Career › Re: Can A Warrant Officer Take Orders From A Lieutenant In The Army by UrennaNkoli(f): 3:16pm On Dec 08, 2024

No mind them

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.

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.

Sheuns:
The main problem aren’t the dogs themselves but the irresponsible owners that don’t know how to train dogs but will keep them.

Some are so irresponsible to the extent that they laugh when their dogs chase or bark at people. All they will say is “It won’t bite you” “Don’t run”. They don’t even understand dog’s body language.

Restrain your dogs if they start barking at people.
If dogs don't bark at people, of what use is keeping them in the house then.?

I didn't want to join in this conversation but it's really funny to see some unemployed dudes here rubbish the fact that people in private sector are doing great.
However, contrary to what Madam said, this thread was created mostly for public servants who could give factual figures of salaries within their organisation, and so this will help those seeking for an upgrade and the unemployed as well.
Having said that, my very young cousin who just finished NYSC is with UBA now earning over 250k monthly. Just like you, I have many colleagues who regret leaving the private sector especially if you are a professional. Only lazy, myopic civil servants or people who have never worked anywhere will think all jobs in civil service are better than all jobs in private sector.
One dude even said oil companies start with 250k. Lol.
That was like 15 years ago dude.
When I was in JSS3 far back in 2001, my brother in law who was a trainee geologist with the defunct National Oil (Kaduna Refinery) was earning 120k/monthly. I can never forget this in my life. This was a time that senior civil servants were taking home 25-30k as monthly salary. In 2011 while I was serving, my uncle was earning 800k monthly in Zenith bank although as an Assistant Marketing Manager then.

There's a reason why the likes of NCC, NNPC, NMDPRA, NUPRC, NIA, NDIC etc pay huge allowances. It's because it's the "industry" standard. You don't pay that much, then you watch your staff being compromised by the organisations they are meant to regulate or even move to these organisations to help them with regulatory compliance.
A senior friend of mine left EFCC for MTN. He's a regional security xxxxxxx with MTN today, earning X10 of what EFCC was paying him. Funny thing was that he never even applied, an MTN staff spotted him when he gave an address at a function that EFCC was part of. Na so they begin chase my guy.

How much do you think safety officers, chemical engineers and others will earn at Dangote Refinery at entry level?

Like Madam said, a lot of these guys are jobless and will stand on their ignorance than admit they know nothing. That one even said "Google my name". grin

Walahi, I just googled it hoping to see something spectacular. I was disappointed. Let me stop at that, so I don't sound condescending.

All man to his wish. Some are looking for job of 70k, others 150k. Some want 300k, another wants 1million. May God grant us according to our heart desires.

The government knows that at least 50% of the workforce in the civil service are redundant, that's why they don't care about the wages. A lot of these civil servants cannot thrive in serious private organisations that mean business. Hence, they are satisfied with the 70k monthly, no stress job.
Asides from those in highly specialized organisations and who are being paid well for it.......
I rest my case!


The type of mentality some of you exude here is why some people insist that civil service jobs are for the lazy unproductive folks. Go to Federal Secretariat in Abuja and see something grin
You nailed it. When that one said oil companies start with 250k I just decided he wasn't worth my time. Like you said, they generalise everything about the civil service to the private sector. They even think its better.

Lol no be only X10 na X100. Make una rest abeg. My elder brother was a chemical engineer at dangote before moving to Canada. His salary was not up to 300k with more than 3yrs experience. Don’t say what u are not sure of haba. Nigerians are just funny pple. 🤦🏾
newnig was right. Alot of you here are very ignorant and know nothing. So you think Dangote pays well? grin oh because of name? Dangote is one of the lowest paying private companies you can think of. You dey mention private companies you dey mention dangote lol. You are ignorant.

Iyajelili:
I'm replying you because you said we insulted that guy. You are proud and rub it off on other people. Yes, I know there are jobs that pay entry level 350k and more but what brought about this argument before you came into it was the guy saying he's contemplating suicide when a lot of people are jobless. If he's not content with that salary he could just have resigned or move to a better organisation like you pointed out in your discussion. Please stop looking down at people because you don't know tomorrow.
You won't understand why he is contemplating suicide on a 130k salary job.

He spends approx 2k daily on tfare . 2k×30=60,000

1k can barely feed him in a day. Even 1.5 can not feed him well in a day. Let's just assume he spends 1.5k in 30 days that's 45, 000

105k has gone to transport and food alone.

25k left. We have not added house rent, kids upbringing, school fees etc and other miscellaneous. At the end of the month he will not even have any savings rather swimming in debt. God forbid there is an emergency . Why won't he think of suicide. My brother if you're drooling over 130k salary then you are still far behind.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Monthly Net Salary Of Federal Government Ministries,departaments, Agencies And P by UrennaNkoli(f):
I know people earning 1.5M above and are still resigning. Infact they are always broke. Of course I expect peeps on this thread to call them crazy for resigning from a job they'll prefer to remain in all their life. If you see 350k as so much of a salary to be contempted with then you're on a long thing and you really need to wake up. Enough of all these people are earning less than 100k and are still surviving comparisons. Why should you be comparing yourself to them? Why not compare yourself to those earning 700k and above. If you don't change this mindset then you might just remain wretched. Someone who has no job will likely see a 130k salary as a big deal. When he starts earning that amount, he'll understand better. Someone earning 130k salary likely see 350k salary as a big deal. When he starts earning 350, he will realise its nothing. 350k earner will see 700k as a big deal and so on.

Please get the f*ck out, Mr. Proud Under sabi. If you aren't dumb you'd know people actively seek out opportunities even when they earn relatively well. My cousin has worked with a good number of the international NGOs in this country as a consultant or documentary photographer and he tells us he's always applying for things despite that relative success. You undersabi people think 350k is enough to be content and stop seeking new opportunities.
You nailed it. It's so pathetic. Like 350k is so much of a big deal. I was actually irritated when they insulted that guy for complaining over his 130k salary. What is 130k? I don't think most of these guys live in lagos.

Big Mama, a former colleague with less than 4 years of experience, recently joined KUDA and is currently earning above a million naira. This December, I find myself missing my time in the private sector, as I could have received more than 700k, including the 13th-month bonus and other perks.
Don't mind that guy who is seeing 350k as a big deal. He even said you need 6+ years of experience to earn that much lol when many junior staffs earn more than that in most private firms. Where I work, corpers are paid 107k. Ordinary corpers. There are so many companies out there that pay good money. One thousand and one of them.

Where some HR guys dey collect 1.5M above yet many of them still dey resign coz the money no do them. Not to talk of directors of this and that. Wake up. And yes, private companies yapa for lagos that pays well. I can list a thousand and one of them.

Kawusky:
🤣🤣🤣mr lamba . List 1001 companies wey graduate trainees dey earn 350k after completion in nigerian. We talk with fact and data here not just mouth. I am very sure you are unemployed. Even oil and gas graduate trainee is slightly above 200k - 300k and the percentage is very low like 5/100. The NGOs , international organisation and oil company earn more but the number of available positions compare to number of applicants is outrageous because those jobs are competitive. You sounds like there is job everywhere. Cmon. be realistic and specific. Don't just open mouth like an illiterate. People have gone beyond earning montly salary to entrepreneurs and content creators due to competitions in job market. I am not disputing the facts that there are jobs that pay good money. however, what is the percentage of those slots to applicants. You need to learn about data analytics and review.

I will be waiting for you to list your acclaimed 1001 companies.
You are not worth arguing with. Its even foolishness to argue with someone who have almost zero experience in the labour force. I goofed big time. Why should I be arguing on such topics with person wey no get experience grin. You cannot know about salaries because you barely have received one. Many private companies out there pay good money. Where I work 350 is even like the least. Ordinary corper sef dey collect 107k monthly and you are here talking. Lol wake up.

Kawusky:
Una don come with una lamba, even some directors salary no reach 350k. Just say that you are making not earn .. normally, 350k salary is for senior positions in nigeria employment sectors . I have a friend that earn 90k montly. But he is making up to 300k per month from runs. The fact that you earn above 350k montly and still sending CV out make it obvious. You need up to 6 - 10 years experience to earn above 350k in a private organisation so what are you saying 🤔. And you can't tell me that you work in a government organisation with over 350k and still sending CVs out. Make una reduce una lying. People dey suffer. Average Nigeria youth earn less than 100k salary. I am saying this with fact.
Wake up from your slumber. You are far behind.
. 350k wey graduate trainees dey earn upon their completion in many companies out there. I go list one thousand and one companies for you. Wake up. There is a reason I told the guy this thread is actually for people who have nothing

HitlerGaddafi:
No wonder. Don't worry when you start earning around 130k in lagos. you'll realise its not really different from being jobless.

In the north or some parts of the country, that money might be a bit decent. Infact 130k in a state like kwara is equivalent to earning almost 350k+ in lagos. I worked and lived in kwara some years back. I was earning about 75k then and still balling.
You made a mistake grin. This thread is actually for people who are jobless and not for people who have a job but looking for something better. That is the reason for the backlash and insult you got. Someone who has no job will definitely see 130000 salary as a big deal. When they start earning within that range they will understand better. I earn a little above 350k monthly and I still send cvs almost everyday. If you tell people here you earn that amount and you're still searching for something , I bet you will be eaten raw.

I'm not talking about new one.

That fairly used laptop with such not too impressive configuration shouldn't exceed 250k.

I could find a used Alienware or MSI laptop with a minimum of 4GB graphics card for the same price point.


Tech savvy keeeee you dia grin
I won't be insultive with you because you're obviously not too intelligent. Someone bought something for 800k, used it for few months and you expect him to sell it 250k? Na core i3 you wan buy because you won't even get a 10th gen e
Generation core i5 for that amount. Na your type go carry 150k enter computer village say you dey find iphone 13.

Your problem is that you don't even know systems are of different generations. You obviously think core i5 is core i5 everywhere. Like I said, I'm not advertising for the guy but you can't get a cleanly used 12th gen for that amount you have.
