Yesterday was a solemn and very sober evening.
We all gathered inside the expansive Eko hotel hall Lagos to mourn and celebrate the life of Nigeria’s golden banker and Nigeria’s finest, Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe, who we lost last month with his wife, Chizoba, and his son Chizi in one swoop.
It was a glittering gathering of the best and brightest in our society, inside one hall.
From Africa’s richest man,Aliko Dangote, to the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu
It was an emotional evening, and the tears can’t stop flowing.
I saw strong men like Aliko Dangote crying, giving way to emotion, and reminding the rest of us that for all that wealth and power
We are still humans, with blood flowing in our veins.
As the tears were flowing inside the hall,
The grieving family did not give Pastor Siju, her husband, Pastor Idowu, and then saw top Nigerian bank executive who was dancing Agba baller with the insensitive couple, a platform to address the crowd about what they knew about late Wigwe.
I did not know if Dr. Siju and her husband were invited, but I saw Tony inside the hall.
Romans 12 vs. 15 said
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”
A close family member throwing a party or shaking her waist, dancing to Agba baller when a family is mourning is an enemy and should be treated as such.
