Our Gallant Military…….Nigerians are Grateful to YOU
We are Proud of YOU
Our Soldiers, Our Pride
You Are Standing for Us in These Hours of Need
You Lay Down Your Lives to Keep Us Safe
You Braved the Sun
You Braved the Rain
You Ran into Ambushes….We Must Remember Late Col Abu-Ali, the Sarkin Yaki 1, the Fearless CO extra-ordinary Who Failed to the Ambush of Boko Haram
….and ALL Our Gallant Fallen Heroes Who Laid Down Their Lives to Keep Us Safe.
You Crossed Difficult Terrains
…Often Times Without Food and Water.
You Were Denied Sleep
Often Moving in Hard Boots and Symbolic Uniforms In Unfriendly and Rocky Terrains.
…….All to Keep Us Safe
From Boko Haram to Bandits, to Secessionists
From Anarchists to Terrorists… …..You Dealt With Them All
You Stood Firm to Safeguard the Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Nigeria
That’s Your Constitutional Responsibility…. Which You are Discharging Successfully.
The Task of Keeping Nigeria One Must Be Achieved.
UnBoko Haramable
UnIPOBLE
UnBanditable
UnAnsarurable
UnLakurawable
UnMahmudable
UnISWAPABLE
InDivisible
InDissoluble
UnIntimidatable
Unharrasable
UnGaggable
That’s Nigeria
Nigeria Must Remain One Nation… It is for Our Common Good
If NOT for your GALLANTRY, our Dear Nigeria Will NOT be Standing Today
From 1970 When You Dealt With the Biafra Secessionists and Forced them to Surrender Unconditionally
……To the Present Day When You Continue to Decimate the Bandits and Terrorists
……To Your Heroics Against Boko Haram.
You Stopped the March of the Boko haram else Borno and Yobe would have been history……
….In the first instance
You made the so-called sit-at-homers in the South East think again.
The secessionists claim to be fighting for a so-called Biafra
…But their commercial motive is gradually unveiling
The Only Destination for Our Gallant Military is VICTORY
The Terrorists Can’t Win Us.
Bandits Fulani Militia Cannot Win
IPOB Cannot Win
Boko Haram Cannot Win
Lakurawa Cannot Win
Mahmudawa Cannot Win
ISWAP Cannot Win
Ansaru Cannot Win
There is Only ONE Winner: THE NIGERIAN MILITARY
The SAHEL is Burning With Violent Extremism.
From Libya to Mail to Niger Republic to Cameroon to Chad, the Entire Stretch is Burning With Violence
….But Nigerians are Certain that Our Gallant Military is Up to the Task
Not Just Us, You Brought Peace to Liberia, Sudan, Sierra Leone to Mention but a Few.
We Are Forever Grateful to You Our Gallant Military,
Your Sacrifice is the Glue that Keeps Nigeria.
You Protect Our Constitution, Our Democracy
….and Our Common Nigerianness.
You and Your Families Must Be Commended for The Sacrifice.
A Grateful Nigeria Can Only Say THANK YOU.
Our Military….Continue to Remain Focused
Never be distracted by Anti-Democratic Forces
Continue to Protect Our Constitution.. and Our Nation.
To the ‘Bloody Civilians’ the Citizens, Continue to Believe in One Nigeria.
Never be Disracted by Rogue Politicians Who’s Stock-In-Trade is Self-Aggrandisement and Corruption.
The Labour of Our Heroes Past and Present SHALL Never Be in Vain.
Nigeria Shall Overcome.
This POEM is in Honour of our Gallant NIGERIAN MILITARY Who Are Fighting All Manner of Terrorists to Keep Us Safe.
