RIP

from @therock I love you.
You broke color barriers, became a ring legend and trail blazed your way thru this world.
I was the boy sitting in the seats, watching and adoring you, my hero from afar.
The boy you raised to always be proud of our cultures and proud of who and what I am.
The boy you raised with the toughest of love.
The intense work.
The hard hand.
The adoring boy who wanted to know only your best qualities.
Who then grew to become a man realizing you had other deep complex sides that needed to be held and understood.
Son to father.
Man to man.
That’s when my adoration turned to respect.
And my empathy turned to gratitude.
Grateful that you gave me life.
Grateful you gave me life’s invaluable lessons.
Dad, I wish I had one more shot to tell you, I love you, before you crossed over to the other side.
But you were ripped away from me so fast without warning.
Gone in an instant and no coming back.
Im in pain.
But we both know it’s just pain and it’ll pass.
Now I’ll carry your mana and work ethic with me, as it’s time to move on because I have my family to feed and work to accomplish.
Finally, I want you to rest your trailblazing soul, Soulman.
Pain free, regret free, satisfied and at ease.
You lived a very full, very hard, barrier breaking life and left it all in the ring.
I love you dad and I’ll always be your proud and grateful son.
Go rest high. ripsoulman #rockyjohnson 🐐

Converge here all you Harry Potter. Can you remember where you were when you heard that Alan Rickman has passed? Can you remember how you felt? Now I want you to know that it was four years ago that this happened. How time flies when people pass on.

The British actor and entertainer passed on back in 2016, and his fans are just now marking the 4th anniversary of his death. Known for his ever swaying charisma, chosen scanty words, a and confidence that steals the heart of Harry Potter fans.

May you rest well Sire. We are definitely missing you. He officially passed on 14th January 2016, and it only feels like yesterday. He was 70 and fine.

from @kerihilson 💔 I wasn’t ready. I don’t wanna do this. But I want to honor you in as many ways as I can. Forever…
Dad was the coolest, the countriest, the funniest, the smartest. And I am so much of him. My eloquence, my love of words & writing, my cynical sense of humor, my rapid-fire nature, my whistling, my optimism, my eyes, my love for singing, gold jewelry, sports, horses, real-estate, even painting…turns out, I’m just a “‘SKIP’ off the old block.” So proud to carry so much of this man in my being. Most were natural, but others were developed from a daughter’s admiration. But I simply was not ready to say goodbye yesterday morning. I feel like a lost little girl right now. The 7th video would be his last birthday…71. So happy I could be there, as “celebrity” would have me absent for many cherished moments. The next 2 were this past Christmas Eve, when Mom turned 69. He was so happy. It would be their last photo together. A few days after that on Dec 27th, they celebrated 40 years of marriage. The last image was the very last photo I’d ever take with him…the last time I’d hug him & show him my appreciation w/ some new Ohio State gear…our last Christmas. I never got to give him the final surprise—Ohio State sneakers & an Ohio State watch…they delivered late. I’m truly going to miss you Dad. I already do. So many wishes left in my heart. I hope you visit me in my dreams so they can come true…I’ll take it. 💭 Say hi to Grandma & Granddad. 🙏🏾 I love you more than you could know. REST IN HEAVEN, Dad. Til’ we meet again…

Just months after he was part of the old soldiers honoured by the Nigerian Army, the oldest Nigerian soldier has gone to be with his ancestors. It is a blessing to have to literally fight a battle (probably Biafra), and then live such a great ripe old age. God rest his old soul.

Adama Aduku, the oldest surviving retired officer of the Nigerian army, has died at the age of 101.

The army authorities announced his death on Twitter on Wednesday. Aduku, a World War II veteran, was said to have died on Tuesday morning.

The deceased soldier was reportedly born in 1918 to a farmer at Abejukolo-Ife, Kogi state and joined the army in 1945.
.
.
He was said to have fought for the British colonial army in Burma and Egypt during the second world war II.
.
.
In 2019, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo presented an award of excellence to Aduku at the Nigerian army day celebrations in Lagos.
.
.
Speaking with journalists at the event, Aduku said he was also deployed in India during the world war.

With a trend of sadness going right on in this line of relationships, its been said that yet another death has occurred in relation to the Whitney Houston’s baby girl case.

According to Usweekly, Nick Gordon who was involved in the circumstances of Whitney Houston’s daughter’s coma/drug overdose .

Though the issue was a bit complicated, it was suspected that he had a thing or two to do with the issue, buy it could not be proven. He was discharged and acquinted but the family of Whitney don’t feel like justice was served.

After all that time gone, with a movie made about Kristina Brown, we are now finding out that the said young man has passed on just recently at the young age of 30.

In honour of the one and only womanhood being celebrated, Nigeria is celebrating the women who have given us the reason to be doing what we are doing.

The women who are letting us know that we as women, can do all we put our hearts to. The one who proved it to all female science students in Nigeria was Deborah Opeyemi Jibowu, who has been tagged Nigeria’s first female science graduate, and she has gone to be with her ancestors who is made proud with her strive as a female Nigerian.

She was aged 95 years. She graduated from the University of Manchester, United Kingdom in 1947 and was a recipient of Member of the British Empire (MBE) in 1962 and Officer of the Order of Niger (OON) in 1965.

Late Jibowu was also a member of the Local Government Service Commission, Western Region (1959-1971), Commissioner at the National Population Commission (NPC) (1981-1983), and Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council, University of Calabar (1993-1997).

It may just sound like news to those who have not yet experienced this hard side of life. But for those who have no problem in putting them selves in the shoes of the people going through on thing or the other.

May the good Lord grant Niki the confidence and strength to recover the death of a loved one or ones.

from @theestallion – It’s really hard for me to open up and be vulnerable most times but I know I’m not the only person dealing with these feelings around the holiday times. I see a lot of my hotties checking on me In my dm’s asking how I am and just showing me a lot of love and it really made me get emotional. I’m definitely still in a bad place when it comes to the topic of my mother and great grandmother but they raised me to be strong so I’m going to continue to be strong and make them proud of me. I know that pain is temporary and I’m going to continue to get better and grow into the woman my mother knew I could be ! Just remember to try to always be kind to people , check on them , uplift your loved ones because you never know what people are going through internally. – #regrann

In what would have been just another ordinary circumstances that led to a loss of life, fans are finding out it wasn’t just ordinary after hitting the lyrics and songs of dead rapper juice Wrld to listen to his messages hours after he was pronounced dead only to find out how many places he had predicted his death.

When a trait well known is occuring to a certain kind of people who are infact living and saying something very familiar, then it becomes disturbing. it is no longer news that these rappers who are always talking about death and sadness and suicide have somehow managed to die so young and abruptly. Juice not being an exception actually clearly predicted his inability to make it past 21 in the lyrics of one of his songs.

Though dying by seizure which we might consider w medical condition until cause of death is thoroughly determined , the 🌟 was said to have taken a very different way from other late rappers who were rather shot dead, it is unclear if it was all a natural occurance.

The singer specifically infact mentioned he wasn’t going to make it past 21. He wasn’t even in the middle of the age yet, he literally just turned 21 last Monday. This is saddening.

Now fans are concluding that these singers who are constantly rapping about suicide and death, are always ending up died. This is infact a proven fact form history. His death occured in Chicago Illinois, United States. I’m the early hours of today Sunday 8th December 2019. Rest in Peace to the singer 1998-2019..

According to #balleralert, America rapper with a bidding carrer, who literally just turned 21 last Monday, is said to have passed away. The singer had indeed been battling a medical condition on the low while pushing his career behind the scenes, and many didn’t really know about it.

The incident reportedly happened in Chicago Midway airport according to #Tmz_tv and #balleralert. According to them, his flight was from California and he landed early this sunday morning. After he got off the plane, witnesses say he suffered a seizure while walking through the airport while exiting.

Authorities report Juice Wrld was still conscious when he was taken to the hospital but passed away a short time later. His cause of death was not immediately reported.

Such a sad thing to see a young man’s life and career end so abruptly in the slightest way. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this heart ache. 🙏🏿

According to the gruesome news breaking early this weekend in Lagos State, the god of cleaner environment and climate change angels seems to have taken note of plastic producing company where a very unfortunate occured and leading to the loss of life of one of its worker.

The plastic producing factory known as Multiplak located in the state capital in Oregun Ikeja, was said to have been sealed off by Lagos State for violating safety procedure in the factory. According to the state authority, the preceding rules visibly broken were the poor housing keeping, absence of safety signage admist some other avoided safety practices that have lead to the unfortunate and untimely death of a worker known as Femi Olatunde who was said to have gotten his God given head stock while operating a heavy duty machine while led to his death.

According to Director General, Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC), Mojola, the State had declared zero tolerance on factories and private organisations that violate safety rules and regulations. .

According to him, on no account should any factory operate without putting in place safety equipment, quality house keeping, signage, good wiring system and clean environment devoid of hazards to the lives of workers and visitors.

Every rule or regulation known to have been created by man, was done because of the loss of life and property of man. It is said that a life had to be sacrificed in order for a factory to do what is right and act right according to safety. It is indeed sad to think that this man lost his life to help others get what they deserve at a work place. May his soul rest in peace with the Lord.

The Oputa Matriarch has bowed out of the race just like her famous husband. Charlie boy reportedly loses mum this week. Whole it wasn’t a news that made headline, many are nostalgic to the significance of the family in Nigeria. Charlie boy who has been in all kinds of bruhaha lately, was surprisingly silent when he lost his mum. Unlike his usual self, who is quick to announce or make public the recent happenings.

The Area Father of Abuja like he is popularly called, is now making it known thag he mother has always wanted a quiet life, and that has inturn made her request for a silent burial according to Charles Oputa, aka Charlie Boy.

He said his mother, Mrs Margaret Oputa, who passed on during the week, lived a fulfilled life, and saying although he was not in the country when she passed, he believed she was sent off with the right people by her side as his wife, daughters and grandchildren were with her at the time of transition .

The self-acclaimed president of all frustrated Nigerians said his mother died in her sleep and her death was worth celebrating. We wish them a depth of consolation only the good Lord gives.

The world we live in right now is incredibly, disturbingly scary. By speaking the truth about the tragic passing of a neighbor, this young Man has been sent to an early grave. This is horrible.

from @shaunking  – BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.
My friend and brother Bill Perkins @BillPerkins is providing $100,000 for the reward to help us find who murdered Joshua Brown.

Joshua was executed.

He was a lead witness in the murder of Botham Jean & was shot & killed right there in his apartment complex. We will not stop until we find who did this. Joshua had no enemies, no debts, worked full-time and lived a very quiet life.

This is an emotional moment in court where Joshua Brown talks about what he knew about Botham Jean. He breaks down and court has to go into recess. He was deeply effected by this murder. But by testifying that he could hear Botham singing in his apartment he undermines a key element of the defense. Amber claimed she shouted commands to Botham before shooting him. She didn’t. No one heard that. No neighbors. No passerby’s. Not Joshua as he walked down the corridor. No one. I just learned from the medical examiner that Joshua was shot in his mouth and his chest. He was ambushed at his apartment complex as he got out of his car and shot at close range. His mother asked that I do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of his murder. She suspects foul play and it is difficult to rule it out. He had no known enemies. He worked for a living. He was not in the streets. We need answers. Immediately.

Joshua Brown, the next door neighbor of #BothamJean, was reportedly shot and killed late Friday night near his apartment complex in Dallas, @lawandcrime reports.

Coincidentally, Joshua testified against Amber Guyger during her trial just days earlier. As we previously reported, Amber was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of Botham Jean. Please keep the families involved in your prayers, #Roomies. (📸: @lawandcrime)

Alagba, the 344-year-old tortoise in the palace of the Soun of Ogbomoso, #OyoState, is dead.

The scared tortoise which was the oldest in Africa, was sick for a few days before her death on Thursday.

Confirming the news of Alagba’s demise to the Nigerian Tribune, the Private Secretary to Oba Oyewumi, Toyin Ajamu, stressed that the tortoise, which attracted people from all over the world, will be greatly missed by everyone who came in contact with her during her lifetime.

According to Ajamu: “Alagba had lived in the palace for centuries. The tortoise played host to many monarchs in Ogbomoso in the past. Alagba became popular because Oba Oladunni Oyewumi, Soun of ogbomosoland, used his personal resources to cater for her well being.

The tortoise had two staff members of the palace dedicated to her. They provide food, health support and other logistics, so as to make sure she gets the best treatment. .

Often times, Kabiyesi shared great moments with Alagba. On a daily basis, Alagba, had tourists visiting her from different part of the world. The palace household, Ogbomoso community and stakeholders in the tourism sector are mourning Alagba’s passing.”

The palace secretary explained that plans were underway to preserve Alagba’s body for historical records.
