Nigerian soldiers are not heroes abeg, they are thieves, molesting harmless citizens with their guns, that's y they die by the gun.

ReplyDeletePlease honor the living by paying their entitlements. Retired men and women across the armed forces are being owed by the Federal Government. Each year they come out with different verification exercise, you see old men and women roaming about the venue looking worn out and helpless because of token from the government. Stop the laying of wreaths and channel the funds as welfare package for the families of the fallen. HYPOCRITES...
ReplyDeleteExactly!
