A Nigerian soldier has shared his deep sorrow over the frequent deaths of his comrades in ambushes, urging government officials to witness the dangers themselves.
The persistent security challenges in Nigeria continue to take a heavy toll on frontline troops, prompting some soldiers to voice their frustrations and fears publicly.
He stated, “It breaks my heart to see our fellow soldiers fall day after day. I urge the president, governors, ministers, and other officials to send their own children to serve in the army so they can experience these ambushes firsthand.”
In a separate post, another soldier expressed similar exhaustion over the constant loss of colleagues, saying, “We are tired of seeing our soldiers die in ambushes,” underscoring the emotional and physical strain of repeated attacks.
These statements highlight the mounting pressure within the military, where continuous ambushes are taking a significant psychological toll on those defending the nation. Many soldiers feel inadequately equipped and vulnerable when facing heavily armed criminal groups in rural and remote regions.
The soldiers’ posts quickly gained attention online, sparking widespread reactions from Nigerians who voiced sorrow, anger, and frustration over the country’s ongoing insecurity. Social media users also pointed out the stark contrast between the dangers faced by soldiers and the relative safety enjoyed by those in positions of power.

@BRC20NBT: “Inna lillahi” don plenty pass “Alhamdulilah” part really got me crying and notice as e Dey record e Dey check hin 6 ,, if soldiers don Dey fear , so who am I ?”
@Abdulsalam5476: “Very disheartening. They will never let their loved ones join any armed forces. They have the mentality that those things are meant only for poor people, and you know what they mean by “poor” to them, it means we are nothing, our lives are nothing.”
@DiabloChaze: “He’s said it all, honestly. It’s heartbreaking watching their colleagues fall every single day while the people in power stay protected behind convoys. If their own children were on the frontlines facing the same ambushes, maybe this country would finally take security seriously.”
@PhelmsBuff: “My question now is, WHAT EXACTLY IS TINUBU DOING ? na to dey wear agba up and down and be shouting “e lo fokan bale”
As ambushes continue, the call for government officials to share in the risks of those defending the country grows ever louder.
