Continue to rest in peace xx

This is such a shock ... I will always remember your bubbly personality, your sense of humour and your gentleness.

Rest well gentle giant. I look forward to seeing you on the resurrection morning.

Wow... Sometimes we take things and people for granted - probably because we think they will always be there ...we grew up with Mike (and his siblings) as neighbours in the early seventies in Nigeria - his parents looked out for us whilst our parents studied abroad .. and we had so much fun as children ... Mike ever mischievous and full of personality but with a kind heart ... Really sad to hear this news but grateful to God for a life well lived ..

Nnamdi my childhood buddy, I was saddened by the news of your departure. I know that you will surely be missed by so many, but I am also reassured knowing that you are now in the eternal presence of our lord and savior. May you rest in perfect peace, my Brother, until we see again. Amen

Andy Osakwe

RIP Mike I will miss you To your. Family My Condolences. . 

Nnamdi, I know you’re looking down in complete serenity. I just wanted to say that your legacy is intact and your reputation, golden. Your generosity was boundless and you had an unmatched capacity and willingness to do good – all the tributes on this page are a testament to that. For that and your other admirable qualities, in God’s final analysis of your life, you get a score of ‘A++’. As your Brother-in-Law, I will see to it that the kids set aside a special place in their hearts for 'Uncle Nnamdi', that’s my promise.

Nnamdi, it is with great sadness that l learnt of your passing. You have left a big void and I pray that God continues to embrace you as you fly with the angels.

Living life they say, is like a market place, everyone comes to trade in one thing or the other, and returns home after all is done. Dear Big cousin, you came in due season, added value to lives, brought joys to the hearts of family, friends, and those you barely knew. Alas! you did your bit and had to leave when your time came. Sleep on in your deserved rest, safe and secure at the saviour's breast, for indeed earth's loss is heaven's gain.

TRIBUTE TO NNAMDI MICHAEL AGBAKOBA
There is a saying that part of being human is that at a point in time we lose some of our beloved ones. It hurts when this happens and I am hurting as I write this TRIBUTE to my nephew Nnamdi. The Lord has called him home and we cannot question HIS WAYS. TO HIM BE THE GLORY
I was among the very few people who saw him a few days after his birth as I was staying with his parents then. I remember Nnamdi as that highly 
intelligent little boy with an inquisitive personality. He loved books and I once showed him the picture of a fish called,for short, Humuhumu (the national fish of Hawaii) in an encyclopedia. Nnamdi never forgot.On subsequent visits to my sister ,Nnamdi's mother,he would take me straight to the book shelf point to the encyclopedia and calls out Humuhumu. We will both look at and admire the picture together. I learnt later that he referred to me as Aunty Humuhumu!
 As an adult Nnamdi turned out to be a gentle,unflappable, level headed gentleman who had the wisdom of an older man and sound judgment.
It is not how long we live but how well. Nnamdi lived well and he touched many people positively ,starting with some of my children. He will be sorely missed.
My condolences to his wife Mary, his mother, my sister D,, his siblings Ngozi, Chiedu, Nkeiru and his other relatives.
Please stay strong for God is your strength. IT IS WELL. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Big Nnamdi, can't believe you're gone. When I think back you were always this larger than life personality, ever present but never overbearing. You will be sorely missed by all who love you but our joy is that now you are at peace and walk with the angels in heaven.
I pray that God grants the family the grace and fortitude to bear this great lord's.
Rest well big cuz.

Small Nnamdi

I was Mike supervisory for many years.  He was always kind to everyone.  Me and him had many conversations about work and life.  Mike will be missed by his friends and family.  I am glad I got to know him and be a part of his work family.   May God help the family during this difficult time. 

Dear Nnamdi,

Truly saddened to hear of your passing away. It was such heartbreaking news.
I’ll remember your friendly nature. You always had a smile for everyone and will be well remembered by all of us at FGCL and Elephant House.
Rest in peace, and may the eternal light shine on you, Amen.

To his family, I am truly sorry for your loss. May God bless you and help you through your grief.

Akin Abisogun.

Rest easy dear Nnamdi
And may God bring comfort to your loving family and friends. Amen

Farewell dear brother-in-law

From Bella Ikpasaja

Big Nnamdi, that's what we called him. I remember how he used to float in the swimming pool like a feather.A family and friend, easy going guy, nwaoke oma you will always be loved, rest in peace.

Dear Nnamdi,

You welcomed me into the family with gentle, kindly words and you were always pleasant to be around. Your passing was a huge shock to me but I know it was not a shock to God who prepared you so lovingly - O Precious in His eyes is the death of His faithful! You spent the last few years of your life drawing closer to God, seeking his face and serving him. And best of all, you died in Christ who is the Resurrection and the Life. We are thus comforted that this separation is only temporary... we will meet at Christ's feet. Pray for us that we also may remain steadfast till the end, and may your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His servant.psalm 116:15
God's people are precious in His eyes both living and dying, for whether they live, they live unto the Lord, or whether they die, they die unto the Lord.
The news of your departure still remains a mystery to me but we cannot question God. Death in the body of christ is not a termination but a transition unto glory. We know you have gone to be with the Lord.
Mr Micheal Nnamdi Agbakoba of blessed memory,was a father, reliable friend, a good and faithful servant of christ, a dedicated and trustworthy worker in God's vineyard, a loyal and honest to a fault person I have ever met.
He was the accountant of mfm City of Refuge church for many years and I am proud to say this as the resident Pastor of the church that we never have any problem with church money. He's always very punctual and does not come late to church and gives generously for the propagation of the gospel. " His good and faithful service to the Lord shall be rewarded"
I use this platform to comfort the wife, mother, siblings, the entire family and friends and every members of mfm City of Refuge church. The good Lord will keep you strong and the joy of the Lord will continue to be your strength.
Mr Micheal Nnamdi Agbakoba fought a good fight, he finished the race and has kept the faith. We shall meet and never to part again at the bossom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

This is a very painful exit, I have been thinking about you all week since the news of your passing was broken to me. Even though I know you are well and alive with all the saints that have gone home to be with the Lord, that's great and brings consolation to the pain of losing you early. I must say we miss you daily, you're such a sweet honest and forthright person and we miss your fellowship here but for the grace of God we said be at peace and by his grace we shall meet on that beautiful shore where there is no pain or sorrow.
God will give mom and siblings strength, all of us to bear this as keep fighting the good fight of faith.

It's taken me a while to write this because I did not know how or where to start. My cousin, Big Nnamdi (my younger brother was Small Nnamdi) was my first object of hero worship and I hung around him and his sister, Ngozi, any chance I could. He was just a few years older than I, but he looked and acted decades older. Growing up, I was what could be charitably described as an irrepressible tomboy, while he was always (well, mostly always) calm and unflappable. I tried unsuccessfully to imitate him because he never seemed to get into trouble in spite of some the pranks he pulled, and I did. Frequently.

Both of us loved to read, and he would give me books that he thought I would enjoy. We also had this game where we would try and one-up each other with the most ridiculous words we could find in that big Oxford dictionary in the house. The most memorable exchange was me saying that he was doing a "boondoggle" and he responding that I was talking "hornswoggle." I was under 7 or 8 years old at the time. This memory never fails to make me smile. 

When I transferred to FGC Lagos, he was just about to leave, and hanging out was really not an option. However, he found time to help me understand mathematics and how to break down and solve maths problems. I know that he earned mega points with Jesus just for this as he never became annoyed or impatient with me as he had to explain over and over and over again.

We lost touch when he moved to the US, but thanks to Facebook and Whatsapp, we talked, albeit infrequently, and it struck me that he was the same sensible, funny, kind person that I knew and loved as a child. It is one of my few regrets that I never told him how much of an impact on me, how much I looked up to him, and what an awesome, all-round great guy he was.

I'm sure St. Peter's schedule has seriously opened up as Big Nnamdi has taken over the heavenly books and has become best buds with his namesake, the archangel Michael.

To those who loved him the most; his mom, his siblings and his wife, the Lord is your strength. He will give you comfort in this time and keep you all under His wing. Rest in perfect peace, coz.

Nnamdi May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. May God console your family and friends and make us remain Thankful for ever knowing you and your beautiful family. May God Grant you eternal life and the Perpetual light continue to shine on you. Amen.

This is so sad. Nkeiru and I would laugh hard as she recalled humorous stories you had shared. It doesnt bear thinking about that we would be referring to you in the past tense. Rest in perfect peace until resurrection morning.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Ps 116:15
Remembering the days in Ire-Akari Estate, Nnamdi would come to hang out with my brother his FGC Ijanikin school mate to times we did connect on Facebook. A very gentle and kind spirit.
Praying for God’s Strength and Comfort for the entire family, relatives and friends in this time of loss. In Jesus Mighty Name.
It is well!!!!

Hmn!

I pray that 'the God of all comfort' (2nd Corinthians 1:3) comforts us all, in Jesus name... AMEN.

Oh, Nnamdi, I am having a lot of difficulty believing that you are gone. It feels only like yesterday when we would play table tennis in your backyard, at Isolo, all day long. Good bye my old friend and may God Almighty give the Family the strength to endure this loss and carry on.

My wife Tina, children and grand children join me in mourning Nnamdi. We greatly miss him. He was an epitome of kindness and touching humility. He was a giant in the sun. Although his sun has set at dawn physically, it shines on eternally. May his wonderful soul rest in peace.

Oh death, where is your sting? My cousin, Nnamdi (Mike Jnr.) has overcome you! By his testimonies, Cousin Nnamdi was always victorious, both in life and death!! Nnamdi, I am convinced you did make it to the Kingdom of God, which is what we all aspire in this life - by your humility and love in Christ Jesus. Bravo!!! We join your family, beloved Mum, siblings and their families, friends and associates to celebrate your life, as you rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord. Adieu! Adieu!! Adieu!!! ---- Engr (Evang) Chudavid Agbakoba & family.

It is with very deep sorrow that we learnt of Nnamdi's passing! We remember him and his family in prayers as well as the family of Uncle Mike Agbakoba. We pray that the Lord grants Nnamdi eternal rest in his bosom and comfort his family. Ndo Nu!

George Agbakoba Esq. - on behalf of the family.of Chinyelugo Agbakoba.

Nnamdi!; Adieu bro. Known you since the 70s when our parents worked together in Lever Brothers. Probably one of the strongest beings of our secondary school days. You were a gentle giant with a good heart and very loyal. Condolences to the entire family. May your soul rest in peace.

Muyiwa Green.

My brother and friend I remember you the more as I flipped through those photographs. We had beautiful memories growing up on Ire-Akari Estate- Isolo Lagos in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Rest in peace Nnamdi Agbakoba.

It's been a long while since we both shared in that remarkable journey from Ojo to Ijanikin (via Satellite Town) but the happy memories of that time remain. May the joy you brought to many provide some comfort to your family and friends. Rest in Peace, Nnamdi.

If time were the currency of life, our dear cousin, Nnamdi, yours was truly a rich life.

You left good memories and wonderful feelings in the hearts and minds of those of us who had the privilege of meeting you.

Your gentle nature and your calm disposition are memories of you that are forever etched in our minds.

We look forward to the resurrection and the time when the words of Rev 21:4 will take place.

Ifeoma, Chukwudi and Ngozi

My great in-law, I was sad when I heard about your demise. So is the world, God bringeth and God taketh. Now I know you are with the angels, may your soul rest in peace. May God console the family you left behind in Jesus name amen.

Life's a journey, we meet people on our way ,we also leave people on our way, you have left to be in better place with your maker.
I haven't seen or spoken with you in a long while but I always knew you were fine, I trust that you are resting with the angels. Rest in Peace Nnamdi, God Almighty grant your soul eternal rest and Peace, Amen

Oh Michael! I didn’t meet you in person but praying for you over a long period of time gave me a sense of physical contact. Ur name was always on my lips. I believe God needed u so much which explains ur call to eternal glory. As u enjoy at his bossom do remember us ur brothers, sisters and friends. Reqiscat in Pace. U will be Greatly missed.

You are in the Lords hand because you love Him my beloved nephew. Peace, love, hope and joy you shaired among those around you. I love so dearly but God love you the most. You will always be remembered. Rest in peace.

All the world is a stage, and we all are actors, playing our various roles, and once our Act is ended, we step off the stage of of life to a higher calling. Nnamdi, you happen to step off before the rest of us, to be an Angel watching over your family from Heaven. Heaven indeed gained an Angel. Nnamdi, always had a quiet but powerful disposition! A very comfortable presence. Kind and down to earth! I thank God for the opportunity of knowing you and your beautiful family all these years .
Rest in Perfect Peace and praying for God's Comfort for the Agbakoba Family.❤

Dear Nnamdi, rest in perfect peace. Still trying to take in the news. You were always gentle and easy going - Rest peacefully in the bosom of our Lord.

Death being what it is, inevitable,it will come when it will come. Though your body is gone from this world, but your memories will be in our hearts forever. You have been raised to a greater glory. Rest on Uncle Mike.

The news of your demise was a very sad and painful news to me but I know you are in a better place right now.Heaven gained an angel and I know you’re watching over us...May your gentle soul Rest In Peace..

Justina Ilochi ( nee Agbakoba)

Nnamdi my friend, I received news of your demise with shock. Nnamdi, very calm, peaceful, soft spoken but very energetic. I recall our school days in Ijanikin, we were both in elephant house, played table tennis together so many times. I remember that smile of yours , u were a very humourous chap, very jovial. It's so hard to believe, so tough to accept you are gone. Sleep in peace in the Bossom of the LORD. Sun re

Mike the news of your passing got to me April 10th as a big shock. My condolences to your family. Rest in Peace .

If I had one more chance to say one thing to you today it would be to thank you for the joy you brought to and for the love you clearly had for your family. May your gentle soul rest in peace Nnamdi and may God provide grace, comfort, strength and solace to everyone you have left behind.

Michael soars with the Angels!...I read that here and it is comforting.
Michael sleeps in the LORD,what better place to be?
GOD rests Michael's soul,no better blissful rest.

I remember Michael as far back as 1973 or thereabouts,he was a year ahead of me in Primary School.
Then we met again in Secondary School,and since then we kept in touch.

Easy going,easy to understand,friendly.

I thank GOD for the privilege to have known Michael.

I pray GOD comforts Michael's immediate family and all of us who knew him.

He was and is much loved and will live on in our hearts till we meet again.....

So sad to learn about Nnamdi's demise. From Satellite Town to Ijanikin, we were secondary school classmates and I have fond memories of him, eloquent and persuasive. A genuinely good guy.

May the Almighty comfort his family and friends.

Adieu Michael Nnamdi memories of our wonderful time especially at Satellite Town and Ijanikin are treasures. May GOD ALMIGHTY overlook your shortcomings and grant you HIS MERCY Amin. May GOD ALMIGHTY grant your wife and your family the Strength Grace and Patience to overcome your departure Amin.
