WHAT A PAINFUL EXIT!!!!!

PREAMBLE:

 Like the tendril of water-yam planted in a very fertile and well-nourished ground which sprouts, bubble with life and size reminiscent of growing to a colossal magnitude, Ndukwe Ikpo Anya sprouted out of his mother’s  womb and started growing into huge, gigantic size, towering above  most of his peers.

Also like flower which blossoms in life, appearing as if it will never wither, but soon goes down when the sun rises, Ndukwe bubbled, raising the hope of all without complaining of the slightest headaches, without warning, without complaining once of stomach ache, high or low blood pressure, without bidding good-bye to even his wife and children; then suddenly dashed and crashed out of existence like a whirlwind to the undecipherable great beyond.
