Rip bro. Pls jogging is not a die hard endurance exercise, once you feel your heart burning out, take some minutes and rest yourself. He prolly overworked his heart

If you are reading this, you smoke, drink alcohol, slightly obese....dont think you are fit by doing early morning exercise.... Go for medical Checkup.
God!

People must learn how to visit the Doctor or a hospital for routine checkups .
something must have happened that could have been avoided

hmmm..

That's so sad.

RIP

All GEJ supporters appears to be clueless as he is.

hmmm, the pioneer of Jogging also died jogging. walking far distances is better than Jogging. just punishing ur heart for nothing

Egusi soup is only good for Amala... Not good in reasoning.. because it is non living things

Jogging on empty stomach in diz recession is catastrophic plz

Eeyah R.I.P

people are just dying anyhow, God please help us and protect this country from disaster

Things to learn from this sad story that the OP has posted..

1.Before starting any exercise regimen....get checked up for things like heart disease and hypertension. And if you are hypertensive, do take your drugs regularly.

2.When starting an exercise regimen, the way to begin is SLOW. Don't start jogging if you have never ever jogged in your life, or if you have not exercised hard in a long time. Start with walking a short distance for 15 minutes everyday....and build it up from there gradually. Fitness is not something that is achieved in one day.

3.Wherever you go, carry some form of ID on you. Even if it is just a piece of paper with ''My name is Chioma Bosede Abdullahi'' on it, it is better. Because, God forbid....in case something bad happens to you, it might make things difficult for you and your loved ones if no one knows who you are.
