A tragic post shared a soldier’s final message about resigning due to mass deaths in his unit. Amid the grief, another user commented a jury-convicting narrative: “I know lots of people that ran away from the Army. Till now, the Nigerian Army no fit account for them if they still dey alive. That FCMB loan really helped soldiers, na why they stopped it.”
This brings institutions like the Nigerian Army and FCMB into sharp distrust. While troop welfare and data transparency deserve scrutiny, presenting assumptions as fact without proof spreads misinformation and deepens anxiety for military families. Policy changes on soldier welfare—like loan suspensions—should be questioned with evidence, not rumors. Compassion and accountability must coexist, but truth must lead the fight. When grief becomes a free market for claims, society loses both its heroes and its humanity.
