Nigerias pius adesanmi reportedly dies in ethiopian airlines plane crash
I'm so sorry to hear that. Pius Adesanmi was a renowned Nigerian scholar, writer, and academic who was known for his insightful writings and commentary on Nigerian politics and society. He was a professor of literature and African studies at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.
According to reports, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which crashed on March 10, 2019, killing all 157 people on board, included Pius Adesanmi among its passengers. The flight was en route from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Nairobi, Kenya when it crashed near the town of Bishoftu, Ethiopia.
Adesanmi was a prominent figure in Nigerian intellectual circles and was known for his sharp analysis of Nigerian politics and society. He was a regular contributor to various Nigerian newspapers and online publications, and was also a popular speaker at conferences and events.
His death is a significant loss to the academic and literary communities in Nigeria and beyond. He will be remembered for his insightful writings, his passion for education, and his commitment to promoting critical thinking and intellectual discourse in Nigeria.
My condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues who are mourning his loss. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
