BEFORE HIS DEATH WE ARE HAPPY HUSBAND AND WIFE CHRISTIAN FAMILY. SINCE HIS
DEATH I DECIDED NOT TO REMARRY OR GET A CHILD OUTSIDE MY MATRIMONIAL HOME

SUM OF (USD $10.7 MILLION ) TEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS
INTO A BOX FOR SECURITY REASON AND THE MONEY STILL WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY

WANT YOU AND YOUR CHURCH TO USE THIS FUND FOR ORPHANAGES, WIDOWS,
PROPAGATING THE WORD OF GOD AND TO ENDEAVOUR THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD IS
MAINTAINED.

GOING TO BE IN THE HAND OF THE LORD EXODUS 14 VS 14 SAYS THAT THE LORD WILL
FIGHT MY PROBLEMS AND I SHALL HOLD MY PEACE .AND HEBREW 9:VS;27 SAID THAT IT
IS APPOINTED ONTO MAN ONCE TO DIE BUT AFTER THAT COMES JUDGMENT ,
I AM DONATING THIS MONEY AS A SEED FOR THE LORD TO FORGIVE WHATEVER THAT IS
MY SIN AND ACEPT ME AS ONE OF THE HOLY PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
I WANT YOU TO ALWAYS PRAY FOR ME BECAUSE THE LORD IS MY STREIGNT .MY
HAPPINESS IS THAT I LIVED A LIFE OF A WORTHY CHRISTIAN. WHOEVER THAT WANTS
