Nairaland Reported about his death earlier here https://www.nairaland.com/3154869/steve-evo-chuckwu-dead

For the past 48 hours or thereabout, we have not heard from Femi Fani-Kayode, which is very unusual considering the fact that we do hear from him once or twice a-day. Can somebody tell this house where he is?

Normally in this part of the world, Nigeria experience hot weather conditions say, February through April - perhaps 1 or 2 rainfalls and follow by hot weather conditions. However, it is observed that there was rainfall during this period of election, either just before it or after it in some regions of the country (Nigeria). For the past 3 days, its been cool here in the FCT and some other areas, which is a bit strange considering the fact that opposite is usually the case year-in-year-out.....

How is it in you area and if you concur, should we now say, even Nature (God) is telling us something - a CHANGE?
