Hi guys, this is Ifeanyi Oseh, popular known as Fly G by his comrades. He was killed on Saturday as his unit fought Boko Haram.

I’ve been scared and in tears and let me tell you why. Thread! ?

On my way home from work, I saw a post a mutual friend did talking about his demise and immediately went into panic mode, an experience I’ve been having whenever I see stories of dead Nigerian soldiers & since my friend from my Boys Scout days was sent to the war front. I digress.

These were Ifeanyi’s chats on his way to the war front. Read the last one. ???

Back to my friend. After seeing the posts about Ifeanyi, I immediately reached out to my friend serving in NE out of panic because I knew he was in the same unit with Ifeanyi.

And this is our conversation.

After that he video called cuz he said military intelligence tracks these things & the hierarchy are looking for soldiers to use as scape goats.

I begged him to abscond, he should remember the plans we made as kids, plus I won’t forgive myself if anything happens to him.

He laughed it off and in his words “it is what he signed up for”. He told me there are soldiers that have been in the war front since the war started, that we have no idea of the casualty figures the government intentionally hides, the harsh weather and environment, low pay, etc.

There’s a lot he told me that I can’t remember cuz I spent the entire time sobbing. Which country sends its best to be slaughtered by a better paid, better equipped, better trained with higher morale terrorist group? Why are those in power playing ludo with the people’s lives?

He said all they need now is prayers, cuz what we do as civilians is get angry for 24 hours when a soldier posts a disturbing video from the frontline. He said: “Harri, you’ll be eating rice & chicken tomorrow in peace, only cuz I’m down here getting shot at.” Fam, that broke me.

I really suck at this thread thing, but is there not something that we can do? These guys dying for a country that doesn’t give a shit about them are people’s friends, brothers, fathers, sons, etc. There’s surely much more that can be done than our short term online anger right?

These pics were taken 30 minutes before a bullet fell the handsome Ifeanyi. We cant keep sending our best to be slaughtered, unequipped, unmotivated, underpaid, while an obese idiot is seating in an air conditioned office, profiting from these deaths. It just doesn’t make sense.

  3. It’s high guys took the law into their ✋ and stop going for recruitment into any of the Nigerian force, Nigeria is a country that can keep the peace in other countries of the world but can’t eliminate a terrorist group in their own country. If their are no more youths going for recruitment, there will be n more life’s to gamble with, maybe at that time, they will go to the war front their selves. But the question is will our young youths be wise or will they just continue to kill their selves in the name of job or becoming rugged, now that’s a big

  4. I’ve been begging my friend who also is a soldier currently serving at the north east (Maiduguri) to be precise; usually you can’t call them except if they did so. We actually lost communication for over 4 months due to some reasons I myself don’t know about but the thing is that he is fed up with the job. I’ve been on his neck for him to quite the job but he told me he that and I quote “if to say I fit get like 3m now like this walahi I for stop the work”, this guy was a graphics designer before joining the Nigerian army. What am saying here is that so many of those soldiers out there wouldn’t mind quitting the job, but what will they come back and start doing? Na we dia fellow Nigerians go still laugh them even if them run because no be all of them get any better plans put for ground. #GodblessNigeria #GodblessYabaleftOnlineFamily

  6. Since our soldiers is aware of the criminal act going on in asorock,I advise they should take fight to our leaders, let them call a meeting generally and waste them,let new leadership begin

  10. Let God lead,good protect my dad my friends who are in the Northeast..good should protect and keep them all..

  11. @Daniel, u re nt gettn ur frnds message straight. ur frnd asking for 3 million b4 he quits dosent need the money to go start up a business after he quits the army. He needs the money to help him quit nd save his life. U think it’s easy to quit military after Uv signed up nd sworn the oath? That 3 million is the money it’ll probably take him to bribe higher officers nd maybe fake his death, evade camp nd go hide smwhr for a while b4 he resurfaces. Or u think he can just wake up one morning in Maiduguri nd tell his commanding officer that he wants to quit nd go home, then they’ll give him bus fare home, open the camp gate nd let him go home???? Every one of them in camp are being monitored nd accounted for. Let’s stop typing rip on posts like this and start making movements. Rip no help anybody. Pray for the dead in ur heart, say rip in ur hearts. Ur comments here should be the way forward. Ur frnd or relative or u may be next.
