"Cheer Agba is a Nigerian soldier, my friend and model. He's been at the war-front, war-middle and war-back. Yet, he is more Nigerian than I am. He made the greatest sacrifice but will thank me for the little efforts I make. He is another man from the bottom that reinforces my belief in a better and greater nation.
Cheer is that brilliant soldier that changed my perception of our military. You can neither beat him in sense nor syntax. Oga Cheer, I don't care where you are from. I never asked you that question. If I find myself in the habit of the Nigerian military, you are the prime factor. If all Christians live the life like you live your military life, the world will know less crime. I am a Nigerian because folks like you give me hope. Forward ever big brother. You are my hero, my hero and my hero. God bless your root and family.
Every day we end up cursing our leaders and naming our problems after the living and the dead. But, we go to work late, litter the streets with water sachets/cans, make life unbearable for others, take bribes to perform our duties, field incompetent folks into offices, leave the office early, pray half of the work hours, disturb the neighborhood in the guise of prayers and ignore all the oversights of humanity. After all these, we take to the social media to examine the budget of corruption. And you don't know your name? Hypocrite.
Today, Cheer I know, who are you? Be like Cheer. He is not teaching his brother, cousin or relation. Cheer is teaching Hausa kids and potential enemies. Cheer is living humanity not ethnicity. I have not asked you to belong to nobody. Just see beyond the horizon. Change your family, neighborhood and community. Good nations don't just come to be, good people make good nations....”
