In an emotional social media post, a young Nigerian woman shared her unexpected encounter with a female soldier at a military barracks, describing a tough lesson in discipline after she unknowingly broke protocol.
The lady, identified on X as @HMolayo, recounted how answering a call from her mother while standing at the barrack's gate led to an intense series of disciplinary actions.
According to @HMolayo, she was unaware that taking calls at the gate was prohibited. Upon seeing this, a female soldier confronted her, instructing her to pick up litter from the checkpoint to the gate as a form of punishment.
As she complied, the soldier further disciplined her, citing that her demeanor appeared defiant.
"I picked my mum’s call at the barrack’s gate, I didn’t know it was wrong," she shared. "They asked me to pick [litter] from the checking point to the gate, I did. She told me to stop and dispose [of] the items I picked up, only to tell me to pick another area because I showed ‘emotions.'”
The soldier continued to impose tasks on her, even as the skies threatened rain. At one point, the female soldier nearly slapped her, saying she found her attitude stubborn.
Finally, a male superior intervened, bringing an end to her ordeal.
The story took a surprising twist when he reportedly joked that he would marry her and insisted she not ignore his calls.
Reflecting on the encounter, @HMolayo humorously concluded that “female soldiers are not from this planet.”
Her story has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some users sympathizing with her experience and others commending the soldier’s dedication to discipline.
