My dad in the North East of Nigeria 🇳🇬 during the insurgency

Being a soldier comes with lots of responsibilities including risking your life out there to save people even without knowing their name.
The story or event behind this picture is really interesting.

Growing up as a child i never had the opportunity to know my dad very well because he is not always at home he is always moving from one duty post to another due to the nature of his work.
As a Nigerian we all know about the insurgency that we have been facing in the north east of the country who are popularly known as the Boko Haram this people have killed innocent souls and also they are responsible for the deaths of some of our soldiers.

This group of terrorist have been destroying people, land and their properties.

In 2021 My dad was send to the North East of the country in Maiduguri for peace keeping and also calm the situation down.
My dad faces several attack from their enemies and by the grace of God in all the attacks my dad and his troops always comes victorious.
In that area you cannot call my dad because of the network situation, he is the only one that can call you.

So they was a time that they went for an operation In in different location and they was no network coverage in that area, for that reason we stayed for about 3 months without hearing from our dad we we became afraid of loosing him because that place is not safe at all we kept hoping in God and praying for the life of my dad.
Behold one faithful day my mum just saw a call on her phone and it was my dad that was calling, we became happy and excited.

That place was a living hell for my dad, because there's no good water to drink to good food eat they really suffered infact if you see where they are living you will have pity for them.
Thanks be to God my dad have successfully finished his duty in the North East and he is safely back with us his family and we thank God for everything.

This is me and my beautiful mum this picture always remind me of the good time that I have spent with my lovely mother and also the memories that we have shared together.

The event behind me taking this picture was when I was traveling to portharcourt to go and stay with my aunt, since I was born I haven't left my parents house and that was the first time I was going to stay without my mum and it was very emotional for me.
My mum is everything to me and I really love her, my prayers for her is that she lives long to enjoy the fruit of her labour.

Each time I look at the picture it always remind me about her and also about that memorable day that I had.

Going into portharcourt I never believed that I will go into a ship for work.
When I arrive at portharcourt I started learning work from my aunt husband and I was learning very well and enjoying every day that I spent there because I was treated very well by everyone.

So one day my aunt husband took us in his car to go and work in a ship at onne portharcourt, when I heard that we are going to work inside a ship I was very happy and excited because I have been hearing lots of beautiful things about ship so I was very happy going there to see it for myself.

When we arrived we saw European men who are working in the ship and before we even started work, they offered us food to eat and the meal was very delicious i enjoyed it really well and to add to it they told us to serve ourselves that made it more enjoyable for everyone and most especially for me because I really had fun.

After we finish our work there they took us to the dinning and gave us some snacks to eat, they still gave us enough money for the work we did for them.
I was very happy because i was able to see how a ship looks like both inside and outside I really enjoyed myself so I decided to take a picture of myself so as to always remember that memorable day.
