The 34yo originally hails from Osun State

The U.S. Navy on Saturday identified the Sailor lost overboard from USS Mason (DDG 87) while operating in the Red Sea, March 20.

Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Oriola Michael Aregbesola, assigned to the “Swamp Foxes” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 74, was deployed with a detachment aboard Mason, which has been operating in the U.S. 5th Fleet since November.

Aregbesola, of Florida, joined the Navy in July 2020. He reported to HSM-74 in December 2020.

“Petty Officer Aregbesola fully embodied the selfless character and thoughtful warrior spirit of the United States Navy Sailor,” said Cmdr. Eric Kohut, HSM-74 commanding officer. “His outstanding performance prior to and during deployment went well beyond aircraft maintenance; he truly saw and valued every member of the ship/air team. He will continue on in the heart of every Swamp Fox and our brothers and sisters in the IKE Carrier Strike Group. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

Mason and HSM-74 are part of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and currently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

I was jobless for so many years, my country of birth (Nigeria, now renounced) failed me, but the US NAVY saw potentials in me and made me a fine a*s sailor, working on jet engines.

U.S.A killed him.

Ok

What a pity, greener pasture turn to grave yard. May we continue to enjoy the protection of God over all that pertains to us.

Grow up
If Nigeria had given him a job he wouldn't have gone to U.S in the first place.
Nigeria failed him!

Rip bros... At least you died fulfilled.... Jst like u said, over here if u want to join d military, you'll have to know someone who knows someone... Seriously it's really frustrating to be jobless in Nigeria....

Most times Sha na we dey contribute to all dis things my mind breaks when I see people pay bribe for ordinary nysc state posting and most times the parents are even aware, so if you'll pay money to get a juicy PPA, you'll definitely pay bribe to get a juicy government job... And when something bad happens you'll turn around and say Nigeria happened to you or 9ja failed you...

I'm a proud Nigerian though, and I'll never talk down on my country, especially when I'm in another country.... We go get am right one day... And 9ja go better

Chaii

IRP to the dead

Did he lie?

Rip soldier

Sorry bro.... Nigeria failed you...
I have never seen a foreigner join Nigeria army yet we join theirs and even have to die for them

Rip to him.

Death can come to a person anywhere. As long as you are under this earth and breathing the same air with others, when death finds you, he'll take you with him.

Please never denigrate your country when you find your feet outside of your country. There are people who are doing very well in the same country.

Peace✌️

May his soul rest in peace
