A graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Jotham Josiah, has died while waiting for mobilization by the National Youth Service Corps. It was gathered that Josiah was the only graduate in his family. The sad incident has left members of his family in serious tears.

In a tribute to him, a friend identified as Cyprian Ekwere wrote: “With pain in heart I don’t know how or where to start from. Jotham Josiah Dead! I think I am dreaming someone should please wake me up. He was my classmate, my roommate since 2010 and a friend just like a brother to me. Full of life and exciting to be with and very intelligent. The last time he called me he complain bitterly about NYSC mobilization list, now he is no more to be mobilize.

What a life, the first son and the only graduate in the family, how will the widow mother feels after investing so much to make best out of this beautiful soul. I remember how we use to suffer then, I remember the numerous nite class at MPH and management science. I can count more and more because this one really touches me. Speechless and heartbroken is me at the moment.

What is man that we make full of ourself. Empty we came and empty shall we return. Brother, I love you, but I surely know God loves you more. Rest on JOE.”
