Spring, wilted rose,
Why she was taken,
Nobody knows,
Too much sorrow, to take in.
A young lady went missing in one of the suburbs of Lagos State, Nigeria. And for eleven days family and friends went by all out. Sadly, her remains were found in a filthy canal, after she was washed away in a flood when attempting to cross a street on a commercial motorcycle.
All hope came to nought as news of her untimely demise filtered in.
Another one on your hands, Nigeria! May her spirit never give all of you that have made motorcycle a major means of transportation in Nigeria and made our roads deathtraps.
