Everything under the earth has time, a time to be born and a time to die. The most important time is where will you spend your eternity? Ever asked yourself as you wake up from sleep, what if am called today, what will be my answer? Repent and be saved. Heaven and Hell is real. Jesus is knocking, kindly let him in.

Some are mourning while I'm celebrating birthday. Such is life.

No one lives forever. No one knows the last birthday that'll be celebrated.

Sometimes i wonder what is wrong with ladies of nowadays.... the entire nigeria footballing nation is mourning the loss of a great leader and some of us have in one way experienced a personal relationship with the 'THE BIG BOSS'... and because of your selfishness u want to garner unprofitable and useless likes in the name of celebrating ur birthday anniversary from a funeral platform ...thats just sick..
a big picture of what you just did is like celebrating ur birthday in a funeral parlor/ cementry in d presence of a corpse and its family... people are sad and mourning the death of a friend... u decided to shove ur birth anniversary in their face... HOW POOR MINDED CAN ONE BE.. angry
as you said some are mourning while u are celebrating.... no problem with dat... but dont stick ur celebration in the face of d mourners... else you would b labeled a WITCH ... thats the behaviour of witches, they celebrate at other peoples hurt and pain...
P.S..... hbd..... i desperately hope its not your last.... ur words not mine

he has gone forever RIP. But come to tink of it, his grave is super shinny. The question is are dey try to furnish a room in his grave? What sort of waste of funds is dis. There is hunger in the land of living. Keshi does not know his grave was made wit tiles. Una sabi waste money for 9ja.

Why are the mourners hedged so close to the grave? Thought this has stopped! It's just close relatives and just when they are called upon to...kai undecided. And shouldn't there be Nigerian Flag on this noble man's casket
RIP Sir embarassed

I was a young boy inside the main bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere, in 1989. The main attraction of that World Cup qualifier was Sam Okwaraji. It wasn`t because Okwaraji was an international lawyer, or that he played abroad, rather it was his humanity and humility that had made him a house-hold name in Nigeria. As far as he was concerned, that he was a good footballer had nothing to do with him, it was God`s decision. I believe Okwaraji was the closest we came to having our own Maradona
The captain on that day was, of course, Stephen Keshi. Angola was turning out to be a difficult proposition than everybody had thought. Keshi came from no-where to head the ball into the net, 1-0 it ended. Well, long before the match started, the area we called `The Covered Seats` then was already overcrowded, so we knew there was problem. Then Okwaraji was brought from the other side of the pitch to that very area after he collapsed, and was there for ages before he was taken in an ambulance to the hospital-shockingly, he died later that day!
So it was quite an eventful match for me; the only one I ever watched in that particular stadium
The Stephen Keshi of that day was tall, handsome and impressive. He left the New Nigerian Bank to become one of the first, if not the first Nigerian to play professional football abroad ( first in Africa then in Europe) .He would go on to become a successful manager that won African Cup of Nations as a player as well as a coach of the Super Eagles.
It was a big surprise when I saw him the last time, the day Nigeria played Italy in a friendly international at Craven Cottage. It is one thing to surrender to the tyranny of age, but it is another thing to look like a hungry soul from a war-ravaged country.
But that can`t take away the fact that, Stephen Keshi was a trail-blazer by any standards of measurement. A leader as a player, a role model as a manager; an indisputable Africa`s number one, in the field of football. The best leaders are often born with the natural talent to lead, Stephen Keshi was a natural!

I remain of the opinion that the children and family of Stephen Keshi should take Amaju Pinnick and his NFF to court, for playing a role in Keshi`s death. When inhumanity of man to man is ignored, it encourages further inhumanity.
Nigeria buries a star son today, but from Benin to Belgium, from Lome to the United States of America, Stephen Keshi shall continue to live for-ever
