Na where Politicians go use dere week be this....

Rip to the departed.....

I can only imagine the kinda trauma the remaining kids will be feeling right now..........

It is well indeed....

More reason why I just had to chill, worry-less and bother-less,despite the various troubles I'm presently sunk into........Cuz na who die nai lose las las.....

You have someone who is willing to give you 5 million naira in this present economy and the person asks you to choose between using the money to sponsor your education in a PRIVATE university for 5 years or use the money to start up any business of your choice. Assuming you are in your early 20's say 20-23 and considering the current situation of things in Nigeria, which of these options would you pick and why?

No need to cherish luxuries 'cause everythin' come and go
Even the life that you have is borrowed
'Cause your not promised tomorrow
So live your life as if everyday's goin' be your last
Once you move forward can't go back
Just prepare to remove your past
'Cause ya gotta be willin' to pray
Yes, there gotta be, there gotta be a better way
Yes, ya gotta be willin' to pray
'Cause there gotta be, there gotta be a better day

Noted.

May they rest in peace.

What of RCCG City of David

Waste of funds!

1. Mortuary services: Millions!
2. Transport Services! Millions!
3. Burial Services: Millions!
4. Even Caskets: Millions!

All will turn to dust!

Modified!

What about doing a low-key burial and sending the funds to a particular orphanage or feeding prisoners, etc.!

As someone just said..is it my funds?

Money speaking even in death.

Rip 🪦 to the great man in banking business. Meanwhile, If you can cook, cook for man o, don’t go and follow social media - Nigeria Lady

They moved the Lagos program to RCCG the Resurrection Parish in Lekki.

I hope that Pastor in City of David and his foolish, insensitive wife are happy.

Ok

may their soul rest in peace. condolences

Hope they recovered the bodies to give them a befitting burial 😢

.

May their souls rest in perfect peace

Ash to ash

The family just want to cash out

Why are they arranging their burial ceremonies separately? It doesn't make sense.

May God grant their souls eternal rest.

May their souls rest in peace.

I have been a customer of access bank for about 8 years and I didn't know this man nor heard of him till his death

I can't imagine how the surviving kids would feel right now. Life is really vanity

Ok

Rest On

A sad endless story... every being must partake.Truth be told losing loved ones is a horror I don't want anyone to experience.Buried my mum,buried my dad,buried my wife.Am I the same again no...but I just have to live on as life is for the living.I carry that death bag hung on my back until I breathe no more.Live life.

What happened? Was he attending City of David Parish?

They should use his fund for charity
Not wasting the funds.

Chai...

Continue to rest in peace sir
