The pre-wedding photo shoot of a young civilian and female soldier that came out yesterday on the internet has got a lot of attention and criticism.
The man was pictured doing a press up while the lady was with a wipe as though the man was being punished.
Some people said it was a creative art and some others believe that it was not creative enough, since it was a pre-wedding shoot, i=there should be an act of romance and not the other way round.
Nigerian comedian Bovi who saw the picture did not keep quiet about it as he wrote in his social media platform saying”I saw this picture and a few others on the blogs today. It was reported as a pre-wedding photoshoot and the characters involved are supposedly an intending couple. Many have hailed it as creative and that just lacerates my heart because it’s obvious we as a people have eventually accepted as normal that which is absolutely abnormal. A soldier, no matter the posting is ultimately trained for combat. They are programmed for battle. In brighter climes, you will never see a soldier in public.
“ They’re either in the barracks or the war front. I’m suppressing the urge to compare and contrast so I will just ask some questions. Is a soldier supposed to hold a gun or a stick? Is a soldier meant to punish a civilian? Is a soldier meant to assault? Is a soldier meant to obey traffic laws? Is a soldier meant to seize camouflage apparel worn by civilians? Is a soldier above the law? I beg to be informed. Help wipe off my ignorance. I wish the couple a happy union ! And shout out to the true soldiers out there defending the existence of Nigeria with their lives and the fine office”
