Life is short and brutish. Joy Ayoola Philip (the Iron
Lady), whom I fondly called “my joyful Joy”, died on Sept. 12, eight
days to her 25th birthday. Cause of her death is yet uncertain to us. Last
Monday, two days after her demise, her Germany visa was ready. She first told
me about her plans to relocate to Germany in March. I offered my advice to her
and she accepted it as usual. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, the visa
came when Joy’s corpse was lying in a morgue here in Abuja. The body was taken
to her hometown in Benue State on Friday and buried yesterday, the eve of her
25th birthday. Today is her first post-humous birthday!

Hmm! Rest in peace, my Iron Lady. I am sure you’re calling
(me) “T-ee-jaaay!”, as you did in your time, smiling at this post
right now inside the hammered box your remains will forever live in.
