How I spent my holidays and my goals for 2020.

"Holidays", It's a word I haven't heard since I have been recruited as a soldier. The day I rest to earth shouldn't be my holiday. It's amazing I am having my holiday trip in a forest between Bornu and Lake Chad.


December is here but I have been fighting for the past 10 years; that's my holiday. We have been fighting, chasing the enemies for the past 10 years; that's my holiday. They have been chasing us too, and the casualties are not few.

This has to be the coldest of all Decembers in the theater for me. My knees are knocked, I want to move my back but I can't. Shivering, I gently move my finger off the trigger so I don't set off an unnecessary alarm 2 kilometers away from camp.

I was dressed in a camouflage, laying down with my lower body partly in a trench. I can smell lost blood and flesh, but I can't seem to find fear. I can not sleep, I must keep awake so my brothers can sleep, so that my sisters can sleep and so that the citizens might live. My holiday is a life of dedication.


Tuesday 24th December 2019, enemies struck at will. Dozens of ISWAP fighters driving trucks and motorcycles stormed into Kwarangulum, shooting fleeing residents and burning homes after looting food supplies in large quantities.


My Reconnaissance patrol team chased after them and fired at will. My riffle keeps getting hot and my gloves melts, but I have to hold it too defend. My gun my; my best friend as I shoot-and-scoot. The enemies returned fire and then we resorted to flanking maneuver, brought out an RPG 7 and targeted the their third Hilux.

Boom!!!
Stolen corn on the road spread zigzag like a drunkard's walk. I saw a smouldering Hilux in the bush with visible 6 sacks of millet that can't be salvaged. I saw body parts littered everywhere. Rocket propelled grenade luncher never miss.

Traaataatataa tata ta tata I shot. How on earth was he still trying to move? He has emaciated and had all sort of charms around his waste. "Bastard!" Marshall shouted! "Let him collect his refund from the person wey do him jazz".

25th of December, we tried to reassure the villagers of protection but they cried, and a man who lost his daughter wept bitterly. These scenes attracts a heavy toll on even the strongest of all men. I wondered if God was truly watching what men are doing to each other. But as a soldier you show no weakness but sympathy and remorse. We and a packet of Civilian JTF helped bury the dead and went on rescue and recovery mission.


On our way for mission, we chased a game but I killed it with a final shot. We roasted antelope and celebrated Christmas with it. No chickens in the war zone "bro". It's funny it was enough to go round. Commander warned us to stop killing animals for food at the war front, that we are not hunters but man is naturally a farmer and a hunter.

We prayed for the comrades who have lost their lives to this decade long war. We were Reminded that victory comes from God but, " it is fatal to enter a war without the will to win it". We prayed too meet our loved ones back at home in peace. And at that moment, water came out of my nose, I cleaned it and more came but it was from my eyes.
I remembered my mother, a widow. I am her only surviving son and I haven't seen her in two years. She's worried I am unmarried, I wonder if she's thinking about me too.

I am worried about her health, arthritis is bad. I am worried she hasn't gotten her pension after retireing in 2016, I am worried the war isn't ending anytime soon and I am worried she rejected the money I sent. I am worried she wants to see me but I have lost too many comrades.

I have become a man fueled by hate, aggression and revenge. My holidays are of self pity, guns, bullets, tanks, explosives , cold, heat and a host of inconvenience, but a sacrifice for my nation. I will live for something rather than die for nothing.

On the 27th, we heard BBC reported the attack on Kwarangulum but it was inaccurate. The war takes a new twist each other day. I was put in charge of HMG; Multi-role heavy machine gun. Commander called it Browning M2 and I wonder if we are baking cake. In fact, the devil in me wanted to ask him for the milk flavouring but RSM might not even understand.


New Multi-National Joint Task Force personnel just got posted here and they are being introduced to us. One said he likes my gun with a Stern face but I can see through his dark sun shade. He knows this holiday, I have seen more woes than hope on this soil. He wanted to shake me but I held firm my hands around my riffle.

I follow standard protocol not friendship unless you are a Nigerian soldier. I don't trust these 'Whites'.

The civilian JTF are the only ones who fancy these foreign troops. Their guns aren't really different from ours, it's just the traning and discipline.

28th of December, it seems God has decided to open the doors where he locked extreme cold. I am eager to try my HMG on any thing that moves in this thick mist. We have been alerted by Gajigaram that ISWAP are on the northern section between us and Gamboru.

And I am in the cold. I am unable to breath. Eyes opened and not blinking, I am at alert with my comrades so that civilians might sleep in peace, so that you and your wife might have fun at night, so that your kids can eat and go to school peacefully.

But you hate me for what men who are indisciplined have done. You blame me for what men who are not morally balanced have done because they wore force uniforms.

Here I am in this blistering cold, prepared to meet my maker to protect you. Here, I am at the war front with no woman to keep me warm but my right hand when I am Hot

On the 30th of December, by a stroke of luck, I was at Bama because I was drafted to Fighting patrol. I called my mum and she responded with a weak voice but immediately she heard my voice, she called my name twice in quick succession. She said she has been trying to reach me. I told her the network where I was is poor for now..

I lied to her that there was no more fighting but she seemed to be crying and not believe me. She said the media still carries news of soldiers killed by Boko Haram. She begged me to take permission and come home. She didn't remember Nigerian Army is not Government Secondary School Ilorin boarding house, where I could jump the fence, and run to her to every weekend to eat her food.

She reminded me that dad was no more and how lonely she has been. I lied to her again that the war was over and there is no more boko haram. I wanted to tell her, "I love you mumy", but I don't want her to cry. I don't want the other soldiers to laugh at me.

I wanted to have my holiday with mum, I want to see my mother again. I am afraid, I may not be alive tomorrow. My heart grows heavier each day.

I want to hug my mother again and drive her to Shoprite but I am faraway somewhere in Bornu. Having my holidays at the battlefield.

I have it at the back of my mind that goals are not easily achieved. My goals this 2020 is to go back to school for my masters, no matter what it takes. 'Awol is blood and blood is Awol'

I am planning on taking a lover this 2020 no matter how challenging it may be. I have decided to keep my goals few in order to work on them strongly. I know I am seeing my mom this year so no need of holding that as a goal.

ifyalways:
Please keep your name and private information out of your essay. If you must inject names into your Essay, let it be fictitious names please.

Hi ifyalways I just checked the thread again to see the easy has been reduced to 1000 mean while I have written an essay with1420 words.

Cutting it down again will distort the valuable content.
I wish I can suggest making use of your initial rule to the topic

People see you as irresponsible when you visit the beer parlor. They don't know a man is trying to socialize and kill depression.
I don't know if I am trying to please people or myself. I have to quit drinking.

Yes I smoke too, but it was easy to puff that off before it became an addiction.

I Want to make a lot of changes this year.
