Peaceful And Befitting Burial Of Chief Watchman: Peresine Thanks God, Appreciates Orubebe, Edevbie, Angalabiri, Others

On behalf of the Eyinimisu family and late Chief Watchman’s Children, I wish to use this medium to express my heartfelt thanks to the Almighty God for making everything easy and possible for us to give our late father (the Amaokosiowei of Toru-Angiama) a successful, peaceful and befitting burial. The three days funeral activities went smoothly and peacefully to the glory of God. Despite the enormous crowd that came to the burial last Thursday, February 11, 2021, there was no fight, no accident, no breaking of bottles, no injury, no rain and no stopping of music. Saturday February 13, 2021 final funeral rite event, too was very glorious, and everybody came safely and went back safely, to the glory of God. My heavenly Father, I give you all the glory, adoration and thanks.

My profound gratitude goes to my political Leader and Spiritual Father, Pastor Godsday Peter Orubebe, CON, whom God sent to fill the vacuum the departure of my late parents have created in my life. Sir, I am immensely grateful for your show of love, care and contributions, and I pray God to give you long life and grant you good news that will make your friends and enemies congratulate you and celebrate with you this month, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Distinguished Senator James Ebiowou Manager for his support. May God protect you and bless you abundantly Sir…

I am delightfully grateful to all the members of Eyinimisu family, especially the Chairman of the Burial Planning Committee, Mr. Holiday Eyinimisu and all the children and grandchildren of late Double Chief Watchman Eyinimisu. Big thanks to my beloved wife and children. May God have mercy and open heaven of riches, long life, peace, unity, more wisdom, all round prosperity, and divine favour to all of us, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Time and space will not allow me to mention all the names of those who joined the Eyinimisu family and Watchman’s children to give our father a befitting burial. Please, forgive me for not mentioning your names to appreciate you specifically. I may miss the road to heaven if I continue mentioning names to appreciate you… Like I said before, I had never seen a burial that carried a very large crowd like my father’s for the burial ceremonies I had attended… I never knew that my father’s burial would turn to carnival. I must say unequivocally that money would have not bought the kind of love you showed to my father and his children on his burial day, but good lifestyle, good name and the grace of God did…

It is my sincere prayers for God to give all those who contributed one way or the other, and all those who came to grace the burial of my father the spirit of long life, for all of us to live to become the oldest men and women in our Communities and Kingdoms, with peace, good health and all round prosperity, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Peresine Watchman,
Son of the deceased/Secretary, Burial Planning Committee.
