As I read the message, a wave of shock engulfed me, leaving me numb. Cold sweat drenched my body, and my heart raced in my chest. Panic seized me as I frantically tried to confirm whether the news was true, clinging to a desperate hope that it was all a mistake, that somehow, Victor hadn’t really passed away.
In the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where we both studied law, I wasn’t particularly close to him. But circumstances brought us together for a brief stint in our bid to be admitted into a somewhat prestigious club. Victor and I would often share conversations about how we can do some good and fight injustice in the larger society. During the grueling process of the interview, Victor was a solid rock of encouragement. Although brief, the interaction with him during this period was deep.
If we had met, we would definitely have discussed business and potential collaborations. I would have sought his views on the impact of our sluggish and mostly inefficient judicial system on his finances, knowing he was a courtroom lawyer. I imagine we would have engaged in some debate about our courts being able to apply the law to dispense justice.
And even as Victor has closed the last chapter of his earthly life, may God Almighty open new vistas of hope and succor to his wife and children whom he left behind.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
