Sympathisers trooped out at the weekend in Yenagoa to mourn the demise of the wife of the former Bayelsa Commissioner for Information, Chief Nathan Egba.
The remains of late Mrs. Rosemarie Eneotse Egba were committed to mother earth at her husband’s residence, in Okaka, Yenagoa Local Government, on Saturday.
Mrs. Egba, a fashion designer, who hailed from Benue State, was residing in Abuja, before her demise on August 20, 2020 after a brief illness. She was 44 years old.
A service of songs, was organised by the Salvation Ministries, at DSP Alamieyesigha Memorial Banquet Hall, Yenagoa, the Bayelsa Capital preceding the burial.
Prayer sessions were held for the widower and the two children, whom she left behind. The prayers were offered by pastors from Salvation Ministries.
In his words of exhortation, Pastor Sinikiem Gwegwe, of Salvation Ministries, described the Late Commissioner’s wife, as a dynamic person imbued with many talents.
Quoting from the book of Proverbs Chapter 19 Verse 20, he lamented that people always think of money, property, power, positions and other worldly materials, stressing that death ends every human desire.
According to him, “if you are lucky in life, your body may be intact when you die,” stressing that “many people had died without their dead bodies recovered.
“There is a purpose for everyone that is created on Earth. The choice we make today determines the way we live our lives.
“We must always remember to impact lives in whatever we do as human beings, on our daily activities,” he counseled.
The Cleric, emphasised that nobody knows when the time would come, recalling that Jesus Christ lived for only 33 years and some months before His death.
He urged the people to make amends, noting that whether one likes it or not, he or she would appear before the Creator.
The cleric urged Chief Nathan Egba, to rise up to the challenge and show boldness for the sake of the young children his late wife left behind.
In his remarks, Chief Nathan Egba, described his late wife as a good and kind hearted person.
He said during her last days on Earth, she kept praying for the whole family, and friends that she came across.
Egba, prayed God to accept her soul in His bosom, and grant her eternal rest.
In his speech, the Executive Secretary, Nigeria Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) Engr. Simbi Wabote, described the departed as a good and kind-hearted wife, that always believed in friendship.
