At half mast

Yes it's very sad. Stella Obasanjo and 117 other people did not see the light of day on the first working day of the week. The nation mourns. Three days of mourning have been declared for them all. I stop to say a short prayer for their bereaved families.
One thing is evidently strange about life, and that is the fact that no matter who it is that dies, life goes on. Except for the families of those who lost their lives, everyone is back to his/her normal business. So much for national mourning.
I was almost closely affected. My Sunshine's brother-in-law was supposed to be on that flight but he forgot his file in the office. According to him, his mission in Abuja will be useless if he doesn't take his file with him. So he had to rush to the office to get it. Thus, he missed the flight. He also missed the death. His family and I together missed years of mourning and crying. Glory be to the Almighty God.
So please my loved ones, as much as you have the capability, try and stay alive. 'Cos if you're dead, that's the end.
The main things that shows that the nation is mourning are various flags flying at half mast at various posts. Otherwise, life goes on.
