Today marks the end of the 3 day mourning period declared by the Federal Government of Nigeria for the 153 souls lost on board Dana Air flight 992 on Sunday, the 3rd of June, 2012. Sunday afternoon at 4pm, death fell from the sky, taking all 153 souls with it.
Earlier that weekend, on Friday afternoon, a cargo plane from Lagos, Nigeria had crashed in Ghana, killing 10.
And on Sunday morning, a church was bombed in Northern Nigeria.
They called it Black Sunday on Twitter.
We, as a nation and a people, lost our loved ones, our children, mothers, wives, brothers and fathers.
Our hearts were broken.
Our weeping will stop one day, I know, but in the meantime...we mourn.
The fallen.
The innocents.
The Children.
And in our hearts, we honour them.
May their souls rest in perfect peace.
