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.

Ibrahim shared the photos with the caption: "Live of a soldier...His going out is known, his coming back is not sure....May God forgive the sins of the fallen and accept their soul and condole the families they left behind."

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.

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?

In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
