UNTIL IT TOUCHES YOUR OWNā¦
Do you have a brother⦠an uncle⦠aunty⦠cousin⦠boyfriend⦠or even a husband in the military?
No?
Okay⦠now I get it.
Thatās why when you see āSoldier killed in actionā you just scroll past it like itās nothing. Like itās just another headline.
But let me ask you somethingā¦
Do you really understand what that means?
That one soldier is not just a name.
Thatās somebodyās son⦠somebodyās whole world.
Thatās a mother whose heart just got shattered into pieces she may never fix again.
Thatās a father trying to stay strong but dying inside quietly.
Thatās a wife lying in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, wishing it was all a bad dream.
Thatās children who will grow up knowing their father only through pictures and stories.
You call him a soldier.
But to someone else⦠he was everything.
Soldiers are human too.
They feel pain. They feel fear. They miss home.
But they still go out there⦠still wear that uniform⦠still stand in front of danger so you donāt have to.
Now letās be honestā¦
If everyone decided, This job is too dangerous, let someone else do it, who would be left?
Do you think you would sleep peacefully in your house?
Do you think you would be reading this right now without fear?
But instead⦠we take them for granted.
We insult them.
We doubt them.
Some people even sit down and wish them to fail.
Fail?
Do you understand what their failure means?
It means chaos.
It means no safety.
It means fear everywhere.
And the painful part isā¦
most of you donāt understand because it has never been personal.
Youāve never had someone you love out there.
Youāve never waited for a call that didnāt come.
Youāve never felt your heart race because of one unknown number.
Youāve never lived with that silent fear every single day.
If you did⦠you would understand.
You would understand the pain.
The trauma.
The quiet suffering families go through.
So next time you see Soldier killedā¦
donāt just scroll.
don't just say trash.
Pause & Think.
Because that life meant more than you can ever imagine.
But I guessā¦
until it touches your ownā¦
you may never truly understand.
God bless the Armed Forces of Nigeria

We both left home at 18.
You cleared JAMB
I got recommended.
You got UNIVERSITY,
I got NDA.
You pursued your degree,
I had the toughest training.
Your day started at 7 and ended at 5,
Mine started at 4 till 9 and
Some nights also included.
You had your convocation ceremony,
I had my POP.
Best company took you and
Best package was awarded,
I was ordered to join my platoon
With 2 stars piped on my shoulders.
You got a job,
I got a way of life.
Every eve you got to see your family,
I just wished i got to see my parents soon.
You celebrated festivals with lights and music,
I celebrated with my comrade in bunkers.
We both married,
Your wife got to see you everyday,
My wife just wished i was alive.
You were sent to business trips,
I was sent on line of control.
We both returned,
Both wives couldn't control their tears, but
You wiped her but,
I couldn't.
You hugged her but,
I couldn't.
Because I was lying in the coffin,
With medals on my chest and,
Coffin wrapped with tricolour.
My way of life ended,
Yours continued.
We both left home at 18.
I dedicate this to every soldier and uniform person out there, we don't understand what you do and the sacrifices you make, but know that we are eternally grateful!
Have you seen this Salon in Tanzania where women worship God as they braid each other š„š„š„
I saw the video where the owner said her salon will never be a place for gossip ,or discussing Men ,she is doing things differently.
My God this is the Kingdom ... š„š„
