FALLEN HEROES: Dedicating This Election To Thousands Of Dead And Maimed Nigerian Soldiers – Editorial

NewsRescue

We would like to dedicated the upcoming general elections to thousands of dead and maimed soldiers of the Nigerian army and their family and friends. Over a thousand soldiers have been killed in the unnecessarily prolonged six year war against Boko Haram.

Ultimately the dead troops which include the Civilian-JTF, who have patriotically served and defended Nigeria as our soldiers in spite of little assistance from the government and absolutely zero acknowledgement from the federal government, are the main victims in the story of the failure of this democratic dispensation.

Our warriors had to fight and die for the failure and insatiable greed of our bloody civilians.

We dedicate this elections to their memories:
