Nigeria: Herbert Is Gone, Long Live Herbert

[This Day] Ever since February 10, 2024, when I learnt of the tragic death of Herbert, his dear wife, Chizoba; his son, Chizi; and our mutual friend, Bimbo, I have been wanting to write to pay tribute to Herbert, eulogise and mourn him. Each time I picked up a pen to write, I found the journey from pen to paper too tortuous and arduous … until today! Just a few hours ago, Herbert was interred along with Chizoba and Chizi. A few days earlier, Bimbo was interred. My prayers are for a peaceful repose of their souls.
