Good morning kid bro KINGSLEY
Tell mom I we do my best to come back alive in the cost of protecting the country.But if incase I don’t make it back, please help me take good care of her.
Don’t cry if you hear that am gone
Wipe up my gallery,give my phone to our kid brother GOODLUCK (BABA) tell him to study perfectly and nobody should wear any black to my funeral.
Make sure our only sister Emmanuella (sanasi) did not drop out of school. Try by your all means to make sure daddy did not think too much.
Tell my girlfriend not to cry much but tell her to move with our memories.
If I offended you,find a place in your heart and forgive me,and if you offended me,just know that my heart is empty.

Emmanuel Ezra”
