Lord remember the departed servant in ur paradise. Cause for this country your divine peace.....

Okay

Tough country!

They keep doing the same thing every year.

Can't they move this event to weekends?

I trekked from Finance to Nitel Junction becuase of this.

Trust Nigerian and our exploitive nature. Cab drivers were charging #400 to Banex

Yeye country!

They should have cancelled this celebration and channel that energy to rescuing the kidnapped family

Our heroes, our saviours. Rest on, great soldiers.

Noted.

I see no reason for this hypocritical remembrance parade when the living standard of heroes alive is lesser than fair, what is the essence of remembering the fallen heroes when the living heroes are going hungry, living without respect? When being a soldier is tantamount to being useless (Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu)

Best comment I've seen all day. It's all a charade

What's the essence of this show off? Does that mean we ignore the living and honor them when they're dead? What's the benefit of being a Nigerian Soldier? Is it just the uniform? What's the guarantee that the families left behind are doing ok. Did they die for nothing? Until they do the right thing, this is just to remind them their family members died for nothing.

RIP to the fallen Heroes
