So you were actually passing a farewell message while we were all trapped in oblivion?

How best does one describe your patriotism, academic ingenuity and didacticism, valour in speaking truth to power, moral uprightness and support for progressive causes?

” The mind that has been manufactured to constantly justify, rationalize, explain, and identify with every horror while criminalizing the faintest manifestation of critique is the greatest threat to the emergence of a new Nigeria.” – @pius_adesanmi
