How woman's cousin died in mortuary

In a TikTok post, the woman, @autismloveandlight, whose uncle died of cancer, said her big cousin began complaining of having a headache, before he died in the same Ijebu Ode mortuary.

She lamented that her deceased cousin left behind a child who is not up to three years old, and the finances he had cried out to God for.

The woman, still struggling to come to terms with the sad reality, said she couldn't say rest in peace to her late cousin and questioned the essence of life. She wished he would return to life.

Her full statement read:

"I have not had my bath today. My big cousin died yesterday. The day Buhari died is when he died.

"Guess what? He was taking my uncle, who died yesterday, to a mortuary in Ijebu Ode, and he also died in the same mortuary in Ijebu Ode. Psychologically, I am not okay. I never bath today. I just dey wonder na so life be.

"As in, he just slumped. Like, slumped. Slumped oh, and that was it. That was it. He was complaining about headache, headache, headache, and before you know it, omo! This my cousin has been, you know, childless for over 20 years and God just gave him a child.

"Pikin never even reach three years old. God, what is this? Sometimes, I wonder what is in this life?

And this is when he's supposed to be enjoying the fruit of his labour, and death took him away in the same mortuary, where he carried my uncle who had cancer and died of the cancer.

"Most of our men don't pay attention to signs in their body. They always believe they are okay as long as they are breathing. Headache is a sign that something is sinister. My Bro in Law saw signs and he ignored in 2021 and he eventually had stroke at age 40 but God showed him mercy after emergency brain surgery. He just slumped and couldn't move all his left part of his body. MRI showed stroke. Sorry for your losses."
