I'm just speechless.

Wetin Dae happen for this country?.

May their soul rest In peace.

For you people quoting me, I wrote the word "Wetin Dae happen for this country" because the number of people that are dead this week is Alarming, that which makes me to say such statement.

I read it that it happened in California, USA.

OMG

I was still praising him for the Access Bank Marathon idea and how strategic it is today.
Omo! If only the amount of money and influence a person have could save, then someone like him will never die.

Let them that live, live unto the one that died for them, so that when they sleep, they may be awake once again.
I am terribly sad about this news.

This is very sad. To think he died on the same day Access bank had its Lagos city marathon makes it even more painful. Such a young, vibrant and intelligent CEO. This is going to be a huge loss for the country. May his soul RIP cry

I read about the crash very early this morning, around 2am, but I had no idea these were the victims. It was just reported in passing by an obscure website online, and I had thought "another rich American bites the dust" and promptly forgot about it.

This life ehn 😱
