This is an excellent read. I was particularly interested in the relationship between the two men: Aig and Herbert. They must have been like brothers; and I sincerely condole with Aig. Herbert had been on everyone following Nigerian business's consciousness recently; I'm certain he was involved in funding of many other businesses away from the public eye. The most recent endeavour, and one that appeared to be his most invested legacy is the Wigwe University. I am certain his friends would continue this legacy. He was definitely larger than life.

I really hope they do. It would be too great a loss for Nigeria otherwise

A moving account. Either you or Ambrosia Ijebu put me on to Leaving the Tarmac a couple years ago which was eye-opening, and the nearest approach I made to being aware of his public activity and recognizing his name as a bright spot in an otherwise opaque and confusing field. May the LORD open the gates of larger life to every one on that helicopter, and grant them eternal rest.

I'm quite overwhelmed by the big impact this two great men made for both Nigeria and Africa. I'm Ghanaian but this story just makes me have more reverence for Nigerian business men for their perseverance and determination for success. This is not only for Nigeria but also for Africa. Much respect. RIP Herbert. Your good works will follow you.
