Only GOD knows why HE allowed this to happen. Let us take it in our stride as Christians. Adieu!

My brother my dearest friend since old days. I'm deeply saddened beyond measure. A real friend who stood by me at my worst time. I miss my brother. Rest well my dear I will tell my grandchildren about you. You cannot be forgotten

Dear Ajah, sleep well Infantua!!! You came and you gave your best, departing a Hero who gave his all for the country and job he so loved. It shall be well with your loved ones. Rest well Dear Brother, My Cadet, My Friend.

Ayyy God, can't ask why so soon. Rest in power Daniel. You made friends so effortlessly. Still remember vividly when we bid you farewell in Juba, South Sudan. May God strengthen your family. Indeed, Nigeria has lost a stalwart soldier

My dear brother,
It hard to take in the news of your death though I keep reading it everywhere.
You were such a proud Nigerian Army officer during your mission at South Sudan.
You used to tell us your passed experiences at Borno without knowing you will be posted back there after your mission for the insurgents to kill you.
You have paid the supreme price for your country. We pray God to give Nigeria the capacity to overcome these insurgents and banditry.
Adieu gallant officers! May God give your family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Tribute to a quintessential leader and hero.
Lt COL ND Ajah, your demise came as shock to us all. You fought gallantly to keep the country safe so others can enjoy and live in peace. May God console your immediate family and give them fortitude to bear the loss. God knows best. Adieu sir

I met you in a mission in South Sudan, we were neighbours, Aja walked to me shining my boots , he said "Hallo sister, how are you, you just reminded me of my youthful years", I looked up, smiled."Hallo to you", I said..me being a snob as I continued with my business.." I am Daniel, what is your name?", "Hadijah ", I said..
Daniel became our friend me and my roommate, he invited us to Nigerian Parties..
Daniel you were and still beautiful.
U warm hearts, my friend Obi always referred to you as "OGA".you made us look like we were lacking. U selflessly looked out for everyone especially Nigerians.
Many a times I could hear your name being mentioned by people , a reflection of a stong, brave courageous leader who understood things differently, from a perspective that not all of us were abundant in.

I know Nigeria has lost another SUN(SON), my only regret is that I ddnt get to spend more time with you...

I hoped that one day I'll get to see you in the highest command of Nigerian Army..but those r just hopes..

U r in a better place my friend, the angels are making a celebration since one of them joined them.

Thank you Daniel for the friendship, for the humour, kindness for being a definition of opposite, A brave, difficult commander yet so kind..

Until we meet again Friend..

Stay in light..

I wish heavens had visiting hours

Oh my God!!


Oh death where is sting, oh hade where is your victory.
It's quite painful to learn of your sudden death my big boss, friend and mentor.
I met you in the peacekeeping mission in South Sudan and we became bond immediately.
You took me as your son and showers on me uncommon love.
Adieu my big boss
Sleep on in the bossom of the Lord when we shall meet to part no more.

Death is indeed painful, you were a great guy with a large heart. You went out of your way to make others comfortable. I pray God comforts your family and loved ones left behind. Rest in peace Gallant Soldier, my friend and senior colleague till we meet again. Adieu!!

Ajah, my mother's son, the thot of you was heavy few hours b4 the news of your demise; how we will hang out more again and iron out some personal matters. It was all over my atmosphere (the thot of you) like seldom. Then suddenly, the saddest news came. Hmmn! I swear I miss you, you break my heart Daniel my brother. Am so sorry... am so sorry...

Oh God pls have mercy on us all

Oh God! I just learnt of this sad news this evening, oh death why? A very hard-working and respectful fellow, full of live.. My first taught when I heard this was ur mum, oh God!

Eternal rest Grant him oh Lord and let ur perpetual light shine on him.

--Your friend, sister and former Neighbor Adaku Odimba ( back then in Ganikale)

It hurts me so bad that the first time and last time i will be seeing you is in death. My heart bleeds to learn that one of the finest brains in my father's house is gone. Big brother I am confident you are with God. We will meet again. Rest on my hero...

MY FRIEND, MY BROTHER
Dan, as I always call you, it’s so difficult for me to put pen to paper but I have to do it.

You were a friend to your wife’s friends and a brother to me.

I remember our last conversation, that I will always cherish.

How will I forget your sumptuous meals? Our last meal was pounded yam with vegetable soup which you gladly prepared for us.

It hurts having to bid you farewell especially when we never planned for it.

Thank you for the most pleasant memories, thank you for loving Edith unconditionally.
Keep watching over her and D.

Continue to rest Our Unforgettable hero.

I know I will surely miss you!

Engr. Jessica Yakwo

Lt Dan, you came, you saw and conquered. You're a bold soldier and a proud professional. You paid the ultimate prize so that Nigeria can be returned to a place of peace.

The 200m nationals will forever remember you.

Late LT. Colonel Daniel Ajah was a very good friend with a good heart.
We attended same Secondary School and he became the Head Boy being a very brilliant, disciplined and principled guy.
He had great leadership qualities.
We lost contact after secondary school for twenty-three (23)years after which we met again when he was posted to NYSC Camp in Lagos as the Camp Commandant.
The period brought about good old memories and we were seeing each other almost every day.
My Wife, Children and Mother liked him so much and would sometimes request to kno his wellbeing.
He had a favorite slogan (GBA BEE OOO)which I and some other friends took as our slogan and it gave us cheerfulness and greater bonding.
The news of his death came to me as a rude shock in the office.
IHS'96 has lost a very rare gem and we can never have another Lt. Col. Daniel Ajah in our midst again.
Whenever we talk or chat, I would pray that he would get to the peak of his career and that we shall all be present to celebrate with him but it's so unfortunate that he left this world at this time.
I will miss him.
I pray that God Almighty should comfort his wife, son, Christopher and the entire family.
May his soul rest in peace.

Tpl. Ibrahim O.G. Anifowoshe

DAN!  Ajeh!..Knowing you for exactly 3 decades was the best thing that I can never forget till this untimely death that took you away..haaaaa...yes your job description is so tasking but never will I believe it will take you away at this point in time. A gallant fine upright infantry soldier you were at the most tasking pinnacle of your career (Lt Col) your life was cut short in the line of duty....it hurt writing a tribute instead of breaking KOLA...sigh..I have tried to come out from this reality that you are no more.
You have left  everyone devastated, sad and angry knowing how the story was..we had plans ...we had dreams....you left your ageing parents and siblings in a trauma I pray that God comfort them ..not to talk of your better half(wife) and your newly addition and your dream(son) you only carried for just few days. Haaaa! DEATH! What can we say..we are like pencil in the hands of our creator..who are we to challenge God. From you we came ..and from you we shall all return.  Your death is a matyre...which made me believe that you have found peace and eternity...as I drop my pen at this instance..I pray May God have mercy on you, clear your shortcomings..and bless everyone fortitude to bear your exit.
ADIEU my FRIEND my BROTHER Liutenant Colonel ND AJAH...

RIP our gallant hero...You paid the ultimate price for our dear nation.
May God grant you eternal rest and the calm courage to your family.

A brother with a big heart that take care of others rest on we will miss your contribution to Ajah's compound our hero

Sometime circumstances will forced me to ask why good people are often called by God when we need them most.
I have not seen you in person but your voice alone through phone conversation convinced me that you are simply a good man. I know fully well that not only your immediate family will miss you but the entire Nigeria and Nigerian.
May your gentle and good soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.
Engr. Ongbabo Elaigwu Sabo

My brother, this is a loss too many. My heart bleed for my dad whom you took very good care of and for your wife whom war had widowed, for your son and most of all for the Ajah family.
Rest on, we are never a family of cowards but who can question God?

Nwokike, I'm still shocked that this insecurity swallowed you. We continue to pray and strive that you laid down your life for a good cause. Evil will never overcome good! Rest on brother, and may the Nigeria of your children be better because of your sacrifice!

Rest in Peace, Daniel. Your loss is painful and untimely.

You are a great guy indeed. RIP Hero.
