Hearme: December last year, Wada's convoy was involved in accident that killed his ADC and Wada himself broke his leg. Now Wada's convoy again has killed an erudite scholar.

He should better change his escorts or give them a firm warning orders or he himself will die soonest. I can remember how those escorts often drink at the slightest opportunity when at occasions.

man mi na ritual thing o

rest in peace prof

Donalð Genes: Choi! see young man at his prime, anyway we still thank God for everything

funny NL's, by the way everyone on the thread is R.I.P.ing the man, while u are thanking God for the man...

RIP Prof

Festus Iyayi - I am really sad about this, so sad.

He taught me Organizational Behavior in the University of Benin. Festus Iyayi and Francis Dimowo, unfortunately both late now were the most powerful influences in my academic life up till today. It was after the class in Organizational Behavior that I felt like a true graduate. The classes were like being in Harvard Business School. All his materials were foreign.

Writing his exams was fun. I remember he bought sweats and biscuit to share to us while in the exam hall; stating that he wants us to feel at home even in the exam hall. He introduced me to reading Harvard business review journals. With over 400 articles read so far, I have always excelled in business related issues - all because of Festus Iyayi.

As one of his best students, he wanted me to further in Human Resources but I declines as I was more kin on Operations Management and Information Technology. Festus Iyayi kept being a father to me still and I believe not just to me but to many others. I consider myself fortunate to have known Festus Iyayi.

Festus Iyayi - May it be Jehovah will to resurrect you on resurrection Day. Amen

How many more Nigerians would die from the recklessness of these ruiners (so-called leaders)? How else would these people be made to understand that every road user has a right to this facility (Nigerian roads). Isn't it time these people declare a sit-at-home, anytime a govt. official is passing on any of our roads? Why would the common men ( Govt. Drivers), be used to perpetuate injustice on other common road users? This matter would still go the way of others, and who knows who else had died today from the recklessness of Nigerian officials convoys?

Olastep1: RIP. So sad anyway







......call off this goddamn strike, they wont listen!. Btw, what are they doing in Kano state varsity? So, they cant hold their meeting in Abuja again? This is what happens when some people happens to take 30 million students, 50 million parents and the government for ransom!!!

Just so sad. This Hausa boi(fagge) don push this innocent man to his death.... This hausa people no wan read again ni?

.....what do u mean.....even if the meeting is at abuja he will take the abuja-lokoja road....re u now blaming his death as been part of ASUU....thats foolish.

A very unfortunate incident that has claimed a prominent scholars' life. I remember my close shaves with all these gov convoy road bullying methods, they just brush you off the road or worse still, face you while you need to swerve off the road to save yourself from an accident.
Even local govt chairmen are guilty of this as well.
May God continue to grant us journey mercies. RIP TO PROF, your contribution to this struggle shall never be in vain.

TOO BAD......

pembisco: May be TB joshua was ryt wen he said it is God's wil dt nigerian universities be opened nd dt any1 who stands in d way of God's will hav hmslf be blamed, nd maybe dis prof who is vry influencial voted against calling off dis strike. Who knws. Rip prof.

.....this foolish thinking...giving reason for his deatth.Why re we wicked in thought..tell that to his family

God knows best. rest in peace prof.

Adieu, Prof. Festus Iyayi, patriotic matyr to the cause. To his family, associates, the academia my heartfelt condolences.
Again his death begs the question the rationale why steps are not taken by Nigerians to help solve Nigeria's problems when they're opportuned to so do. N. Wike, the Minister of Education & I lost a year & some months in the 1990s as undergraduates at RSUST to the issues now highlighted in the course of this on~going round of ASUU strike, yet the end to it stays elusive.

wengerjay: Patrick Obahiagbon giving his condolence on facebook;
"The grand initiation of Professor Festus Iyayi is a
lancinating loss of another stentorian voice, against
retrograde and prebendal forces of primitive
mercantilism.That he passed through transition on
matters pro bono publico,bears eloquent testimony
to our state of dystopia.Such is the evanescence of life.Its all vanitas vanitatum...."

Vain condolence. Profound stupidi.ty!

ayusco85: This is a sign from the universe that ASUU shouldn't call off the strike this yr.


#TeamCallOffStrikeNextYear

.U B monkey!!

IYA NGBALI: This is the more reason why the strike should not be called off,at least not until the man is buried in the 3rd quarter of 2014

Are you alright?

How is dis my business,
They shud pls call-off jor

ASUU call off the strike, but they refused. Fg give ASUU their money, but they refused. Instead, they prefer keeping innocent students at home and parents hope high. I hope this is an eye opener to them for taking the nation for granted. Is the Professor still going to enjoy his "earned" allowance? R.I.P anyway. Agwa nti ma onughi...

Exactly
RIP Prof, you will be truly missed

Joythah: ]It took his death for me to find out that he lives some streets away from me and by the side of my friend which is a testament to the type of life he live

Surprisingly, his house is just a few house away from mine, and one of his sons was also my classmate in secondary school, as well as my course mate in Uniben. O boy see heavy traffic for front of his house dis morning. Different high class pple with high class vehicles litter all over d place. The place pack full, no where to drive through. It took over 15mins before I was able to scale through. Omo, to die as a big man good o

nerodenero: Just hours after the death of former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Prof. Festus Iyayi, who died on Tuesday in a car crash on Lokoja-Abuja Expressway, the former lawmaker gave his condolence on facebook.
In his words:
"The grand initiation of Professor Festus Iyayi is a lancinating loss of another stentorian voice, against retrograde and prebendal forces of primitive mercantilism.That he passed through transition on matters pro bono publico,bears eloquent testimony to our state of dystopia.Such is the evanescence of life.Its all vanitas vanitatum...."

What a cruel world! A man fighting for the poor masses whose parents can't afford to either travel overseas or send their wards to the acclaimed private schools. May be God knew is your time to go and rest. May He be with you. Amen.

Donalð Genes: If ASUU had not extended the retirement age in one of their many useless strike actions, Festus Iyayi would not have died today!

He would still die.

Another strick

You thrice accursed m0r0n!

uceee: This is really unfortunate. I read his book "violence" when I was younger.
This strike has cost us a life. The life of a brilliant man who contributed a lot to our intellectual growth. RIP Prof!!!

Indeed you have said it.
