ONLINE CONDOLENCE MESSAGES you for one thing, QUALITY. Although I am not an Igala but I was in Lokoja between 2002 and 2005, the structures you put on ground are still solid e.g. commissioners’ quarters, civil servants were able to get housing loans, some may be seeing you as a bad man while others see you as a messiah, that is human nature, but I see you as a man of high taste, how I wish you know how people jubilated when the rumor of your resurrection circulated, it shows that your people love you, you really dashed your supporters hope, but we cannot ask God why. If you can see from the land beyond, please continue to pray for Kogi state and Nigeria in general.
