“Dear SOUL BROTHER Ogenyi Philip, just two weeks after your wedding, you went to hospital with your precious wife for child delivery.”
“After a successful delivery, just for you to go get some items from home back to the hospital, you never returned to the hospital but travelled to great beyond
“You could not even name your handsome boy. Philip, who does that? Could it be your fate that you’ll never see your own child? Again, dear philip, who accepts such ugly fate?
“SOUL BROTHER Philip,as you return back to ashes tomorrow, we your brothers will be coming from today’s night for the last homage but we ask you for a thing: Be the first and the last amongst us to travel this young.
