“Why haven’t you made a post for Sammie since he passed?”<\/p>\n

“Sammie will not see the post” has been my answer to this question… several times lately.
\nThat’s the exasperating thing about these post-humous posts. They’re not like birthday greetings. We’re not expecting that in a few days, the guy would post a thank-you message appreciating all who took out time to “felicitate with me on the occasion of my passing…”<\/p>\n

Let me share with you, instead, what I said to Sammie in one of our conversations; and
\nI’m so glad and grateful to God that I was able to speak these words to him before he departed.<\/p>\n

“God’s trusted warhorse! Weather-beaten, rugged warhorse.”<\/p>\n

Those were my first words as we embraced. At that, he flashed a generous smile, his brilliant white teeth, contrasting sharply with his dark (more like black) face.<\/p>\n

God trusts you, Sammie. God trusts you so much.<\/p>\n

*”All these secular dealings and places wey you de enter, you have never hidden the name of Jesus”.* I’ve never heard that you got on any of those platforms and changed your songs. *Na so so Jesus Jesus you de shout.*\"\"
\nYou’re a terribly misunderstood person. *I know say you waka rough.* *The last mess wey you mess never smell finish.* *But na you dem catch, no mean say na you do pass.*
\n*No lie down where you fall.* Get up and move on.<\/p>\n

Many have failed God in many ways. Their failings may be in financial, sexual or emotional infidelity, greed, anger management, lying etc. People who God has shown mercy and spared; people whose shame the Lord has covered are shouting for another to be crucified! Harsh judges of our frailties.<\/p>\n

If you listen to the crowd, you may not hear God.<\/p>\n

Some people harsh pass God.
\nI have interacted with many gospel and secular musicians and I know that too few are as humble, God-loving and man-loving as you are. Sammie, I thank God for your beautiful heart.
\nOzioma, soldier on!<\/p>\n
