For over three and a half decades, our lives were graced by a shining star, a shinning example of compassion, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to the greater good. Dr Shuaibu Musa, your life was a testament to the transformative power of dogged determination, commitment, learning, and service.
As a consultant pediatrician, your healing touch and gentle care nurtured not only the bodies but also the souls of countless children. Your passion for healing was matched only by your passion for knowledge, as you continually sought to expand your understanding of the human experience.
As a lifelong student of wisdom, your voracious appetite for reading and learning devoured topics ranging from the intricacies of the human heart to the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Your mind was a sanctuary of curiosity, a temple of wisdom, and a beacon of inspiration to all who knew you.
As a social commentator, your words were a clarion call to justice, a reminder that our humanity is measured by our ability to love, to care, and to serve. Your writing was a testament to the power of ideas, a celebration of the human spirit, and a reminder that our lives can be a testament to the transformative power of love.
But beyond your remarkable accomplishments, it was your heart that made the most profound impact. Your listening ear, your comforting embrace, and your unwavering support were a sanctuary of strength, a reminder that we are never alone. You were a rock, a confidant, and a true friend in every sense of the word.
In your dignified silence, we saw the reflection of our own potential, a reminder that we too could be instruments of altruism, of kindness, and of service. Your influence has shaped us into better versions of ourselves, challenging us to embrace our own humanity and to strive for a world where compassion, empathy, and commitment to a course reign supreme.
Thank you, dear Dr. Shuaibu Musa, for being a constant source of inspiration, a guiding light in our darkest moments, and a reminder that our lives can be a testament to the transformative power of selfless service. Your friendship was a precious gift, a treasure we cherish deeply.
Though your physical presence may be gone, your spirit remains, a testament to the enduring power of selflessness, knowledge, and service. We will carry you in our hearts, dear friend, and strive to continue your legacy of selfless service, learning, and humanity.
May the Most Merciful Lord be Merciful with you and overlook your shortcomings. May the Most Merciful Lord give us, together with your family and all the love ones, the fortitude to bear and bare such an irreparable lost.
