Heartbreaking! Two Close Friends Die Just Days Apart From Each Other
A dark cloud was cast over Facebook yesterday, when a much loved social media personality, Barrister Roseline Udoh suddenly passed away.
It was a moment of grief and shock as the news filtered in that Roseline Udoh would never post her witty lines nor fill the social media space with her positive spirit.
What made her death even harder to swallow for her loved ones, was that she died just 2 days after posting a tribute to her late friend.
This is the tribute she wrote for her close friend Hadiza who passed away just days ago;
“When we took these pictures few weeks ago in Amsterdam, little did we know what was coming. You were so easy to get along with, calm, gentle natured, great sense of humour, accommodating, very caring…
I remember jokingly telling you at the mall “,Hadiza life is short o, let’s spend this money while we are still alive”. And we both laughed about it
If only we knew how prophetic those words were…
Who knew that when you put up that Facebook post two days ago asking us to pray for you that it would be your last?
My heart bleeds for the two young children you left behind. You lived your life for those kids.
I’m so numb right now, been numb since I heard the news today.
Indeed, life is so short!Good night Hadiza Bomai…good night.”
As if she had an inkling of what was to come, she made a post telling her friends to live for today and live for themselves;
“Life is too short… Dont put off anything you really want to do till tomorrow cos you are not guaranteed tomorrow. The sooner you realise this, the less you will worry about living your life to please people. Its all you. YOU are all that matters.
You owe only YOU the responsibility to be happy.”
A friend of Rose, Amarachi Celine wrote this heartrending dirge to Roseline;
“You posted ‘Goodbye World!’ Yesterday.
Not even upto a minute you posted it…
I tried asking you ‘What happened? Hope all is well? Hope you are safe?
But FB keep telling me that there’s problem commenting.
I never knew that’s when you truly left the world.
I kept on trying to send message across to you but it still not going, I gave up.
I was thinking its all prank! ????????????????????
Oh my heart! ????????????
Its just hard for me to tell you Goodbye Roseline Udoh
Oh my God!”
See some screen shots:
Life is short. In the words of Roseline Udoh, you are not guaranteed tomorrow so live for yourself and love ourself.
so sad
Wow….I heard about her during the weekend and it’s so sad.
This is sad. May their souls rest in peace.
