RIP.

So always painful how the hardworking Nigerian men who have kept the Nigerian flag flying outside the shores, did die in a plane crash. While the ones spoiling the name of the country always have safe trips.

Mompha, the other yahoo guys and drug carriers no dey get plane crash. But why this very intelligent man?
