All this I knew from people’s comment and I believed. yet you chose to sing for God with or without pay. Now, you are no more, so sad. I don’t have anything to say but this world is not our place. I will missed your regular inspired thought and your fine boy with swag dps. Rest on bro.”
Another, Bright Idele, posted, “I remembered back then in UNIBEN as a director of socials, I invited u severally to come sing at the various events organised by the Faculty of Arts, and even at ISD’s dinner/awards night, u came without hesitation, even when u knew there won’t be any financial benefits attached, U performed like u were heavily paid for it, u did it all, free of charge. Though we were in different departments, but u were known and loved by almost everyone in the faculty. Your sense of humour, ur love for football and sacrificial nature was easily noticed by everyone who knew u. And also not to forget ur love for God, u showed this in the church we attended then in Benin. It’s so sad to write this on your wall Bro. Very sad, but I am consoled knowing that u are in a better place, singing and performing for the most high. Sing on singer.”
