There are some bloody battles we fought in 2014 and there are some dangerous risk I took which aren't normal.
All for Nigeria and all thanks to my prayer warriors.
Calls from different places because our own troops have been over ran and BHT took over the ... 1
Location, initially it was hidden nobody wanted saying they were over ran to avoid panicking from own troops going for recapture.
But when I saw some Soldiers from different formations and unit and there are underground talks of the same incident.
There's no smoke ... 2
Without fire when it comes to Soldiers.
Address as usual.
Gbam, the rumour was true we are going to Kangarwa and they've been dislodged.
If there's nobody in Kangarwa then 3 if the most important locations in Lake Chad are in serious trouble.
One is the whole Baga and ... 3
Its environs, because Kangarwa is like blockage to Baga bordering the two towns, where they can move freely, mobilise and move freely to launch serious attacks.
Then Malam-Fatori which is the closest to Kangarwa.
Funny how there was a certain period where for good ... 4
12-13 days BHT kept bringing attacks non stop to us in Malam-Fatori because Kangarwa was empty, the only closest location to us was Baga which was about almost 70km.
We have to face reality and stand out ground, Nigeria is ours we have no where to run to, we must stand ... 5
Fight and if it warrant us to die we will gladly do it for our Fatherland.
We have to do and we must definitely do it, because in the Army there's no IMPOSSIBILITY.
You fight and fight and fight.
It get to a stage if I don't see attack for 3 days i will go inside ... 6
The bush on my own hunt for Antelope or even bird to shoot to keep me thinking straight again 😌
Now the tough task began where I face God, human and my own faith close to my heart.
We got to Doron Naira, the bloodiest of Ambush, firing for hours, the first ... 7
2 tanks entered and gbam the worse happened.
Our tank moved ahead and we saw it in reality we are the only ones fighting in front as the other vehicles are pinned down behind.
Then I saw from the top of our tank, a convoy of about 20 tanks and gun truck coming.
Before ... 8
I could turn and see them because we are already facing the direction with the most fire, exchanging duels.
Then I heard a loud shout from the driver, I couldn't check because the firing was out of this world.
Before I could ash down, change my box of ammo, our driver ... 9
Was missing.
Aaah, today is the day, GOD.
Over thousands of thought ran through my mind, should I just kill myself before they capture me alive or I should continue fighting, but even if I keep firing now this is the last ammo.
I just say my last prayer, GOD see me ... 10
Through as I can't do this alone.
We are fighting for the peace of our dear nation, show your face now if truly I am your son.
GOD did not show his face I was mad, I was weak and I was already dead.
See them still coming like bee in different convoy.
I picked up ... 11
My support weapon, wanted blowing my up, because if this people capture me alive it will even be worse.
Then it came down to reality, they already surrounded our tank.
I was left alone, I already say my last prayer.
We all live to die some day, the only person I will ... 12
Miss the most was my mother, at that period you don't think if anything good again in life, death is close to you.
I was whisked away.
I will tell the story of how GOD came through after 23 days in captivity soon.
Firing was going on for hours from close ranger to the tank, if you know MTLB tank you will know how strong and vibrant it is when it comes to adaptability and durability if well serviced.
I was in there thinking, so many things running through my mind, but one thing is ...

Will kill me, I was watching over some of the young chaps who are training to be commanders also.
They are living a full life inside that bush, eating balanced diet.
I never drank normal sachet water for day, only Faro water.
The commanders with their wives and even side ...
Hubbies inside that bush.
They noticed I wasn't panicking anymore, they have ne the free hand to do whatever I want, and Ike if them told me since I can teach and know much about weapons I wokt be going for attack but teach their wards, basic techniques and ...
Let me breakdown something most of you don't know.
In Borno state, there's no way Nigeria can cover the whole border.
If you worked in majority of those terrain you will understand.
For Instance.
There's no way you can cover the whole Abadam axis I will still find ... 1
My way out of Nigeria to Maiduguri.
There's no way you can cover the Tumbus, Kwatan or Dabans, I will definitely still find my way to Chad.
There's no way you can cover Bama, Gwoza, down to Gamboru, I will still find my way to Cameroon.
And so on.
Majority don't even ... 2
Know the terrain but are always quick to criticize the Military.
Funny how even if you want to do proper deployment, the total number Military can't cover Lake Chad axis alone talk more of other part of Borno state and North East at large.
After the Gwoza operation there comes another deadly one ALAGARNO.
Don't ever joke with that axis.
That's one location where I see the other side of my Anti Aircraft gun, it became so red that i was even scared after firing for several hours.
The last time i ... 1
Experience such was with my GPMG.
Few days after the Gwoza operation and few weeks after my death of my brother.
GOC came, gentlemen Weldon job, we are Soldiers and we can't get tired. Nigeria is proud of you, the coas is proud of you and the CinC is proud of your ... 2
Heroics.
Me to myself, I am not proud of anything as I just lost my brother.
Our 2i/c came to cheer me up, xox you don't smoke I would have give you what will high you now, and you don't I would have give you what will increase your gear you up😁
