A soldier identified as Sammy fighting Boko Haram took to Facebook to
share how he survived Boko Haram attack on the eve of
Christmas.According to him,his wrist got dislocated during the attack.He
wrote…
‘This is one of the most AMAZING CHRISTMAS I ever had!
We fought through 23rd to 24th which happen to be Christmas eve and last
night the war got so hot that we have to withdraw and leave the camp to
the enemies cuz they where toooo many and were trying to round us up to
the center (ask my bestie FAITH MICHAEL, SHE WAS IN A WHATSAPP CALL
WITH ME WHEN IT ALL STARTED AND SHE HEARD MOST OF THE GUN FIRE and
BOMBARDMENTS). Right now my wrist is dislocated and I’m feeling sick. We
slept in the cold bush as we watch the boko haram burned down our camp
again for the 3rd time in two months. Taday, none among us even
remembered it’s Christmas until a Fulani man came by and said HAFI
KRISMAS SOJOJI! And Instead of saying “same to u baba” we all burst out
laughing out loud and some cried cuz none of us even remembered it’s
Christmas,comon, it doesn’t even look like Christmas here! and that was
the only time we laughed today.and after the laughter we all went silent
as we sobber deep within ourselves and recount the number of times God
saved us from our enemies. The very reason He kept us alive to see this
day. I thought about many things,the way it would have been if I am
among the ones dead last night. How my family will feel loosing a son
few hours to Christmas. My thoughts were so deep that even tears rolled
down my check and all I keep saying from then is THANK U JESUS FOR NOT
BRINGING ANY TRAGEDY TO MY FAMILY. Meanwhile, I’m still looking round
maybe I’ll find a bush rat to kill to at least cover up for this
Christmas flexing I’m missing out (gat to make myself happy no matter
the condition, u know). I WANNA WISH U ALL OUT THERE A WONDERFUL MERRY
CHRISTMAS AND A PEACEFUL NEW YEAR AHEAD!!! But pls, bring meat and chin
chin to me here oooooo.lol.AND DON’T STOP PRAYING FOR US ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF A PEACEFUL WORLD’
