Post traumatic stress disorder

Send him to Sambisa now, he will begin to shiver.

I dont know why our security personnels in the country is this way. Once they are recruited and offered that camouflage, they become undisputed...

That's totally bad, for NIGERIA my country.

I remembered a movie i watched, the American soldier told the American civilian not to go that way, and the civilian was like... Who the hell are you to tell me such. He even pleaded to the civilian not to please go that way, that the route is restricted, at the end the military man wrote down the vehicle number and left the man, but he was later arrested and made to pay fine.

In Nigeria, the reverse would have been the case, one resounding slap to the civilian will reset his brain, even self fear no go allow you to disobey

PTSD. It's always dangerous to send soldiers home straight after leaving the war front.

Rip to the deceased...
its envident too much mental stress due to years of fighting up north must have taken its toll on him....
BTW, do the Nigerian military conduct mental health test on its employees?

Soldier go, Soldier come. Barrack remain

Soldier no dey stab soldier, thats betrayal. Never snitch on thy gang . Never.


Never say never.

This only happens in a country that do not take mental health seriously
