I've had some rude shocks of saints going home suddenly lately, but Sister Nnedi's is so surreal! One of the most humble and ever smiling women I've ever met. Heaven has received another faithful servant, while we on earth mourn because we'll miss her. May the God of all comforts comforts her beloved husband our brother Arc. Odedo, the children, extended family, FGBMFI & ladies of fellowship. The Lord be praised!

My very first close contact with the departed delectable Sister Nnedi Odedo was 30yrs ago at the prestigious Nicon Noga Hilton Hotel as it was then called. Occasion was her wedding reception after signing the dotted line with my brother and President, Architect Ifeanyichukwu Odedo.Sister Nnedi's face shone like an Angel with her infectious smiles. Never have I forgotten that encounter as I made my way to have a hand shake with her.
Years rolled by,sister Nnedi remained the same humble lady I saw 30yrs ago, humble,simple,elegant, quiet and sober.
She did not reflect the everyday woman whose family has been favoured with resources to be loud. A godly and virtuous woman .Under God I have not come across a single person who have had reason to discuss in the negative. She understood the ephemeral nature of vanities hence,she set her affection on those things above and not beneath. Yes,Sister Nnedi is gone to be with the Lord, but had left us a question mark on our individual race,how will I be remembered and how will you be remembered? As you journey home sister Nnedi,may the very God of peace sanctify you wholly,and I pray God that your spirit, soul and body be preserve blameless unto the coming of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

My Dear sister Nnedi, my encounter with you during that early morning visit at Nizamiye Hospital not only comforted me but encourage me that transition of a child of God indeed is a gain. That calmness I saw in and about you despite your Clinical condition can only be demonstrated by a true child of God. You told me that God is indeed in the centre of your condition.

Beloved PILGRIM - Elder Odedo. believe me sir, that Queen Nnedi Odedo now in glory was a holy spirit filled servant of the most high God - Elohim. she was a God own general. and she was an accomplished minister of the gospel of salvation grace of Christ Jesus our Lord and our King. Mrs Nnedi Odedo was a profound Bible Study Teacher. Her Bible Study Class At Ecwa Church Wuse 2, Abuja was always contagiously a beehive of several bible study students over and above the limit of 20pple. her class was always an overflow of 30 to 40pple in attendance. this with out equivocation was a proof of her proficiency in communicating the word of god to reconstruct and rescue perishing souls. Mrs Nnedi Odedo was a front burner counsellor that was always counselling altar call respondents. Mrs Nnedi Odedo was a Shunamite woman that opened her home for the comfort of ministers of the gospel of grace. prov 31. 20-31 Mrs Nnedi Odedo was the virtuous woman god talked all women emulate as meek,
gentle and boundlessly generous. acts 10.4 like Cornelius, Mrs Nnedi Odedo was a profound philanthropist who always made herself poor so the observed less privileged people and children go to school with no hinderances of school fees challenges. 2 cor 8.9 like Jesus Christ, Mrs Nnedi Odedo emptied her resources so others become rich spiritually and financially. eccl 11.1. May God almighty abundantly lead her beloved children to find and harvests her investments on many waters in Jesus Christ name amen. 2 cor 1.1-11 may the Holy Spirit comfort our erudite Bible Study Teacher Of Teachers - Elder Ifeanyi Odedo in Jesus Christ name amen. we claim for the entire Elder Ifeanyi Odedo family God promises of gen 15.1, prov 11.25 and Eph 3. 20 and 1 pt. 1.8. may we all finish well and strong so we meet our angel - Queen Nnedi Odedo at the feet of Master Jesus Christ. Mrs Nnedi Odedo till we all come to join you in heaven on our own date of transition to glory, we say that you enjoy your well deserved eternal glory with Master Jesus Christ whom you loved and served diligently around the globe in Jesus Christ name amen. Thanks Ma.

Sister Nnedi Odedo,if prayers were needed to save you,you would still have been alive. If fasting was all that was needed to keep you alive,God's people fasted for you to live. If show of love was needed,it was shown. If it was resources,nothing was spared to see that you lived.But it pleased your maker,our creator to take you home to eternal blissful rest.

What is life but a temporary assignment,which you have completed and did it well. You indeed fought the good fight,run your race successfully,you kept the faith and you have return to receive your crown of righteousness. We wished you had tarried longer,much as we love you but our God loves you best. We will miss you very dearly but we are consoled with the knowledge and conviction that one day we will meet you to part no more.
Adieu Sister.

Our dear sister, Nnedi Odedo, our hearts are sore with grief, our legs wobble because of pains. But we have courage and we are certain you're having a perfect rest in the bosom of our Most High Jehovah. You fought for 57 years and won the race. We miss you here on the mortal earth ( the body of Christ, the fellowship groups, etc). But Eternal rest our God is granting you, till we all meet @ His feet to part no more. Rest on our dear sister...in a palace of eternal joy

If tears could have brought you back, those of Aba South Ladies Of The Fellowship could have done the magic.
Many still remember your testimonies as you addressed/ministered to the LOF at 2018.Lagos National convention.
We were hoping to hear more at 2019 Owerri SE regional convention which you never attended.
SED 3 LOF opened prayer platform praying for your divine healing.
The foot prints you left behind will be difficult to erase.
We love you but God loves you more.
Our National president Arch Ifeanyi Odedo and FGBMFI NIGERIA family , may the JOY OF THE LORD BE OUR STRENGTH.
Adieu nwannem nwanyi Nnedinma, till we meet to part no more. Mrs Akam Charity.

Dear Mrs Odedo. Even though I never met you, your testimony stands true. You were beautiful in and out, a great mother and a good Christian. I am rest assured that you are resting in the bossom of the King. You are loved and will surely be missed.

Keep resting with King Jesus. Till we meet again.

Ada Eta.

Dear Mrs Odedo, if money could be given in exchange for your life it would have been done, if tears could wake you up it would have done so since. Your life has been tremendous blessings to us and it is hard for us to believe you have gone beyond to join the great cloud of witnesses cheering us up not to give up, to keep moving on and make it for you have made it. We will greatly miss you here, your family, friends, FGBMFI international, national, Plateau and my family. We love you but God loves you more than we do. It is our prayer that God will comfort everyone especially your dearest husband and the children. You remain precious in that special place in our hearts and lives, you can never be forgotten. Sleep on sweet wife, dearest mother, adorable sister and friend.

We couldn't believe you have gone to be with your Lord and Saviour. God knows better. We cherished the life you lived as woman of God who effectively supported his general Arc Ifeanyi Odedo. Rest on in the blossom of the Lord great woman of God, an intercessor of our time till we meet to part no more. Emma& Chika Emmanuel Ebinne.

The Scripture enjoined us to give God thanks in all things. So we thank God even in this situation, the exit of our Sister though painful, but God knows better.
Just as it was with Jesus, it was full of pain and anguished but God made grace available even unto death. The death and resurrection of Christ brought Salvation to mankind.
So I likened this to Jesus experience. We can't comprehend or seam to factom any thing or even make any sense out of this painful situation right now.
However, by and by we shall understand.
Sister Nnedi is a friend of mine and a beloved Sister from another mother. I know her heart beat which is doing the will of God at all cost.
Some of the Brethren of old gave their very lives just to preserve the Gospel.
This is yet another offering of faith that the Gospel of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ shall not be preserved for generations to come.
My Sister has fought a good fight, she has kept the faith and has now received the Crown of glory. God alone be glorified.
To my brother and Friend Arch. Ifeanyi Odedo and Family, the grace of the lord is Sufficient for you.
The lord alone is able to comfort you at this time. It is well.

Prince Julius Okojie.

Nne. So very surreal to even think about your passing. I know that you are in a better place though You never joked with your faith. Growing up; you exhibited these sterling christ like qualities. You have fought the good fight. Go have your rest beautiful lady.
The best wishes for Arc Odedo and the wonderful children you left behind. And the multitude of family. Friends and colleagues. You shall be sorely missed. But our loss is heaven's gain.
Sleep - sweet darling. In your creator's arms. Till resurrection morning. Amen

Heaven Gained, the earth lost...

Epitome of Humility. I learnt a lot watching your leadership styles during Conventions. To me you were a role model. You loved GOD so much and that can be seen on the way you supported your husband--Our President--Architect Ifeanyi Odedo. Rest in perfect Peace until we meet to part no more.

Okey & Chika Nwosu. FGBMFI, Sapele.

You are the Rose of our current FGBMFI-N;
The shining flower of our fellowship.
You shined so bright that we had to watch in admiration. We watched in admiration of the glory of GOD in you.

No wonder our President shines because he had a great support;
A solid foundational support.
Our only contact with you was mainly at conventions and on the Voice but we saw the glory; the glory of GOD in you.

When the stories are being written,
When the tales are being said,
It will be;
To GOD be the glory; for all you have achieved through HIS power,
How you allowed yourself to be an instrument of support for our National President and for the fellowship.
Glory be to our LORD JESUS, for the glory of GOD in you.

What can we think?
What can we say?
What can we do?
Mummy Nnedi Odedo
We love you but GOD our maker loves you more. We will remember and act in good faith. We hope to meet you again in HIS glory; in the glory of our LORD and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST.

Mr&Mrs Martin Animashaun.

Nnedi, yours was the life of the virtuous woman in the Bible. This is seen in the height to which you and your husband has taken the Fellowship in Nigeria. You were indeed a great suport to him. The news of your demise came as a rude shock that is hard to bear. Our confidence, however, is that you are resting in the bossom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. May the Almighty God grant your husband, your family and the Full Gospel family the fortitude to bear this loss. Rest on sister.

Mama Nnedi Odedo, what a painful things to hear you have gone to be with your Lord,if millions of tears can bring you back we would have gathered millions of people to come and shed tears, if our prayers can bring you back we would have called for prayer retreat, but all these can't bring you back because the heavens had gained. Well , our comfort is that we will meet again. Good night ever smiling leader

I found it hard to process and accept the news of your death! It came like a bombshell! You were such a beautiful soul

Life is really not how long but how well. You impacted a lot of lives positively through Ur humble and Christ like way of life.

God is still faithful and I believe you were called home for a purpose.

Your legacy in FGBML and the world in general will live forever

Sleep on mummy till the resurrection morning

And I pray that God will give all of us who love you the fortitude to bear this inreplacement lost especially Ur immediate family and our president the man after God's heart.

I remember u with so much love and smile. Your voice still echos in my head and gentle smile still melt my heart. My humble God fearing boss, i , personally will miss you. May your gentle soul rest in peace IJN

This is you! !!
The you that captivated the hearts of nearly all ladies of the Fellowship who met you.
I remember ladies asking publickly if they could be friends with you;beyond LOF meetings.
Am sure they were sincere for you had such an amiable and Charming disposition.
What about the way you responded to very :"Annoying and unreasonable questions by some of us???
That made my heart melt for you and i coveted that Grace earnestly.
This is You####
All we have now is your picture to gaze at.
Am glad i had the opportunity of telling you how amazing and Challenging you are.
I remember the "Thank You" with your infectious Smile"
Wish tears could bring you back?
But i hear you say:
"Its no use coming back"
Its not possible to leave this place of:
"Victory, Glory, and beholding the face of HIM i longed to spend eternity with"
Our first Lady.
We celebrate you even in death.
And look to meeting you someday in Glory.

You served God and supported your husband in serving God till the end and now you have gotten heavenly wings and flew away to continue your service to God by joining the twenty and four elders. We rejoice and bless God . We pray for the family you left behind. Good night.

Adieu my beloved Nnedi, lover of Jesus. Heaven rejoices over the home-call for a higher promotion in everlasting presence of her maker.
 She lived a fulfilled life to the glory of her maker, a life worthy of praises to God. Humble, unassuming, lover of God and the Brethren.
Her death is a wake up call for all Christians to return back to our first love for Jesus when he called us.
God of all comfort will comfort our brother, Arc Odedo and the entire family for this irreparable loss.

We commiserate with the entire family of our Daddy Architect Ifeanyi Odedo over the Call unto Glory of our beloved mother , Late Mrs Nnedi Odedo.
Mummy was a huge blessing to us. Her life was well spent and worthy of emulation. Having her as Matron was something we always did with pride because she had proven herself to be a true mother to the fellowship who always had the fellowship at heart.
Her Home call was a fall of a star from the galaxy of Nigeria Christian Corpers' fellowship, Abuja Board of Patron/ Matron/ Advisers. Though, gone, but her legacies live on. We will always remember you Mummy.
May the Lord grant the family, loved ones and every other person affected, the fortitude to bear this loss in Jesus name.
Rest on Mummy in the bosom of our Lord, till we meet to part no more.
Long live the Odedo's family,
Long live the Nigeria Christian Corpses' Fellowship, Abuja Chapter.

The support you have your husband in his ministry assignment was visible to all. The Lord will grant the entire family the revelation to make your demise bearable in Jesus Mighty Name.

Nnedi Odedo, wife of our beloved National President, was one whose bodily presence spoke volumes in virtue, even without a word.
FGBMFI, and indeed earth, lost a Gem, Heaven gained an Angel.

Just heard less than ten minutes about Nnedi passing on .Nnedi Ike , quiet , focused and always had a smile was a few years my junior and was with us in SCM in UNN .
We will greatly miss sis Nnedi .
We know that to be absent in this body is to be present with the Lord. We cannot but allow ourselves to be human .Chaììi
Nnedi , we will fellowship together agsin on resurrection morning .
Adieu , dear sister . 

What a lovely, humble and God loving lady you were. Never carrying an air of position around you, but always desiring spiritual growth, wanting progress in the things of God and directing people towards the one you loved most, Jesus.
During my last visit to Abuja, you were really excited to see me and immediately asked that I accompany you out next day.
I appreciate you always.
Sister, as you've finally made your entrance to that city, I can imagine your presence will cause more activities of singing and admiring the one you always loved. Shouts of joy that you made it at last and the applause of angels welcoming you home.
Be reminded though, that right here our hearts are heavy and broken. The remembrance of our Father's consolation brought some relieve but you will always be remembered. Your departure has created a very big gap.
I join other brethren to pray for our brother Ifeanyi and your children that they will be comforted by the Holy Spirit and have an experience of peace that passes all human understanding.
Sleep on beloved sister, sleep and take your rest till the resurrection morning.
Kenny Olubanjo

"Though the Christian has no immunity from death and no claim to perpetual life on this planet, death to him/her is a friend rather than a foe - the beginning rather than the end - another step on the pathway to heaven rather than a leap into a dark unknown" (Dr. Billy Graham).
Mrs Nnedi Odedo, who is my professional colleague was humility personified. She has joined the saints triumphant, having run God's appointed race. Her legacies that are manifest in her husband, children, FGBMFI and Christians generally will always speak for her.
Though her exit is painful, we are comforted by God's Word that she died in the Lord and having her rest in God's paradise. May God strengthen the husband, children and everyone reading this and make us ever ready to meet the Lord and our sister; to part no more again.

It is well with the righteous, precious in the sight of the Lord the death of His beloved for eternal rest is their potion (emphasis added ). Rest well at the bossom of the Lord. You lived and fulfil purpose. You will ever be remembered for the live you have impacted. Adieu.
Rev &Pst Taiwo Abigail Sewusi

Mrs Nnedi Odedo was an exceptional personality. The length of her days may have been short but the impact was surely great, her exit may be painful but it is surely a transition to greater glory. We pray for the unlimited grace and strength of the almighty God for Arc Ifeanyi Odedo, his family and the FGBMFI family.
Mr & Mrs Jude Ayoka.

Even though your works and legacies are speaking volume on earth, but Mummy you left so early. Rest on in the Bossom of the Lord. We greatly missed you
Mrs Miracle Ndubisi- Kano Zone

We, the Land Lift kano zone was thrown into deep sorrowful mood on hearing the heart breaking news yesterday. I, personally was like "Lord why will it be your servant, Arch Odedo" ? "Lord why now?. I am sure if there is one thing this loving couple desired so much in life, it is to retire into old age together when they will sit and share their memories of how they served the Lord together. What an unrealized expectation?
A woman that my wife so loved, always reading of her at any given opportunity, A woman I so much looked up to while moulding my wife into the service and the work of the vision. If there is someone we expected for this loss, she is no where near the list. What a shock? Many questions still going on in my mind which the Lord alone will answer. May the Lord fill the gap for us and console His servant Arch Odedo and her children in Jesus name

It is well. God's faithfulness is sure. We have another angel added to the heavenly host. God bless Odedo's, ECWA and FGBMFI. Amen

All my eyes could see was you waving your hands at Lagos National Convention 2018 when you were introduced by the MC That Friday Night. When the News of you sleeping in Glory got to me,I never knew you were waving to tell us ' see you on the other side of eternity'. You were more than what The MC described That Night. We will not weep like people without hope because I'm so sure we will meet on that resurrection Morning. This great Family FGBFMI will surely miss you especially The Ladies of the Fellowship. Sleep Well Ma.

Mrs. Nnedi Odedo, life is a mixture of various steps, there is time for everything here on Earth and in Heaven above. Our faith teaches us that the death of the righteous is a continuation of life in eternity. Life has just changed not ended for the faithful people of God. Your life has just been changed accordingly. Your death should be understood as transformation and not destruction. Your transition was fully divine, while reposing our hopes in the promise of resurrection and life eternal.
May your works and memory provoke inspiration for greatness and development in Fgbmfi Ladies of the Fellowship. Rest in peace Nwanyi oma.

You have not just passed on but my convinction that your labour of love for the unbelievers to turn to Christ and your generosity in reaching out to others will make way for you in the everlasting kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rest in peace my dear sister in the Lord and may God grant your husband, children, family and friends the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss by your exit. Amen.

WOG, you will be greatly missed. May your soul rest in the bosom of God almighty

My wife and I joined FGBMFI 1987 at the Launch of the Minna City Chapter of the Fellowship. Less than five years after Arc Ifeanyi Ofedo became my Field Representative while I was the Chapter President. The Odedo and Udensi families became family friends ever since then. Nnedi had always been my wife’s boss in FGBMFI but a combination of friendship and Nnedi’s rare humility would always wipe away disparity in positions. I recall when the two families landed at Abuja airport together some few year ago and I thought of sleeping at Sharon. Ogam, as I call Ifeanyi, refused but yours was vehement. You said to my wife, ‘Julie, we are sleeping in the house, not hotel’. My family will indeed miss a member. Good night Nnedi. Prof Emma and Prof Julie Udensi, fnip, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration) FUT, Minna & DC NCII FGBMFI

Mama Full Gospel Nigeria as we fondly call you, my wife and I couldn't believe the shocking news as we read on a friend's WhatsApp post to us and later on NC1 and NC5 Platform. Each time I look at you all I see is a replica of our National President both physically and spiritual. You have imparted generations. Today, the entire world is speaking of your good works even when tested with fire it can't be burnt. A mother and woman of steel you are. We shall ever cherish you and the memory of you will ever be fresh. Continue to live on till we meet at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ where we shall part no more. My family can't say goodbye. We love you ma.

For the Omotowas

We prayed, and the Lord answered...He is our father who loves us and you too. You have done your race, you will be missed! You mentored women, raised and strengthened our ladies of the Fellowship, My wife in particular had just one meeting with you and says what a beautiful soul you are.

We will meet again...on that morning, yes and the righteous do not die, they just changed address.

I remember vividly when I met Nnedi as the wife of my friend and current National President of Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship in Nigeria and she informed me of serving in Benin city for her NYSC . She served in the office of Pius Momodu &Co , one of the leading firm of Chartered Accountants in Benin City at that time . I was running a Firm of Charteted Accountants in Benin city but I did not meet her . From that connection to Benin City and accountancy profession I became interested in her professional development . I was greatly impressed and happy when inspite of marital obligations and work requirements, sat for, and passed the finals examination of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and was inducted as an Associate member ACA . She became a great asset to the profession and was ever proud and satisfied to be a member of the profession upholding the ethics and code of conduct strictly .
She called me her uncle while I honoured and called her my colleague . In her humility, she would reply by saying we are not in the same category . Humble , lively and cheerful she wouldn’t hurt a fly . Nnedi respected elders always . Wealth, position , education and family background never hindered her from respecting or honouring of elders . The last time I saw her at Asaba in a meeting held at the instance of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International she humorously told me my jacket made of material printed with FGBMFI Convention logo was special and beautiful . I did not expect that it will be the last time I will ever speak to the beautiful ,caring , lovely ,spiritual and highly professional Nnedi .
Nnedi you were a star in our profession . Your type is difficult to find . We cannot forget you . You have gone ahead of us . We look forward to meeting you on the resurrection day . It is not good bye . It is good night . Rest In Peace . 
.

Nnedi, we the family of FGBMFI cannot express our shock at the news of your sudden death. It was the rudest shock ever. But we have our comfort and solace in the Lord that He gave and He takes. We thank God for your well spent life in the Kingdom work. You made an indelible mark as a wife, mother and in the Kkngdom work. Your memory will remain with us forever. Sleep on in bosom of your Lord and maker until that day when we shall see to part no more.
