Yesterday, I was on the bbm with one of my friends. He was telling me about his friend that died. I asked the usual questions, sent my condolences, and got back to what I was doing. hours later, I found out on twitter that he was dead. A few minutes later, I realize that he was the friend my friend was referring to. It took a minute to sink in.
His was one of the first blogs I happened upon when I started blogging, and also my first and biggest blog crush. I didnt get to meet him, and I only got to find out his true identity yesterday (which is partly why he was my biggest blog crush)
So the question remains, how do you know when a blogger dies? Especially when someone has not updated their blog in months...or even years?
When I first began blogging (feels so good to say that, like I've been at it for ages instead of a lousy four months) I had visions of having a wide, diverse readership, of writing such powerful, thought-provoking pieces, influenceing the world with my ideas and ideals, providing a forum for the misdirected, uninspired louts from whose ranks I had risen, to be heard everywhere around the globe...(well, apparently, that ain't happening... - Ozaveshe
Nonso, you influenced a lot of people with your writings, and you'll forever live on through your words.
Rest in Peace, The cunning Linguist.

N aka Ozavs was a great writer.
Sad. We'll miss him.
One thing that needs clearing up though...his last post was in 2008. When did he pass? 2010 or 2008?
RIP to the blogger who passed on. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Its nice to see that you left nice memories with what you wrote about even when your readers didn't know who you are.
"...how do you know when a blogger dies?" we may never know.
However, even when one updates not, the comfort of the persons writings are always timeless.
@ Tobenna..he died this year
@ Bumight..you would have fallen for him if you met him, he was a joy to be around. Feels like he's just out of my reach..
RIP.
It's true though, their work never dies.
May God comfort his family...
And Tisha, i'm with you on that!
