Ok

So sad, I remember his story how he lost his wife, his new born baby and house maid in a plane crash involving Nigerian airways in 1983 at Enugu airport on their way back from the US.. Since then nobody heard of him again as it was rumored that he retired to his village.. Anyway may his soul rest in peace and may he joyfully reunite with his dead family in the world beyond
