The 2006 Guilder Ultimate search winner, Hector Joberteh who was assassinated by unknown gunmen in his residence on Sunday, September 3 has been laid to rest today in Ibadan, Oyo state.

The burial held at St. James Anglican Church, Ologuneru, Ibadan in the presence of friends and family members.

Coincentally, his birthday was on Thursday, September 7 and his wife, Oseyi Joberteh who said she was going to bury him in his finest suits penned a very touching tribute to him, in form of a posthumous birthday message where she highlighted their love journey.

Titled ‘Happy birthday my love’, she wrote:

Here lies Hector Jobarteh.

The most annoying man on planet earth.

The one human who believed he could get away from any transgression against me by wearing a goofy smile and calling me ridiculous pet names.

The easiest and stupidest way to hurt you was to say I didn’t believe you loved me. The pained reaction it caused you was enough to exorcise what ever vindictive spirit possessed me at the moment.

I know you love me puppy, I’m sorry for all the times I did that.

2009, you signed up for a second Facebook account so you could help water my crops on Farmville.

Thanks to your dedicated efforts, I was a very happy farmer.

2010 I asked what you felt the ‘L’ I put in your address meant and being the most unromantic man in the world you said “ah, isn’t it Leprechaun?” That’s how you became leprechaun when your mates were getting Boo’s.

(I did not realise you noticed I later added the last two L’s until I whispered two while tracing the words on your back and you asked about the 3rd one ‘my love, my light, my life’).

You were too much for me the first years I knew you. Too charismatic, too daring… too infectious! With your fake Yankee accent and slight H factor.

You belonged to everyone and I had a hard time sharing.
