describing the life of a Nigerian soldier. Read below
Story of a Soldier
It is not easy been a soldier!! We have cloth in our wardrobes but the
nature of the job leaves no chance to wear them!! Patrol and escort both in the
summer and winter dressing combatantly everyday like an astonaut while others
are asleep we are awake... While you drink table water and beverages in your
homes, we manage water in the jungle we do this just to suppress terrorism!!!
You lay on beds at night while we lay on
tents and trench... While you think of how to embazzle funds we think of how to
attack external forces!!! It is a work to God and humanity. You fucking scream
when you are cut by blade we endure when we are hit by a bullet!!! When a
soldier die, they dont take it as anything.... To them it is a normal thing!!!
But when their wives have miscarriage the whole earth will hear their cry!!!
May be you dont know we are also born from a woman. Ohh Lord! I pray that every
person, people, community, organization or parastatal that whishes me and my
fellow soldiers awful death.....dry thunder from heaven should strike them
down.. Do i hear you say amen!
