year max. I refuse
to believe that as a Nigerian in the US Army that you have 38+ years experience (that is you joined in 1976).
I am talking about top of the top.

Let me go out of the limb here and speculate. The most you are is O-3 (Captain! And that's me being generous because
there are only few Nigerians with that rank in the US Army). So your monthly income is $6305/month = $75,660/year.

By the way, deployment benefits are not that much.

So....tell me! Where in the world do you get your numbers from? LIAR!

Read my post again:
When you're deployed as a Psychologist in US Military for 3 straight years in Iraq yes you can get approximately $250,000 per annum all inclusive!!!
Almost $750,000 = almost 100 million Naira.

There are many Nigerian boys and girls touching this money as we speak (write).

Yes. I read your post. I actually showed it to the "boys" and they laughed at your ignorance. We live the lives and not hearsay.

Without going into details, I quoted facts and numbers. Not that it matters, but it is good for people to have the correct information. That's all.

This is actually correct!
Approximately less than $250,000 per annum for a Psychologist per annum including deployment and out station allowance etc.

There are many Nigerian boys and girls doing these jobs and funniest part is most don't even have their Green Card yet

A General in the US army does not earn N250k/year. And you are talking about a psychologist [Ph.D] ( by the way top ones are Colonels). Stop spreading all these BS! I have access to what these guys make in a year and nothing close to these numbers you are throwing around. The people who make more are private security guards for security firms like Blackwater. But those guys are Special ops and ex-Marines. A US military psychologist that sees $150k/year (very very rare) must have been a psychologist for at least 20 years. Go figure.

Under the military:

Gen. Surgery about $350k/yr
Anaesthesiologists: $250k/yr
Other physicians: $200k/yr
Nurse anaesthetists: $160k/yr
Pharmacists: $130k/yr
Psychologists: $110k/yr
Nurses: $100k/yr.

All are with at least 10 yrs work experience.
