“My salary for this month is N50K” – Nigerian soldier laments after being unable to pay N35K transport fare to go see his family
Nigerian soldier who recently left Maiduguri bush after one year returns to the same location after being charged N35K as transport fare to go see his family.
The soldier revealed that he was given a break by the military after staying in the Maiduguri bush for a year.
However, when he got to the park, he was told that the transport fare to return home was N35K
He did a quick calculation in his head and found out that his to-and-fro transportation fare would be N70K.
The soldier revealed that his salary for that month was just N50K.
He concluded that it would be better he just returned to the bush in Maiduguri as he can’t afford the transport fare.

famery_ent stated” “To think that a Soldier with 10+ years of experience earns less than $40 a month. But a lazy senator who has done absolutely nothing for his constituency since “selected” by INEC makes almost 20M naira a month. Make it make sense😡😡😡😡”
