Few people get to transit from being utterly indispensable to “eternally unforgettable.” A real mother does. And if she is some father-in-law to treasure, he may be succeeded but he can never be replaced. This truth amongst so many others manifested in the manner in which billionaire businessman, Prince Tonye Princewill is planning to bury buried his father-in-law, John Osoba Iyamabo. Nobody ever makes a lovely corpse but when he was alive, Princewill’s father in-law characterized the essence of loveliness and more. Now that he has passed on, Tonye’s wife, would fight the battle of her life never to let go, the wonderful, sweet memories bequeathed to her by her late father.
The ceremony would attract the crème-de-la-crème of Nigeria’s high society and business community who would troop out en masse to commiserate with one of their own. There was a Service of Songs at Jesus House, 112 Brent Terrace, Brent Cross, London NW2 1LT, U.K, and reception at 22 Oakhill Avenue, Pinner, Middlesex HA5 3DN, U.K, last Saturday. At the event in London, the goodwill enjoyed by Princewill was brought to full display as many of his friends, family, political and business associates trooped out to participate in the celebration of life of his departed father-in-law. The ceremony brought out one of the largest crowds in the London’s high society.
The event boasted a cool list of guests mingling the worlds of politics, business, entertainment and high society. The much-loved politician sought to break tradition and redefine pomp and lavish celebrations as he treated his guests to the best of a good time. However, come Friday 9 June, there would be lying in state at No. 9, Tony Anenih Road, Off Boundary Road, G.R.A Benin City, and Funeral Service at R.C.C.G Abundant Life Parish, Boundary Road, G.R.A Benin City, Edo State.
