Love chills erupt as video of soldier who pays surprise visit to dad after 6 months of being away goes viral

Being away from home for a long time is one of the saddest, emotional things that can ever happen to someone. But even more, homecoming can be even more emotional and gripping. A soldier working in the US army decided to give his dad a surprise visit after he had been away from home for a while. The event that went down has been giving many people the shivers

The young soldier identified as Joshua Jeffries on Twitter had been away from his US-based home for six months. When he did come back home, he decided to first visit his father. But no, he just did not want to show up at home and say, "Holla, I am back."

He wanted to do something extra. Hence, he decided to give his dad a surprise visit at his duty post. The young Josh trailed his father at work, followed him as he got down from his service bus and walk towards where he was supposed to work.

It was while his dad was moving that Josh called his father's name from behind. The alarmed dad jolted and turned around only to see his beloved son in his army uniforms.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
