That event is now about 38 days away. William Shakespeare wrote in Romeo and Juliet: “Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books.” That is how I look forward to my next endeavours, after serving in government for eight years.
For Louis, For Emma

Monday March 15, 2021, we woke up to the sad news of the shocking demise of a long time colleague and friend, Louis Okoroma. He was reportedly at work in the Atiku Media Office, AMO, for short, in Abuja, on Wednesday March 10, 2021. For the better part of the last decade, he was on the staff of AMO.
Paul Ibe, head of the Atiku Media Team who announced Okoroma’s departure, noted that he was his lively self that day and wished his colleagues a nice weekend as he left the office. Within the next 24 hours, however, Okoroma was no more.

Tuesday, March 30, 2021, which coincidentally, was my birthday, another one hit me from the page of a WhatsApp chatroom to which the departed Okoroma also belonged. A post by a member of the platform had expressed sadness at the demise of Emmanuel Ekwueme Ugorji. I subsumed my disbelief under the fact that I knew Emmanuel Ugorji but didn’t know Emmanuel Ekwueme Ugorji.
