RIP TO THE FALLEN SOLDIERS.

Nigerian people will ambush their soldiers as if these people do not have families at home.

Our troops and police are too off guard. If you see their formation in some check points, they can be easily grazed without any return shot.

Nigeria is at war. The people are hungry and angry. Everybody hate armed forces for their ruthlessness on innocent civilians.

Whoever get his hands on AK dont think twice before shaving the servicemen as revenge and morale booster. Once they see they can graze our seemingly untouchable and powerful (but sleeping) troops, it give them confidence for future attacks.

Must this thing continue?

so sad.. may the good Lord comfort their families.

I tell you.

The lord will deliver una
