Nigerians or you?
What exactly was he doing before the Election? He was not roaming about like this before, or is he afraid of going into oblivion?

Sad Easterns should feel free to donate their tears here.

The most comforting thing about Death is that, there is no consciousness and pain in Death. At least, she wont feel anything anymore

Her accent was sleek, her beauty was Marilyn Monroe-esque

Some Philosophers said its greedy to want to live in an Afterlife when some people died via Abortion. So lets assume theres not one

This one life she lived has being very inspirational to many. RIP

Fixed.

I trust the agulu fraud to show up at Onyeka's burial. Any opportunity for a photo ops is his concern. All politicians have stayed out of something that's meant for family and close associates, but the agulu man Sha carry im leg there with his black uniform.

Meanwhile, he is currently collecting wotowoto on twitter.

Some unfortunate people are already disgracing their family up here.

Nwagukosy:
You be f@@l.
A simple question, why was she not buried in igboland.
It's our tradition to bury the dead in their hometowns. I wonder why she got buried outside her state.
I don't know their reasons anyway

Idiot, so all those ones buried in Ikoyi cemetary, Enugu Township cemetary, Abuja cemetary are from those towns?
Oya, go and exhume her body and bury in your village. Mumu

Dem no fit bury her for Igbo land?
RIP

I'm sure you're still a tenant in the place you brag about as your city.

The end of one Life (temporal) marks the beginning of Eternal Life but the question is where would you spend your period of immortality?

She married a Lagosian. Her culture demands a woman to be buried in the land of those who paid her bride price
