[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

Hell no! I forbid the news of his death on that plane crash to be true! He is my "intellectual opponent". I want him alive and healthy for more "intellectual squabbles"!

CAO.

[K. Gozie Ifesinachukwu]

Oh no.

OMG!!! I'm dumbfounded. It better not be. I'm waiting for Pius to lampoon us tomorrow and write that the news of his death was a little exaggerated. I saw the lone Nigerian on the list of the crash victims and prayed it would not be someone I knew or knew of. Oh Lord, please console us and teach us to console each other! I just don't know what to say . . .

It is very sad that Pius was listed among the victims of the tragic plane crash. This reminds me of his narrow escape about a year ago or so when he was involved in a ghastly accident in Nigeria. 

We mourn his tragic end and pray that such a thing doesn't happen to any of us in this family forum. Aase Edumare. We pray for his family and relations. 

May his soul rest peacefully with his Ancestors.

​World is a market and Heaven is home. We all come to this world to trade and when the time comes each one of us shall definitely return home, to heaven. Despite the fact that we all know that this world is not our home, it hurts deeply that Pius Adesanmi left the market so early in the morning instead of, as usual, at sunset to return home.

​Death is irrational in action. It will leave the sick and kill the doctor; leave the weak and kill the strong; leave parents and kill their child; leave the old and kill the young; and leave the wicked and kill saints. Death is the ultimate end of each one of us, masters and slaves, as well as, the rich and impoverished. Death is nothing to joke with as it will certainly strike at everyone of us even though we do not know when, where and how it is going to strike us. May the soul of Pius Adesanmi rest in peace.

​S. Kadiri
