“It’s even more irritating that most of his colleagues started posting about his death and how they are pained, barely an hr after the first news was going viral…. I stand corrected but who truly makes post when they are still in shock or mourning? Like within mins/hrs of the news???? No confirmation or anything?! Humanity has been reduced to SOCIAL MEDIA RELEVANCE ONLY… The af ♀️♀️♀️ and now this one is posting his cold body without recourse to the pain the family is going through. Honestly we perish for lack of WISDOM. Rest Easy JP .”
