In a viral video, the visibly upset soldier voiced his frustration, lamenting that despite risking their lives in counter-insurgency and anti-banditry missions, many soldiers still earn just ₦100,000 monthly.

“How can you give footballers and basketball players ₦150 million while soldiers who defend this country with their lives are paid peanuts?” the soldier lamented. “We are out here in the bush, sleeping in trenches, getting attacked by terrorists, and all we get is ₦100k a month?”

"President Tinubu, you get mind oo. See where we, Nigerian soldiers, are suffering. Look at our houses here, yet you still had the guts to give Super Falcons players ₦150 million each and an apartment, while soldiers fighting at the war front can't even afford good food."😳🙆… pic.twitter.com/Xocn7hyG4a
