My expensive brother and pal, Don Zednas Snr, once I heard of your surprising dying, it came to me as a rude surprise. They advised me that you committed suicide. I could not assist but cry. You're a colourful younger man complete with power and backbone. You and I went to the IYC National Convention at Sagbama collectively and we talked and talked and mentioned how beautiful the destiny is for us. Today, you are no extra.

TO THE LIVING
I recognize despair is real, however suicide is in no way an choice. Don't envy everyone, do not be in a competition with all of us due to the fact there's no opposition in future. Heart breaks can be survived, financial challenges are surmountable, marital demanding situations are a part of life, no female is barren, you too can have your own Children, you too may have your personal husband and spouse. No count the challenges, there is usually an possibility for growth. I repeat, FORGET WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA!! MOST OF IT ARE FAKE, MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE!!

Finally, I'll go away you all with one in every of my favored prices, "do not examine your progress with that of others, all of us have our personal time to travel our very own distance".

Rest on my brother until me meet once more.
