A Nigerian soldier found himself isolated in a vast bush. He desperately sought divine help and protection. His colleagues reportedly abandoned him there.
The video quickly gained traction across social media. It showed the soldier navigating dense foliage. He prayed aloud for his safety and strength.
Soldier’s Harrowing Account from the Bush
The distressed soldier narrated his ordeal. He had endured immense suffering since his abandonment. He stated, “I have suffered greatly. I am striving to save my own life. I am the sole person left in this bush. The other soldiers fled and left me. May God assist me. May God safeguard my life.”
This emotional appeal has resonated deeply nationwide. Many Nigerians are now praying for his wellbeing. They also question the increasing insecurity in the country.
Public Reacts with Alarm and Disappointment
Mazi Uche expressed profound sorrow. He asked, “What is truly happening here? This nation rapidly approaches a state of lawlessness.”
Eze Victor voiced cynicism. He predicted, “Next, they will punish soldiers for carrying phones. This will simply conceal government incompetence.”
User 9jacontrol observed, “The Nigerian army needs assistance. Nigerian citizens require help. Yet, Nigerian politicians do not.”
Chazak Magen added, “This situation is beyond control. It has reached its lowest point for our nation.”
Babatunde Oyeyemi questioned military morale. He highlighted the lack of governmental empathy. “Why would soldiers not be disoriented?” he asked. “A Brigadier General died without government notice. Hundreds of soldiers are killed. No empathy from the government. Instead, they focus on politicking for 2027. Nigerian lives also matter.”
