I would advice you read that before this.

Well, today is another Jan 15th, exactly a year after the post above. There has been a lot of happenings in the last 365 days, the situations surrounding this post isn't as dramatic as the first, but I feel I owe you an update.


A great part of the NE theatre is under the control of the Nigeria Armed Forces. There are still little areas needing clearing, but believe me, a great deal of work has been done and the dogs of hell are on the run. Their camps have been obliterated and their morale destroyed. They still try to regroup every so often, but they find the men of the Nigeria Armed Forces ready and up to the task.


We still have some bad elements within the ranks who are unhappy with the advances made, but they have no option but to reset their loyalties. Diversion of personnels funds still happens, but the magnitude and frequency is a far cry from what it used to be.


Pte. Ahmed, the son of the woman whom I bought bread from every morning is still in Borno but he is now a Lance Corporal. Adamu, my good friend and buddy has been transferred to the South South; he has also been promoted. 'Oga Sunday' who is more or less a senior brother is fully recovered and now a security detail to the GOC 7 Division. Sgt. 'Mama Ade' is now a Staff Sergeant, I heard her husband is trying to reconcile with her. WO. 'Baba Ola' has bought an SUV from his operation allowance, he was in our house over the weekend. WO. 'Baba Destiny' is still in Gwoza but his family can sleep better now that the area has been liberated.

The situation in the Barracks isn't very rosy, but its much better than it was 12 months ago. Families are being reunited and their welfare package being upgraded.

The oath to protect this country no matter the cost, is very much in place and we're not going to renegade. We are ready to give our lives, if the situation demands. This has nothing to do with the payment we receive, it is a sincere desire to protect motherland. No matter how you spin it, it takes gut to see death and still face it head on, smiling !

The afterlife is a place filled with uncertainties for the fallen, but certainly the tales of their exploits in this life should not be forgotten. They starved and kept vigil to protect this nation from those who would love to see her fail; for that, they deserve our prayers and good words.

A path outside the military isn't going to be half as adventurous, but it's enough consolation that I had done my part. I might not die while charging at the enemy nor while performing a HALO jump behind enemy lines; but whenever death comes, don't cry or wail.

Just Remember Me, Pray for Me.

I'm an ex-Soulja !


Our Heroes Would Forever Be Remembered

Nice read, Wish the politheficians can be made to fight these wars themselves. Salute to the great soulja.

Death is a certainty! But how many of us knows what will actually kill us or when? Being a soldier narrows down the options which is quite scary but audacious.

Tempted to ask many questions but.....

Here's wishing you well in your future endeavors. May Allah be your guard and guide.

It takes a lot to understand the pain and sacrifice our dear gallant Soldiers are making ranging from NE, Peace keeping and those even where there's no crisis. The only priceless gift we can give you guys is to support you in prayer.
Allah's protection is the best, may He bestow it on you all.
I love you all

Kudos Gallant Soldiers we are Solidly behind you all...........

what rank did u retire with and hope you are doing something to keep you busy? All the best sir....

I don't understand you are an ex-soulja, were you dismissed or retired?

Nice write up though, I almost shed tears reading it. "It takes gut to see death and still face it head on smiling" word.
