President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday visited injured soldiers in Maiduguri, Borno state.

On November 18, the Al Barnawi faction of Boko Haram attacked the 157 Task Force Battalion based at Metele in the northern part of Borno State, killing scores of the Nigerian troops while others were injured.








Buhari who was in the state for the COAS Annual Conference used the opportunity to address Nigerian soldiers at the battlefields to further boost their morale.

He later visited the hospital where injured soldiers were being treated. He commended them for their bravery while commiserating with the families of the fallen heroes.

Buhari, increase the salary of soldiers and better their other welfare. You were once a soldier can't you do something for your colleagues. In what other way can you boost the morale of soldiers if not welfare. You increase the salary and benefits of the police why can't you extend the same for these guys who have been battling the well equipped Boko Haram. Is it not shameful that insurgents are better armed than the army, and when soldiers complain it becomes mutiny and insubordination rather than addressing the fact. Where are we heading to? One day Nigerians will wake up and would be surrounded by enemies because we are not security conscious and those who have volunteered are not taken care of. Even those who are retired, their little pension are being tampered with by the personnel of the pay office. Is it crime to serve in the Nigerian military. Something one should be proud of turns to regret.
Mr. President, do something for the soldiers and military pensioners, make them proud, commending them for their bravery can not boost morale but cause regret of serving in the Nigerian military. Let the labour of our heroes not be in vain. God bless you.
