May his soul rest in peace

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is very common among sportmen

The heart sustains an insult, the electricity is short circuited, the heart can't pump, and the body dies.

"The inevitable quiet end"

People die in Nigeria everyday of "silly" sicknesses, accidental discharge , herdsmen killings and poverty.. Yes poverty..

Deaths here, deaths there,.. This is really a bad omen.

Can't we see that it is not normal?

Pls our government pls we are begging. Give us our right. Free medical healthcare is our right.

To be alive and happy is our right. To be safe and sound is our right. Atleast give us something and stop fighting corruption. Pls stop ..

We said give us job and you gave us whistle blower bill. Chai. Nigeria must rise .. Issamust

another one

RIP

RIP, baller

There's no day that pass I will not hear of death in Nigeria

Who do us this thing I beg or should I say we Nigerians are publishing death too much on social media.

I hardly see all this developed country publishing death like the way we do, accept if the persons is a celebrity or well known around the world.



R.I.P young man

Omg! It is well!

RIP

Inna LiLahi Wa Inna Ilaehi Rojiun. May Allah forgive and count him among the Muttaqun. My commiseration to his family for the irreparable loss.

Who knows when my time will be up.

This one everybody is slumping and dying. My friend's dad slumped and died last week. Also immediate past caretaker chairman of our LGA slumped and died last month.

I ask again what have we done to deserve a dullard like buhari as our president?

Rip bro

Why be say na so so death tory full NL page today na?



Anyway RIP to the dead sha...

Sad

Slumping Don too much, don't know if it's social media making rampant or was it like this before.

Death by slumping is slowly becoming a normal thing here.

What could be the cause? Heart problems or what?

And to think most of them are young fellows.

By the way, I've got two iPhone 6s for sale. https://www.nairaland.com/4496506/very-neat-iphone-6s-sale

the only achievement under this buhari regime is DEATH

may God see us through

RIP

May Allah protection increase in folds over us in this month of Ramadan. Hasibuna Llahu Wa ni Mal Wakil.

The rate at which people just slump and die this day point to harsh economic conditions.
