    To think that i still saw him on feb 29 during Makay's inaugural where he was cracking jokes and was so lively.

    i guess we just have to accept dat we are dust and unto dust we shall return..

    May his gentle soul RIP in Jesus name Amen.

  25. May His soul RIP.

    These things can be annoying because it makes me wonder if the MONA protocol was administered. This is what is needed when someone suffers a cardiac arrest.
    Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates and Aspirin. I wonder how many Nigerian doctors have been able to successfully implement the MONA protocol.
    In Yankee and other countries, when a patient comes, and you ask, many have had several cardiac arrests, bypass surgeries and a cocktail of heart and vascular procedures done to them. In Nigeria, that is not so, many people cant and dont survive. Plus there are no real preventive strategies, cholesterol screenings, serious stop smoking campaigns, all of which increases a person's risk of cardiac arrest.

    While what I mentioned above is too late to save Prof Sofoluwe's life, I pray that many will use platforms such as this and others, to realize the simple measures that can save the life of others that we know that are dear to us.
