ReplyDeleteR.I.P
ReplyDeleteSo sad.. RIP
ReplyDeleteHmm... Why do I doubt this story? What if someone had a hand in it? I think Nigerian students abroad should be much more careful. People could take advantage of our government's inaction and prey on our citizens in other parts of the world. You hardly hear of other nationals dying such deaths abroad like Nigerians. Do you think we are that dumb to be dying such absurd deaths all over the place??
ReplyDeleteUkonne may your soul rest in perfect peace and may God grant your mum the fortitude to bear the loss.
ReplyDeleteBack in the days of Holy Family College,, u were a true friend. May God grant your family the fortitude to bear the loss. God knows best..

ReplyDeleteAaah! RIP Uyobong. You were studious, so full of life, & funny. Everyday indeed is a blessing! May God comfort your family.
ReplyDeleteThey should investigate properly, I don't think it is an accident. No person will jump into a river without life jacket and on top of it doesn't know how to swim. May his soul rest in peace.
