PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES SALARY INCREASES FOR ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL
President Bola Tinubu has approved salary increases of between 30 and 80 per cent for Nigeria’s armed forces personnel.
About 250,000 personnel are to benefit from the new deal.
Under the new arrangement, which becomes effective from September 1, officers above the rank of colonel will enjoy a 30 per cent salary increase. This applies to Brigadier-Generals, Major-Generals, Lieutenant Generals and Generals.
Personnel from colonel down to warrant officer will have a 50 per cent increase, while Private to Staff Sergeant will have an 80 per cent increase.
The pay package will increase the yearly salary bill for the country's armed forces personnel from N660 billion to N924 billion.
President Tinubu has always praised the courage and sacrifices of members of the armed forces as they confront the scourge of banditry, kidnapping and terrorism in some parts of the country.
“The men and women who help to keep us safe in our homes must be supported and appreciated in the course of their duties to our nation.
“Our administration will continue to prioritise troop welfare and modernise the armed forces by providing the weapons and technological tools needed to discharge their duties.
“Our administration believes that no nation can achieve greatness without security. We therefore remain resolute in mobilising all military and law enforcement assets to eliminate security threats and protect the lives and property of all Nigerians.
“I urge our servicemen to take our gesture as a sign of our deep appreciation of the services they render to our fatherland. Together we shall prevail over the enemies intent on destroying the fabric of our nation.”

*Who are these
Olódò farming engagements with ISLAM, lol
Oh! This was the clip my client(non-muslim) told me he saw on TikTok yesterday 🤣
He said "one Alfa said you shouldn't work for Christians"
I answered that no Alfa would say that, I already knew where he's going. So, I just helped him say maybe he wanted to say "don't work for churches"
He exclaimed "yes"
I replied him that he's correct and that's it, I further told him I rejected a job from a "bet9ja" branch recently
He said "ehn bible is against betting too"
I replied him Una dey same category for our side
He said "you'll reject ₦10m contract cos it's church?"
I said, yes easily 😅
And I asked, do you know how many Muslim brothers that worked at winners and didn't get payment? So, it's better I stick to my belief
He said "but you're working for a Christian here"
I answered, that's different, this is your business not your place of WORSHIP
He subtly threatened not to call me again(he dey play) but, I answered him instantly that it doesn't matter
My rizq is with my creator 😎
Keferi will be talking about money as if they can provide for anything without the permission of ALLAH 😂
Ted Cruz is not even a Christian. He is a Zionist and a supporter of oppressors. So who are they really fighting for? This is why I tell Nigerian Christians not to be deceived by these people.
If truly they love you as they claim, why ban you from coming to America in the name of Christian genocide? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round?
You want to fight for Christians, yet you closed the door for them to escape to your safe haven? Is that not enough evidence for us to reason as a country?
They know associating Islam with terrorism is the only card that plays. They will continue to do it until they destabilize us. Later, they will apologize that they got the wrong information after we are already in ruins. They did it in Iraq.
Nigerians, do not be deceived. These people do not mean well for us. Let’s be one. We can fight and win our battles together.
So far, NELFUND has helped 1,635,676 people. It’s great to see that Mekunu children are among the most supported. I’m really hoping that those who are discouraging the students who need this help will reconsider.

There will come a day when you will finally understand why Allah made you wait.
Right now, it may not make sense. You may wonder why some things take longer for you, why some prayers seem unanswered, and why some doors remain closed no matter how much you hoped for them to open.
But always remember that Allah sees what we can not see. The waiting season is not always a punishment. Sometimes, it is protection, preparation, and mercy we have yet to understand.
Maybe Allah is arranging things you do not even know about. Maybe He is strengthening your heart, redirecting your path, removing what is not meant for you, or preparing something far greater than what you asked for.
So do not lose hope just because you can not see anything happening yet. A flower blooms at its appointed time, and so will the things Allah has written for you.
Trust His timing. Trust His wisdom.
Because one day, you will look back at the nights you cried, the moments you questioned everything, and the prayers you thought were delayed…
And your heart will finally understand why it had to happen that way.
“Alhamdulillah, Allah knew what was best for me all along.” 🤍
