Neni: Late Mr Chinwa Ilogbene, an unsung, selfless philanthropist
Until his death, he was a successful businessman and a clearing agent based in Apapa, Lagos. But life had other unfortunate plans. Eziaja, Neni, Anaocha, and Anambra lost a precious humanitarian figure.
This year marks seven years since his passing. His story is one of the incidents that should remind us that we all have limited time here on earth. You die the day you are born.
