Damn! This is so sad. Hope you're doing better now.
I'm good but still find it difficult to let my daughter go. She was my first fruit.

Nobody intervened, so bad. Sorry for your loss sir.

During one of the fuel shortages, I was begging one to allow me enter into a filling station to buy with a keg into my car that already stopped on the way. I needed to go and check my baby who was on admission in a hospital. I had earlier on went home to get hot water and some other stuff for her and my wife. He refused and I was persistent in begging him. Before I knew it, he gave me a slap that made me turned in 360 degrees. Because I was under intense pressure of all I was passing through, I returned the slap and a fight broke out at the filling station. With the help of his unfortunate colleague, they dragged me to the back of the filling station and beat a hell out of me. To my surprise, none of the on-lookers came to my rescue. When I was dying, I started speaking and begging them in Hausa language before they allowed me. They made me do frog jumps from where we were to the exit of the station and as I was going, they both were kicking me with their boots. It was a humiliating and an unforgettable experience for me as eventually lost my daughter. Since then, my hatred for Nigeria army increased and God forbid that I will have a thing to do with any of them. Thank God I'm not even in Nigeria again so nothing will make our paths cross

Mine happened in NYSC camp, he came to our room and found me still preparing for the parade, this is because yesterday's activity was too tasking and went to bed late in that cold weather, rather than listen to my plea, he just too a bucket of water under the bunk, and poured everything on me, then he sent me out. That day, I felt like hitting him but I controlled my anger.

I have never had a wrong day with Army personnels. You have know the military way of greeting them. By doing just that you have neutralize all threat from them and they will thread carefully with you being a civilian who knows the military code. Just that alone gives you impunity from them first. Some will ask who are you, tell them your name and that your brother is in Borno State serving. End of story!

And when they ask you what DIV?

You go begin bite mouth baa?

You must be to the state to lie with it.

Many years ago when I was still a teenager I was going home one late night in a government estate meant for civil servants in Akure. An army captain was also living in one of the houses, so I walked past his house only for the two recruits doing mai guard in front of the house accosted me and said why am walking in front of a military zone in an estate meant for civil servants. One was very belligerent but the other one was pleading to him to calm down he kept waving his rifle talking angrily but the other one kept pleading to him. I was so scared because I was probably like 12 or 13 years old then. This went on for like 10 minutes until the one pleading to him told me to walk away.

For a minor? This is so unprofessional.

Mine was last year during the lockdown, I really needed to travel from ibadan to Ife for important business...carried my coconut head on the road, got stopped at ife-ibadan express around ikire....the idiots told me to park, asked if I was a medical doctor, govt official or health worker, obviously no, man was about to go rampage on my face when I told him who I was going to meet in Ife, just like that my fresh face was saved from damage. In nigeria, who you know matters alot.

Nigerians are too cool. Haven passed this in the hands of military officers when you know you are innocent, the beast and devil in you ought to be awaken. If you cannot kill them physically, you kill them spiritually, it works.



There are many people waiting to kill spiritually, all they need you to do is bring a name of someone that wronged you and the case is history, and these military guys are a good example to use because they clearly wronged you.



You Nigerians should learn how to fight back that's the only way things can change.



Many uniformed people die mysteriously or get killed on duty without knowing why, this is one of the many reasons cos not everybody is forgiven and ordinary.


Some communities once someone dies in a family untimely, they must inquire spiritually what killed the person and devil help whoever have hand in the death, because the person will show clearly on a mirror no jokes and whatever curse the family lay on that person is a done deal.



I just pity some of these foolish, ignorant uniformed guys sha

None but it almost happened few years ago.



I was on my way to a friend's sister's birthday that day and I decided to dress a bit rugged. I wore a black T-shirt, army green combat Jean
and timberland boot......I was also with a brown backpack containing the gift I bought for my friend's sister. It was as if my neighbour knew what would happen, when he saw me he said. "Ah ah! Which kain dressing be this na, you don turn mopol abi soldier"? I just smiled at him and continued my journey.


I got to the junction and was waiting for bike but none was coming so I decided to take a lil walk till I get one. I saw an army Hilux packed in front of a hotel and some soldiers standing close to it. They were staring at me as I was approaching but I kept my cool and pretended as if I didn't notice but deep down I was getting scared. I tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact with them but I was observing with corner eye because I knew they would call me.......I never even waka pass dem well sef nai one soldier say "hey you, come here!

I didn't bother to turn before I dashed off like Hussain Bolt because I was familiar with the area....I run enter one compound before I see myself I don burst out for another street......Only God nai know wetin for happen to me dat day assuming I nor run.

Was traveling in a mini bus and on getting to a military check point during the regime of Abacha, the military boys asked the driver to pull over and as he did so, they started asking him to settle them before he could continue, whole they were still arguing, some of us alighted from the bus because they were wasting a lot of time going back and forth with their bargain.
So I decided to enquire from the conductor how much they were asking for and he told me and I said it's too exorbitant and one of their friends maybe he's also a military but on mofti heard me and asked me what I said and before I could reply he dropped his traveling bag and pounced on me raining blows on me from all angles including uppercuts, he tore my shirts and I was left with singlets alone before the ones at the checkpoint intervened and ask me to go back into our bus, while using their koboko on me at the same time though it wasn't as painful as the blows. I quietly obeyed with a swollen face and torn shirts. (Note that the one that beat me up was not traveling in our vehicle, he was traveling in another vehicle and was exchanging pleasantries with the ones at the checkpoint when they stopped our vehicle)
Since then I've learnt to mind my business whenever I am in their midst .

I was slapped in 2015. It was in Auchi during my NYSC days..I went to back to withdraw, I joined the ATM Queue, one guy just came from behind to withdraw, I questioned him why he's jumping the queue, next thing I heard is a slap on my head, his colleague came from behind too to give me a slap. I was embarrassed that day..Both of them weren't on uniform..It is well

Not on uniform? Walahi we die there.

I'm a northerner living in the North. What you said is absolutely through. We don't go through such abuse by law enforcement agents like you guys. We dey fk their styles up if dem try am. May be it's cos of you guys' inborn spirit of fear that's why they ride on una like that.

It's not spirit of fear guy, although I have to mention that the average westerner is known to avoid death at all cost, even if their dignity is taken from them.

But the thing is that in the North, most families have one or two members in the military or police or DSS as senior officers. The recruits know this and try to avoid getting into trouble with them superiors.

Also, the average northerner, like the easterner, is willing to die for his right and will not accept being stripped of his human dignity.

Cheers man.

It is the men in black(Police)that always like to turn innocent people to criminals because of bail money.
While police is a friend of criminals and enemy of good people
