Nigerian rapper, Panshak Zamani, popularly known as Ice Prince, has recounted an emotional visit to Nigerian soldiers receiving treatment at the Military Hospital in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Speaking in an interview shared online, the rapper said the experience was heartbreaking, noting that anyone who visits the military hospital in Maiduguri would be moved to tears.
According to Ice Prince, he spent time with several officers of the Nigerian military who were hospitalised with gunshot wounds and other serious injuries.
He described their experiences as deep and difficult to comprehend, hailing them as real-life heroes who risk their lives daily to protect others and maintain peace.
The rapper added that many of the injured soldiers were young men who could have easily pursued careers in entertainment or other professions but instead chose to serve humanity at great personal risk.
Despite their pain, he said they remained cheerful, smiling and cracking jokes while awaiting full recovery, not to quit, but to return to the battlefield.
Sharing his experience, Ice Prince said, “I paid a very visit to Nigeria military hospital in Maiduguri in Borno State, in fact, sharing the story is making me cry.You have to shed tears if you go the military hospital in Maiduguri. If you see soldiers, I’m not talking about seven of few soldiers, containing about 50 injured soldiers.”
He further described the soldiers as true heroes, adding, “That’s a Super Hero in my book. God bless the Military #NigerianMilitary.”
Ice Prince’s visit has since drawn praise online, with many commending him for recognising the sacrifices of Nigerian soldiers serving in conflict zones.

@Herbmer reacted, “That’s a military hospital that was supposed to be world-class, especially after global intervention in the state due to Boko Haram. Yet, they still lack good hospitals—let alone a proper military hospital.”
