His Highness Halifa Sanusi Lamido Sanusi walked to the Podium to talk and it took him a while to find his voice......He cried and dabbed his tears and was shaking and Abia state governor Otti walked up to him and embraced him and waited by his side to calm down......
Otti never left his side and everytime he started crying, Otti and aigboje would rush to his side.....

So unfortunate..
ReplyDeleteI feel for their families..
This is touching. Rest in peace, sir Herbert Wigwe.
ReplyDeleteThis is what one of those business men disguised in suit should have at least waited for or organised in his honor before going ahead with wild parties.
ReplyDeleteDon't mind those ones. A good member and top financier of your church and his family members oo. Such a shame. Birthday is celebrated every damn year, man!
DeleteSincerely, I see nothing wrong with celebrating birthdays to their fulfillment, whether low-key or not, and that does not mean they didn't mourn with the Wigwe's.
DeleteThey have mourned with them; they also need to rejoice by celebrating themselves.
We only have one life to live.
Netizens are the ones who set fire to what is unnecessary.
Who is this talking... let me just come in peace. This chat before me doesn't make sense, haba three people from a family they shepherd gone in a day and all you think of is birthday 7days after, even calling flavour to sing at a so called pastor party. If one is truly broken in Christ a secular singer would never cross your mind to come senerade you on your birthday. As far as I am concerned it was an inappropriate event at this time
DeleteWhich church please
Delete@Anonymous 12:18, You might be right in terms of calling a secular musician to play for the occasion, but totally wrong in terms of her celebrating the birthday as she wishes. Understand that people mourn differently; it doesn't have to be based on people's expectations.
DeleteThis type of birthday celebration is planned; in other words, payment would have been made months ago to vendors, event planners, and "performing artists," and it comes with a non-refundable deposit.
Most times, it's better to keep quiet when you are not fully in the know. Nigerians are quick to criticize.
The late Herbert Wigwe is not the only elite or sponsor in the RCCG City of David; there are silent billionaires that are not public figures in that parish. I have worshipped there, so I know what I am talking about.
In terms of her kind of celebration, you can't decide for her, nor can you judge; "we only know in part."
May God continue to give the late family the fortitude to bear the loss.
You don't know what you are talking about. Celebrating that birthday is plain rubbish. That's the truth.
DeleteSo sad and unfortunate for this family
ReplyDeleteChai
ReplyDeleteTheir tragic deaths is heart wrenching 😔😔😔
ReplyDeleteI just saw the video and it was heart wrenching.
ReplyDeleteStella, same here. These tributes are too deep! He touched so many lives in his time on earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is painful 😢
ReplyDeleteGod rest his soul and comfort his children
I don't know him but from tributes flowing in he was a LOYAL friend, brother, father, colleague to people closest to him! He LIVED LIFE worth emulating! He is not dead but resting in the bosom of the Lord!
ReplyDeleteI pray God comforts the family left behind
ReplyDeleteMay His soul continue to rest in peace
ReplyDeleteSo sad, may his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteSaddening!
ReplyDeleteMay his soul continue to rest in peace.
May God comfort and console the family left behind
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteMay God comfort the family
ReplyDeleteHe lived a good life and such a handsome man too
ReplyDeleteThis man's death is so painful , some one crating employment for thousands not only in Nigeria but Africa and beyond . May their souls rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteInfact, may his soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteMay the soul of the departed rest eternally in the Lord and may the Lord Almighty console the bereaved family.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the worldly and secular and sinful are showing Sadducees how it's done and what virtues like loyalty and gratitude are like.
ReplyDeleteDid flavour really have to perform for the shop owners considering the height of the tragedy and the help he had always rendered the church? Shepherds and hired hands who Jesus said will abandon the sheep at the faintest threat are showing their true colours.
To those still in bondage, iya/ Baba kaa mo iye omo to bi: the patron knows the number of children he/she gave birth to. If you like, serve a one man business at the expense of your own family. Once you go, they will simply latch on to the next pocket and bid good riddance.
Christians should please go back to the Bible. “Search the scriptures”… “study to show thyself approved”…Is lavish celebration of ANY birthday in the Bible? “All things are lawful but not all things edify”. Jesus was on earth for 33 years but did not throw a lavish party even at 30! He had many followers at such a young age. There were two characters in the Bible that celebrated their Birthdays.
ReplyDeleteThe first one being King Herod Antipas. At his party his wife’s daughter danced for him. His wife’s name was Herodias. She was his brother's wife. At the time John the Baptist told Herod that he was doing wrong by taking his brother’s wife for himself. Herod threw John in prison. Luke 3:19–20. After Herodias’s daughter danced for Herod, he was completely bewitched by her dancing that he promised her up to half his kingdom as a gift. She asked for John the Baptist’s head. Herod did not want to kill John as he knew John was a good man, but as he had made a promise and could not go back on his word and let tongues wag behind his back. So he had John’s head lopped off and gave it to Herodias. She then gave this to her mother. Mark 6:17–29.The instances of revelling at birthdays in the Bible are not uplifting. “ Pharaoh's birthday - Genesis 40:20. Herod's birthday (mentioned twice) - Matthew 14:6; Mark 6:21.
Many things we do portray us as shallow people or even pagans with no depth and make outsiders think that is why our society is backwards. I lost an aged parent, got a few days off work and HR asked if there was a zoom link for the service! I told my boss the funeral ceremony (it’s hard for me to use funeral and party together) is not until two months and he looked stunned! We have many beautiful traditions but this culture of throwing money around at every excuse when many around need help is not one of them. Americans are not role models for many things but watch late President Bush senior’s funeral at his age and see the soberness.
Maybe I have been abroad for decades too long I wish we had the American culture of serving snacks and coffee at funerals regardless of how old and use the money for research funding in the area of medicine that killed the persons. I’m not judging the Iluyomades. I just do not understand the Nigerian obsession with parties in the midst of so much hunger. You can live in the US affluent suburbs and NEVER see acidic poverty around you but your maiguard in Banana island and many you see all through your drive to the airport shows you the level of hunger around so nobody can feign ignorance of the level of hunger in Nigeria. I see it on SM, give strangers money online & block to avoid thank you for nothing. As we blame the wicked, ungodly greedy leaders let’s blame the indifferent, self centered followers too. We don’t care for each other as a people. No offense. Just my reflections.
