I had read the story in the newspapers earlier in the day and never imagined it could be someone I knew, until my senior colleague in office who is also a popular Nairalander, broke the news to me as we met downstairs - he asked whether I had heard about the Nigerian student that was shot in Chicago, I said 'yes' and when he told me it was our Nairaland colleague 'Bawomolo', I almost collapsed. I went back to my desk, disturbed, unsettled, restless for the rest of teh day. My colleagues in office found it hard to believe I can be that touched by the death of someone I knew on just on the internet. It was a sad day for me.

More surprising was knowing he was just 21! I could have sworn he was in his late 20s or early 30s, going by his depth!!!

RIP Brother,

Though life was taken away from you at a young age, God in his mercy will grant your family peace to bear your loss. Thanks Ileke for posting this, I hope you'll be able to bear his loss as well.
Re: A Year Later: Remembering Olubusayo Awomolo (Bawomolo) : Light A Candle For Him by nanidee(f): 2:40pm On Nov 30, 2011
RIP Bawomolo. . .

i feel really sad by all this.


Aryyor:

^^^ Bawomolo declared he was an atheist and would probably give you a 'lol' if you wished him that while he was here with us.

BTW, he was a very intelligent young man. He commented on some controversial issues yet he argued brilliantly; neither rude, insultive nor proud. He was indeed a gentleman.

Now that he's dead, what if he came to find out that there is indeed God. God, whom he brilliantly argued and reasoned out of his life,
I wonder where Bawomolo is now. Is he in hell? Is he in heaven? Or is he nowhere; in a state of nothingness? I really wonder,


this is really food for thought. This is an opportunity for those who are alive to take stock of their lives and beliefs.



It is really sad hearing this, and i do hope he somehow had the chance to make the right decisions before his death. Death comes calling, when no one expects, so now is the time to make the best of the time we have here on earth, while still alive.

I pray that God continues to comfort his family.

His family have calmness in their genes. I know a member. He was a true gentleman. R.I.P. Bawomolo, while we are still working on earth, you are at rest.

Is there any way he can be immortalised on nairaland?

May his memory remind us that:

It is not how long we live that counts, but how well what we do amounts to improve our life and the lives of others in our family, community and the rest of humanity.

Re: A Year Later: Remembering Olubusayo Awomolo (Bawomolo) : Light A Candle For Him by JeSoul(f): 9:04pm On Nov 30, 2011
I think about Bawo frequently and was hoping there would be a 1-yr memorial thread and I'm glad to see one.

It still stings as though it were yesterday. I only pray & hope that you are in a much better place and at peace. I pray for your family even as their heart still bleeds for your loss. I pray for the world, the day it lost such a brilliant light.

You will always be missed. Rest dear friend.

RIP, MAN.
Any news of the nigga that killed him, anything in the news about him since a year ago or has the case been confined to the cold cases folder by the Chicago police?
Not that anything can bring him back to life but the family do need justice, Abi? Remember Wacko MJ naw.

@Ileke-IdI:

Oh Ileke-IdI, it was only a matter of time before I saw this thread. I wanted to create a thread like this but I know how painful it is for you. Just the mere mention of his name was enough to upset you when I talked about him in the thread on the romance section. I'd thought about Bawomolo's death throughout the entirety of this year. Unlike some people of this thread, I haven't had a first hand experience of death. There few individuals who I have a connection to in terms of their death are my grandfather from my mother's side, my aunt from my mother's side, and a friend from high school. I barely remembered them [ my grandfather and aunt] so they're passing never affected me. . . At least not right away. It wasn't till I got older and started to reflect on the structure and make up of my family. Up until those moments in my life, I hadn't experienced such feelings. It was then that I felt the sadness of not having those people in my life, so hearing of Bawomolo's death was a complete shock to me. It had hit a lot closer to home. Just like you, I had never met Bawomolo but in some ways I felt that I knew him. I've never been one to hide my feelings, thoughts, or emotions but I will be very honest when I say this. I've never cried so much in my life--even as I write this, there are warm tears of sadness streaming down my eyes. For days, tears streamed down my eyes when I thought of him. Just as the others on Nairaland, I didn't want to believe it when the news broke. It took me a few minutes to even gather myself and understand what was going on. At times, I'd catch myself thinking about him and thinking that had someone come to his aid, he would still be among us today. That's what gets to me the most--its the "what if's" that keep playing in my mind and sadly from time to time, they just keep playing. At times on Nairaland, we tend to write and interact with one another under the guise that the things we encounter, do, and say here will not or do not affect us. Clearly, some of us have been mistaken. Through this site, I've come to love, understand, dislike, admire, and cherish the encounters I have had. I've met and encountered some of the most wonderful people--people who I at times have a love and hate [I don't actually hate anyone] relationship. My heart really went out to his mother and father. The loss of a child is never easy for any parent no matter how old the child is. Bawomolo, where ever you are, if you are indeed somewhere please know that you were truly loved an well respected. You were a better person than I could ever be. May your words and good nature continue to touch the hearts of people--you may not be with us physically but you are with us in spirit.

Let us not mourn the death of our dear Bawomolo, let us celebrate the life of such a beautiful individual
