Someone just got his or her prayers for promotion answered, in a weird way though. But wetin carry this man go America go enter helicopter. The same helicopter that has been killing their soldiers more than terrorists.

The same people saying they have no information only a few hours ago. Believe them at your own risk. They had all the information they needed. They just didn't have the one they were ready to share

Very sad indeed..
Not just a tradegy, but a big one

One man's sorrow
Another CEO'S happiness,
Another lawyer's happiness
Another colleague's happiness..

We'll all die someday..
You're happy today, doesn't mean you wouldn't be sad someday.

Tragic loss ...Eternal rest grant unto their souls and let perpetual light shine upon them, May their souls rest in peace, Amen.

Rip

A great loss indeed 😔

RIP Herbert.
The wise will take the lesson learnt from your life and death and make adjustment while the foolish will continue to display a non-challant attitude, rant, complain, cry and eventually perish in their misery.

Rest in P.

After all the struggle on earth.

marry, get kids, be a good husband,
double your hustle, earn in dollar, wear gucci,

Rest in peace to the deceased. My prayers and thoughts are with their families.

Life is funny.

That's why we must always endeavour to live by God's word.

All things in this world are deception if we are not wise in knowing God.

Enjoy what God gives to you. Try to live s mark, honour and worship God, and lastly accept Jesus as your Lord and Personal Saviour.
