A Nigerian soldier, Hamza Buba, has left moving words for his family and Nigerians.
Buba was said to have been killed during a recent battle with the Boko Haram.
Waxing philosophically and poetically, he wrote:
“If l die in a war zone, box me up and send me home. Put my medals on my chest, tell my mom l did my best. Tell my dad not to bow, he won’t get tension from me now. Tell my bro to study perfectly, key of my car will be his permanently. Tell my sister not to be upset, her bro will take a long sleep after sunset. Tell my nation not to cry, because l am a soldier born to die, but never to be forgotten”.
