The reading public can be better educated on the organogram of the Nigerian Armed Forces
Re: Rank Structure Of Nigerian Military (Army, Navy And Air Force) by Racoon(op):
I guess no Nigerian military officer have attained the field marshal rank. General Sanni Abacha is the military man ever reputed to have attained the rank of a general without skipping a rank in Nigeria.

Aside Idi Amin, has any other African Army officer ever attained that?

I learnt that even the Idi-Amin own was Self-Awarded


As the the second line. Abacha too try. Man was still able to rise to that rank at that age

I wish he actually lived longer to end climb the ladder up to the Apex point

What's the importance of the ranks if they cannot win the war against insurgency and banditry in their country.

Military is very sweet, but using it to intimidate civilians is all what I hated most especially from most Nigeria military personnel and many other African military personnel too are also guilty of these

Memorise it very well so that when they block you on the road and ask " do you know who I am " then you tell them who they are.

Maybe it is even an ordinary private that will be threatening you sef

C in c is different from field marshal. It is possible that the president could promote an officer to that rank but that would most likely occur during a serious war between Nigeria and several other countries

Ur a fool saying this.
Check the history of Nigeria army via commissioned staff before the civil War. For ur information we are not afraid only that no honor or prestige attached to the Nigerian present army.
Take note of it and stop fooling ur shameless self.

Any rank above Colonel in the NA is politicized, deviod of competence and merit.
