We weren't in the same department back in school, we really didn't have a lot of mutual friends but we always connected and talked each time we talked. 

Cool, Calm headed, focused. 

When I heard it was a heavy blow. 

Today is Your birthday Senator, we celebrate your life.... 

Miss You Senator Nengi Okpokiri ✊✊

Dear Nengi,

I admired your zeal and ambition, it really stood you out, and you were a really gentle and calm guy. From CU final year, to NYSC camp, till the last time we saw last year, im glad that in this life I found a friend in you. 

Still cant believe you are gone, 5 years ago just feels like yesterday when I used to drive to dolphin estate in the benz v-boot of life during NYSC,.... 

(hahahahaha, the same one that got stuck in the mud in Oshodi, if not for German automobile engineering, I dont know how we woulda gotten out of there had the car not trutled out of the puddle that night, chaii my paddy)

....to chill and hangout with with my guy, and talk about business plans and possibilities, I felt so strongly that your were gonna beat the odds and come back so you, I and AK would start up our conglomerate.

You were a gentle, jovial and cool person, my prayers go to your family, we are rest assured you are in a better place.

Live on Brother, #foreverMissed 

Can't believe you are really gone Nengi

Thanks for been a good friend and  brother.. Glad we had fun moments together at CUCU and also after school. I will miss your calls,jokes, pranks, political bants, etc. Your short life brought so much joy and laughter to our lives. Eversmiling even in the midst of challenges, You kept on saying you were getting better and always said we would do the thanksgiving of your healing but God knows best.

You are in a better place where there is no pain, for that I'm happy.

I will miss you Nengi,

Adieu my dear friend.

Dear Nengi aka SENATOR,

Gosh you will be greatly missed.

You crossed my mind yesterday and I tried to reach you apparently you were gone.

Its hard to believe that you wont be here when we relieve CUCU memories, celebrate birthdays and other milestones.

Or that you wont call me on my birthday.

Or you organize outings for the group as you have done in the past.

The back and forth we all had when planning the last meet up at Bogobiri J

Your impromptu visits, phone pranks and so on.

You really didn’t like taking pictures during our days at Communion Unit

You were always beside the DJ, hiding out with Elor.

Shy friend J

There is nothing that I wont miss about you

Is it your fun and jovial mein

Your big and caring heart

Not showing your worries at all

Or the ways we poke fun at each other

Memories of you always keeping in touch

Or us teasing you about the political situation in 9ja, as per you were for Jonathan

Or your calls, messages to share your different business ideas and wanting my input.

I still remember our last conversation on that oil ish, what I found out and so on.

The ice cream that you have owed me since 200 or 300level in school

Or the call on your 30th birthday when I asked, when you were going shopping

Or my asking that you keep off the weight you have lost.

Or my setting reminders and calling people to ensure we didn’t miss your birthday because you’d do the same for us all.

Grateful I got to speak with you on your birthday (won’t had forgiven myself)

Sad we wont do all we planned to do after this illness that took you

You were supposed to come back after shopping in August

We were all to go out, have thanksgiving

You kickstarting your new business adventure.

I remember always saying that when I grow up I’d be like you.

Your very easy and calm way about life.

I’d miss you Nengi

Hope to see you again at Jesus’s feet

Rest on dear friend

God know why He had to take you home to rest
