GeneralFarouq:

GeneralFarouq:

That is not entirely true
Is this a joke
Some of his stories are accompanied eith emotions and exaggerations which makes it difficult to distinguish it from what actually happened and his is percieved happennings.

Emotions? Baba i am an Igbo dude with no sympathy towards these bloody Islamic terrorists. On March 2018 i lost one of my very good friend in Rann who i grew up with in Benue. Dude that gave me some cash to do some shopping for him in Maiduguri only to receive the news same day i left him that he was shot in the forehead by these bloody terrorist leaving his lovely little two kids behind.

I don't argue with peeps who don't stay in the Northeast . Living in the Northeast field locations will give you the real situation details not someone sleeping on his bed in Ojota and assuming what is happening here. Many stories never get into the media mainstream bro If i ever leave the Northeast alive i am going to definitely write my own part of this Insurgency story.

Whenever you are ready visit the Northeast and i will host you in Maiduguri even tho my new location is now one of the biggest towns in Borno Central.

Happy New Month

Painful Exit of Lt. Col Aerman Abraham Gbileve

By

Samuel Aruwan

There is a popular misconception that the young ones are mostly unethical, undisciplined and materialistic. I have come to disagree with that generalization, because from the newsroom in the media where I belong and the public service space I currently occupy, as well as other spheres I have been in and still operate in, I have come across hard working young men and women who are reformists and are making things happen.

These young men and women with dreams and aspirations are seriously minded people pursuing their careers with hard work, dedication, excellence and their eyes constantly on the ball.

It is in this sojourn of life, that I crossed paths with my brother Lt. Col. Aerman Abraham Gbileve, who answered the glorious call last week and left us in pain, anguish and shock.

Gbileve was a disciplined officer, cool headed and easy going with his soft spoken mien and the grace of God that we all carry as mortals. His devotion to his calling was limitless. In a nutshell, Gbileve was an outstanding military officer with great potential and on a sure trajectory to the peak of his military career, which death cut short in his prime.

Our paths crossed when he resumed at the One Division Kaduna as the Commanding Officer covering the Birnin Gwari general area. His predecessor linked us up, and we began interacting and working against banditry in the four frontline local government areas of Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi and Chikun.

In the months that followed, we worked together in various engagements in those frontline areas to great effect, thanks in large part to his unique dedication.

My last outing with Gbileve was at the usual security-community engagement at Sabon Birni, Igabi LGA where we met with traditional rulers, community and religious leaders from Bunu, Ifira, Pauta, Riyawa, Rima, Afaka and Sabon Birni.

We had a good outing; the Garrison Commander, Brig-General Olusegun Abai was the lead speaker, and he appealed for support and information to consolidate the gains against bandits. I served as the interpreter and reiterated the need to deepen the support Brig-General Abai had appealed for. I went further to say security agencies, governments and communities must work together against the looming food insecurity.

I also commended them for divorcing banditry from religion and ethnicity, and viewing it as the sheer criminality that it is, with narrow sentiments taken off the table. We posited firmly that those weaving narratives around religion, ethnicity and politics would only undermine the battle against bandits, and unwittingly provide a survival corridor for the criminals.

It was a productive outing. Gbileve pulled all the stops on his own end to ensure that our engagement was smooth and seamless. We were all happy, and on our way to Kaduna, we both agreed that our next spots would be Dogon Dawa in Birnin Gwari local government and also Kidandan general area of Giwa local government.

Unfortunately, we rescheduled the events due to the the joint military operations in the locations and opted for Kajuru local government area where we are still battling, albeit with great optimism.

A few days after our Sabon Birni engagement, I got a call from Gbileve. We talked and made plans as usual, but unknown to us it was our last conversation before the sad news would arrive to devastate us and throw us into deep mourning.

Gbileve was a gentleman, an officer to the core, a soldier full of humility and dedication to duty and motherland. He was disciplined, professional and a man full of ideas but also respectful to his superiors and all he encountered in the course of his duty. He was liked and sought for by all and sundry and praised for his doggedness and courage in the frontlines.

Gbileve’s demise is really heartbreaking, but ultimately it is accepted as an act of God. A soldier who worked around the the hotbeds of the Northeast unscathed, full of life is now called home by death, and has answered the glorious call.

While we mourn and reminisce on Gbileve, we may not know why it happened this way. However, we cannot question God. It is clearly a sad story but God knows best.

The Kaduna State Government appreciates all he did for security and peace of the State. His sacrifices will be long remembered as he has left an indelible mark.

Our deep condolences go to his immediate family, parents, and the entire Nigerian Army family. May God in his infinite mercy grant Gbileve eternal rest.

Aruwan, is the Commissioner, Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.

So painful, I heard he was killed in an accident.

You’ll better stop deceiving yourself !

SiriusBlack has paid is dues in the frontlines. His been transferred way back!

Odunayaw:
I am sure you don't wait for "overriding positivity" in your life before you give thanks

komekn:


How exactly am l deceiving myself.


SiruisBlack did say at the time that the powers that be frowned at his involvement on this forum.
That effectively silences him.

We live in a society if you don't join the sycophantic praise singers Hallelujah choir of the establishment military or civilian you are classed and perceived an enemy of the state.

I didn’t want to reply your comment here but you’ve been one of the old contributors on most military threads that I know. I believe we all know and read a lot about the dark days when BHT took over 70% of Borno state.
Dude your comments are far from been constructive !

komekn:


Giving thanks is an act of faith and appreciation to God. Which l do by deed and thought.

komekn:



Those were indeed dark days.

[/b]And do you think the security situation in Nigeria has improved holistically speaking.[b]

bidexiii:


I can tell you it has greatly improved
Your moniker who claimed his giving authentic news from Borno state, back in days during the dark days 2010 - 2015 you don’t dare to go to some L.G.A it was like signing your own death wish.
Only Maiduguri/MMC and Bama was the saddest. Your acclaimed moniker would not be able to work in Borno back then. We guys in S-W, and S-E wouldn’t appreciate the peace we have, people in the N.E and troubled southern kaduna, sokoto & Zamfara would appreciate it better.

bidex111:
Maj Gen VO Ezugwu: then Acting G.O.C. Doc 7. literally he opened the gate of hell on terrorists after hearing the death of Lt Col Abu Ali. Was physically present coordinating the onslaught against BHT.
The 2 star general was with is personnel riffle.

SamuelAnyawu:


Oga Have I ever discredited the dark days? When just Maiduguri and Biu were the towns standing tall? Even some areas in Maiduguri were no go areas self.
Nawa oh. Have you ever seen me discrediting soldiers in the trench? My attack has always been on the Federal Government and top Military brats.

Is it a crime that i came to Borno state and have been seeing with my very eyes what is happening here in Borno.

Good Night fellas I just received a sad news that ISWAP abducted 3 Soldiers and two Humanitarian workers today along Monguno- Maiduguri road today.
Yesterday ISWAP killed two civilians on that same highway with no media reporting it.

Later

bidexiii:


Never said you discredited soldiers and you would not even appreciate the little peace you enjoy now!!!
You and your fellow monikers claiming you’re attacking the top military “brats and the federal government”, where are you guys years ago when the army ass was whooped and all the chiefs where just after looting !
Most of you guys kept quiet

SamuelAnyawu:


So because there was an era when Boko controlled 25 LGAs, I should keep quiet when I see the incompetence of the Government.

So if soldiers now die in numbers I should tell their families to take heart that it was worse in the dark days? That they should thank Buratai that it is far better now than 2015?

LTGEN:

We were around in 2009
You were not writing in bold in 2009-2015
You kept quiet
even when you announce casualties / wia/ kia
And I consult people who actually live in the Three States ( Adamawa/ Borno/ Yobe)
Your location tends to be the wrong location at the wrong time .
I was informed about the Yellow bucket tragedy less than 24 hours deliberately kept the location .
You on the the other hand would report tragic incident breathlessly without actual verification , this is what destroys your credibility.
One of your favorites is to quote " bh flew into town and the NA just ran away meanwhile heavy fighting , artillery and gunfire will be going on.
One day bh as is being evidenced will be utterly destroyed you will have to report it in bold .
