A group of Nigerian soldiers has taken to social media to express deep frustration over the shocking food rations provided for nine troops deployed on a one-month mission.
In the now-viral video, one of the soldiers displayed the meager food items allotted to them, revealing that they were given only five fish to last nine men for an entire month.
He further revealed that the rations include just one paint bucket each of beans and garri, four pieces of yam, one litre of palm oil, 10kg of semovita, a medium-sized bag of rice, a few onions, and other limited items — all meant to sustain the entire team for 30 days.
Shockingly, the soldier also disclosed that ₦60,000 was collected from each of them, supposedly for feeding — yet this was the food supply they were given. This revelation has intensified public anger, with many questioning how funds meant for soldiers’ welfare are truly being spent.
The video has since gone viral, sparking outrage and concern among Nigerians online.
