Top journalists, Azuh Arinze, the publisher of Yes International Magazine and Azuh Amatus, the publisher of an online Newspaper, Daylight have lost their younger sister, Azuh Augusta Chinonso to the cod hand of death. Augusta, who was a final year student of Olabisi Onabanjo University died in ghastly auto crash. Her grieving brother, Azuh Amatus has wrote down his feelings on his Facebook page. Continue to read his dirge…


Like rain drops, the tears won’t just stop flowing. In fact, since the sad news hit our entire family like a thunderbolt, it’s been weeping and wailing for me. And I have not stopped asking God why us.

Even though I have summoned the courage to make this painful and heart-rending news public, truth is, I still can’t believe my darling sister and our very affable and bubbly last born, Azuh Augusta Chinonso Jennifer is dead.

How can death be so cruel to snatch you away from us via a ghastly car accident in your prime?

Just few days to your 26th birthday and a couple of months to your graduation as a banking and finance final year student.

I’m devastated. God, please console and comfort my family in this trying moment.

For the first time in his innocent life, my first son, whom I named after you (Chinonso), also your birthday mate celebrated his birthday without your usual early morning calls and birthday songs.

I cried and was inconsolable when my son breezed into my room and asked: ‘’Daddy, won’t Aunty Augusta call me today to wish me happy birthday?’’

Quite painful, my son and the rest of the mourning Azuh family won’t hear that your lovely and sweet voice again.
You won’t even call me ‘’Bro Ama’’ again.

It has taken me days to write this because whenever I tried tears like rain drops keep blurring my vision. Never, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine you’d be stolen from us this soon without goodbye and hugs from all of us your siblings, especially our heart-broken and shattered mum.


Rest in peace dearest kid sister and may you find solace in the bosom of our Lord till we meet again.
