Let's all pray this trend stops

The sudden demise of Dr. Obasan last night makes it the third lecturer OOU will be losing this year. Three months, three lecturers! Since the June 12 accident that lead to the loss of so many OOU students, our great institution has lost a considerable amount of students. Last year alone, there was hardly a week goneby that there won't be an OOU student declared dead or missing. the trend went on for so long that even the OOUreporters team was contemplating whether to keep reporting these sad events or not. but our duty of keeping oouites inform gave us little choice. I remembered a lot of departments organizing prayer session to pray for themselves and others.

This year has hardly started when Mr. Desu an accounting department lecturer was reported dead. The grief wasn't over when Prof. Ajayi demise news arrived and in the night of the day Prof. Ajayi was buried, Dr. Obasan death news came in. These are not ordinary lecturers, these are lecturers whose absence will be felt so many years. Is it Mr. Desu who unlike every lecturer takes his courses as if he was teaching or Dr. Obasan who I've never seen with a note while lecturer?

While all these are happening no one can say. How all this are happening, no one can tell. All we know is we are tired of losing our wonderful lecturers not to talk of our friends. We pray to the Almighty to please make this the end of such news.
