A journalist shared this on his Facebook page. May all our dreams come true in our life time.
"Life
is short and brutish. Joy Ayoola Philip (the Iron Lady), whom I fondly
called “my joyful Joy”, died on Sept. 12, eight days to her 25th
birthday. Cause of her death is yet uncertain to us. Last Monday, two
days after her demise, her Germany visa was ready. She first told me
about her plans to relocate to Germany in March. I offered my advice to
her and she accepted it as usual. Unfortunately, as fate would have it,
the visa came when Joy’s corpse was lying in a morgue here in Abuja. The
body was taken to her hometown in Benue State on Friday and buried
yesterday, the eve of her 25th birthday. Today is her first post-humous
birthday!
Hmm! Rest in peace, my Iron Lady. I am sure you’re
calling (me) “T-ee-jaaay!”, as you did in your time, smiling at this
post right now inside the hammered box your remains will forever live
in.
Sun re o, aburo. (Sleep well, Sister) You’ll be sorely missed."
