You are still in our memories. Sleep on till the resurrection morning when we shall meet to part no more.

Rest on my big mummy <3

Rest on my beloved sister.

Your memories are still fresh in our minds even as we remember your earthly birthday today. How that so quickly your third posthumous birthday is remembered today like three days since your transition to glory.How we wish you are still with us on this side of eternity but we submit to the will of of God who called you to a better home where we all look forward to when our time comes. We'll continue to miss you. Rest on dear sister Nnedi.

Aunty!
I miss you!!
Big mummy as I and my siblings used to call you,you were indeed a human with an open heart.
You are so good I wondered why you were taken away from earth, but I remembered that "precious is the death of a saint in the sight of the lord" psalm 116:15

I can't cry no more cause I'm weak
Cause even thought I cry,i won't still see you
I had never ever seen my mom in pain like on 17/12/19
That event that night will never leave my head...it continues to play like a video.
Now I'm in uni,you promised me that you'd be there to rejoice with me when I graduate from secondary school, I pray to make heaven cause I want to see you again.I never got to see the last of you.
Continue to rest on my love ,rest in the bosom of the one who created you.



I love you big mummy forever <3 ):

You're indeed forever missed

Mom anytime I remember you all I remember is the love you gave to me as an aunt which nobody has ever done not only to me but to my family I will never forget the smile on your when you see me with my sis. RIP MOM

Sweet is the memory of the just; sleep on Dear sister

Two solid years had gone in ECWA WUSE 2 without your teaching in one of our Bible study group. We really missed your spiritual impact. We celebrate you. We shall meet again to worship our Lord and savior Jesus Christ together. We missed you. Rest in peace my sister.

To the best woman who took me and my siblings in like her own children...i can still remember the last birthday we celebrated with you at the family parlour. I love you so much, memories of you are still so fresh in my memory. Rest well you aren't meant to suffer unnecessarily so if God calling you home was the best for you I have no choice.
Thank you for being the Good woman and the most wonderful aunty to me

The memory of a loved öne iş always remembered and Cherished. Wished you were still around but the Lord had settled that and called you to rest and so you are. We still miss you sister. Rest on till we meet at the resurrection morning. 

Indeed you are forever missed! Happy birthday as we remember your birthday

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never be ours As I stepped into the all stone Mabel plated room where our beloved sister Nnedi laid, something heavenly resonated within me. Here lies the remain of a beautiful soul heaven has gained. Whereas I was sobbing, I wonder how many nobles will get that glorious farewell from this world. Gazing at her laid body in the casket, I saw a Queen in all its ramifications, beyond the ratmatazz, the serenity in the room that housed the women that were singing was angelic. Sister Nnedi defiled death and brought alive the scripture that says"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of the righteous" Every sentence made about her by everyone was from the soul and undefiled spirit. Someone once said that let us live our lives well so that we do not rehearse what to say at the grave side. Our Sister Nnedi was human but within the ambience of what is minimum in this sinful world, she passed for a saint. As we remember this worthy daughter of Zion, may heaven empower those of us she left behind particularly her immediate family to leave our footprints of righteousness on the sand of time. Adieu Nneoma, Ezigbo nmadu, Ada Jesus till the resurrection morning. You are simply unforgettable. May perpetual light of the Lord continue to shine upon your soul.

One year has gone by my darling neighbour since you left for a better place. I knew you for a short time but you made a deep impression on me that I wanted to imbibe some of those qualities I saw. Rest on Nnedi and I know that the Almighty God is taking care of the family you left behind.
Adieu my lovely neighbour
Uzoma

Rest in peace my beloved sister. We shall surely meet again on the last day. May the Lord God Almighty preserve, protect and keep my Elder and the children in Jesus.

Wao, its already one year!
How can I forget those precious moments we shared together. Short but indelible in my life, filled with life's lessons & instructions which I now run with. Of course none can do it the way you did it. I see your reflects in our attempts. Rest on, your legacy lives!
I sure miss you but for memories! Keep smiling on the LOF, our mistakes, our successes. Yes, you are forever missed.
Your friend & sister.

Nnedimma, jee ije gi nke oma. Ka chi foo.
We all miss you.

It’s a year ago since you left us. You have been sorely missed by us and all you impacted in your short but remarkable years. Mopelola and I remember your smiles and gentle spirit. We have no doubt that you are resting in your Father’s blossom. Your memory shall for ever remain blessed.

Your golden and well - profiled biography and tributes from Nnodi which I conspicuously displayed on my office desk in Port Harcourt serves as a soft reminder that you have truly gone to be with our Lord and Maker. Rest on Ma'am - our amiable and unassuming first Lady and wife of our National President.

Difficult to believe and sad reality. You were sweet, gentle, humble and hospitable. You opened wide your house during our trial period in year 2003. You encouraged, you prayed, you empathised, you fed and housed my family while our son was in the ICU at National Hospital. You still checked on us regularly after then till very lately. I didnt know October 2019 was the last we would speak.You are unforgettable ma and you are alive still. The memories of your kindness linger on.
Rest on till the resurrection morning.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We will continue to miss your gentle being and quietness at our conventions.
We will someday meet to part no more at that great feast of our Lord Jesus. Amen.

Gone but never forgotten. Nnedi Odedo will live on within our hearts

My darling neighbour in Nnobi, your death was a rude shock to me and my entire family. We have just known each other during the 2018 Christmas that you and your family spent in Nnobi. We visited each other and we planned for more visits in the coming years. You were so lovable, classy, calm, soft spoken and gentle in all that you did and I just kept watching you and copying your attributes. I didn't know it will be the only time i will be with you. To Uncle Ifeanyi and the children, I say allow God to console you. Only God knows why such a lovely person will depart at 57. Ndo nu. Rest on Nnedi, my darling neighbour.

Auntie Nnedi radiated humility all through the times I knew her in the FGBMFI Nigeria. You would not know that she was the wife of the National President on seeing her in the midst of other ladies of the fellowship. I thank God for the life of Auntie Nnedi, and pray that the comfort of the Holy Spirit will rest upon those she has left behind in Jesus name.

        LORD,HEAR MY PRAYERS
Nne,
I write this tribute with deep sorrow in my heart and tears in my eyes to express my shock and pain over your exit from this world.
As the immediate younger brother to your husband, I must testify to how you brought peace, compassion and harmony to the Odedo family. We always come to your house to settle our problems. Your wise counsel, guidance and encouragement has kept us together. You were never tired of us.
Your death has brought great pain and sorrow to our family. I have never seen my sisters so sad. Our lives have been shattered. My brother loves you dearly and tried all he can in Nigeria and United Kingdom to save your life.
You trained your maids from primary to university and today they are graduates, a great testimony on how you led your life by example. In my political career, you called me from time to time. Brother Charlie, you will say “ we are praying for you”. The last time we spoke from your hospital bed in London, you told me that you hope to be back early December....! Oh my God.
On behalf of the entire Odedo family, I say

Lord hear my prayers.
Forgive our sins
Heal our broken hearts
Have mercy upon us
Give us thy grace
Peace oh peace
May the soul of Nnedinma Odedo, Rest In Peace.

“Ozo Eme Zina”.

Sincerely, Charlie
Your brother in-law

TRIBUTE TO MRS NNEDINMA ELIZABETH ODEDO. My wife and I, thank God for the life of our sister, Mrs Nnedi Odedo. Nnedi called my wife auntie mi, and called me uncle mi. She was a very humble, respectful, gentle, soft-spoken, ever-smiling, friendly, and passionate child of God who lived a life of great impact. One instance out of many will illustrate this. I gave my life to Christ in 1965, but backslides few years later. One day after I rededicated my life to Christ, in 1991, I was seated in my consulting room when two ladies walked in, late Sister Nnedi and later Sister Gladys Ogbuefi, to invite me to a meeting of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, a Fellowship through which I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and stabilized and grew in the LORD. Unknown to me, they had earlier invited my wife who was already a member.                        I was at the wedding of Sister Nnedi and our Brother and President, Arc Ifeanyi Odedo in 1988, AMD ever since I met her, she had been a peaceful lady, and worthy example of a Christian sister, wife and mother. And, together with her husband, they had, with the help of God built a Christian family and home.                I have known Architect Odedo for almost four decades, AMD I thank God for the strength He has given him and the family to still thank God for taking Nnedi, and, their firm belief that she is asleep till we all meet at Jesus' feet.                        Adieu Sister Nnedi; beautiful in and out; God's General. May God bless your heritage, in Jesus name Amen.             Dr & Dr (Mrs) GTN Ajakpo OON,             The Galadima & Jakadiya of Lokoja.

My darling Nnedi; we hadn’t seen in years but reconnecting with you after all these years will always be a memory I’d cherish.
You were a beauty and a fighter, the times we spent together the few months before you left were some of our best times together. You taught me how to be strong and happy, thank you for everything you were.
Rest In Peace my darling Nnedi
Love always LadyMau

Words fail me. Mummy Nnedi; an elegant beauty, full of grace and candour. A most suitable wife to Arch. Ifeanyi Odedo; our ever inspiring National President at FGBMFI Nigeria. Your seat is vacant and you will be sorely missed. Rest on great woman of God.

I had always admired you from afar and felt truly blessed when our paths crossed.Your soft words of wisdom remain stamped on my mind.You were a modest,humble and amiable woman.You remain a mentor even in death.
I followed you to the last JLA meeting .Little did I know it would be the last time I was going to hear you speak.I have put my jottings from the meeting in thesame bag as my credentials because I need them to remain safe.
We love and miss you ma.

You came, lived and conquered; now you are waiting to receive your crown. May the facts of the Lord's words comfort your dear husband, the children, the family and the brethren as they prepare to join you as set out by God. Rest on in the Lord
my sister, rest on.

I lack words ma. Rest in the Bossom of our Lord.

Aunty Nnedi,
Knowing, serving and living for the Lord got practical with you.

We bow to the will of the Lord of hosts, the One who made us and knows our frames. He tells us to give Him thanks in everything, including situations such as this, knowing this, that it is for dying that we live.

We pray daily to report at God’s gate to receive ‘Well done, good and faithful servant, ......enter into the joy of your Lord.’

May the Lord bring comfort to your husband - our President - and your esteemed loved ones, as we rejoice over your safe arrival.

It's like a dream!! I am still struggling to believe it!! Sister Nnedi is gone!!! Hmmm what shall we say unto the Lord? All we have to say is thank you Lord!! Heaven has gained but has left us here below mourning. My dear sister, you were such a gem exuding love, cheerfulness and full of great hospitality, always smiling. How would I have known that I was hearing your voice for the last time when we spoke on phone on your arrival to the UK. The Lord knows the best and has harvested His own. No one can query Him. May the Lord pour His deep comfort on your husband and your children. Sleep on beloved till we meet to part no more!!!

A LIFE WELL LIVED
Nnedi was like a sister to me being the wife of my husband's first cousin. She was so down to earth and exuded so much love that made anyone around her feel so much at home.During the FGBMFI National Convention in Abuja in 1993,I was involved in an auto accident and when I was discharged from the hospital,they hosted me in their house and she was such a super hostess.She was a true Christian whom her life impacted other lives. She shall be greatly missed but we take solace in the fact that she is resting in the bossom of the Lord. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit who knows how best to, will comfort her husband Ifeanyi, her son Chidiogo and his siblings.

Mother you were the truthful,dearest ,more than a mother to me. To me you are a role model .
You were precious gift from God so much beauty,grace,elegant,love and patient you possessed them all. You touch my life in so many ways. your strength and smile even in difficult time encourages every one in the family.
The things i feel deeply are the hardest thing to say,dearest MOM i love you in every special way. Even though death leaves a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory no one can steal. And Love is what you possessed the most.
I will forever salute you mommy because you were incredible,extraordinary and amazing mother.
         I WILL MISS YOU " MAMA"
                                 :::::: Victor::::::::::

Nnedimma, it is like a nightmare. Every passing day all I ask is "is it true"? This is one death too many.

Nnee you have (had) a heart of GOLD, you had an answer to every lingering question and situation - your answer has always been "Let us continue to pray about it, that God will always answer prayers"

Nnee your demise has really forced me to believe that of a truth, good people don't stay long in this world. We don't have the power to ask GOD why?
Our consolation is that we are sure that you are in the bosom of the Lord. The Lord you dedicated your life to at a very young age, when you joined Scripture Union (SU) you were still in secondary school in Queens College Enugu. This made many people change your name to S.U Girl but it did not deter you.

You lived your life for, served and worshipped the LORD all the days of your life, not just in words but in deeds.

Nnee you knew early in life that this place is not permanent that we are all pilgrims.

May the lord give us the extra grace we need to bear this great loss. Continue to rest in the bosom of the LORD.

We lost a precious Gem but heaven gained her.

God had guided her with his counsel and afterwards received her into glory because we have no continuing city here.

We will greatly miss her.

May God continue to comfort the family and body of Christ.

A very precious soul has been taken away from our midst. We fondly remember the time she spent with us when she came to INDIA and spent couple of days with us visiting the orphanage we built and also paid a visit to our mum who celebrated 100 years.
The concern she had for my wife ANNIE when she was ill was very touching and left deep memories as she personally CAME and visited her at Lagos and prayed for her.
Even time can not erase her loving and charming countanence from our sight. No words to console the family except to pray to give solace.
Verghese / Annie

It was indeed the a memorable life you lived, aunty, you wore so many hats gracefully and was so many good things to so many people. I have so many pleasant memories of you aunty and it was indeed one of the saddest day of my 2019 when i heard of your passing. You lived your life on earth for the Lord Jesus and are now with him watching over us. We as your family will surely miss you. May your soul rest in peace Aunty.

Indeed it is a sad loss to everyone who came in contact with you.Aunty Nne as you were fondly called by myself and my siblings, we will surely miss you but Almighty God knows best.
May your gentle soul Rest In Peace.

She was a silent activist. She combined beauty and grace to produce excellence at personal and public levels. The NP & family ,have lost a gem. The FGBMFI has lost a shining star. ....but heaven has gained a victorious Angel! Oh! what an exit!

With heavy hearts but submission to God Almighty, we received the home-calling of Mummy Nnedi Odedo on December 17, 2019. Mummy departed when her motherly love, care and counsel are most needed by her children, and all who have come in contact with her. We resist the temptation of asking ‘why now?’ Our consolation lies in the fact that Mummy Nnedi did not live a wasted life but got the most prestigious medal anyone can get here on earth: the new life in Jesus Christ.
Since Christ conquered death, Christians do not die, they sleep in the Lord. Death is only a transition from this wicked, empty world of mortality to a glorious immortality. Mummy Nnedi has completed her assignment on earth else God would not have called her home notwithstanding her dear husband, Daddy Architect Ifeanyi’s efforts and our prayers. We have no doubts in our minds that she is with the Lord. It is rather we, the living, that have the task of finishing well and strong like her so we can meet with her in the bosom of God our Maker.

On behalf of the Board of Trustee, Council of Ministers and the entire members of THE FULL GOSPEL BELIEVERS' CHAPEL INC. (Gladtidings Centre), we express our heartfelt condolences over this temporal absence of Mummy Nnedi Odedo. Daddy, we remain with you in prayers at this moment of sober reflection as we try to understand Romans 8:28 and 1 Thess. 5:18.

Kindly convey our sincere condolences to the entire Odedo family and that of the Full Gospel Businessmens’ Fellowship International. Mummy, we love you, but God loves you more.

Nnee, as we say it in our place, I'm one person that has admired you though quite unobtrusively since university days when I first met you, Neeme Ekpunobi (now Mrs Ijeoma Agu, Miriam and other beautiful sisters like you then) in the Students Christian Movement, in University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. I admired your unique combination of beauty, quiet demeanor, fear of God and intelligence.
When I saw you after many years in FGBMFI, and you were married to someone who became influential in the move of God in the nation I understood that you were made and prepared for that. 
You wouldn't know how I keep you particularly in my mind's eye as I raised young girls over the years. You were a ready example for me to show them that one can be beautiful and godly and that godliness pays good dividends. I've occasionally even mentioned your name as I instructed my girls to focus on God.
I heard you testitfy some time ago that you escaped. I know you did and now permanently so, because you will no longer know the pain of the world as we know it now.
Thanks for the time you made yourself available for us to enjoy you. Thanks for being a model lady of the fellowship. Thanks for raising a good family and for being a strong support for our president. 
I do miss you, as I know many others do. Your demise is making me to think again about life and eternity. 
Do rest in the bosom of the Lord and may the God of comfort help our president, the children, all your close associates and the larger FGBMFI family.

Tribute to Nnedi.
The late Nnedi calls me ‘Nnaochie’ because her mother is ‘Nwada’, a daughter from my family in Umudim Nnewi. In spite of this relationship, my wife and I did not know Nnedi closely until we joined Full Gospel four years ago.
Nnedi was such a lovely sister. She was so humble even though surrounded by great wealth. She was a christian to the core ..I used to tease her and her husband that they are indeed, the First Family of FGBMFI in every sense....both spiritually, materially and in good health...a fulfillment of God’s desire for all His children. (3 john 2.)
Her sudden death therefore, has again reinforced the truth that we are indeed, pilgrims in this world. And her death reminds us of the need to be ready at all times.
Truly light has gone out of FGBMFI, but she will remain forever in our thoughts.
May the LORD comfort our national president, the children and the entire family of FGBMFI.
Nnedi, we shall all miss you!!

TRIBUTE TO MRS NNEDI ODEDO
(A Sister In-law, Friend and confidant)
Nne, as she was fondly called by the Odedos where she married, through love and commitment became a pillar to the entire ODEDO family and by extension to my husband and children.
Nne, was more than a sister in-law to me. She became a friend and confidant. She impressed a standard of "Let's settle it with God on our knees" anytime l am faced with challenging situations.
She lived a life of compassion, smiles and blissful moments. Nne, was very intimate with her husband and a great mother to her biological children and many others. She was a dependable figure.
She touched many lives with the word of God and love, as such she demonstrated the true life of the summary of the law in the holy bible which is love of God and love of man.
My prayer is that, those who she won for Christ in her sojourn on earth shall not backslide, but uphold the gospel so that we all meet again.
Our consolation is that the Almighty God whom she loved, believed and served through Jesus Christ called her home into eternal rest. Adieu great daughter of zion
From: Chinelo Edith Okoli

I never thought I will be writing this by this time because I never imagined you leaving us by this time but we give all glory to God. Me coming back from school on the 14 of December hearing that you will soon be back, was a Christmas gift I ever asked for, I never knew that what I asked for won't be given to me. You will always forever be in my heart, the best aunt and mother anybody would ask for, your lifestyle was a landmark for me and my family and I know it won't be forgotten, all what you thought me as a son won't be forgotten. We'll all see some day but till then rest in peace mum

A sincere Christian, a loving and caring mother, a devoted wife, a true child of God.......... you will not be forever missed because I will see you again at the feet of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Rest on beloved sister, rest on.

I just want to appreciate you for the motherly love you showed to me and my siblings.
You didn't just leave your immediate family,you left my mum,I and my siblings.now you'll always give me a reason to cry on my birthday(Dec 14th),you've shown me a little part of life.you've given me a reason to understand that life is too short.you've taught me to realise that Christmas won't be all about celebrations anymore because i feel like a part of my heart has been cut off.I asked for a birthday gift and it was for God to bring you back alive and clean ,no material gift would have feeled my heart with such joy.
  I thought death was one easy thing to go through but now i know how I'll feel when I lose my own mum.now,a whole new life has begun within me.if I actually had to express my feelings more towards loosing you,words won't even complete it because I know that if it were to be within your power to stay with us, you won't hesitate to stay back.But God had better plans for you.now I don't have to see you suffer anymore.I have accepted that you are asleep not dead.good bye big mum...your legacy will never be forgotten and I will never forget you,thanks for the unfailing love you showed to me and my siblings. Every Christmas will never be the same without you
REST ON MAMA❤

A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT AND LOVING AUNTY

Our sweet aunty Nne we can’t believe you are gone from the earth, this is indeed one gone just too soon. Few weeks before your passing you called us from London and you sounded so good, we were both really excited to hear from you, in your loving way you wanted to know how we were and you prayed for us, who knew that would be the last time we get to hear your voice.
I (Nonso) just started to get to know you during the process of getting married to my wife (your niece) and was always happy to hear from you whenever you called to check on us, all the prayers and words of advice were just what any newlywed needed to go through the early marriage days, your voice ever gently and your advice always sound and godly. We would miss you so much.
I (Daby) remember all the time I spent in your home growing up, first you took I and my brothers in when our dad was hospitalized and mum had to take care of him, you and uncle ensured we continued our education and we were well catered for. Subsequently, I remember spending almost all my long vacations in your home up until getting into the university, I can say the experiences of staying in your home contribute a greatly to my childhood memories and along with other things help to shape who I am today. With you there was no discrimination, you embraced and cared for all under your roof with love, a true mother indeed.
I will never forget how you proved to be a mother again to me when you insisted I and my bridal party would have full access to your home throughout my wedding weekend in 2018, ever my sweet aunt I had nothing short of first class bridal treatment, everyone in my bridal party was housed, fed and taken care of, you made all that possible and no amount of money in the world could pay for the warmth and love that gave me the courage to take on a new phase of life. No wonder I cried and cried when I heard of your passing.
Now that you are gone we will definitely miss you, the entire Odedo family and all related will definitely miss you, the world will definitely miss an Amazon gone too soon, we are consoled because you loved the Lord Jesus and everyone that met you can testify to the fact that Jesus was the center of your life. We know you are in a better place called to rest with the Lord. Rest on dear aunty, see you on resurrection morning.
