Christians have been advised to live exemplary lives worthy of emulation, as death remains an inevitable end for every human being.

This was the submission of the Vicar-in-Charge of Christ Anglican Church, Mapo, Ibadan, Venerable David Aina, at the wake-keep for the late Mr Emmanuel Morenikeji, held at his residence on Eleta–Owode Academy Road, Ibadan.

Taking his Bible text from the book of Matthew, Chapter 28, Verse 1, Venerable Aina said Christians must live upright lives so that when they depart this world, their good works would speak for them, just as seen in the life of the late Mr Morenikeji.

While recounting the life and times spent together, the wife of the deceased, Mrs Funmilola Morenikeji, described her husband as a responsible man who positively impacted his community, immediate and extended family, as well as the church of God.

The first son of the deceased, who is also a Manager in the Programmes Department of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, Ibadan Zonal Station, and Treasurer of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Oyo State Council, Mr Moses Morenikeji, noted that his father was a devoted Christian and a lover of peace.

The burial of Mr Emmanuel Morenikeji continues on Friday at Christ Anglican Church, Mapo, Ibadan, while interment will take place at the Church Cemetery, Ayegun, Ibadan.

Reception will follow immediately after the interment at the Christ Anglican Church, Mapo Hall, Ibadan.

Mr Emmanuel Olulere Morenikeji passed away last month at the age of seventy-four.
