News broke that ISWAP terrorists killed Brigadier General Uba — a chilling moment that shocked Nigerians, especially since something this severe hasn’t happened in the 15 years of insurgency. As people processed the gravity of the situation, one alarming comment surfaced: “Every right-thinking soldier should resign from the Nigeria Army. It’s totally not worth it.”
This kind of reaction, while emotionally charged, is incredibly dangerous. It discourages service members who are already risking their lives, and it fuels fear instead of supporting solutions. Telling soldiers to resign only weakens national security and hands victory to the terrorists.
It’s okay to be angry, scared, or frustrated — the country is grieving. But encouraging mass resignation at a time like this does nothing but worsen morale and undermine the fight against violent groups. Soldiers need support, not calls for abandonment.
