So 16 years old ever smiling Ajike hung herself on the tree behind her house.
Even jovial Apoti owo poisoned himself last week.
Who else remembered the ever hilarious Mr onikolobo who drowned himself in the ogba river.
Oh my heart breaks because we won't see these people anymore.
The earth wept the day they left this world.
They invited DEATH himself and danced vigorously to the beats of the other world.
Oh sacred, unseen messengers, pls usher them into your world with loud cymbals and drums made from fresh leather.
For they were royalty not by birth but because of their good deeds.
Oh sacred, unseen messengers, pls tell Ajike that the pregnancy that made her hang herself did not end her dreams and career, she did.
Please remember to also tell Apoti Owo that the failure he had in WAEC was never the end, he could have tried one more time or take one out of the 1 million ways to a better future.
Please do not forget to tell Mr Onikolobo that his cocoa warehouse that burnt down didn't steal his remaining years on earth, he did.
Please remind them that we mourned for several days after which life continued.
Let them know that we only remember them when we can for few minutes after which a sigh and a silent prayer of "REST IN PEACE" follows.
And let them be aware that we wish to know if they aren't being punished for taking the life they never gave.
