Moses Ali Okpanachi

TRIBUTE TO A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, OUR GREAT ICON. MOSES ALI OKPANACHI Moses Ali Okpanachi, fca, your death came to so many ears too suddenly and shockingly. The why of it nobody, could comprehend. I came to understand that it is one of the principles of life that: “Bitter things last long in the mouth but sweet things do not”. It may be the possible reason why you left us too soon because you were so sweet to us. Your generosity, kindness and peace-making and giving know no bounds. Indeed, we have missed a great ICON that is hard to come by. Your unique ability to bridge differences and bring people together is epitomised in your common saying and I quote: I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than a lone in the night” What a man of the people you were Ali! May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord. Adieu Okpanachi, Shaibu Stephen, Ph.D. Your ever senior friend

Daddy Moses, It saddens me to hear of your sudden transition from this life to the eternal. Your wife our mother has always requested for prayers for you and told stories of how loving, and caring you have always been to her and your family. This news of your death cuts deep into our hearts. Having met you once in Idah and we agreed to find time and see in Kaduna but couldn't for several unforseen reasons. This was neither our plan nor expectations. But I am happy to hear and know that you were a good man, a good father and a great husband, a dependable friend and leader. These are the qualities I always admired in you even before meeting you closely. May these same virtues open the gates of heaven for you. May the mercies of God be abundant in your life and may your family you left behind find solace in the love and companionship of God and of his Holy Angels in Jesus name. We will continue to pray for your Happy Repose here and when you get to heaven please do mention our names before God our Almighty Father, until we reunite again in heaven. Rev Fr Nnanna Chinonso Christian (Parish Priest; St Augustine Tudun Wada, Kaduna, Chaplain; Our Lady of Victory Chaplaincy Kaduna Polytechnic Tudun Wada Kaduna).

Moses, I lost words to put down as a tribute as the news of your death has hit me down because no one will be able to replace the part you have played in my life to make me a better person. I met you in 1999 when your friend in Jos office sent me to you to help me, you became my brother and guardian with your wife and brothers. You will bring food for me in school and keep encouraging me to be the best. Your joy at all my success makes me stronger and you made sure I was the best in my class with promise of something to motivate me like my father. You advice and always tell me the realities of life even when is tough. You taught me to love God and He will always show up for me. Look at me now settled and did not have opportunity to take you to the best hospital as your baby sister. Not even a sign to pray for you as you always advise me to do. I do not have anyone to talk to and share secrets with any longer who will be sincere and correct me firmly and not take advantage of me. Moses you are endored with a pure Godly heart that I am yet to find in any man. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Rest on in the blossom of the Most High God.

Tribute to a Remarkable Mentor With a heavy heart, I write this tribute to a truly exceptional mentor whose impact on my life will never be forgotten. You were more than just a senior colleague —you were a guide, a motivator, and a source of inspiration. At a time when I felt uncertain about my path, you saw potential in me that I had not yet fully discovered in myself. You encouraged me to return to my studies while at our former workplace, reminding me that growth is a continuous journey and that it is never too late to become better. Your words were not just advice; they were seeds of transformation. Because of you, I found the courage to pursue knowledge again, and that decision has shaped my life in ways I will forever be grateful for. You led not only by instruction but by example—through your dedication, wisdom, and genuine concern for others. You believed in lifting people up, and I am a living testament to that kindness. Though you are no longer with us, your legacy lives on in the lives you touched, the dreams you ignited, and the paths you helped shape. I will carry your lessons with me always. Rest peacefully, dear mentor. Your influence will never fade. Ómá Apeh as you fondly called me 😭😭😭

Bro Ali. Though death may have taken you from my side, it can never take you from my heart. You taught me how to be strong, kind, and how to laugh even when things were tough. Finally I have come to accept the fact that you are gone forever and we can't undo it. My heart aches in a way I cannot put into words. I don't understand why God took you so soon. No farewell words were spoken, you were not sick, there was no time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Rest on my big brother. From Ochonia. (your Ochos baby as you fondly call me)

Words feel too small to truly capture the life and impact of Mr. Okpanachi Moses Ali. He was more than a brother and friend, he was a source of strength, wisdom, and kindness to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him especially in ODDA. I learnt a great deal from his academic and leadership quality when he waded in to straighten a financial detailing in ODDA, the action from which we shall keep benefiting forever. He lived a life marked by love, humility, and generosity. His presence brought comfort, his words gave guidance, and his actions spoke volumes about the kind of man he was. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and cared for, and that is a gift that will never be forgotten. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the lessons he shared, and the love he gave so freely. We will continue to carry his memory in our hearts and strive to live by the values he embodied. Rest peacefully, dear brother, and friend. You are deeply loved, and you will be forever missed.

Moses Ali Okpanachi This is a write-up that I found very difficult to write. I did not expect to have to go through this ordeal for you. I am still trying to come to term with it. I remember all you were to me from our first meeting when I got to Kaduna in 1997 up till when you were in Osogbo as aBranch Auditor. Your reception and the way you and Theresa treated me throughout my stay in Kaduna. Your assistance in ensuring my settling down, your actions during my marriage in 1999 at Ogwashiuku, the way you habour me during the Kaduna crisis of 2000. You became more than a subordinate, you became a friend and graduated to a brother. It is inconceivable that you are no longer around to call to lambast for not calling me, you are no longer available to call your younger sister as you call my wife. Adieu Ali till we meet to depart no more. You are gone with your cheerful smiles and uncontifiable joy. I miss you my brother.

You were my vary good friend I fine it had to believe that you are no more,but we can not question the will of God, you were full of life and care and support you will be greatly miss may God grant your soul eternal rest and may pepatual light shine upon you Rip my friend

‎Dear Mrs Theresa Okpanachi, The loss of a relative is ordinarily sad, distressing and traumatizing, and more so when the departed is not only a relative, but a father, a husband, a life partner, a soulmate and more. ‎The news of the sudden demise of your beloved husband came to us at the Church of the Holy Eucharist with a rude shock because we were never prepared by any hint of il health about him. However, as Christian, we surrendered our shock and tears to Christ our Lord who wept with us at Bethany. We are also comforted by His assurring words that whoever believes in him will live again even if he dies (John 11:25). May our faith in the resurrection in Christ give us strength; May Our Eucharistic Lord accompany your family with his presence and support throughout this trying times; May the soul of Mr Moses Ali Okpanachi and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace! Amen!

"We're still trying to process that you're gone, Alimos. Your sudden departure has left a gaping hole in my family, and We're struggling to come to terms with it. But amidst the pain, We're grateful for the memories we shared, the laughter, the tears, and the countless moments we navigated life together. You were more than just a family friend – you were oue rock, our confidant, our brother. You bore our burdens, celebrated our wins, and stood by us through thick and thin. Your selflessness, kindness, and generosity inspired us so much. Who else do we call when life's challenges overwhelm us? You gave us no inkling at all. You accepted to be included in the list of The Committee of Friends for our brother in law's burial, but you did not live to be part of the burial. Why do good people not live long? Thank you for the many lives you touched. Thank you for leaving your warmth and kindness wherever you went. You'll be forever remembered. Rest in peace, GoGether. Rest on Hardworker. Good bye Man of Impact. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of every one you've come in contact with. Fondly missed by THE ODOHS

Losing you feels unreal. You were not just my relative, you were truly my big brother. For a few years, I had the privilege of living under the same roof with you, and those years became some of the most memorable chapters of my life. You looked out for me, guided me, and gave me advice that came from a place of genuine care. You never hesitated to correct me when I was wrong or encourage me when I needed it. Those conversations, the laughter, the little everyday moments we shared; they all mean even more to me now. You had a way of making people feel protected and supported. To me, you were someone I could always count on; someone who wanted the best for everyone. Even after I got married and moved on to the next phase of my life, the memories of those years stayed with me. Your words, your guidance, and the lessons you shared are things I will continue to carry with me. Your absence leaves a space that cannot be filled, but your impact will never fade. I am grateful for the time I had with you, grateful for the brotherly love you showed me, and grateful for the memories that will always remind me of who you were. Rest well, my big brother. You will always be remembered, always appreciated, and always missed. ~Ukwo

I am saddened over the news of your demise. It is indeed a great loss and shocking to me because their was no news of your sickness, but the news of your death. You where a good man, a lover of all people, generous and a sacrificial man. This I can testify as a former parish priest to your wife in Kaduna and by extension you too. Your huge contribution towards the development of the church is not without noticed. Even though you are gone physically, your legacies still speaks for you. May God grant you eternal rest. Good bye, good Man. Rev. Fr Diga Raphael JDPC Coordinator, Catholic Archdioces of Kaduna.

Ali was a brother and a friend I will forever miss. Rest on my brother. Eleojo
