The 73-year-year-old, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, said he made the necessary preparations for his death three years ago when he marked his 70th birthday anniversary.

"I have written my will and will continuously update it to keep up with time. I have built my grave. It is a 9 by 9 feet deep grave. I have also built a mausoleum around it," Usoro said.
"My friend went with me to the coffin site to see the one that I liked. He decided to buy for me. As someobody who is a chief, there are things you have to do before you die or they do after you die" he added.
Chief Usoro further disclosed that he has paid the necessary rites to his co-chiefs by giving "cow" so that his children will know what to worry about after his death.
