A US-based Nigerian photojournalist, Chaplain (Dr) Kingsley Oluwatuyimise Bassey,, recently buried their mother-in-law in style. He paid his last respect online with his wife, Princess Victoria Aderemi, the last born of the late double queen, who slept in the Lord on Sunday, July 10, 2022, at the age of 105, with a church service at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Iloro Street, Igbara-Odo axis of Ekiti State, on the 15th and 16th of October 2022.
Guests were received, and ‘item seven’ followed immediately at St. Raphael’s Primary School playground.
Mrs Janet Ogunmola, 1st Fruit of the late Mrs Akodupeloro Mebinuola Oyedele Ojo, with other members of the late Queen, dignitaries, guests, families, and friends, expressed gestures towards a fulfilled life, leaving behind good legacies.
Men of God who honoured the invite described the Queen as a virtuous woman who impacted lives even in old age while she was alive, during the wake kept at her residence.
The Anglican parish priest admonished everyone present at the church service to live as if one will not wake to see another day: “Influence positively, impact lives with your widow’s mite, and note that all believers’ corpses will be honoured this way! She had an impact in the church, more reason the church held a service for her today.”
