  • Such is life.. Where is all the wealth, money, power and influence? Now it’s between him & his Creator. Life is Vanity Upon Vanity.. 😫😫😫

  • That's how, Muslims faithful usually does, but the question you should ask is why do we violate the laws we create.All COVID 19 victims abroad are not released to family but here the case is different.Where is the ban on social gathering, burials? Where is the social distancing?

  • Abba Kyari was not buried like a common man. Recall that several other persons have died of COVID-19 in Nigeria and none of them were given the type of respect accorded to Kyari. Recall his body was moved from Lagos to Abuja which would not have happened to any ordinary man. A large crowd also attended his burial breaking several regulations. In summary, Kyari lived his last days for our country. Although, several persons may blame him for several public policies. But the late Kyari did his best for the good of Nigeria. He also contacted COVID -19 while in the line of duty. May his gentle soul rest in peace, Amen.
