Soldiers dey suffer – Skales reacts to call for youths to join the military

Afrobeat sensation, SKALES has reacted to the call for Nigerian youths to join the Nigerian Army, saying ”soldiers dey suffer’

He reacted on X, after concerned groups and individuals appealed publicly to youths to join the Army following a growing lack of interest among them.

Skales is of the opinion that, Ngeria never honours her heroes and again, they do not pay well.

He wrote; “Nigeria don’t honor its hero’s and them dey ask you to join soldier … meanwhile soldiers dey suffer lol.”

His post however earned him a little backlash, with one X user cautioning him against discouraging others.

The X user @kheeng_diamond tackled him thus;

“You don’t want to serve the country and you are also discouraging those that want to? Stop viewing reality from your own perspective alone.”

Reacting, Skales wrote, “lol I’m representing my country with music na … how much dem dey pay soldier again wey dey risk their live for all of us? Go join na.”
