Two
brothers namely Marvelous and Godspower lost their lives when they were
washed away by waves at Lagos Lagoon during Independence Day celebrations on
October 1, 2016. Below is how Onwuasoanya Fcc Jones narrated the story on Facebook:
Could there be a worst tragedy than having to see your grown up
children taken away, just when you are so sure you have got them for keeps? At
11 and 14 years of age, parents have started rejoicing and even counting the
days on when to start reaping the fruits of their investment on their children.
But when the wicked hands of death chose such a time in their lives to snap
them away, then there is little condolences can do.
When I spoke with these children's mother few minutes ago, I
didn't find the right words to express my condolences, nor soothing words to
comfort a her for the loss of her children. It would have been easier if these
children were sick, but for children who returned from school and went out to
play, only to be reported missing and after two days, their corpses were
recovered from a lagoon, I do not know of a worst heartbreak.
When I brought the bitter news of the disappearance of these two
angels to our notice, yesterday, I didn't tell us then, how closely connected
to the case I am. Marvellous and Godspower were my wife's first cousins. Theirs
is that kind of family, you never get to know whose child is who, as cousins
relate so closely more than some siblings.
Nda Chioma, their mother is a fine soul, and the last of my
mother-in-law's siblings. Beautiful like all of them. Young and hardworking,
she had the best dreams for all her children, including these boys who have now
joined God in Heaven.
We can only imagine the pains of their parents, but we should
never pray to come close to such experience in this life. This is the kind of
thing that tempt one to question God, but God knows everything and whatever He
allows, he knows the reasons for sure. I am sure these boys are in Heaven with
their Creator, my prayer is that God gives the parents, especially their mother
the strength to beat this grievous loss.
