Death is inevitable

EVILFOREST:
RIP, Professor.
.... and Later one Pastor that seemed enlightened called IBIYEOMIE will mount pulpit dishing out Nonsense from Port Harcourt that Coronavirus is Malaria.
.... Nothing more.

Most PASTORS we have are drop outs who claimed God called them except for the Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodist, Jehovah Witness, Seventh Day, Presbyterian whose PRIESTS are enlightened and updated on daily basis with knowledgeable facts.

IBIYEOMIE disappointed me, honestly.
Although he disgraced himself.
The surprising thing is that MATTHEW ASHIMOLOWO keeps calling his colleagues to order not knowing they are not as educated and enlightened as he is.

he was taking swipe at the politics behind COVid 19. Rip to her but I hope you know people die of several ailments apart from COVid.
