When I was much younger, I used to believe everything is in my control and I can influence what I grow up to become.
Now I realized some things are beyond our control. Maybe it's the country, maybe it's the people themselves or maybe it's the opportunities that that are scarce, or maybe you have to beat the law to become successful.
I am starting to believe no one has ever become successful by following the laws of land.
same here, I always assumed everything was in my control. Life is crazy unscripted you can't predict anything. Humans are just deceiving themselves. To make the matter worse there is death and no one, no single soul knows in what land or time its is going to find it. And one thing is for certain it will meet us all at some point.

Op accept my Condolences

This is some of the reasons why some of us go crazy with complaints. These recklessness and high-handedness are both on the parts of the Government and the Citizens. Why would any normal human being drive in the dark without headlamps?
Nigerians find it very convenient to break the law because they know nothing will happen afterwards.
Some drivers will ply one-way roads on high speed and kill people in the process. Unnecessary loss of human lives. A life lost can never be revived, why do we act reckless on our own part and we want to blame Government for everything.
BAD PEOPLE DON'T ELECT GOOD GOVERNMENT
GOOD PEOPLE DON'T ELECT BAD GOVERNMENT
RIP to the brother we just lost. May God console your family.

Dad called at 1 am which was quite strange, narrating stories about how my bro was hit by a vehicle without headlamps blah blah blah…. I thought he was talking gibberish until it dawned on me like “O Ti Ku”… Chaiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Mr bro whyhuh??
What’s the point of this life. Hit by car ? Chaiiiiii
My head is spinning, can’t cry, lots of questions.
My mom is in the UK, she mustn’t even hear about this, arggghhhh!!!!
Worried about him, about his spirit, what is he going through now, how can I help him?

I’m going to Ibadan at sunrise, I don’t know what is awaiting me, like his bloodied corpse ? Chaiiiiii
Never lost a dear one before.
Hes the first born, I’m second….. Whats next?

So many questions, who was he with before death took him? Where exactly did it happen? It’s just my dad and my baby bro at home, how do we find peace ? What is going to happen to my ever-worried soft-hearted mom? …….I found out he posted on his WhatsApp around 10 pm, guess what was his caption…..”Get Rich or Die Trying”

Ahhhhh Bro Tee!! He was 35.
My condolences bro.
His whatsap post may have no connection to his death.
Death can find us anywhere and at anytime. We should just get prepared
RIP to him
His watch has ended

I am so so sorry brother @IceColdVeins. That's to show how scary and vain this life is. Be right back please.

From his nickname, I can deduce you are Muslims.

If I am correct, the best you could do for him now is to immediately reduce your grief and start thinking logically. Because life after death is real, very real!

First thing first, after the burial, let them start getting across to his contacts, Whatsapp, banks and co. Check if he's owing anyone or any entity. That should be your first priority. Do a comprehensive check on this please. If he's owing be committed to paying it off for him. Either from his money or look for a way. If he's not owing, that's one big relief.

Secondly, tell Dad and other to immediately organize prayers for him. Prioritize the following:

—Suratul Ikhlas,
—Suratul Mulk
—Suratul Yasin

Then others should also follow. On your own too, seek forgiveness for him as much as you can.

Third do charity on his behalf either communal based ones like portable water, or so. If you are not that buoyant, please do smaller one like food donations, money (no matter how little, to his credit).

Do this as frequently as you can. Faith is very important here because, we know that the earth is not the only plane of existence. As a matter of fact, earth is like 0.01, the 99.99 of our existence is otherworldly. And a day is coming where we'll definitely see our loved ones again. But seeing them in a good station is of high-priority.

And if he's not a Muslim, the best to honor his memory by through charity, no matter how little.

I'm so sorry bro, sending you lots of hugs.
😀 how do you know all these?

You don die before?

Re: My Elder Brother Is Dead!!!!!!! by Ishilove: 1:31pm On Sep 27, 2025
My deepest, deepest fear is the loss of a loved one. The thought alone always makes my heart quail in horror.

My sincerest condolences. I know how I cried when I lost two of my very dear friends in a space of two years, so the thought of a family member dying unexpectedly is just unimaginable. Lord.

Lost my best friend when I was in year 3 that was when I realized how painful it is to lose a love one

Take heart bro, the feeling of losing a loved one is pathetic, I lost my elder brother too this past July 29th...I was at work when they broke the bad news to me...Olakunle, may your soul continue to rest in peace....

Last year September,I lost my twins baby boys due to premature.

Sorry for your losses, bro. May you find comfort.

This is my fear every morning when I wake. That I may not make it back. Home. But after praying and reading the bible I usually feel relieved because somethings aren't in my control and worrying about them can't help, I just have to let God handle them .
I'm someone that worries a lot . But lately I've been putting that on God when I discovered I'm nearing having high blood pressure
Re: My Elder Brother Is Dead!!!!!!! by Lovelydaisies: 1:44pm On Sep 27, 2025
Take heart, OP. May your brother's soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Death is a debt we all owe.

Loss of a relative is the most painful thing one can experience. I have lost some and I know the grief it carries. I try not to remember them for my own peace.

Sorry bruh and may everything around you be your strength at this time
Re: My Elder Brother Is Dead!!!!!!! by wengerman: 2:25pm On Sep 27, 2025

I lost my immediate elder sister just over two years ago and the pain and loss is something she that I don't think can go away.Gos will comfort you
Re: My Elder Brother Is Dead!!!!!!! by michoim(m): 2:25pm On Sep 27, 2025
Condolences! May God grant you & family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss...the only way to overcome death is by giving your life to Jesus christ as your Lord & Savior. Because is him alone who died & Rose from the dead, to give you the hope of eternal life with God after death here on earth...

It may not be easy for one to make it big in Nigeria if one lives holily and righteously, like not giving bribes, not slandering other people, telling lies, changing figures, stealing public and company funds, colluding with contractors and employees, etc. It will be only by GOD'S Grace and Mercies will one who lives to please GOD Almighty make it big in Nigeria.

That's why for the righteous, the believer, the Bible says:
Romans 1:17 HCSB
[17] For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

John 15:5 NKJV
[5] “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Luke 1:37 NKJV
[37] For with God nothing will be impossible.”

Etc

The above DOES NOT mean that you will work hard, smart, improve yourself, seek opportunities, seek information, etc. You have to do so according to His own was: in righteousness and holiness.

Note:
I quoted the Bible verses up there in a context in line with what I wrote.
Re: My Elder Brother Is Dead!!!!!!! by Elusive001: 4:03pm On Sep 27, 2025
May you and your family be consoled. Losing a dear one is one of the hardest things.

May we who are alive to ponder over our lives, knowing that we will face eternity one day.
