below is a report seen as of December 2015..

Does this excludes allowance? It is quite low. Unfortunately the world is built on weird rationales the more risky and stressful your job is the less your pay seem to be.

If they tell you the gratuity of other ranks(Non commissioned officers),you guys will be shocked to the bone.
Not to talk of the money been paid to soldiers who died in active duty.#50,000. before they are paid his meager benefits.
They can't complain or protest.
Only the Airforce tries to an extent in personnel welfare and upkeep.
Nigerian military laws needs to be put under review.80% are outdated.

Re: The Nigerian Army Salary Structure: How Much Is A Nigerian Soldier Paid? by Xtracoool(m):
OP their salary may be stipends considering the authority they wield as the rank goes higher. But these people, especially the officers, make way way more than that when you include proceeds from sharp practises and corruption.

As off topic : Their men become cursed with an obsession for women the moment they take the oath of allegiance, or whatever they call it.

A private is a soldier without a rank. Then don't wear any pip (that thing on the shoulder of their uniform, where the rank is indicated)
