“Chai!! What a wicked world??
“You were very healthy and happy when you came to proofread your forthcoming wedding program and jotter in my office yesterday that I asked you what the happiness was all about, you didn’t say anything but kept on smiling but I didn’t know it will be your last happy moment with me.
“When leaving my office yesterday after the proofreading, you promised to come back today and give us part of the money so that we will start producing the job as your wedding is in nine days time but late in the night, I received a call from one of your friends that someone shot you in your shop and you’re no more, I didn’t believe it until your wife called me at the early hour of today to inform me of your death.
“You were an easy going person and jovial, even in our primary and secondary school days, I had never seen you quarrel with anybody.
Chai! Your death hurt me to the marrow. God knows the best.
Adieu Isaac
Adieu Ochudo
Rest in peace my classmate.”
