“I am sorry my lovely parents-dad and mum. I know this will hit you hard. You loved me. You sacrificed for me. You raised me and educated me selling the little you had ranging from chickens, goats, cows to even land. It is a pity that am gone without having given back to you. Sorry. I know you will weep and bleed in your hearts. May God console and do you all I would have done. Forgive me. I am sorry my dear brothers and sisters. You always looked up to me. I was greatly indebted to you being the first born who depleted most of our humble family resources. But despair not God won’t disappoint you. Work hard. Succeed and raise each as it has always been the practice in our love shrouded family. Forgive me. I am sorry my relatives-uncles and aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. Forgive me.” He wrote.

He also raised issues with his love life, which is suspected to have been the final push, “ I am sorry my special friend. I am sorry my love. I am sorry Sharon. You loved me. You counseled me. You encouraged me in my lows. I will forever miss you. Most importantly, l am sorry if i hurt you so much that you had to treat me in such a manner of condemnation, disrespect and ruthlessness. You heavily hurt and broke my heart. I forgive you though. Am sure one day you will also forgive me.”
