Mr Man 2nd lieutenant na probation rank.

This statement alone shows of your little knowledge about the military. How can you say lieutenant is a probation rank. When Major okar coup there were a couple of lieutenant who played active roles in it. Just say you don't know and people would feed you with information not disgracing your ignorance. I've learnt a lot from this thread.

This I have seen.

Mr Man, read my post again and read it well. I said 2nd lieutenant and not lieutenant.
There is a difference between one star and two stars and yes a 2nd lieutenant is a probation rank. If you passed out through NDA, you'll use six months for your probation (2nd lieutenant) before you're promoted to lieutenant. If you passed out through SSC where you've seen and known too much in the civilian world before enlisting, you'll spend 2-3 years on the rank before you get promoted. I think they've reduced it now to 1½ - 2 years.

DSSC on the other hand are not combatants/field officers.. infact RC, RRI and SSC don't consider them soldiers. They no even dey give DSSC rifle. Some of them might not even touch a rifle till they retire except for those posted to the NE like medical and engineering at least they need something to arm themselves with. Moreover they are not needed in service for a long time so they get their 2 stars straight nothing like probation.

So now you can see it's you who should "Just say you don't know and people would feed you with information not disgracing your ignorance.". Fool!!!

Na morality you dey talk here

Can warrant officer discipline lieutenant, in uniform work senior his senior

A warrant officer can never discipline a lieutenant like I've explained severally. But a wise lieutenant will always respect the warrant officer.

We have generals saluting and paying compliments to another general.

Maj gen saluting another man gen.

We have colonels saluting colonels.

Majors saluting majors.

This is were years of service comes to play.

Respect is not only by rank please. Other factors come to play. For example a DSSC Captain is far lower to an RC captain. Levels dey. The latter can command troops, the former cannot command troops and anywhere the former see am, he go pay compliments. So many differences. Even RC captain get levels pass a DSSC colonel. That's a fact.

The qustion asked was "if a warrant officer can take orders from a lieutenant in the army?". Simple Yes or No, na'em the question need.

Some of una don de blab de form ITK join, de shift from the question...giving answers weh no even correct.

Back to the question, Yes he can n will definitely take orders from a lieutenant. A lieutenant officer is his superior, by rank power s/her (the lieutenant) has power to dish out orders to the warrant officer when required to.

hmmm, na Army go fit take u with this result because of ur Maths and other related subject like govt. Navy and Airforce fit no take u. However, apply for the 3 forces. Just give them a try.

Nazgul:
Lieutenant Generals (3 star generals) are only 3. Which is the chief of army staff, chief of air staff and chief of naval staff.

Not only 3 sir, the senior brasses that heads the military legal service and the Intelligence service are 3 star generals.

Another misinformation.

There's only (1) LT gen in the Nigerian army and that's the COAS. It's more like an appointment rank.

Yea it certainly isn't easy. But you must understand that the Military is a career where you spend over 35 years as an active personnel. So you have to keep going for courses home and abroad so that you can be qualified for promotional exams. It's not a job where you can easily resign, it's a career where you spend almost your whole life in.

Are u a Soldier? I have been pondering on this for some days now. I just surmoned courage to ask u today

Lol...I'm not in the military, two of my mom's brother (uncles) were there tho, so I have a vast knowledge about them, cos I've literally lived with them in the barracks.

Wow! nice one.

Nazgul:
Who told you that? That's not true, your promotion comes based on your ability to complete the courses required to sit for promotional exams to the next rank and pass the exams. Only then would you be promoted and decorated. And once your set are due for retirement you would be retired regardless of your rank unless you're occupying an appointed position like the chief of defense or chief of army staff, and the president doesn't want you out just yet, then you wouldn't be affected by the mass retirement.

I forgot to add that after attaining the rank of a brigadier general, the next 3 ranks you'll attain after that which are Major General, lieutenant General and General would be by appointment not by merit.

Major generals (2star generals) are very few in Nigeria because they're appointed, most are GOCs and Directors. Lieutenant Generals (3 star generals) are only 3. Which is the chief of army staff, chief of air staff and chief of naval staff. Which is also by appointment and Generals (4 star generals) are only one which is the chief of defense or joint chief of staff. He controls both the army, Airforce and Navy.

If you're coming through NDA, the highest rank you're most likely to attain if you work extremely hard is a Colonel and then you'll be due for retirement (or pull out as they call it in the army) if you're extremely intelligent, a brigadier general. From major general, you'll have to belong to the political northern class cos they're ranks attained by appointment not by merit.

Insightful.

For command no be warrant officer be our RSM, wey AO dey send to go chase student

According to the OP question, a WO will duly take orders from a lieutenant...

But that doesn't give the lieutenant to misuse such authority coz the WO is not a small feat. Even in a platoon or company,soldiers might fear and respect the lieutenant in charge but they are more loyal and love their WO more. The day you maltreat a WO as a lieutenant is the day your troubles begin. Even majors fear them. Na only colonels get their power small.

A lieutenant in the army is a commission officer and a warrant officer is a senior non commission officer ( snco). In age, the warrant officer will be more advance than the lieutenant however, the lieutenant is more advanced than the warrant officer by rank and military job is not done by age but rank.
A warrant officer dare not because of any reason refused lawful order given by a lieutenant else na charge go end am. Lieutenant is even too big to give a warrant officer order. A 2nd Lt that joined the armed forces today will give a army warrant officer order ( the most senior non commission officer) and he must comply.
I must however admit that few of this senior non commission officer do have experience than freshly commissioned officer but that's not in all cases. Even when a snco gives an officer advice, such snco will not be liable because it is expected that the officer should know more and lead his men from the position of knowledge at all time.

What's the full meaning of snco

[quote author=sunnx post=133340930][/quote]Senior Non Commission Officer. It start from the ranks of Sgt to Army Warrant Officer and it equivalent in the Navy and Air Force.

Interesting thread.
Meanwhile, after consideration it’s occurred to me I made an error for not accepting an offer in DSSC chemical corp. The mistake stems from misinformation about the military and it’s activity, especially for that route. Any informed person willing to shed more light on DSSC chemical? It’s opportunities and limitations? Highly Appreciate it
