Air turbulence is a very real concern for travelers. Caused by a variety of natural factors, turbulence can bring anxiety, fear, and sometimes genuine injury.

But following a successful ceremony, the 33-year-old heaved a sigh of relief as he returned home in a very much friendly weather as he said the journey was better.

Nigeria’s sporting community was hit with the sad news of the death of Jessy Onyekuru, the mother of Nigeria Super Eagles player Henry Onyekuru, back in April.

The news of death of Onyekuru’s mother was broken by his Turkish Super Lig club Galatasaray on their social media platforms.

The Nigerian footballer who recently signed a permanent deal at Olympiacos lost his beloved mother back in April during the closing stages of last season.

Following the conclusion of the football season, the Nigerian footballer has returned home for the burial ceremony of his late mother which held in Owerri.
