Johnson you are definition of a good man.The shock of your exit kept me numb for days now.Your humble,gentle and friendly dispositions are immeasurable.May you find peace and rest in the bossom of the lord.May God comfort your family on all sides.Rest on brother until we meet again!

Sir Jay!!!
I saw you on Sunday, we hugged,you asked about my leg(the only one who still does after how many yrs of the Accident)you wanted to know if it still bothered me, you told me to mingle more and we laughed about it.
Hmmm how was I to know that was the last I would see and hear from you?
You were a great man Sir Jay!
You were kind, upright and level headed.
You went about doing good and impacting lives silently.
You were known for peace by all who knew you.
Your absence is being felt by many, no one can fill your shoes in the Alumni.
We miss you so much Sir Jay but we can’t question God.
Fly so high With the angels Sir Jay as you rest in God’s bosom.
Forever missed!!

Pa Jay!
An angel amongst men.
The Kind and Compassionate.
The Peace Maker.
The Giver.
The Wise.
The Selfless.
The Fashionista&Sure Model.
The Customer Dadani.
The good friend.

I am Proud of you Pa Jay, your mum needs to teach me how he raised such a Perfect Gentle Man.
Pa Jay,they say Friends are the family we choose and being chosen was one of the greatest moment.
I know this is unheard but I thank you for being exceptionally intentional in all you did.

I remember your last words to me at Landmark Beach "Mizzy,hope nobody look for your trouble?...tell me o!".. LOLs. If there was really a trouble,Mercedes would have expected like 60% vawlence from Pa Jay but he would have chosen a 100% Peace Keeping Mission.. lolz. 
My Tiktok video fan!....Pa Jay judged no one!.
Thank you Pa Jay,you gave a truest form of Care.


You have accomplished many good things in life,worked hard and followed the path of Love,Peace&Kindness.
The memories made will never be forgotten. Sleep well Pa Jay, God has the most perfect Reward for You!

Mizzy.

God grant your soul peace. God knows best.

Rest in peace

Dear Johnson, words fail me.
When I heard this tragic news, I kept saying: "it doesn't work like this.."

When I first joined Muaalag, you were one of the people who made me feel at home. The cool, calm guy. Barely 48 hours before your demise, you encouraged me on my new book. Attended my book launch. Bought copies of the book.

Maybe I should have told you more how awesome you were. Maybe we should have spoken more (despite the distance)...I look at myself and there are a lot of maybes.

You have shown me kindness so many times. Whenever I visited Lagos, you always reached out to me.

Thank you for being there.
Thank you for being an awesome person.

God knows best.

I pray that God grants your wife and children the fortitude to carry on. I pray that they be consoled.

I pray that you find eternal rest.

Rest in Power Sir
Rest in Power Johnson

Don Baba Jay like i fondly call him.

I dont know anyone more humble than Johnson. He was a Boss in all ramifications but yet so humble. He bought a wonderful pretty dress for my baby girl and kept for me till we met at slick's wedding and he presented it to me. He never forgets. He was generous, always helping whenever he had the chance. I always looked forward to his chats in the group because they were motivational & informative. He always dished out wisdom. He will really be missed.

We will surely meet again Don Baba Jay.

Ice Jay,

The news of your death came to me like a rude shock, which i am yet to get over, as you were one good person i ever met in this life. For the many times you reached out to me, in my trying times and assuring me i will be fine, i want to say i appreciate them all. While we pray God to rest your beautiful soul, we will always be here for Ogeyi and the kids. Good bye Ice-jay, till we meet to part no more.

A tribute to my oga at the top.

Dear Johnson, I remember when anytime you wanted to bold your whatsapp message on the group. the Asterix * sign will always be miles away. We always had a good laugh about it. Then i decided to help you bold these messages and correct any errors, thats how you started calling me "My PA/TA". One thing i can beat my chest and say about you is that You were literally kind to everyone and anyone. There was no discrimination with you at all. Its so sad you are no longer here but the consolation we have is that You are resting in power.
Rest In power,
Rest in power,
Rest in power.

Your TA

Dear Johnson,
Your demise is still a shock to me and many others who felt your noble act of selflessness. I pray the Lord comfort your family especially at this time of so much grief.
Rest in peace hero
Good night Johnson....

Baba J, I will miss you so so much brother...
Block Friends will never be the same again...

I know you are in heaven because that is where good men go and you are not just a good man but a great guy!

Rest easy bro... this is so difficult.

A perfect gentleman from head to toe. Goodbye is difficult to say: live on bro!

I'm short of words because the news of your sudden death came as a shock to the entire UNN DLI MBA Class of 2020.

I can only pray that God grant you eternal rest in His bossom.

Rest on, Brother!

SUNSET AT NOON

Mr. Jay, a thousand words won’t bring you back, I know because I’ve tried; neither will a thousand tears, I know because I’ve cried. I ask fate why you are no longer with us? I ask God why he took you? I believe that you have found peace. Rest in peace dear friend and brother. You will forever remain in my memory.

The short time I knew you, I noticed you were a very considerate and reliable person. THANKS for assisting in coordinating our MBA program. The news of your death came as a shock because I just lost my closest friend in Feb so the wound peeled afresh. I wanted to ask God why do people have to die. But God always knows best. I pray God grants your family and loved ones the fortitude to bear this loss. I pray you find rest in the blossom our Good Lord.

Johnson,

Your sudden death came to me as a shock....

Why do good people die so early?

I didn't know you for donkey years but the few years i knew you...you were a wonderful soul...When i had a dilemma, you carried the matter on your head and helped to ensure i and my husband weren't taken advantage of.

You were a good man and you deserve a better place than this sinful world. The devil may have thought he won but God had the victory

Heaven is a beautiful place..

Rest well with the KINGS OF KINGS......

I have only known you for a short period of time but I can tell for sure that you were a good and great man. We had our moments during our MBA lectures, assignments, CBT and examinations. With you in our midst, things worked out well and great. You were my confidant and friend amongst everyone as I call you most times for updates and advice. We planned and executed together even with the shortness of time and it only seem we have known for a very long time. Very gentle, subtle in your speech, meek in your heart and always considerate. You don't like trouble or when people are going through stuff cos you will always come to their rescue secretly. You are indeed a good friend to know and behold. Our last communication was two days before your demise and you mentioned you would like to take your children for catechism classes at the church. We will miss you greatly but I know God has got a better plan. May you continue to leave in the bossom of the Lord. Good night friend

Jay!

At first I had an outburst of emotions.. confusion, sadness, pain cos I didn't and still don't understand why you had to go but you know God cannot make a mistake.

Thank you for being effortlessly selfless..thank you for your sound counsel..thank you for pushing me to be a better version of myself. I am consoled with the fact that you lived a good life and you lived out the commandment of love God and love your neighbor. I am indeed grateful to have known you.

I pray to God to rest your soul, I pray for peace on your mother, wife, children and everyone you have left behind. We are consoled that you lived a meaningful and impactful life. Thank you for the lessons and memories you have left behind, these are what I will hold dearly of you. There cannot be another of you Jay. I'll sorely miss you!

Rest in power Jay!
Fly high with the angels!

Veralyn

Bo,
Oh the memories of you!!! Memories of our friendship. Oh my Bo Yohnson!!! I cried bitterly and uncontrollably upon confirming the story was true. THE EMPTINESS!!!! You’ve left a deep vacuum in my heart; one that can never be filled as I may never come across a soul like yours on earth again till I too pass on. You impacted on me positively and loved me sincerely. You were a better Friend than I could ever be and yet you still managed me. My siblings and wife know you as my only true friend, beyond family is what you are to me. I could always rely on your good ear and your large heart but now that too is gone. I choose to learn from the lesson of loosing you so abruptly but this is too painful. I pray for mummy, my sister ogeyi, the kids, your aunt, tony and other family members too.
I Miss you dearly and hope to see you in the life after.
Your Arrow

It's still hard for me, even my neighbours are still begging me to be calm cause I am just recovering only to hear this news of you leaving this wicked world, Big Daddy like I always call you. You are a good man , may your soul rest in peace Amen I'm still in shock. I hope I can recover from this shock..........

May your soul rest in peace Amen, Rest well

Wow, so hard to believe you are gone, i remember those days at Madonna, you were always challenging everyone to study hard. We chatted once in a while. Rest in Power, we will miss you.

To live is Christ and to die is gain. We have lost a dear colleague, friend, all round great guy and a man who loved his family so much. Heaven has gained what earth has lost.

It is my prayer that Mrs. Ogbeche and the kids shall retain the legacy of a warm heart and healthy soul that Johnson had.

It is my prayer that his legacy shall live long into the adult lives of the kids.

It is my prayer that though he is gone from the earth and though they miss him, it shall be a life experience filled with smiles for them- because their husband, father, brother and son lived a good man.

May your soul rest in peace, Johnson.

God knows best.

Jaybaba like I call you

We started life together right from our secondary school days uptil now.
You fulfilled scriptures, you that friend that sticks even closer than a brother. You are my friend and brother.

Your news of your death hit me real hard bro.
I love you my brother. I pray the good lord rest your beautiful soul.........forever in our hearts bro

Peace bro, peace. All I could say is peace. May you find it wherever you are.

“I wish” by R. Kelly on replay.

RIP bro

Johnson, it’s hard to believe that I’m saying good bye so soon. I wished and prayed that it wasn’t true, but God knows best. May God comfort your family especially your wife, your mum and your kids.

......He was honestly one of the good ones-gentle, peaceful, honest and a friend in every sense of the word.....

.....short of words, can't phantom this occurence....

Johnson you are a good man!
My the good Lord grant your soul repose

Can't believe my dear friend is gone and not even in a good way but by a tragic accident. Ogbeche you will be surely missed. May God continue to take care of the living ones you left and grant your soul peace.. till we meet again in the afterlife ..... Amen

I find it hard to believe your death.
But who am I to question the Most high God. As it pleads HIM.
On 17th April, l sent you a congratulatory message on your 11 years wedding anniversary, which you responded. l was admiring your lovely family.

It is well.
Rest in peace Johnson!!!
Till meet again in Heaven.

Oh Johnson... you were such a good friend, I bet the Angels will be so jealous of your eyes! If they get to read this, you will have to give them "the eyes gist" I bet they'll laugh at you and you will be pretending like you are shy, but na lie. The news of your death is Pain... Oh your precious wife and kids! Then your mother this pain is tangible, we'll all miss you buddy... only God can console them, all we have now is the fun memories you.... Rest in Power my friend. Love to Tutu.

It's been 20years of friendship. You always reached out, even when I didn't. You always checked in. You were a good friend and that is hard to come by. I know I would not forget you. Rest in the bosom of our Lord Johnson. One love always!

I will remember you sitting a few seats away from me in class for 3 years. I will remember you wearing a yellow check shirt. I will not forget your eyes .
We didn't get to meet again after FGC Ikom. I will remember you received me warmly when I joined the WhatsApp group a year ago. You impressed me immensely with your maturity- your thoughts and your conversations.
You were a beautiful person.
Good bye Eyes Jay.

Farewell my friend,your friendship was a blessing. I am overwhelmed by grief. I will miss you
 Rest in peace Johnson Ogbeche

My dear Friend...it was with shock and on what's app status i saw that u had passed, i know that u are in a better place but we that are morning you it is sad and hard to accept... It is unbelievable that u are no more here with us...i lack words...plz rest in peace till we meet again

Calm, Generous, Gentle, Smart, Wise and more

Far too many words to describe you with - you no get wahala at all.

Bo, this wasn't the plan, but I know the Almighty has better use for you. May he give us the strength to pull the weight you left behind.

Love you bro...still feels surreal...we will meet one day in the clouds.

Rest in Peace and Eternity / Return, If Possible.

Cheers,

Geraldino

Apostle Jay as you were fondly called by us all. Mr Johnson, Jay as i call you. It pricks my heart to write this tribute to you. News of your death came as a rude shock to me, still find it hard to believe.

You have been my friend since we were in Madonna University. A rare specie, humble, selfless, one of a kind, an angel in human form.

Its so hard to say goodbye to you Jogbech, Goodbyes are not forever,
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I’ll miss you,
Until we meet again.

May the good Lord console the family you left behind and grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.

May God strengthen Muaalag family, cos truly your death left a vacuum in our hearts only God can fill.

Rest on my dear friend.

When I heard of your passing, I was shocked and thought it was an expensive prank because we shared a good time at the beach on Sunday. You took several pictures of me and teased me to settle you, else you will send the pictures to the group. We laughed over it and I bid you farewell not knowing that I was saying a final good bye.

You took me like your kid brother and supported me all the way, encouraged me even when I felt like giving up. You were a good man, you have this calm way of approaching any issue no matter how big it is. You are always smiling.

Your humility is next to none, you took everyone as one and never discriminated against anyone.

Apostle Jay like I always call you, we are devastated beyond words but we know you are in abetter place. In your 41 yrs on earth, you touched many life and left an everlasting memories.

Rest in peace sir

Hmnnnn

I have been looking at the group chat waiting for your analysis on the government policies and happenings in the country.

It’s not real, I am lost for words. Even with my longgggg absence and silence you would still drop a chat to check on me.

You were a perfect gentleman, you live on forever in all our hearts. I can’t believe I am writing a tribute to Johnson , God have mercy.

Sir Jay, this is still hard for me to believe. I remember how you congratulated me on my wedding last month and your promise. I wish it is still a dream,that you'll wake up and tell us that it was a joke. But since it happened this way, only God knows why. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.Amen.( From Tekky as you fondly called me )

It’s is hard to say goodbye but I guess I have to do the hardest thing. You were like a big brother to me, one I never had. a mentor, someone I could easily run to when all was confusing to me,
how you made me see life and understood it too was amazing. I can keep going on and on about your personality n your good heart, but words won’t be enough.
I know you are with the angels and I know you won’t want to see us this sad and in pains but we are.

Heaven just gain an hero

Farewell!!! My mentor till we see again
Adieu!!!!

Jogbech my friend....we may not have had a one on one since we left secondary school but the vibe you have brought to our forum on WhatsApp and several assists you have made financially and otherwise can not be overemphasized...Our mates and I are facing a rather difficult moment appreciating that your exit was at the twilight of your dawn..I pray your soul finds repose and comfort in God's Bossom....Fare thee well

Adieu Jogbech.

If i say i know what and how to put words together now , i lie. One thing is certain there will never be another Johnson Ogbeche. A star, an icon ,in deed a very rare gem. You are already greatly missed. God rest your soul. Eternal rest grant unto thee and let perpetual light shine upon you.

I met you when I joined MUALAG and you were the first person to make me comfortable in the house , you always encourage me
You always called me Daughter
I thought that I would be able to see you again
But now I know we don’t own tomorow
It’s so difficult to say good bye
RIP

A life so short lived yet so very impactful. Though we were never really close, but your genuine kindness and gentleness towards others was visible wherever you went. When you asked how I was doing after what happened to me in Abuja, you called me sister. That is who you were to everyone you came across. I don’t have much to say here, just that your loss is huge and will be really hard to heal but we can’t question God also we are consoled by the beautiful memories we have of you. To say we will miss you is to make small the vacuum your death has left in our hearts. We will never have another EYESJAY. Good night my brother.

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Adieu Johnson !!!

Normally I let my grieve and anger pass before I write a tribute but, Jay tell me how this can pass? You were always there for us no matter how tight your schedule. Fgcikom class of 96 was Always first on your agenda. You loved us so well and always spoke about your lovely wife and children ha! Jay this is too much oh! But, I am console in the fact that you lived a good life no matter how brief and we will miss you . I take solace in the fact that God needs you more. Rest In Peace Jaybaba .

Apostle jay I still can’t believe I’m typing this but God knows Why it happened this way I wish you woke up after few hours just like Beatrice did at a point I even wish u sustained an injury just to be alive for us but I believe you’re in a better place I’ll really miss you apostle jay your wise words, you were a big support system even when we weren’t close you supported me in the best way you could thank you for all you did while you were here you were really a great being❤️May God grant you eternal rest May your soul rest in the bosom of the Lord Amen.

Apostle Johnson as we fondly called You,you were a simple,nice, caring, kind to a fault, honest, humbled and opened to all. Your demise hurt deeply and has been giving me sleepless nights. You are greatly missed and will forever be remembered for your good work. Heaven has truly gained a saint. I'm so privileged and blessed to know you. Rest on Sir

The moment I was fed up with being unemployed and helpless, I reached out to you for finances and you did more. You gave encouragement, checked in occasionally when I was caged in solitude and made sure I came out of depression. You never stopped caring. I am consoled by the fact that you were a friend of God. I know you are resting by God’s side. Heaven 1 - 0 Man.
I pray for strength to take this in. Good night my brother and mentor

Brother, it's still hard to believe you are gone. You were all smiles when we met on Sunday, May 16, 2021. We had a long laugh about our experiences at Akoka, I never knew that was going to be our last meeting. You were a good man, a jovial friend, always willing to assist and a caring father. May your soul rest in peace

This life is most unfair... E no balance at all...

Can't come to terms with the fact that you are gone. Was shocked when I heard the news of your death yesterday. We got to know each other during our time at MadUni. We became pretty close and I nicknamed you "BhoJohnson" and you always respond with your free-spirited nature.

Words fail me as I type as I don't know how to come to terms with your demise...

Rest on brother in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again.

My dearest friend Apostle Jay,
I am finding it really hard to accept the news of your demise, I wish it was all a dream but typing this makes it a sad reality.
You lived a good life worth emulating, I pray God consoles your family and give us all the fortitude to bear your irreplaceable loss.

Rest in Power my dear friend
