The Uncertainty Of Life And The Certainty Of Death.
The obscurity of life is ultimately what defines and elevates our journey, despite the fact that it is terrifying. It forces us to confront our fears, test our limits. Fearlessly and resolutely we embrace the unknown by accepting and appreciating the uncertainties of life. So we can gain a greater knowledge of the fragility and importance of each moment we are given.
Life is an unexpected series of events and situations that take place the minute we are born until the day we pass away. Uncertainty in life is a natural and constant part of human experience. The truth is that life frequently has other plans for us no matter how we plan.

Emeka shared information on the voyage he was going to take in a post on Facebook. He posted on Facebook informing his Facebook friends that he will be travelling to the USA to pursue his master's degree. His friend Kaki contacted him that same day at night, picked him up later, and they left for a night out. Later, the same acquaintance dropped him off, and he went to sleep. The scream from his room startled members of his household. They hurried to his room and kept banging. He was asked to open the door, but he was unable to, he wasn't strong enough to stand on his heels. As a result, they broke into his room and saw him lying helplessly on the floor, his pupils dilated. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where the staff members did everything they could to save his life, but they were unable. His family member reported that he was vomiting an offensive substance mixed with clothed blood before he passed.That led to the speculation that his death may have been orchestrated by evil person or individuals.

Early the next morning, the town crier called for a community members gathering at the village square. The local elders called for Kaki to be questioned. He was the last to call Emeka and also the last to be seen with him. When some young people questioned Kaki, he admitted that the only wrongdoing he had done was to steal his friend's ATM card and withdraw all the money from his account while his friend was lying dead in the morgue. As a result of his decision to steal from the dead rather than mourn his friend's death, he was charged with knowing the cause of death. Some believed that he was poisoned during their time out. Some said that bad person(s) with some dark forces played a role in his death. Others questioned why he felt the need to make his journey so public, knowing that while some people will be delighted for him, others will beat their chest and pledge by all cost to prevent this life changing journey he was about to embark on. They concluded that he was murdered by some sinister, wicked individuals. !He was murdered by an evil arrow" I overheard someone say.
The village head called the cops to intervened and save Kaki just as he was about to be attacked by a mob, for his safety, he was taken to the police station. The deceased's family pledged to perform an autopsy to determine his cause of death.
