Renowned Nigerian media figure Nnamdi Nwabasili, widely recognized as N6, has recently opened up about the profound sorrow he feels over the passing of his father.
N6 shared his poignant experiences in an online grief diary, detailing the emotionally charged moment when he placed his father’s body in a Lagos mortuary.
During this process, he was required to sign a sizable ledger that documented the details of those who had passed, including their ages.
As he filled out the register, N6 observed a striking pattern: a significant number of the deceased were notably young, with ages spanning from their teenage years to early sixties.
He noted with some surprise that his father, who lived to 82, was among the oldest individuals recorded on several pages of that ledger.
He also recounted witnessing the arrival of a young man who had reportedly died from a drug overdose earlier that morning, an incident that deeply affected him as he watched the boy’s father break down in grief.
The experience, he said, served as a sobering reminder of how fragile life can be and urged young Nigerians to take their health and well-being seriously.

“Grief Diary Entry:
As a young Person living in Nigeria, Pls take your Life and Your Health very Serious. The morning When I went to deposit my Father’s body at the Mortuary I signed a Massive Ledger Book. Where you put down all the information about the deceased especially the Age that they were at Passing. I noticed that Most people in Lagos are dying at 9, 14, 23, 31, 44, 47, 51, 56, 61. My father passed on at 82 yrs old. He was the oldest death there by many pages. They also brought in a Young Muslim Boy who had died of a Drug Overdose that morning at 22 yrs old. I remember His aged father randomly kept crying out “How was he still taking hard drugs during Ramadan?” If you never bury Pesin you no go know say many people dey die Daily. 😢💔 We all think we have Time and we will all live till we are old and Grey but That Ledger book was a very Jarring experience. People are dying EARLY AF. A 60 yr old in Nigeria now is technically an elderly person. Pls Take your Life and your Health very Serious IF YOU ARE A NIGERIAN LIVING IN NIGERIA. #RIPSirClem 😢💔🕊️”
