Missy ★ B:

Actually the least some of you can do is go far away from this thread if you have nothing to say but throw potshots.

When someone you 'know' dies, emotion is triggered. We reflect on their lifestyle and/or on ours and different thoughts dance  left-right. After a while, we move on because it's meant to be that way. The world doesn't stop but, that doesn't mean the defunct isn't missed.

There's indeed a lot to be learnt.
After all the insults on NL and all . . .You still care about people on NL and their well-being, even though you never met them. This, I learnt today.

Exactly.
I can't believe how much it stung me. I remember still teasing him just 2 weeks ago that he was finally old enough to drink. He responded in his usual cheeky manner and said 'legally'.
Till now, the tears have not left my eyes. Wow!!!!!! I don't even have the nerve to tell my colleagues who are currently consoling me that I never met the dude.

kadman:

Spikey I'm sorry. I can see it's on your blackberry status, facebook page and yahoo messenger so I know how much you are hurt.

Please refrain from trading words, you know where it hurts you, some people on here are just looking for their afternoon amusement. It is well pele

That is eh. . . . . .

ElRazur:

Okay, it is important to mention a few things.


While we may have our squabbles here and disagree over certain things. I think this thread shows that we somehow care about people we debate with or interact with online.


I stated this before, and I am stating again: The death of a member is a big thing to deal with and can be a shock to the system, so there shouldn't be a problem if some of us are asking for proper confirmation. It is because we care and deal with death in a different way. So for folks like me, it is important to get the confirmation if someone is reported as being dead or died fatally.

I noted that I was banned for "light trolling" just for asking for clarification if this was really about Bawolomo.   Smh.

Going by what I observed him post on the forum, he do not come across as a 21year old. He stated he worked etc. Anyone can see that these few things goes against what was being reported. Also those who claimed to "know him" are not forth coming with information. So it is understandable to see why some won't start posting condolences and just want a confirmation. (It boils to how we deal with death/bad news like this)


Deep down, I hope it isn't him and I hope it is all just a mistake, but I am not so sure now if all of these is a big coincidence. I mean, what are the odds?



As per those trying to bring God into all of these, I think this is wrong. Every man have their own beliefs and as such let us respect that. Especially, in this kind of moment where people are tense and want answer.


I won't wax lyrical about bawolomo, other than say home boy if you are there abeg log in.

spikedcylinder:

Woohoo? Jubilation on someone's condolence thread?
You have the mad cow's. It is certain.

jay bee:

21 is just damn too young.
He had his whole life ahead of him.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace

mukina2:

Cant any thread go on without people trying to know who's real and who's not?

a young boy just lost his life at 21 and you have people on here causing  rukus in here.
imagine if he was your younger brother, shot down in a cruel manner how would you feel?

Please people ignore those who think  they are better than us all.
Bamowolo rest in peace  , you will surely be missed  

mukina2:

let it go please . . . . .

naijababe:

Please log off NL now in honour of Bawo, please.

Moonstone:

@spiked, please just mourn a friend and leave Kobo alone. Imagine if bawo were here, what would he do? Since you're hurting, just take your time to mourn him and let's still hope he pops up in here saying it's someone else with a similar name and a similar address .

@ NL moderators, can someone please delete certain comments from this thread?

Pataki:

Drop this abeg. Don't expect everyone here to be sane. I would have questioned myself if some people posted otherwise on this thread. But alas, they never fail with their ultimate foolish reasoning and the air head they carry around thinking their views hold supremo.

Bawomolo, I never had cause to really banter with him much except once on a gay topic/thread like that. And I found him quite intriguing with that amount of intelligence at his age then.

May God grant his family the strength to bear this sad loss.

davidylan:

One gunner down but not out! It is well bro . . . we exchanged sharp words but you depart with my respect for you intact.
Arsenal will do this weekend in your honor.

davidylan:

and you "handle grief" how? By shedding crocodile tears and bawling everywhere?

eldee:


Now Kobojunkie and El Razur are reacting in a way that's accepted, it's denial . . . a fight with her will only make things worse.

eldee:

@Spikey

Thanks for posting his FB despite the fact that you don't need to prove to anyone that he's the one, I've seen the pic on Faceboook and the one on the paper . . .I think it's him.

It's not in you place to decide if they're shedding crocodile tears or not.
You do it your way and let him/her do it his way . . . if 'bawling' will make anyone okay, then it's their choice.

Why don't you respect the fact that we just heard of someone's death and leave the job of telling people what's right to conscience and common sense.

Sigh.

@ sagamite, I knew it was going to devastate you as I have been privy to some of your exchanges and they always made me literally laugh my bum out.
This is beyond sad.
