As we prayed for recovery of health for you, the news suddenly filtered in “God has overruled”. We melted in submission to His will. He is God, the omnipotent.
Our sweet sister Nnedi, you were pleasant, unassuming and amiable. Gallant soldier of Christ, unwavering in devotion, rock like in faith, “SU” in disposition, meticulous, diligent and renowned. You were humble to a fault, calling us “mummy” and “daddy” not only before your elevation to the position of “first lady” of FGBMFI in Nigeria but throughout your tenure.
You were never haughty nor rude. You were very appreciative and even humorous. The last text we got from you was your reply to our birthday wishes for you. Someone had erroneously indicated on the Ladies of the Fellowship platform that you were celebrating your birthday. We sent our felicitations. You replied from London pointing out that it was a mix-up but gladly declaring that you had appropriated the blessings in the prayers, Just You! You were simple and obedient.
When we were in office as National President of the fellowship in Nigeria, your husband was the National Director in charge of conventions. You cooperated with him to see that he carried out his duties creditably. In doing this, there was an occasion we issued an instruction to you and it was most difficult for you to obey that instruction because it clashed with your personal interest but to our utmost amazement, you obeyed. God honored you for it.
On the 17th November 2018, you led the ladies of the fellowship in Nigeria to honor us for meritorious service as your immediate predecessor in office. It was a glorious day. We were looking forward to the day you too would be so honored but you have exited to receive your own honor from the Father of all lights.
Our sweet Sister Nnedi, you were industrious, serious minded and ever ingenious in the ways you handled the affairs of the Ladies of the Fellowship. You were conscious all the time of accountability and Christian stewardship. You were a chartered accountant by profession and you brought this to bear on the proceedings of the ladies forum.
At National Executive Council meetings (ladies wing), you requested for catalogue of number of souls won and baptism of the Holy Spirit from region to region. When it was not business meeting but prayer time, you led with sobriety and dexterity.
You smiled repeatedly as you executed your duties which showed that for you, fellowship work was not a drudgery but a delight. You radiated joy and God made that joy infectious. As two “first ladies” our styles of leadership were decidedly and unambiguously different. Whilst I glory in mine, I celebrate you for yours. In all, the Lord’s name has been lifted.
Our sweet Sister Nnedi, since you decided to go to bed early, sleep well. To say that we will miss you is an understatement. The right thing to say is that we will meet you again on the resurrection morning. Goodnight!

Hard to comprehend, that our world would be so suddenly deprived of one of God’s finest masterpieces, full of grace, charm, warm at heart and ever calm in disposition. The void our precious Nnendi leaves us with will be hard to fill.

Ever since our first contacts in fellowship, Her smile has spoken in volumes the mind of her heart without her needing to say much in words. She always carried a confident presence that well complements the lead role her husband holds, and with it that welcoming assurance that sustains an engagement on any matter. It was admirable to observe from afar the gentle skills with which she led her ladies of the fellowship in her nation, never imposing yet commanding great respect. Nnendi left an indelible mark of graceful leadership on the conscience of the Ladies of the Fellow of FGBMFI in the nations of Africa; a woman of virtue, nobility, grace and humility .

We in Ghana are eternally grateful for her life , and the privilege of knowing, loving and serving with her in Fellowship. The Lord grant her peaceful rest, and take pleasure in welcoming home one of His precious saints.

A true daughter of zion

Calm and ever smiling, yet steadfast in her conviction and strong in character. A true mother in isreal. She loved the Lord passionately.

The last time I saw my sister was on a flight from London to Abuja. Sat beside her beloved husband.
We discussed about issues of importance, children whom she loves dearly, and her work where she was putting her best to deliver the purpose of God.

O the shock of her passing... o death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? she will be remembered in my heart , I pray God to keep us in faith as we journey through life.
She is in a better place.
Sleep in the Lord my dear sister.

Now may the God of all comfort abide with my brother, the children and the entire family.

I am still finding it difficult to comprehend and accept, you were so passionate about prayers, i remember my close encounter with this sweet lady in singapore when we went to the market she kept begging for us to come back for the meeting so she can be there to pray for her husband. I remembered when I invited her to minister in a dinner we had for the first lady of Benue state i was worried she wouldnt accept the invitation but she kept telling me comfort I will do anything for the gospel. She was very warm, caring and always in the spirit, I will greatly miss you.

A tribute to my only beloved sister.
My sister, my best friend, my confidant, my mummy,  the only Biological sister that I have always had and been with. You are such a rare gem, full of love and care. Despite what you were going through you always carry other people's burden especially mine. You have always been there for me and my family. Words cannot express your love towards me. Big mummy as my children will always address you.
In our conversation you told me that you will be coming back on the 7th December 2019, and I was joyfully expecting to see you only to be told that you were admitted in the hospital. In all our intimate discussions there was no iota of doubt that you will not be coming back anymore let alone leaving me in this lonely world. I feel so empty and lonely. Tears have refused to stop rolling down my cheeks each time I remember you. It is only God that will fill this vacuum created by your exit.
I love and miss you dearly but God knows the best for you. I know that you are in a better place now where there is no more pain and sickness. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again to part no more.

First Lady, as I usually called you:
Is it true you are gone?
So, when I called you up in London that Sunday morning in November, 2019, upon our return from the Owerri South East Regional Convention, it was to be the last I would hear your sweet voice!
You were such an encouragement, and a great role model, both for the Believers and UnBelievers.
You were a lady with a rare combination of Beauty wrapped up in Humility, Respect and Love. And without controversy, you truly loved and served THE LORD.
We’ll surely miss you. But we take solace in the fact that we shall see you again on the Resurrection Morning.
We trust THE LORD to grant Exceptional Grace and Comfort to our Brother/President: Arc Ifeanyi Odedo and the Lovely children our First Lady left behind.
Rest on, First Lady, in the Bosom of THE LORD!

Sister as I popularly call you, throughout this 21 years I am married to your younger sister, you have always stretched your hands of love and care beyond your only sister to me and my children - as the children will always say ‘let’s go to Big Mummy’s House’. Now that you are gone, the gap is unimaginable, the emptiness created by your exit reverberate in our hearts. The only one we look unto to fill this emptiness is our Maker - Our Lord Jesus Christ. You stood for Godliness, Love and you are openhearted. Rest in Peace, our Big Mummy until we meet to part no more In Jesus Name.

Our dearly beloved Sister Nnedi was indeed a gem of great value. She was a daughter of Zion and carried the presence of God. It was always a joy to see her at the fellowship of the saints. And her smile! It brought joy. She's gone home now to the Lord Who she loved and served. The same Lord Who is Jehovah Shammah, "the Lord Who is there", will continue to be there for our beloved Brother Ifeanyi, and for the children Chidiogo, Uche and Arinze. We love you all. Tony & Apz.

As a young man who has ambition to be successful in life, God brought me across your husband then you, though both I only know from afar, but one thing that kept me going despite challenges to my ambition and lies from some friends and associates that I have to sell my soul to the devil to succeed was the prove of your family's God's given blessing and lifestyle. I have always challenged them that i know a family that loves God and are blessed much more than those sold to the devil. I have always wanted my wife to be mentored by you, Mummy ( An epitome of all have able blessings). Rest in Peace.

Tribute to our beloved sister and mother Nnedi Odedo. Psalm 90:12 says 'so teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Why did the psalmist say this? It's simply because our life's on earth is temporal, we must be conteouse of this fact and impact our world possitively with all Gods endowments in our lifes. It's not how long we lived, but what impact and legacy we are leaving behind. The oldest man on earth was Methuselah and he lived up to 969 years as the scriptures have it. His name was mentioned six (6) times in the scriptures. What other impact or legacies do we know of Methuselah? I have heard wonderful testimonies from brethren and even our beloved Father, Brother, husband, and our President, Achitech Ifeanyi Odedo who also attested in his testimony that after God , is our sister Nnedi Odedo, whom had helped him to where he is today in life. We do not mourn like those without hope. Our sister had finished her God given assignments on earth and had returned back to her creator. She had finished well and now she is resting on the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our beloved Father and brother Achitech Ifeanyi Odedo, May the Holy spirit comfort you and the entire family. My prayer is that we will meet on the last day to part no more. Accept our Hearts felt condolence. Pastor Uche Egwuanumkwu

To my beloved first cousin I miss you. I miss you in the morning and when sunset fades away, the ache within my heart just will not go away.                                   My heart fills with love for you when I think, how much you cared, as I relive all the happiness and the joy that we both shared as cousins.                                   Your kindness, love, and affection for your beloved immediate and extended family members will always remain green in our memories.                                We will miss you and until the day we are together again in that perfect place above.    But until that day comes - I will wipe my tears away and hope to see you again someday.

Our sister was a perfect example of the Proverbs 31 woman. Her comportment was worthy of emulation. At Queen's School she was one Senior we all wished we could grow up to be like. Senior Lizzy Ike then carried herself with so much queenly dignity and Christlikeness.
As a lady of the FGBMFI, I have watched her as our President's wife. Her life of simplicity and humility and the excellent but firm leadership she has provided is a testimony of her inner strength of character. Her presence constantly emits the sweet fragrance of Christ.
It's hard to believe that she has finished her course on Earth. May the Lord comfort her family, the FGBMFI family, the body of Christ and all Queenites especially 1979 set.
We shall understand it better by and by when the morning comes.
When the saints of God are gathered home.
Good night sister, till the resurrection morning.

Nne I love u so much, your death has really changed alot. It is too painful to believe, when some people talk about how they loose their loved once then I will be bragging within me that I haven't lost any but now I know how it really feels. You are a peace making woman, a woman with dignity, strength, lot of energy and above all a Godly woman . You fought real hard, even if it wasn't easy, your hospitality was't because you where living in a big house or rather you being a high classic woman didn't change how you made people feel around you.... You made people too comfortable with you that they begin to forget their main job or even take you for granted. Thanks for everything, thanks for the love you shared, for the little motherly role you played in my life thanks for being the warmest and sweetest aunt anyone could ask for thank you ma. Rest on aunt

TRIBUTE TO A RARE GEM INDEED
If not that God is all knowing and all loving some of us would have started asking questions but there is certainly no need for that, all things considered. My beloved sister in the Lord, you have preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in the most profound way - your CHARACTER, Even without a word you have touched many lives. You were indeed a virtuous woman. Having accomplished your divine ministry receive your crown of righteousness and rest in the bosom of the Lord. Good night ma!

Your passing to glory came to me as a shocked, because when we needed you the must during our Bible Study was when it pleased the Lord to call you home.
I personally learned a lot from your life style e.g your show of love, care, support humility etc.
We love you but God love you more.
May your gentle soul Rest In Peace when the Lord.

Mrs. Nnedi Odedo was a great woman. Beautiful, charming, gentle and always exuding that air of peace and confidence that says "I know who is with me and He is always in control "
The news of your departure came as a very rude shock. We had only learnt of your battle with sickness a few days before and had begun to petition our Father for your healing. And then suddenly, the bombshell news came!
We take solace in the fact that we know who you are with and He is always in control. It is well.
Our hearts and prayers are with your husband -our beloved National President the entire Odedo family as well as the FGBMFI family. May God comfort you and all of us. It is well.

You made us feel so welcome in your home. For all you have done to the Ozodo family, I'm sure you are receiving your reward already in Heaven! For that, I'm comforted. Till we meet to part no more. Adieu!

Thank God for making you a very wonderful gift to the whole world. As the second-in-command in the great ministry of your husband, God took you all over the world for the revival of the church, evangelism and discipleship. You were an elegant and thorough Bible teacher and ECWA Wuse 2 Bible study group will seriously miss you.
We thank God that you came, saw and conquered. We thank God that you won your battle over death. As mortals, we are only surrendering to the supreme will of God over your life since everything humanly possible was done to prevent your death. May God bless and comfort all the members of your family and friends, church members, colleagues and well-wishers. May God bless your soul in your eternal rest.

It is with a sober heart that I and the entire family of Student Christian Movement of Nigeria say Farewell to our dear adorable Sister Nnedi. I met Nnedi at the SCM Fellowship at the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus when I joined in November 1982. She was so gentle and kind, and so pure in her relationship. We all had a strong bond of friendship and Christian love all through our school years. She maintained that same beauty and purity throughout her life. She was a rare gem and we will miss her. We take consolation that we will meet again in heavenly glory, to part to more. Farewell Dear Sister Nnedi.

On behalf of my family, I commiserate with you and your family on the glorious exit of your beloved wife. I received the news of her demise with trepidation and fear. Her exit no doubt has created an irreparable and irreplaceable vacuum in your family. I urge you to bear this loss with courage and fortitude. Though we are all mourning the death of this Christian woman, you should be consoled that she lived a fulfilled Christian Life and left an indelible footprints on sand of times, besides she taught those who knew her the virtues of love and service to God and humanity.
I urge you not to weep, for we have hope; as death is not the end of our existence, but only a transformation and translation to external bliss.
Do accept my heartfelt condolences.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

My beloved big sister Nnedi Odedo, I still find it hard to believe that our last meeting in this earthly garment was last year's FGBMFA Convention. We will definitely miss you and your quiet sweet smile. Thank God we did not lose you because we know where you are. You gained, and are now more alive in eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have joined the great cloud of witnesses urging us to run with endurance this race that is set before us. We love you my sister and pray the LORD will continue to comfort our brother Ifeanyi Odedo, your children, your entire family, family of God and friends by His Holy Spirit our Comforter. You have fought the good fight of faith and you remain triumphant in Him. Rest in Perfect Peace till that glorious last day of joyful reunion of all the saints of God.

We will miss your glorious expression and raising of Holy hands in worship to God during the services. Dear sister, rest in the bossom of the Lord, until we meet on that Resurrection Morning to worship the Most High God together, forever. May the Lord comfort your dear Husband, Eld.

"So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom"psalms 90:12
 My beloved sister Nnedi, you indeed numbered your days and applied wisdom.
  We prayed and fasted fervently for your recovery... On the 16th, when the whole picture was shown to me, i called you in a loud voice, but you did not stop... Adieu my beloved sister.
  We came to know eachother in FGBMFI, you were a devoted lady in the fellowship when your husband was just a member and when he became the president, i recall you saying that "we are all called to serve"
-You were humble, faithful and principled to the extent that you never deviated from the constitution of the ladies of the fellowship.
- You were a committed intercessor to the extent that you fixed days of prayers from your sick bed for the ladies of the fellowship.
- You reorganized the booklet of ladies of the fellowship, Which has helped us to have a well organized structure.
-Your financial accountability and transparency is commendable.
-You are beautiful, inside and outside, a soft spoken lover of all. Although your life was quite short, God understands why it should be so. Goodnight, sister Nnedi, until we meet at the feet of Jesus to part no more.

The shock riveted my soul days ago upon learning of the sudden death of my sister, Nnedimma Ike Odedo. I relished my joy of often dropping her to her father's house whenever Fellowship was over in those very beautiful early days of Full Gospel, Nnewi Chapter in the late 80s. I used to call her Nkpulumma Jesus. I loved her marriage to a great man whom she actually nurtured in the Lord. As painful as it might be to us whom she left behind, I am sure she has finished her race gloriously and untainted and is called to a deserved rest. Adieu, great daughter of Uruagu, Nnewi, our worthy ambassador.

Sister Nnedi, yours was a very simple but obviously a prayer-driven life. Your approach to issues was peaceful; you quietly gave counsel that brought peaceful resolution to issues. Your appearance introduced glow and love. You were simply amazing. We would fondly remember you even though we are in denial of your exit. Surely, you are our loss that Heaven has gained. May the Lord keep your husband; children, and all of us until we meet again at the feet of our Master Jesus Christ. Amen.

Heaven gained a precious woman.

We met in ICAN class and immediately there was a catch between us, we shared great times together, during one of our exams she accommodated me in her hotel as we read together. She indeed lived a life of impact, a fruitfully glorious life! I am in deep shock, confusion and sorrow but the word of God assures me that she has gone to gloriously best place. My prayer is that the gracious Lord will grant us his mercy and make us end our journey rejoicing to heaven, comfort the entire family and indeed all of us she left behind! SISTER EKAETE UTEH.

A TRIBUTE TO AN ICONIC MOTHER OF DOUBLE HONOR AND PURPOSEFUL LIFE:
(Mummy Nnedi Odedo)

FROM THE FWANS FAMILY AT DESSERT STREAMS PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL SOUTH SUDAN.

We received the news of the demised of our mother in Israel with great shocked and heavy hearts.
We couldn't imagine it or expected such sad news at this festive season. But what we know is that the comforter who created her and gave her great opportunity to share in His life on Earth, has prepared a better place for her in His bosom. She came! She fulfilled!! and has conquered with Grace and great Glory!!!

God has given us these powerful consolation through His word in :

Job 5:11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Psalm 27:13-14 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. ...
Isaiah 41:10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you. ...
John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.

Mummy Odedo, was a woman full of life, she was a great icon of unity and love for others, a very strong mother with a voice of courage and strength, she was a giver and an inspiration to millions of women folks, she was indeed a silent labourer who labourered her ways into many Nations through the platform of FGBMFI.

May the Lord reward your labour of love to humanity and may you receive the crowns that fits your angelic heart of hospitality and love.
You will forever be missed by all of us.
We appreciate your constant prayers for missionaries and the work of missions in general.
Mama, you've gone ahead to wait for us and watch how we too can win the race. may we also finish strong in Him and may God give your husband Arc. Ifeanyi Odedo, the children and the entire body of Christ in Nigeria the fortitude to bear the irreparable exit, the vacuum you left can only be filled by the Holy Spirit. Good night mum, till we meet at His feet someday!

THE FWANS IN MISSION WITH GOD.

It is truly a very painful exit but we are urged not to mourn like unbelievers(1Thess 4:13-18).
A profoundly treasured colleague and my Bible teacher. A virtuous woman who inspired us to love Jesus and care for others. You lived a fulfilled life by touching many lives. That is why you have been called to a higher place of praise and worship.
May the good Lord comfort the entire family and the body of Christ during this trying time IJN.

Nnedimma Odedo was the fifth of six children of Augustine O. and Francisca O. Ike now deceased.
Nnedi as we call her was my younger sister and was love herself. They say love is the greatest, most enduring power in the universe. Then again, there is no other power. God is love and life and Nnedi was love to the family.
Though I do not remember much of our childhood interactions, I remembered there was always plenty of love. Nnedi was a beautiful woman and very intelligent. The queen of our world. Our parents raised us, teaching us the meaning of love and Christian values that have been the core of her life. I have always wanted a companion as beautiful as my sisters. Hence, also when I grew older and wiser, I wanted more of her soul. Nnedi had compassion, care, and love for anyone she encountered.
Her love for God was instrumental in giving me courage and will to trust God in the most challenging times of my life battling liver cancer and later two liver transplants in 2002 and 2003. She was the first to visit me and had some encouraging words that got me through. She said “what would mother do if she was here?” Those words were enough to channel my energy where it belonged, to God.
I have to admit, I miss out on most of our childhood fun and games, partly because of age difference and partly to my been away to boarding schools. As faith would have it, we regained most times when she came to USA for treatment of breast cancer in 2016-2017. Nnedi went through all her treatments with strong faith and strong will to live. We were very impressed with the manner in which she handled all her treatments. She made it look easy. I knew it was not that easy for I had walked that path. No one new she went through all that chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She looked beautiful as ever. Her doctors were very impressed and loved her. All her medical teams gave her exceptional care that only God would have planned.
I remembered during her treatments, she asked her oncologist permission to travel to London for her son’s doctorate degree graduation. Where she got the strength I don’t know, but strength that could only come from her faith and will to witness her son’s graduation. Nnedi was an amazing mother to all her children and children that crossed her world. We were very blessed to have the opportunity to take care of her.
Nnedi came to life to give love. She treated everyone the way she would want to be treated. I witnessed the strong bond she had with our sister Eucharia. She saw the good about everyone and in everyone, even when they make mistakes.
Love is when a husband decided that his wife would receive the best treatments available in the world. Brother In-law Ifeayi Odedo you are love and loved by us all. You did not give up, you gave it all that is possible to we humans. Love is who you are and what you do. We will all miss our beloved sister and queen of our hearts Nnedimma Odedo.
May her soul Rest In Peace. Amen.

Nnedi was the first daughter of Chief& Mrs Augustine Ike of blessed memory. A wealthy family popularly known as IKE KANO, from Uruagu Nnewi , Anambra State.
She was the carbon copy of her Mum, a piece of beauty, intelligent and resourceful.
She grew up in the midst of plenty, yet she turned out a bundle of humility.
She was a priceless jewel.
She has gone too soon. She will live in our hearts till eternity.
May the Lord grant her gentle soul eternal rest. Amen.

There goes a godly woman. Beautiful inside and outside. A woman of great virtue. A devoted wife. A caring mother. An endearing friend to many. Hi She made her world a better place. We mourn her death. We would wish she were here longer. But we are comforted that heaven rejoices at her homecoming. Living on, sweet soul. Goodnight, Nnedi.

Dearest Sister Nnedi, it was indeed very difficult to believe that you no more... You fought a good fight, so humble and gentle... we love you so much but God loves you more and had called you back. My only consolation is that you died with the Lord. You are indeed beautiful inside and out so generous. May you continue to sleep with the Lord and I prayed that God really console your family.. sleep on dear sister.. ...

Our dear Sister, Mrs. Odede, the news of your premature passing on into the Great Beyond came to Sierra Leone as a great shock. To me, last year November looks like yesterday when you sat with my wife at the Convention of the FGBMFI at the Police Head Quarters In Lagos. We have always met you at FGBMFI Conventions supporting your dear husband do the work of God. Now you have gone to work directly with the Lord Himself. As you rest under His blossom, remember also that FGBMFI Sierra Leone morns your departure heavily.
Sleep on sister.
National President,FGBMFI, Sierra Leone.

Your Big Shoes

Beloved Sis, 
I thought of you all day yesterday... Sweet memories we shared, plans for LOF, PH convention etc. Hmmm! Your vision was great & I thank God you let me share a little of it. Your shoes are big but from that 'little' we shared I take steps to that heavenly vision. I will put smiles on your lovely face for I am certain we will meet again & will have a lot to share. Rest on, you are for ever fresh in my memories!

IT IS WELL WITH YOUR SOUL, SIS NNEDI ODEDO

It was a rude shock to hear of the home-going of Mrs Nnedi Odedo, the beloved wife of the National President of Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International- Nigeria, but I thank God that it is well with her soul.
She was a virtuous woman who touched and influenced many lives for the Lord Jesus Christ. She will be greatly missed in the Fellowship and all other places where she impacted people's lives, especially by her husband, Arc Ifeanyi Odedo.
Our joy & consolation is that she died in the Lord, therefore she's blessed and her good deeds are following her.
The Lord shall console our NP, Arc. Ifeanyi Odedo, their children and the FGBMFI- Nigeria, as He grants our departed sister eternal rest.

FOREVER MISSED,HEAVEN BOUND

December 29, 2019
It was shocking news, a dark and heartbroken news? We're short of words and weak to question God as how and why? As believers we are always reminded of this transition to always be prepare.
May the peace of God which transcends all understanding guide the family's heart and mind in christ Jesus. 
We will forever missed Mummy's ever smilling face, the radiance of God's glory that surround her presence wherever she was. We can only be comforted because we know where she is.
The psalmist says. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" ps 116:15 Remember this song writter; "When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."
Mummy Mrs Odedo has fought the good fight, she has finished her race and has kept her faith. We shall all see her someday and celebrate at the feet of Jesus.
It's well with the family. Peace 
 Pst Moses Kuzhe and Family
