Heartmelting artistic illustrations of a soldier's travails go viral on social media

The Nigerian soldiers who have died and those who continue to serve the nation at the risk of loosing their lives, often don't get celebrated enough. Many women have been made widows and children, fatherless all in cause of safeguarding the nation.

Perhaps, it is in this light that a yet to be identified photographer decided to make an artistic illustrations, shinning light on not just the soldier, but the family he lives behind when duty calls.

The photos which were shared by a Facebook user, Aliyu Ibrahim, depicts the story of a soldier who is called to the battle ground and has to leave a young wife and children back home. In the series, it appears the wife gets the message of her husband's death and is left with the kids to mourn their tragic loss.

Although the work is beautifully and artistically done, the tragic undertone is quite heavy to ignore.

In another news, a video of a young military student just went viral on social media after he was seen refusing to jump from a height during one of the training. The video shows the moment a mild drama ensued after a Nigerian cadet refused to go through a process voluntarily during a military training.

The military student was very scared of jumping from such a height during the training despite being aided with rope.

This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
