"Obi told me a couple of times that his marriage was cr¥mbling and it was e@ting him up. He was a family man, somebody that loved to stay with his kids and build a happy home. But when his marriage cr¥mbled, it really affected him and he never recovered from the shock till d£ath. When a man is not together with his family, he will be depressed. No man wants to go into that kind of situation and be happy. So, that contributed to his death.”

Two weeks before Saint Obi's death, he spoke with his late friend revealing that he had been sick.

“Two weeks before his demise, my phone rang and it was Saint Obi on the other end. I asked him where he had been; that everybody had been looking for him. That was when he told me that he had been down and was admitted to a hospital. He added that he had done multiple surgeries and his condition wasn’t improving. That was the last time we spoke, as I promised to reach out to him again. But I never did, as the next thing I heard was that Obi is no more."

lunadbitboy:

"It is quite baffling that none of you thought to mention his situation while he was still alive, yet you are all bringing up all these unnecessary messages now that he is no longer with us. It is important to remember that the dead deserve to rest in peace, and it is not fair to bring up past issues that cannot be resolved."
