Millitary system from civil service system applying with doesn't give you a higher rank over a degree holder.As a short service recruit who didn't go through NDA foundation there's a particular rank you can't exceed.
Its not true as long as you have age on your side and you pass your courses you can attain any heights

NDA graduates move up the ladder than university graduates in the army. If you like be a university professor, an NDA holder holds an edge

OP you just wan run without thinking of how to crawl.
If you join the NA with your Msc, you ll be commissioned as a 2nd Lt. However, you may be drafted to a nice place if your course of study is what the NA wants like Medical/Engineering.

The highest rank you can attain is a Major because age is one major factor that ll affect you. Also, because you joined as a short service you ll need to convert to regular in which case it is not that easy at all but if your course is what the NA wants like Medicine, then there is hope for you to attain the rank of a general.

As a short service commissioned officer you have limitation of promotion but as a regular (those guys from NDA) your promotion is limitless (but not upto the rank of a field marshal)

No one can attain a field Marshal in the NA, "I know that is your plan grin.
I think I have helped in my little way this morng grin

Even if you are a Prof u will never be a Lt col at point of entry. It will take you almost 20yrs in service to reach that rank. So with your masters you are treated the same with a Bsc holder.
20yrs hmm e no easy

How many miles can you run in 10 minutes, how good is ur eye sights, can u endure stress under breaking conditions without bulging, can you face danger and think clearly taking clear and tactical decisions?

From your questions, it appears your two major motivations are money and power----not service and putting your life on the line for your nation.

I will advise you to consider other career paths. With your M.sc, you can only get 2 Lt and you "must" lead a team to war front when the need arises. In fact, your subsequent promotions will be based majorly on your performance on the field.

Depends on the exigencies of the service even a professor may end up as a private if the army so requires or if his job role deems it necessary case in point WW-2
Re: Does Applying With A Master In The Nigeria Army Give One A Better Rank by Meritocracy: 8:43am On Jan 10, 2018
You're asking for rapid promotion before you even apply for the job. With your master are you sure you will be a better soldier than secondary school certificate holder the way you're harvesting before planting. This is how we fail in Nigeria you will see many professors in which only their aim is to be called and recognize as a professor for personal gain with nothing to contribute to even academic let alone Nigeria.

Very funny.
Do you know the meaning of Lt. Colonel??
Below is the ranking structure for degree holders/NDA graduates (NDA guys mostly start from Lt.)

Field Marshall
General
Lt. General
Maj. General
Bridg. General
Colonel
Lt. Colonel
Major
Captain
Lt.
2nd Lt.

The highest you can get with your masters degree is full Lt.

isnt promotion every four yrs? Again, isn't every army a gun carrier or battle prone? I have always thought as long as you wear the colour, you are eligible for going to war, if need arises.
Re: Does Applying With A Master In The Nigeria Army Give One A Better Rank by crispus09(m): 10:07am On Jan 10, 2018
First you have to knw d system you want to enter,military structure is diff my guy,even if you re prof you will nt b place beyond your starting rank depend on d commission you enter,nigeria army have RC,SSC,DSSC and EC
RC are NDA millitary student,im sure you knw NDA right? NDA graduate can become generals in army and as well get appointment(polical) like COAS,COAS(NAF) CODS etc
SSC is a combatant comission,they can become a general too but it takes man no man to get appointmeny(virtualy impossible)
DSSC is a direct short service and you can not exeed rank of conol in army except you convert to RC before you reach d rank
EC is an executive commission reserv for only serving NCO millitary member just for compensation of hard work,outstanding characters during your service as nco,and you can b giving like lt,cpt,or mjr straight before you retire
Note that starting rank for RC, SSC is 2nd lt while DSSC is lt irrespective of your qualification,so no special treatment for Msc.
RC,SSC promotion is 4yrs while dat of DSSC is every 5yrs thats if you pass there courses,
All soldiers knows how and trained to carry gun when need arise but only RC,SSC re combatant.DSSC are office officers
Nigeria army ranking
Senior officers commission
*field marshal
*full general
*Lt general
*major general
*Bri general
*Col
*Lt Col
*Major
*cpt
*Lt
*2nd Lt

For NCO's

I suggest you dress up in army uniform and go to army headquarters to take over COAS office because you have Masters. Because you are not concerned about the requirements all you want to be is a senior officer overnight. In case you don't know, there are recruits with Masters.
