I was walking into a bar with two of my friends when we noticed some Soldiers in uniform though they were unarmed.

They were demonstrating their parade and we were minding our own business by just walking pass them until one of them called us.

He asked us why we couldn’t say anything to them and he also asked us if what they were doing sounds like a joke to us.

We told them that we were minding our own business and we didn’t even want to interrupt them to actually avoid what later happened.

Later on, one of my three friends who is not calm them started to voice out for them when they started threatening us with milliatary status and he was later calmed by one of them when they see how much he’s ranting.

Then, two of the military came to me and started telling me that they are military men until they tips me to remove my cap which I refused.

When we started arguing one of them suddenly gave me a slap which i really felt the pain.

I was about to give him back the slap then I pitied the milliatary uniform on their neck.

I really felt embarrassed and left the place and went starlight to the bar.

A calm one among the military men came later on to apologize to me and I gave him attention to talk to me.

He apologized for being so rude towards us and I accepted the apology.

Even though, after the whole film the army guys called me and I stood up again from the bar and they apologize again but the actual guy that hit me came back to us and he said wanted to talk to me which I didn’t give attention.

A friend of mine told them to forget it because I can’t be happy with someone that hit me by slap.

I went back to the bar feeling embarrassed because my friends were saying it can’t be them while I was also regretting the whole scene.

I just wanna ask if I can actually hit back an unharmed military men and also wanna know if I was too calm with them to warrant a slap from a young boy of my younger brothers age.

I think I’m too silent with them because I don’t want to attract noise.

Report him with evidence.

Their number one job.

Curse him and let it slide,forget ur friends dt r making u feel less why didn't they stand up thr and then for you or don't they like you that much?...He will pay in some way relax ur tin.

Dem no born any fool well esp younger than me to slap me,if you no wear uniform or identify yourself.they just took advantage of you.lol

My brother the best thing to do is to use your sense, in Nigeria everyone uses their sense. You have used yours well by avoiding them at first even though they slapped you but you also used your sense too in your own way by not retaliating, don't mind your friends oh or feel bad about your decision not to slap the soldier back because it takes bravery to keep cool when needed. They apologized smile and accept their apology, things happens in life that teaches us lessons in patience and perseverance.
AND LASTLY, IF ANY OF THOSE YOUR FRIENDS TRY TO CALL YOU A COWARD, INSULT THEM BACK AND SHUN THEM.

Exactly he should take it as a gentleman, smile, accept their apology, take some paracetamol or alcohol and move on. Also he shouldn't allow his so called friends to mock him.

Your friends claiming it can't be them...

Should have stood up for you!

You avoided trouble by taking it the calm way. Kudos to you OP

Thank you very much, this is the best admonition even for a short tempered person like me, you are not only communicating with op but thousand of people that may likely end up in a similar situations.
You are blessed.

unHarmed. 🤣

Edited already.

OP, I'll advice you let the matter slide. Although it's quite humiliating but letting it slide is the best way.

This country doesn't have the kind of strong institutions that can checkmate military men. So, it's best not be another victim of unknown soldier attack. Not at a time when the military is being humiliated left & right in Nigeria. Better humiliated than wasted.

As for those your friends, I'll advise that you stop rolling with them because it's obvious that they don't mean well. Friends are supposed to stand by each other and not humiliate each other further by talking trash.

It's a good thing u did. If u had returned the slap,next thing u will see is a dagger or jack knife and u will get stabbed and bleed to death,while the unknown soldiers would take off,leaving you to your fate.

This looks like a movie called lamba!!!

Paracetamol and alcohol is a dangerous combination.

Stop leading people to untimely death.
