“This is the last memory we created together Sammie 😇🕊️
When we love, we love genuinely without reservations!
Love you big bro ❤️
We laughed! We teased! We drove out and we picked some nuts teasing I must eat your money in this lifetime 😫
Ufuoma kept teasing she must collect the shoes you had on! We ate suya, jollof rice, gisted and laughed far into the night. Maybe if we had known it would be our last meeting with you…what would we have done differently cos it was an absolutely beautiful day.
May God give the family, friends and indeed the whole nation and beyond the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Dear Lord, please we don’t want to mourn anymore 🙏🏾
My heart is broken”

“This was exactly a month ago in the US.
We spent 2 weeks together and fellowshipped as men.
Ate, drank and, as I’m known to do, teased you.
Toks or Jedi, would drive you to me and we would spend the entire day together.
Made plans for the new year… yet here I’m struggling and looking for words to capture our relationship.
