“Karo Sumbo! You will get accommodation b4 your departure date. Sa ma worry and affirm this to your wife as well. God is on your side, you shall not be put to shame!”.

Big mummy, this was your message to me after my wife & I saw you in August 2023. I never knew I would be seeing you for the last time. You made several calls on our behalf just to be sure we got accommodation before we moved to the UK. Few days after, I got another message from you: “Sumbo how far? When do you leave? There’s an envelope here with your name on it b4 you go oh”.  I told you I had left for Lagos but you ensured you sent the envelope through one of my big brothers. I checked the enveloped and I found some pound sterling notes. You were so thoughtful to a fault. What a woman!!!!!! Many testimonies have been said about you and it’s clear that you will be greatly missed.

Dear big mummy, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure.

God be with you till we meet again.
