There is a common saying that ‘death is inevitable’ and whether rich or poor, old or young, every soul will eventually bid the world goodbye at a point in their earthly sojourn.
Like previous years, quite a number of Nigerians had to say the final goodbye to some of their family members even though they would have preferred not to.
And just like regular citizens, those in the public eye also lost loved ones to the cold hands of death and one can only imagine how hard it must have been for them to keep up appearances.
