In his sermon at Umuohia Ndiolumbe, the home of late Mr. Ahamefula Chisom Chikizie in Isiala Ngwa South LGA of Abia State, Rev. Pastor V. Iheanacho, who spoke on the theme: “Every Activity Of Man Has An End,” reminded guests to know that whatever they do here on earth, whether good or bad has an end.
He made the guests to understand through the book of Proverb 14:12 and Matthew 16:26 that whatever the acquisition of man, be it financial or material wealth, he will leave behind one day.
The clergy further emphasized that most of the acquisitions of man, whether rightly or wrongly ends up as vanity when the labourer must have died.
He further urged guests to make judicious use of their time while on earth to help those that are in need, and to try to live a life of emulation, even after they might have gone.
Speaking with Nigerian MomentumNews Online & Magazine, Mr. Anayochukwu Onyerimma (Igbo 1), the Mayor of Prince Elite Club of Nigeria, said they were at the country home of one of their own, Chief Sir Bright Chikizie, for the burial of his late senior brother.
He stated that their visit from Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital was not to celebrate, but to identify with Prince & Princess Bright Chikizie in their moment of grief.
Mayor Onyerimma, who described death as inevitable, prayed God to grant both the family of Prince Chikizie and the immediate family that late Mr. Ahamefula Chisom Chikizie left behind, the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
In the same vein, the duo of Prince Samuel Amadi, the MD/CEO of Samdis World Wide Solutions Limited and Chief Pius Onyemaizu, expressed their respective relationships with Chief Sir Bright Chikizie as a friend, club member and as a professional colleague in the business of freight forwarding.
They acknowledged that the sudden demise of late Mr. Ahamefula Chisom Chikizie at the age of 55 years was a big loss to the entire Chikizie family, and prayed God to give them the grace to cope with the vacuum that the sudden death of Ahamefula may have created in the family.
