Professor X said...

As far as I'm concerned, there's an African factor involved. One of my colleagues died a week after our call to bar too. People keep inviting their whole village for call to bar. Only my parents were invited by me. I know it sounds crazy superstitious but jazz is very much alive and well in these parts. People don't want to see u succeed or do better than their own kids. They do jazz for the most ridiculous reasons. This boy's story is so so painful. May his soul rest in peace. God will serve justice.

The thief cometh to steal, kill n destroy...
oh dear, what a waste!
some of these things r spiritual. u do not need to offend anybody before they seek to destroy ur soul. just ur profound success n prosperity alone is annoying to evil ones. too sad.
We all need to be very prayerful.
RIP LAWAL

His case is 'HOT JAZZ'! He's a fantastic swimmer so he couldn't easily have 'drowned' just like that. He's won a high profile election petition case already at the Supreme Court. So sad.

''Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsesmen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Isreal, niether seek the LORD!'' (Isaiah 31:1). May his soul rest in peace. But let us learn from this tragedy.

I dont know what to say, omg!
I lost my classmate obinna through the same manner.we finished our masters in law here in the Uk, he travelled back to Nigeria and the next thing we heard was drowning in a pool. Also an extremely brilliant guy.
May God help us and may he heal the family of Lawal, its such a terrible loss.

Such a sad and unfortunate loss. His name was Lawi danjuma chigebe though..not lawal. And he was son to the acting chief judge of Adamawa state where he hails from. Its so sad.. He carted away 7of the nearly 14 awards and was rumored to have secured admission at the prestigious Harvard University. Such is life.

Na wah 4dis kind death ooo! You sure say hand no de? Accidental drowning, a full grown man? I doubt. There is more to his death. But if its really nature's call, quite painful and sad. You never know the ways of God. May his soul RIP.

May Almighty God grant ur family d fortitude to bear ur loss. Rest in Peace Lawi Chibege Danjuma.

@Owoseni Oluwatosin@10.11AM, are you sure you were definitely called to the bar?? If so, you should go back to the Nigerian Law School and ask for your money back- you can't spell and you can't write properly yet you call yourself a lawyer?? You are an insult and a disgrace to the legal profession. To all potential clients, please take note before you go to Owoseni Oluwatosin for any form of legal advice as it will sure land you in trouble!

Anon 3:06- kilode? Na fight? Haba! Why all these insults. Make your points and leave it at that. And for your information, i know Tosin quite well, and one thing that warmed me to her was her spoken english. I know gried can make one disoriented and i dont blame her one bit. Lest i forget, dont u ever dare insult any graduate of the law school. U have no idea what it takes to be there and pass.. Its no piece of cake and thats why Lawi's death got to us. Please stand corrected. Cheers.

I did not know him but it is too painful for me to even comment again because it will not bring him back. R.I.P and my deepest condolences to your family especially your mother and father! Anyone that had a part in your death may they not know peace until their 100th generation.
