The mystery of life has been fulfilled in your life. The health you enjoyed as you tarried here was indeed a grace which teaches us the living to live in that consciousness.
Your achievements are there for the world to watch; whether it be good or bad, you have made your own input in the planet earth and no man can question you except God.
The opportunity you had to serve in the public space offered you great opportunity to be heard even at the early stage of your life. We the living count that opportunity as golden. The joy and frills thereto inspired our voices to shower "RIP" and 2hours silence to you.
The account of your stewardship is such that no man can score you; only you and your creator can settle that.
Today, as you are off the earth, many will miss you; these are the people whom your sojourn on earth impacted in one way or the other.
As a political pundit, you did partake in the policy drive of the government you served. Your work in that office will continue to uphold your identity.
One fact is certain; nobody sojourns here forever. We all are pilgrims, your death has ushered this forum into a sudden crusade, where under the state of imagination, we are attentive to recall, your tall stature, handsome face, dogged political fights, undeterred will and above all, your intimidating personality which scares the foes to bow... Today, all bowed with you. That's the fact we must learn from your crusade.
No one except those in the consciousness of the ephemeral nature of this earth would believe your death. The indisputable fact here is that, you are gone and gone for ever.
MY MESSAGE TO THE LIVING:
We are today astound by the sudden death of our brother, Engr Onyenyiri. His death is no doubt painful but, to us the living, can we say we are consciously preparing to be in the shoes our brother is today?
If we are preparing for it, we will not hold anything too "tight" rather, our desire and watchword should be to invest on lives. As you do, you duplicate yourself on others, and by so doing, you live on even as you stop to exist physically.
Dear brethren, I'm humbled that, the likes of Engr Onyenyiri could be humbled by death. This is irrespective of his achievements and connections. Death is indeed a powerful agent that must knock at our doors any day, any time our maker wishes.
Look into your lives and ask yourself, am I on the right track? Am I being swayed by the mundane things of this world?
Our brother came, saw, and has gone! May his soul rest in peace, Amen
