Nigerians mourns over the death of Pius Adesanmi

Four years ago, one of the best person I’ve ever met died in a plane crash in Ethiopia. Since his demise, the gapping hole left in the public intellectual space could not be filled.

Pius Adesanmi is witty, humble, wise, sound and undoubtedly revolutionary in thought. He was also clairvoyant enough to predict his early demise from this earth (many times). Each time I hear of a pilot declaring an emergency they don’t tell the tower operators how many passengers they’re carrying on board, they normally say we have so so so “souls on board.” Now I understand why.

We lost a powerful soul on board that unfortunate Ethiopian Air Boeing 737 Max crash. May @Pius Adesanmi’s soul continue to rest in power!
