I am a graduate of Haile Sallasie Military Academy 6th Course and a Nigerian.I was originally resident in Keren Coy but graduated in Adua . Up Adua! I am highly impressed of the bravery of the Gen. He is a real GOBEZ and I say BETAMTRUNO. I am proud of my friends in Ethiopia and their immense contribution in nation building. For us your brothers in Nigeria we are copping with the difficulties confronting poor nations generally greatest of which is economy and tackling terrorism . We shall overcome. I fought on the side of Biafra like Cols PJ Okoli ,Lambert Iheanacho and some others . I am aware of your concern for our safety during those harrowing years .Thank you all. Nevertheless a soldier must be a soldier no matter his circumstance. We lost quite a number of us as you must have heard from PJ . I have also been abreast with our losses on the Ethiopian home front so to say. We are proud of your efforts. I will keep you informed on our own front.PJ and I are planning a visit to Ethiopia soon . We will keep you posted on that . I hope you all do remember me . Be blessed

I am a Nigerian graduate of the 6th Course of the Harar Military Academy.I was extremly thrilled when I read about the bravery and accomplishments of General Legesse.Legesse was in the same Keren Company with me in the Academy but I graduated a year before him,Oct 1965. He was a very good footballer and basketball player. I will be very grateful to anyone who would link me up with Legesse and my room mate, Kasaye Kifle. I visited Ehiopia in 1987 and met Kasaye and many other courrse mates of mine.However,when I went back in 2009 I learnt Kasaye,Girma Alemayehu and Yoseph Petros had gone to settle in the US.

God bless the patriots. Ethiopia has never,ever been short of patriots and exemplary sons and daughters like Brigadier General Legesse Teffera, from among the plenty ones of similar talent, skill, and profound knowledge of tactical battle combat whether in air, on the ground, or on the sea.

Harar Military Academy, Air Force, Nevy, and other military institutions have produced many Ethiopians with proven skill and knowledge suitable and applicable to any sort of battle. These military heroes have had sharp, plished, and valuable skills and knowledge to the utmost satisfaction of millions of Ethiopians and their beloved motherland, Ethiopia.

whether in Heaven or on the Earth, all of our heroes are the eternal living Ethiopians. We will always remain and deeply loyal to their proven skills and knowledge that have been apllied in many ways to protect the motherland and nations.

Millions of blesses to the heroes of Ethiopians.

I and my wife proud of these Ethiopian pilots. My father and mother are also proud of him and share their idea had they been in life too. Of course my 8 and 10 years children share their father’s opinion. They are proud of him as I read them this report.
