Young Nigerian Woman Recounts Disciplinary Encounter with Female Soldier over Phone Call at Barrack’s Gate
In a story that has garnered attention on social media, a young Nigerian woman, identified as @HMolayo on X (formerly Twitter), shared an intense encounter with a female soldier at a military barracks, detailing how she was reprimanded and disciplined for answering a phone call at the gate.
According to @HMolayo’s account, the incident began when she received a call from her mother upon reaching the barrack’s gate, unaware that it was against protocol to answer calls there.
Her action was quickly noticed by a female soldier, who ordered her to pick up litter from the checkpoint to the gate as a form of discipline.
In her narration, @HMolayo expressed how she thought the ordeal would end after she completed the assigned task, but the soldier felt she had shown “emotions” and ordered her to start again on a different part of the area.
“She asked me to stop, I disposed of the stuff I picked, only for her to tell me to pick another part because I showed emotions,” she recounted, emphasizing the emotional toll of the situation.
Her account revealed further frustration when the soldier reprimanded her for not saying “thank you” after completing the second task.
As she continued the punishment, it began to rain, and the soldier allegedly accused her of being stubborn. The incident reached a turning point when a senior male officer intervened, sympathizing with her plight.
He took her contact information and jokingly stated, “It’s a must he marries me so I must not ignore his calls,” lightening the tense atmosphere.
The story has sparked a conversation on social media, with many expressing a mix of empathy and humor about the strict protocols enforced within the military environment.
