"Oh ! Dr Uma !
Oh Papa Uma !
Sometimes you wish some people would never die. What a man !
Just a few days ago I was inspired to lead multitudes in an evening fast. Something I learnt from you and did mention so.
You called me SON. What a privilege.
A man of God INDEED. One of great power and immense stature and impact . A man who knew the ways of the spirit, who knew how to deploy praise and worship in spiritual warfare and the supernatural. We ache but heaven rejoices.

Good night papa @uma_ukpai !"
