Peller Left Speechless as US Soldier Discloses Mouth-Watering Military Benefits If She Dies
- The US soldier revealed that the American government guarantees a massive $500,000 (over ₦750 million) payout to her next of kin in the event of her demise
- She disclosed that upon retirement, she will move back to Nigeria while the US military continues to pay her a monthly salary for the rest of her life
- Even the lowest-ranking officers reportedly earn a minimum of $5,000 monthly, a figure that Peller struggled to believe

“If I die now, my mummy will receive $500k in a severance package,” she said calmly, leaving Peller momentarily speechless.
She went on to reveal that she was preparing for retirement and planned to return to Nigeria afterward to enjoy her lifelong pension benefits.
“Once I’m done, they will be paying me for the rest of my life,” she added.
The lady further claimed that even the lowest-ranking officer in the US military earns at least $5,000 monthly —
“Imagine the lowest officer receiving $5k every month, not to mention a Chief officer,” she noted.
The revelation left Peller so taken aback that he began contemplating a change in career.
With a humorous tone, he asked whether it was still possible for him to enlist, noting that such earnings could transform anyone’s life.
However, when Peller attempted to defend the salaries of Nigerian police officers, the soldier simply smiled and shook her head, refusing to accept the comparison.

@fa4our stated:
"When we talk about building strong institutions and improving the standard of living, we’re accused of demarketing Nigeria. What she’s reacting to is only the tip of the iceberg. Functional systems reward service, protect lives, and support families. That contrast is exactly the conversation the emergency lovers of Nigeria don’t want us to have"
