#PiusAdesanmi Africa has lost a star. Shining with iridescent brilliance across many disciplines. Warm, compassionate & generous, giving of his mind, time & spirit. Nigeria has lost a TRUTH SAYER constantly aligning our broken moral compass. We have lost a friend & our muse. RIP

Ashes and dust.
Ashes and dust
That's all we are.
That's all we'll end up as.
The whys, wherefores, and hows won't always be clear.
Or be fair.
You knew this, & lived selflessly, Prof. Pius Adesanmi.
Rest in peace, soldier.
From dust we came.
To dust we return #PiusAdesanmi pic.twitter.com/jj8lTJHF6q

“…even there Your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me..”

Just yesterday morning.
And he’s gone today.
No words. Just no words.#PiusAdesanmi pic.twitter.com/nULBYJbVvG

And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

RIP #PiusAdesanmi
