Other members of the family that lost their lives in the accident that occurred along Aleyede and Oturkpo in Benue State on Sunday include her parents, Mr Simon and Mrs Ifeoma Onwubalili, and her sister, Grace Onwubalili.
According to The Punch, the victims were indigenes of Ufuma in the Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, but were based in Jos, Plateau state.
They were headed to Anambra for Ijeoma’s traditional wedding scheduled for December 31 when the accident occurred.
The driver of the car and one of the family members, Marvel Onwubalili, survived the accident.
God!!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart bled when I first read this story on ig. So sad
DeleteOh so sad.
DeleteWhy does the driver always survived? Most of the fatal accident that lost most of the passengers always have the driver as the sole survivor and that puzzles me
DeleteO my heart bleeds. My Jos people and noble colleague.
DeleteWhat a sad news!!!
DeleteO Gosh!!
What a painful death
.
omG.......such sad news!!
ReplyDeleteI heard this gist yesterday and my hubby hasn't remained the same, it's his relative and the driver they employed to convey them kept on speeding. It was supposed to be a big wedding but the devil came and did his own. To think they have lost 4 other people from their fathers family this year, it's so painful
DeleteThey lived in Kubwa o, which jos? And it's a toddler that survived, I don't know who would take care of that baby now
DeleteLived in kubwa? No, they even have a house in jos, she schooled in unijos before she left for anambra but returned to jos after her induction unless they relocated recently but then again they were traveling from jos to the east...
DeleteOver speeding is not good, they won't hear. That is how the devil use the driver. I hate it when drivers speed too much. I am always complaining and shouting when I am in a car and the driver is speeding but sometimes the other occupants in the car won't even caution the driver as if they are enjoying the speed. Just a little mistake,it will be had I know. Rip to the Ifeoma and her family. This is very painful
DeleteOh sorry it's the uncle, Bueze who lives in Kubwa
DeleteJEEZ.THIS is so so saddddddd, four people in one family? what a great loss.

ReplyDeleteHoly Sonnets:
ReplyDeleteDeath, be not proud BY JOHN DONNE
Death, be not proud, though some have called
thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost
overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures
be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more
must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and
desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness
dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
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 to the deceased...
ReplyDeleteThat Makurdi road is a death trap. in 1997 I was travelling to get my result from my secondary school to present at my new school screening. Driver was on high speed and would not listen and we ended up with a terrible accident. God is great we all survived but today I can't get pregnant cos my reproductive organs was highly affected. See how great lives are being wasted because of a horrible country. what a loss. RIPP.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that...
DeleteI can only imagine how you feel.
It is well with Nigeria o!
Thought its her sister's wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tragedy. Me I don't travel during xmas/new year. I even hate travelling in general, much less festive period.
May their souls rest in peace. The sister would be feeling beyond distraught right now.
I read it was a day after her birthday, that the accident occurred. On her way to her sister's wedding.
ReplyDeleteWhatver happened... its just heart breaking!
Her birthday was Christmas day. Accident happened on the 24th of December. Cold shiver... This life is deep.
DeleteJesus Christ jesus jesus..
ReplyDeleteThen some buffoons will still come here and blame,insult and curse those Ibos that decide to have their traditional marriage here is Lagos. Just look at this. Rest in Peace to the dead.
ReplyDeleteDis is so so sad. Dis life enh, sometimes I dont just understand
ReplyDeleteWhat a great loss. May our blood never be used for the yuletide Amen.
ReplyDeleteNa wa ooo. This one is serious village people.
The driver survived? why did he not follow them. stupid and careless drivers everywhere.
Oh Lord! this is sad. May God rest their souls.
ReplyDeleteSo sad!!!
ReplyDeleteMay their souls rest in Peace.
Gosh! Nothing compares to the pain the bereaved must be feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
May the souls of the departed rest in the bosom of the Lord.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if she was reported as going for NYSC, the post would have been littered with "Scrap NYSC", |what is the benefit of NYSC", "when are they scrapping this NYSC", so why aren't there posts saying the traditional marriage ceremony at the village should be scrapped?
Why?
Igbo people stop travelling home for traditional marriages. It can be done wherever your parents resides. It's so annoying! Rip to the family
ReplyDeleteMay their soul RIP.
