As the rumor of his death spread from campus to campus, we all mourned as much as we hoped the news was not true. upon hearing a confirmed communicate of his death am moved to say, its indeed the worst that can happen and as a christian am reminded to say we all live on a borrowed life timeline and that we are to never take anything for granted, also we should never forget the almighty has a plan for all, even in this tragedy lets thank the almighty for his life journey (John Paul usman -the Nigerian Fellow),lets thank him for our life and stand in prayer with the family asking God to give them the strength and grace to instead celebrated his departed life.
