Mrs okwuchi nwogu
February 02, 2022My dearest cell leader and mummy iriri as i fondly call u.
Words will not fail me to express how I feel that u are no more. You were one of the strongest people I have ever met, your memories will forever live in my heart. Till date I still cannot believe I will not see u anymore
I remember when I travelled in 2018,you were constantly calling to ensure I was ok and updating me on all church activities. You were also checking up on my children and giving them morale advice like your own children
Your active participation in the cell and church activities even at your age always gives me an encouragement to do more.. You carried venue management function and activities on your head as if ur life was dependent on that. Your are everly ready to travel to any church function not minding your age and health issues. Your were just the best in all what do. The cell and the entire christ embassy church 7th Ave will miss you greatly
I was hoping to see and gist you about this my American journey when I eventually come back home, but God knows best..
You served the lord with your giving and time. Your age was never a barrier. You were a lioness, one of a kind, a disciplinarian and a motivator per excellence. May the lord give all of us the fortitude to bear this loss.
Sleep well, till we meet again my dear mummy iriri.
Iyasele Anthony chukwuemeka
January 27, 2022The memories I have of you speaks volumes of a great mother, who came, saw and conquered. May your soul and that of all faithful departed RIP. May God grant Benjamin and everyone else you left behind the fortitude to bear your absence until we meet again.

You are in a better place now, free from pain and worries. May your gentle soul Rest In Peace. Amen.

January 31, 2022To an amazing warm hearted lady . A lady in the true sense of the word who welcomed so many people into her home and life. A woman who always supported and loved her children unconditionally and was alway there for them. It was an honour and a privilege to know you and my heartfelt sympathy to your all family for their loss, particularly Ray and Susan.
Rest in peace. I know you are still there watching over your children. Love Gillian
Alex nwaobia
January 27, 2022Very hospitable mother to so many of us young men in those days. We could be sure and hopeful of a good meal, a place to sleep and great advice. Funny down to earth, almost too playful for her age. Sadly a lot of us didn’t have the opportunity to repay her for her immense kindness and benevolence towards us. However, we will continue to remember her jovial personality, and do our best to emulate her great virtues too. Rest in the pleasant blossom of our Lord ,finally, perfect peace lay ahead in paradise for you dear mother.

January 27, 2022Mummy Franka . You are many things to me. Words would not be sufficient to express my experience living with you. One of my most unforgettable moments is that you taught me how to read and write in school and boasted about my ability in the open so others can learn.
You loved my children sincerely and that’s alot of consolation. All is well that ends well. To God we came from and unto Him is our return.
Kingsley monye
January 27, 2022Mummy! Like I always call you. It’s hard to believe that you are gone. You were so kind and welcomed everyone into your home with love. Despite the distance, memories of you still fill me anytime I remember the advice you found pleasure in sharing with me and my friends back then in Festac Town and will forever be cherished. We found consolation in you whenever you speak to us. We were always looking to have a conversation with you anytime you were near us. It’s gone now! Never to comes back, oh. How sad I feel until now! Heaven gained an Angel and you will forever be missed. Rest on Mummy!
Amb. Dr.Edonyabo Anthony
January 27, 2022Aunty, I was watching the video comments you did on the documentary about my mom when I got the news of your demice. I still can’t accept you are gone. Auntie, when my mum came back from Jordan, you called me to say I should work towards making you travel with the next trip to Jerusalem, Aunty, I didn’t hesitate to give you my words because you deserved more than the best, you were so attentive, caring, loving, Aunty we proposed, God disposes but one thing for sure is that your memories will continue to remain in our hearts

Paul Efayena
February 01, 2022Dearest Aunty,
The amount of pain and sorrow your passing has caused to those you have left behind is testament to what an amazing person you were. I always say that if a person lives their life well, especially in the service of others by doing good deeds and having an impact on the lives of their loved ones and anyone they encounter, the sorrow they leave in their passing will be great. You my Aunty have left great sorrow which is testament to how great you were to all who knew you. You are surely resting in perfect peace in the bosom of the most high where you now rightfully belong, but your memory’s and good deeds will stay with us the living for eternity.

January 29, 2022My Super Woman, Mummy, I still cannot believe you are no more! I last saw you on the 5th of January 2013. My last conversation with you was barely a week before the news of your slump. We spoke about the usual and you wished me well as always telling me you were just calling to check on me and was hoping for my wellness in general and emphasised on us communicating more often. I never knew this was going to e our last communication.
You will be remembered for your loving nature, your loyalty, generosity, dedication to humanitarian services and your infectious nature of friendliness towards everyone you ever came across. It’s an honour to have been birthed by you and I can tell whether you are right now, you’re smiling down on us hoping for the best for us. You will forever be my super woman

Peter Paulisch
January 29, 2022My Name is Peter Paulisch and I have a friendly relationship to Benie Iriri. He told me that his dear mother past away. I didn’t know her as a member of the human family we are all related The Bible shows us that we are through Noah one family. A hope we find is for example in Acts 24:15 “And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.” That is the promise of our heavenly father Jehovah God. My consolation to all. Greetings or love from Germany.
Zaynab Enakimio
January 29, 2022I’m lost for words. I remember hearing many stories of mummy when I was in high school- Ejiro would tell us the most beautiful and hilarious stories and one thing was persistent- Mummy, you were a mother indeed.
I experienced it for myself one break i spent in Festac, mummy took me in, treated me like she’d known me my whole life and no different from her own.
It is well! This is a shocking loss, but her memory is forever etched in my heart. Rest well ma.
May God comfort and strengthen the family.

January 30, 2022As I write this, many months after your passing, the pain stills hurts as if you died yesterday.
Iya Onigba, my multitalented , outstanding motivating MOM, why did you have to agree to death. You had always stated your belief that you would live up to a hundred and twenty years but alas it was not to be , You left at a tender age of seventy four.
I take solace in the fact that you lived a life full of life. You lived life on your terms, a life of passionately defending all that your loved and stood for.
As I Went about the task of building your tomb, I was constantly reminded of the ease with which you handled all the odd jobs and handy work that needed to be done around you. You definitely left huge gap in the lives of all that met you.
Till we meet again on resurrection, I say Adieu Mumsie, I love you
OMA IRIRI

I was in school when I was told that you were sick. I never believed that I would not come back to see you again. You were such a strong woman that I can’t believe that you are dead.

CHIEF KINGS IRIRI
January 31, 2022Writing a tribute to you is kind of difficult because i do not know how to put your transition to words but will start with my first encounter with you. It was in january 1979, precisely the 5th of January when my late brother, your husband and yourself came to pick up from the village to live with you at 9 idowu street Olodi Apapa. I remember the love you showered on the entire family which was a testament to your love for my brother, and how you managed the house in the room and parlor we lived in at the time. How you woke up early in the morning to make sure everything was in place before you went to school as a teacher. I remember the dedication with which you carried out assignments on building projects given to you by my late brother both in warri and in lagos and how you stood by him as a wife, as a friend and as a mother. You were a very welcoming mother to all of us who at any point in time stayed with my brother and this made it easy to fall in love with you. You treated everyone ( particularly me) that stayed with you like one of your children. That you are no more is still a rude shock to me in particular and many in the family. You were a good woman, you were good to a fault. I am a testimony to this goodness. Today you are gone and here i am writing a tribute to you. This is very painful, but who are we to question the will of God. Like the bible says ” in all situations, give glory to God” so i join your children today and well wishers to say thank you for touching my life and the lives of countless others while you lived on this earth, thank you for the love you shared while you were here. Thank you for the homes you helped to build while you were here. Thank you for everything and for always being there for me. Thank you fir being my mother,…thank you for being our wife, thank you for being my friend and may your beautiful soul rest on in perfect peace
SHERI

Bennie Ben-Iriri
January 31, 2022O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory
My dear Mother,
Asides being the matriarch of our household, you were a supportive wife, nurturing mother, dutiful sister, and a beloved daughter. You weren’t supposed to go just yet, not this soon and just not like this. Your passing though okayed by God, has left behind a vacuum in our lives.
Where do we go from here Mummy? Who or what will play the binding role you played in our lives? …Even though I have tried and will continue to try (for your sakes) the reality is that I am not you and not half as dedicated to this cause as you. My heart bleeds but I must remain strong and detached from emotions because only then can I function enough to do what needs to be done,
I wish I had not taken your superwoman strength for granted. Maybe I would have heard your cry for help and reacted like a dutiful son would. Maybe…,just maybe, things would have been different.
I must however thank you for being the kind of woman that you are. Even though I tried to discourage you from being too generous with your home…For opening your doors to everyone whether they were snakes or not, I am in retrospect happy and proud of you Ma, that you remained true to your person is testament to your character. You were indeed a beautiful soul and mother whose love for your kin and kith helped to build this wonderful community around you today. Perhaps death doesn’t mean goodbye, but rather, till we meet again Farewell sweet mother. Alas you have deservedly earned your wings.
PEARL FALOPE
January 31, 2022My sugar grandma, Im crying as im writtin this because i will never see you again. I slept on same bed with you since i was a baby and i dont know anyone that loves me like you d, nobody to take me to church, play with me, tell me i am unique and the best, nobody to cook for me or fight for me, Grandma i wish i never left you, i miss you so much and i appreciate the love you showed me, it was too extra and thats because youre the best. Even when i was going to school you cried not to stay far from yu. You told me to be a good girl always.Grandma you never let anybody come between us, you taught me so many things and gave me good advise, i dont know how you expect me to live without you because life is so cold and empty now without you, who will call me my pearl, my darling grand daughter, who will ask me to sleep with her, or match her back, grandma i promised to take care of you but you didn’t wait for me, you only took care of me, why not allow me do mine own back? All the dresses you sow with love for me, the hats and the way you take me everywhere and show me off, I am so speechless and cant believe you are gone.

January 31, 2022I met my dear Sis Iriri in 2004, in church, she was so warm and receptiveand glad to have me join her cell. She was a friend, a sister and a wonderful cell leader. She taught me how to win souls and visit members of church.
She was very caring person and was always there at the times I needed support. I will miss her so much for her kindness words of counsel and sisterly love. Although it’s painful that you passed unto glory, but am comforted that you are with the Lord in a place of bliss.
Adieu , my dearest friend and sister. Keep resting till we meet at the master’s feet on the day of rature.
From
Sis Christy Okunkpolor.

February 01, 2022Writing a tribute to you is kind of difficult because i do not know how to put your transition to words but will start with my first encounter with you. It was in january 1979, precisely the 5th of January when my late brother, your husband and yourself came to pick up from the village to live with you at 9 idowu street Olodi Apapa. I remember the love you showered on the entire family which was a testament to your love for my brother, and how you managed the house in the room and parlor we lived in at the time. How you woke up early in the morning to make sure everything was in place before you went to school as a teacher.
I remember the dedication with which you carried out assignments on building projects given to you by my late brother both in warri and in lagos and how you stood by him as a wife, as a friend and as a mother. You were a very welcoming mother to all of us who at any point in time stayed with my brother and this made it easy to fall in love with you. You treated everyone ( particularly me) that stayed with you like one of your children.
That you are no more is still a rude shock to me in particular and many in the family. You were a good woman, you were good to a fault. I am a testimony to this goodness. Today you are gone and here i am writing a tribute to you. This is very painful, but who are we to question the will of God. Like the bible says ” in all situations, give glory to God” so i join your children today and well wishers to say thank you for touching my life and the lives of countless others while you lived on this earth, thank you for the love you shared while you were here. Thank you for the homes you helped to build while you were here. Thank you for everything and for always being there for me.
Thank you for being my mother,…thank you for being our wife, thank you for being my friend and may your beautiful soul rest on in perfect peace

Mrs. Franca Iriri has been known to my family for many years, probably when my family moved into 511 Rd A Close. She was quite friendly and willing to assist anyone, anytime during her life time. For instance, she acquired new knowledge about anything. She is always willing to share with others. Especially she was very active particularly in skill acquisition in different variety of hand crafts which she prodded me to participate. Indeed, l will miss Mrs. Iriri because whenever l had problem concerning snail or garden vegetable she would come and look at them and advise according.
We love Mrs. Iriri but God love her more. May her soul rest in Peace. Amen.

February 02, 2022Mommie as we always call you.
Leaves have their time, Flowers have its time to set.
But thou O Death have all seasons of your own
As the day passes by, l still think it I’d a dream when. I think about you and sometimes pick my phone to call you only to remember that you are no more. You are the strongest and most hard working woman l know on earth. Death dealt a final blow to that strength. I didn’t know that last chat l had with you in the ward was the final one neither did l know that the hand shake was going to be the last. My heart is broken, only God can heal it. I know you are in a better and happier place. I will always love and miss you but God loves more and He alone can fill the vacuum that your departure created in out lives. Adieu mummy, continue to rest in the blossom of the Lord.
Your daughter.

February 02, 2022A TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR COUSIN.
My dear cousin Late Mrs. Francisca Otumiruke Iriri ñee Ogilo. Though the news your demise shocked me, I know that it pleased Almighty God as you passed on to His glory. I missed your ever smiling face with unique golden voice to match. Your disposition which attracted many to you can not be forgotten.
A disciplined cousin who always followed due process for peace. Your last visit to your ancestral home was with the view of setting things right especially your final resting place. Hardly we knew that the time was up. You concealed it because it was between you and your Maker. To God be the glory.
Sis, as I fondly called you, you are remembered for your:-
Love for us with smiling dispositions to welcome all.
Ecclesiastes 1:7. All rivers run into the sea yet the sea is not full, into the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return to you. You are welcome to your ancestral home IJMN. Amen.
Mama due process Rest in Peace.
For the children and rest of us, Mama Franca had joined the Church Triumphant to praise the Lord with the Saints. She will never die again.
May God’s love overwhelm you and all of us always for Christ sake. Amen.

February 02, 2022I remember the last time I left Nigeria. Mummy was the last person I hugged. She prayed for me and I told her to hurry up that taxi was waiting. I’m not hurt you have to leave because where you left to.. your father and mother also left to. One day I will leave here too to be with you also. We spoke extensively about life and death especially 2020. And you told me so much of what you want after your demise. You are a strong woman. I feel shortened with words writing a tribute. When all over my life is your tribute. Over your children is your tribute. Growing up as a child I never knew what life was. I passed through hurts. Love disagreement anger. Etc. you stood by me in some and some you left me on my own. I never knew why until now I became a man. I can honestly say to my greatest confidence that you became my best friend. We spoke every day. Texted and shared everything over time and I never forget to say I love you. Because I know time isn’t promised. I know that you are still with us cos Saints don’t die. Their bodies are replaced as angels PS. The female child you always prayed for which I never wanted a female child. I know you couldn’t wait to see her. Well Tuviere here now. Do what you know best I’d stick around until I see you again

February 04, 2022Mummy, your death came as a shock. I will forever miss you. I moved into 511 opposite your house and as a new mom, you took me into your life, you did omugwo for my 5 children while my mum was in the East. I went through the darkest moments of my life but you supported me. You would cook Urhobo pepper soup each time I gave birth and bath me. I actually thought you would run when I had my last twins.. but you woke up every morning to still help me. You made life easy for me. Thank you for all the times you stood by me. I am the only woman pushing double baby trolly up and down 511 to your house. I was depressed and would abandon the kids sometimes and go and pick them when I was okay, by then, mummy would have bath my kids and would scold me on arrival. We go still fight and settle. I can never forget you. May you find rest.

February 04, 2022The news of mummy Iriri’s passing shook my very being, I’m yet to come to terms with the fact that she has gone to be with the lord. I had gone to visit her like a month before and she told me she was traveling to delta and when she returns she would help me make a special cane ( walking stick) for my sisters wedding. Unfortunately I never got to see her again. Even when I was informed she was ill I was so certain that her good works in the house of the lord and her genuine love for people would speak for her to ensure she came out from the illness, however mummy chose to leave this sinful world to be in the bosom of the lord. I would always miss her care and love towards me and my family especially my dad who has been ill or is it when she calls me to come eat starch with banga soup specially made by her or the motivation from seeing her clean and arrange the church and crusade grounds when the younger ones wouldn’t. She was such an inspiration and full of love, dependable and caring.
Her memories will forever remain a blessing.
Continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord, till we meet again where there will be no goodbyes.

February 15, 2022Mum, you wore your pain with immaculate strength & grace. Your life was a true amalgam of poise, celebration, audacity & unconquerable love for your children & all who had the privilege of knowing you. It was always my singular honor to be in your presence. You always treated me with respect, amiability & beneficence. You lived a life worthy of emulation & left a legacy impossible to plagiarize or replicate in our lifetime. Thank you for the laughter. The celebrations. The kindness. Your goodness will never be outshone. In your transition to Heaven’s corridors, keep smiling! Keep shining. There will never be another like you!
