To say the least, I am shocked to hear the sudden death of Engr Fred Ogbeide, a secondary class mate. Just yesterday we were discussing the epidemic of sudden death in Nigeria. Onyeka Onwenu and co. are the public figures we know. But there are other unknown figures who have equally died
You see someone today seemingly bubbling in the best state of health but tomorrow he is gone, snatched away by the icy hands of death. What is happening to us? I can give you names of people who have fallen victims of sudden death. Last week I was in Enugu only to see a big Billboard announcing the funeral rites of a sudden death victim Arch Ferdinand Aguh. Feddi was a friend. I chat with him regularly on WhatsApp. So his sudden death is unbelievable
So, what’s happening? We must start going for regular medical checkups. We must take this life easy. Running helter skelter for what? It is not worth the trouble. Preserve your health. Get enough sleep. And go home once you express any symptom of tiredness
I am not a medical doctor. So don’t take me seriously. But is it not common sense? It is.
