Christopher Omeje, 19, died on June 30, 2009. Cause of death? SARS.
Christopher lived in Ovoko, a town in Igbo Eze South Local Government of Enugu State, where he attended the Boys Secondary School.
He loved to read and excelled academically. He read anything, at any time. Labels, books, receipts, anything.
When the time for his Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) drew near, Christopher begged his father, Dominic Omeje, to get him a room in a house close to his school to enable him to study for his exams without distraction. His father obliged and found for him a house, paying the rent for a year.
