An unconfirmed number of soldiers from the Myoung Barracks, Yaba in Lagos State, are feared dead and others injured after a suspected drunk driver rammed his vehicle into them during a route march – a physical training exercise on Friday morning.

According to reports, the incident has thrown the military community into panic.
An eyewitness quoted a soldier as saying, “There’s blood everywhere. I was spared because I was at the back.”

The soldier (name withheld) narrated that the vehicle had three young men suspected to be internet fraudsters, notoriously called ‘Yahoo Boys’.

Crazy! crazy! crazy!
Condolences to the Families of the Soldiers.


After all is Said and Done!
The Breath in you and I is not in our Power.
One moment one is alive. The next Moment one is gone.

There is really no big deal in Death as this World is not our Home.
The BIG DEAL is to Depart this Earth without JESUS CHRIST. That is Straight to Hell .
It is The Greatest Error that can happen to anyone.


Live this Life in the Conciousness of your Eternity. Live Prepared.
Now is the ACCEPTABLE TIME.
Make Peace with JESUS CHRIST. .

Why do we rush to ascertain the cause of actions without proper investigation, what if its a terrorist attack?

This is the attitude of the average Nigerian youth.

Scam people and use the the money to chase women and drink to stupor. Then become broke and start looking for more people to scam.

In saner climes you don't see soldiers outside the barracks. Unknown soldiers, please stay in your barracks.
