Nigerian soldier writes touching note in case he dies
Despite the obvious danger that goes with being a soldier, fine young men have continued to express their commitment towards the defence of their beloved fatherland.
One of such commitments was displayed by @codedforever7, a Nigerian soldier when he wrote a touching poem urging his family and loved ones to accept whatever happens to him because he is a soldier.
He wrote: “If I die in a war zone, box me up and send me home. Put my medal on my chest, tell my mum I did my best. Tell my dad not to bow, he won’t get tension from me now. Tell my brother to study perfectly, keys to my bike will be his permanently. Tell my sis not to be upset, her brother will not rise after this sunset. Tell my love not to cry… Because I am a soldier, Born to die”.
Nigeria has lost many soldiers in the ongoing war against Boko Haram which has claimed at least 20,000 lives.
In November, seven soldiers -Lt.-Col. Muhammad Abu-Ali, Seargents Muazu Ibrahim, Bassey Okon, Hussani Jafaru, Cpl. Chukwu Simon, Private Salisu Lawal and Seaman Patrick Paul – were killed in an attempt to take over terrorist held Mallam Fatori area of Borno state from the terrorist.
