Presidential aide, Oronto Douglas dies of cancer at 49

Shocking news this morning. One of president Jonathan's trusted aides Oronto Douglas has passed away. The Special adviser to President Jonathan on Research, Documentation and Strategy and Niger-Delta environmental activist, died in the early hours of today April 9th at about 5am at the State House hospital where he had been receiving treatment for a cancer related illness.

The lawyer and environmentalist had been sick for a while but continued to work so hard because he believed in the Jonathan administration. He was said to be devastated when President Jonathan lost in the last Presidential election.

The former Commissioner for information in Bayelsa state was born in 1966. He's survived by his wife and children. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

      You will remain in shock for as long as you refuse to gain wisdom. Even if he chopped money as you ignorantly claim do you think that cures illnesses or makes people to live forever? You better think twice before slandering people especially deceased people.

    When i heard the news early this morning i screamed! so cancer finally won!

    You fought a good fight Boss, you beat it before, i thought you would beat it again.
    You were a great man, a different stock, cut from a different cloth, a rare breed. Extremely knowledgeable in many fields.
    You taught me well, you made me believe in hope for Nigeria, you taught me to take pride in being a Nigerian no matter what.
    I am keen on Politics and political events because of you.
    Oga this is not how we planned it, you promised to be there for me when i take up governance as a responsibility, who will tutor me like you did and ask for NOTHING in return?

    Thank you for giving me that push which i used in launching my vlog!!! even when i kept saying political critiquing wont make for many views on YouTube.

    I will miss you a great deal. i am not crying, i am weeping.
    You left behind a young wife and little children, for who Oga? for who to take care of.

    I will miss you
    Dumo Lulu Briggs will Miss You
    Nduka Obaigbena will miss you
    Mr. President will miss you BUT
    I am consoled that i will see you on the resurrection morning.

    Sleep in the Lord OH Mentor!
    Rest in Peace.

    Since yesterday it was in the news. Linda. envious of the kardashians or obsessed I don't. Know which. No day passes without something on them. Are they the only people in the world? U need to upgrade maybe because they are no competitors yet. When they come u will have to up ur ante. Very disheartening Linda.

    I have cried very well today, Uncle Oronto was a very good man. I sent him a text last month with prayers and he responded. It touched me to think that someone so busy and sick will find time to respond to his messages, that was how selfless he was. He had a great sense of humour and spoke yoruba fluently. He was a good friend of the Nigerian Entertainment Industry. His friends, Von Kemedi and Chioma Ude will miss him. I will miss him too. The Holy Spirit will console his family and loved ones in Jesus' name. Adieu Uncle Oronto, we love you!!!
