Abiara said, “We got married in 1965 but
before then, she had been close to God because her late father,
Evangelist Adasofunjo, was a renowned man of God. She was the only child
of her mother and she was obedient from childhood till the day God
called her.
before then, she had been close to God because her late father,
Evangelist Adasofunjo, was a renowned man of God. She was the only child
of her mother and she was obedient from childhood till the day God
called her.
“She had been sick for the past three
weeks, but she was talking and taking part in normal daily activities.
But the Spirit of God told me that God was about to call her. After a
prayer session at the hospital, I left her a day before she died and in
the following evening, I came back and jokingly asked her if she was
about to be delivered of another set of twins because we have three sets
of twins. We prayed again and sang seven Halleluyah. After the last
one, she breathed her last.”

The bereaved man of God added that the highpoint of his late wife’s life was her generosity and humility.
“She never kept malice just as the Bible
commands. With her, I never knew any suffering or hunger because she
took good care of me. She was not my wife, but my mother. Just as God is
forever gentle and humble, my wife was the same. I met her through her
father, who introduced me to her when I was a bachelor and I never
regretted marrying her. When we met, she was a fashion designer. We
hardly offended each other but anytime there was a minor disagreement,
we looked up to the Word of God that preaches love.”

Despite still mourning the loss of his wife, Abiara took time to reflect on the economic problem facing Nigeria.
According to him, it is a phase that
will pass. He noted that great nations in the world had, at one time or
the other, experienced the same hardship.

“My wife’s death and what has happened
to me is a lesson to Nigerians. No matter the suffering, we should
always seek the face of God. The economic hardship we are experiencing
in Nigeria now is a phase that will pass. Any country can experience it.
We should be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari because he will
not perform magic to bring changes.”
