i hope this is not the bawomolo that comes on nairaland ? he lives in illinois too

Damn Damn!! Please you guys should take your ridiculous points and arguments to another thread. Please just respect his memory and leave!

His friends and family described Awomolo as a bookworm who spent most of his time on his laptop computer. On his MySpace page, Awomolo said he liked to play video games and read war stories.

doing Nairaland

Its amazing the daft murafcker who started ranting about tribes is now preaching calm

What an ass

Who d fck are these sonafabitches?

Must u people post here. And to think the people derailing the thread do not know anythin about bawo, rubbish

We have heard u, thank u for ur condolences

Open a thread for ur rubbish and start ur tribal bullchyts

If this is real, my condolences to his family. 


He was a brilliant b.astard 

^^this just makes me appreciate life, ppl around me and NLders (even strangerf & mandigo's arses) more. life is precious and rather than leave the bitterness and tribalism alone and realise it, ppl are spitting on his grave in a sense.

@Mandigo

It's obvious you are African American, i dont blame you. And it's also obvious that you are still mad about slavery. Well i got news for you, slavery ended almost 200 years ago, why dont you guys quit blaming everybody for your problems. We have no hand in slavery neither did we sell any of your ancestors.You call us Nigerians lazy? Go to every Hospitals, Research institutes etc. If you find a black person there chances are he is a Nigerian. You guys sit in midst of Opportunity and yet instead of taking advantage of it, you blame the white men for all your problems. This young man that was murdered, is only 21 and already in Graduates school, Engineering for that matter! How many African-American household can you point to in America that has a child like that? If they are not robbing, they are blaming the white man. Let's all wait and see, i'm sure at the end of the day we will find out that it was one welfare-cashing drunk or high African American that killed this boy. I've worked in law enforcement in Texas, and i used to think that whites are the devils, maybe they are but the so-called African American are worse off. The only thing at the back of a young African American mind is sex, booze and night club. He has no innovations to improve himself or his society then when all else fails, he blames the white man or the immigrants. Calling Nigerians lazy? you must be high on your hood crack cocain or you must have been drinking that 40 ounce again. You ghetto id!ot.

This is so so sad. What a cruel world!!

The same Bawo who's always joking around, the one who I'm always arguing with on the NBA thread? I find this hard to believe, just don't want to believe this really happened to him. But yes, that's his picture.   He was only 21 for God's sake!!

May his soul rest in perfect peace. Ahhhh, I cannot begin to imagine how his family feels right now.

The people behind this must be rewarded in worse ways.

So Intelligent . . .RIP Bawomolo !

doing Nairaland  

Excuse me, he did not spend MOST of his time on nl. On the holidays, when school is out, yes.
Busayo was very smart and studious. Brilliant geek.
This world is just not fair.
I still can't believe it's HIM. What could he have done to anyone? It couldn't even be out of jealousy because he just doesn't even deal in that area.
Why couldn't it be one o those hooligans? He had it going, two more yes and he would have been THERE. Life is sick!

Wow! Wow!

strangerf:

White people, and other races, use guns sensibly, for the most part
The problem is AAs, for obvious reasons!

After reading this comment of yours, I got an instant headache. It reeks of stark idiocy.

Please, you and the others fuelling this silly discussion, should kindly piss off.

Bawo. . . . . you are remembered for your intelligence and ability to act far beyond your age. We live in a cruel world, and it is sad that the cruelty of this world had a cold hand on you at this young age of your life.

Adieu once again boy.

Are you people so heartless. . . one of us just got killed and you are here arguing rubbish ?

is dat wat his soul is worth ? some pile of doghead theories and arguments

please shut it and just mourn a fellow forumite

Mandingo is Nigerian.

obowunmi:

Mandingo is Nigerian.

I think he is a Nigerian too. He might be one of those Wannabes. A nigerian thinking he's AA. RIP Busayo!

Small world. Found out we even have mutual friends on facebook.

This is just sad.

Again, RIP

be strong, bro

+++

Ohhhhhh Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Such a young & intelligent chap! What a loss! OMG!  

He will surely be missed. My condolence to his family and those who are close to him - Spikey/Ileke

I came back thinking that he might have signed on and said it wasn't him. Hope they at least catch his killer. Maybe if they had called the cops he would have lived. Who knows how long he stayed there waiting for help. Nobody called the cops. Sometimes I lose hope for humanity

Come on people . . . someone we knew just died, shouldn't we at least put our disagreements aside.
At least just to act up for the parents and family of Bawo who'll definitely stumble upon the biggest Nigerian website's story on their son.

It's not fair on him, he's not just another statistic to be argued about, it's different.

We can argue on any other thread on Nairaland, this is different . . . please.
I don't even know him enough to claim that your actions hurt, but I do know it's disrespectful.

Exactly. That's my anger right now - the fact that the neighbors heard the gun shot but didn't call the police, only to give the information after his dead body had been found. My God! People are so heartless. And this 'no snitching' nonsense needs to stop. Imagine if this happened to the loved one of one of the neighbors. No empathy nowadays!

Feel so empty and desolate. Is really a futile life, dunno who is next or when is my turn.

Rest in Peace.

Be assured that whosoever killed you has murdered sleep and will sleep no more until nemesis catch up with him.

OMG Chicago again,

RIP homie

I won't get involved in all these messed up people and their rantings, Bawomolo is dead and unfortunately we can't bring him back, someone suggested NL remembering their own for good. There is a grieving family somewhere out there mourning a promising child snatched away too soon in such a cruel manner, is there a way we can collaborate with those who are closer to him to pass our condolences on to his family so that they know that their son touched others in his own unique way and is sadly missed by a good number of people on here?

@chiogo i think there should be a law, where uncooperative witnesses when indentified should be jailed and pay restitution to the victims' families for obstruction of justice!

really sad, dont know who he is, R.I.P

It is rather unfortunate that rude words should be traded on this thread given the present solemn circumstance.I would rather that folks should stop responding to those posts,I guess the posters will get tired out soon.

Do not keep the alabsater boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their live with sweetness. Speaking approving, cheering words while their EARS CAN HEAR THEM and while their hearts can be thrilled by them, Henry W Beecher

May we always endeavour to put a smile on a face no matter our differences,it may just be what may save a life or perhaps the last the person may smile,

speechless. . . . . so sad

RIP Bawomolo

This,

This isn't about anyone here, to the idiots, get over yourselves and your prejudices, or at the very least keep it away from this thread.
As if this young life being cut short isnt enough,

I feel numbed to even imagine that an air headed dolt would come here with all sorts of ethnic/bigoted statements. .

I am calling for a one day mourning for Late Bawolomo on NL,  . .that is, everyone abstains from opening new threads or making posts in any other thread save a condolence thread opened on his behalf.

This will drive home the point that Nairalanders feel the loss of a senior member and that we collectively condemn his the circumstances leading to his death.

NL being one of the biggest traffic drivers on a global scale is sure to pass our message across in clear terms.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with you but i find this idea impracticable
