  18. As far as I'm concerned, there's an African factor involved. One of my colleagues died a week after our call to bar too. People keep inviting their whole village for call to bar. Only my parents were invited by me. I know it sounds crazy superstitious but jazz is very much alive and well in these parts. People don't want to see u succeed or do better than their own kids. They do jazz for the most ridiculous reasons. This boy's story is so so painful. May his soul rest in peace. God will serve justice.

  21. The thief cometh to steal, kill n destroy...
    oh dear, what a waste!
    some of these things r spiritual. u do not need to offend anybody before they seek to destroy ur soul. just ur profound success n prosperity alone is annoying to evil ones. too sad.
    We all need to be very prayerful.
    RIP LAWAL

  44. Such a sad and unfortunate loss. His name was Lawi danjuma chigebe though..not lawal. And he was son to the acting chief judge of Adamawa state where he hails from. Its so sad.. He carted away 7of the nearly 14 awards and was rumored to have secured admission at the prestigious Harvard University. Such is life.

  80. @Owoseni Oluwatosin@10.11AM, are you sure you were definitely called to the bar?? If so, you should go back to the Nigerian Law School and ask for your money back- you can't spell and you can't write properly yet you call yourself a lawyer?? You are an insult and a disgrace to the legal profession. To all potential clients, please take note before you go to Owoseni Oluwatosin for any form of legal advice as it will sure land you in trouble!

  83. Anon 3:06- kilode? Na fight? Haba! Why all these insults. Make your points and leave it at that. And for your information, i know Tosin quite well, and one thing that warmed me to her was her spoken english. I know gried can make one disoriented and i dont blame her one bit. Lest i forget, dont u ever dare insult any graduate of the law school. U have no idea what it takes to be there and pass.. Its no piece of cake and thats why Lawi's death got to us. Please stand corrected. Cheers.
