This is to say Rest in peace to Valentine Umeh, the youth corper that died on Feb 13th this year in bayelsa state.

Met him 2015 in UniAbuja where I was a 100level student and he in his final year. From the little I know about him, without showing the slightest bias to the dead, he was indeed a good guy.

Any day he came to my room in the hostel to charge his phone, he together with his right-hand guy, I.K, and Chinedu, who was my roommate(and was their coursemate ) would sit and chat quietly for hours till they left.

Throughout that year, he (or I.K) never had any issue with us. Sometime last year, I even met him in school when he came back for his clearance.

All of a sudden, I hear he's dead. This guy has slipped off the ladder of life, just before reaching out for his crown.

Oh, his parents. What pain!
Life is so so not fair.

Sleep well Valentine
