Your condition cannot be solved!

Rest on Pa. What remains now is what you did and what you left undone. That's life. So ephemeral.

Who curse epp? Just live your life knowing you've done your best for humanity. If you deserve to be cursed, it'll definitely be yours even if not cursed.

May God grant his soul an eternal rest and comfort the family he left behind.

I enjoin all big men and big women especially the political class to carry the masses ( poor people ) along in the development of this great country call Nigeria.

Life is so short.

The best legacy a dead person can bequeth on the living is to create a positive impression while he or she was alive on earth.

LIFE NA YEYE!
