Heartbroken Mother of Nigerian Soldier Slams Government Over Troops’ Dire Welfare

An elderly mother of a Nigerian soldier passionately condemns the government for abandoning her son and fellow troops in the bush. She, a widow of a 36-year army veteran, says her late husband never saw the kind of hardship her son endures now. Her son calls home, pleading for relief from the harsh conditions or permission to return. In her own words: “Leaders of Nigeria, our children are in the bush. I have told my son if you can no longer continue, come back home. Nigerian leaders, it will never be well with you people. Please do something about our children in the bush. Oh God of vengeance, avenge our soldiers!”
