Moses was more than just a childhood friend; he was a classmate who shared in the joys and simplicity of our primary school days in Nigeria. I’ll always cherish those memories.
May God comfort and strengthen you, and may the fond memories of Moses bring you peace and solace.
Rest in peace, my dear Moses Ode Idah.

Such a great loss. Moses was not just a brother but a beloved friend with whom we shared intimate moments and reflected on life. He was so caring and loving. We will forever miss you Adieu,my buddy.
The news of the death of Moses Ode Idah came to me and my wife, who is a relative of him, as a surprise and shocking. Moses has been a friend from his secondary school days. We were very close and attended many Christian meetings together. Even when he had left Nigeria, we were always in touch. Moses was always with us whenever he came home to have good time together. He was a very caring and generous man. We will sorely miss him especially his sense of humour. The consolation is that he was a Christian and will certainly be resting with our Lord Jesus. May his soul rest in peace.
Thank you sir 🙏
What a light to have lost. Our condolences to Jackie and the family. Moses was a joy to have known and spent time with. Warm hugs and thoughts to you all.
Jackie and family, our sincere condolences for the loss of Moses. Words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy to you. May Moses rest in eternal peace.
Amen thank you very much 🙏
Moses Ode Idah was a man who loved his relations and friends .
I lack words to express my grief right now. We grew up together and he was lively and always cheerful.

Good night, till we shall meet at Jesus feet.

TRIBUTE TO MOSES ODE IDA:
It is with deepest sorrow, disbelief and confusion that I write this tribute to you. You were a friend among many others; one who was sometimes easy and other times difficult to understand. The mystery of life and death remains incomprehensible to man. You have gone too soon. I wish that God would have spared your life for a longer time for so many things and reasons. But who am I to fully understand what God’s plan and will are? I wish you a peaceful rest in God’s bosom. Good night, my dear friend, until we meet again to continue with our friendship.
The news of your demise hit me like a nail driven into my nerves. I stood glue to the stirring of my car with my whole body shaking, tears started rolling down my cheeks. Your memory was sharp even after long time of not seeing me, you called me by my name the last time I saw you. We can’t question God for He is all knowing. Rest on namesake and uncle.
Death has dealt a hard blow and left a vacuum that cannot be filled. You were the best. Touching lives , always dependable . This battle was beyond you because I know you wouldn’t just go like that. The beautiful memories you left will be our succour. Rest on Uncle Moses
Such a great loss. Moses was not just a brother but a beloved friend with whom we shared intimate moments and reflected on life. He was so caring and loving. We will forever miss you Adieu,my buddy.

His mother and siblings in Nigeria and close friends were very important to him. He will be greatly missed and may almighty God grant him peace as he transition close to our Lord,Jesus Christ. May God grant peace as they deal with his passing. Amen.

My condolences, Uncle
I pray that he rests in peace, and that the Lord welcome him into His arms. Amen
May the family be strengthened. By the Lord’s grace, they’ll move forward. Amen
