 Friends and family of the late Sami Upposo have converged on the love of God Church in Christ, Lekhi, for the outing service of the late Gospel singer. Sami's wife Oziomah and some of his friends, including Shegwarinze, Kingsley Ogoro and Agata Amata were present. Our correspondent, Paul George, was there. At the logic church, Lekhi, the celebration of the life of the late singer coincides with a thanksgiving service. Friends and family dance to praise administration by the choir. The presiding pastor, Flourish Peters, says Sami's songs will continue to minister to people until the next generation. He encourages Oziomah, the wife of the deceased, to be thankful and rejoice for her late husband has gone to be with the Lord. The only way an auntie Oziomah can gift auntie Oziomah, because we have not lost Uncle Sami in glory, we have gained him in glory. Why? Because that's the product of the finished work, product of the finished work. So they are not confused where he is, but anywhere he is, anywhere he is, we know where he is. He is absent in the Lord, he is present with the Lord, absent in the board writer, he is present with the Lord. I am indebted to make sure that in memory that his songs have been sung to the fourth or fifth generation. My relationship with Sami is well over 20, almost 30 years old. A lot of people might not realize that my program Inside Out with Agatha, the theme song was done by Sami. Inside out, welcome to Inside Out. He did that song in three hours. We were in the studio, I can still see him like he was yesterday and I was telling him what I wanted to do, a talk show and everything. As I was talking, he was just on the keyboard. And in three hours we had the theme song for Inside Out, which became like a household song. He was in a hurry when I looked back with the benefit of hindsight, what Sami has achieved, people a hundred years old, can't get nearer. Still difficult to process, but Sami lives on. His friend of about 40 years, Martin's Uwevo, minister of some of his popular songs, has a congregation is moved to dancing. Renaud actor, Shegoum Arinzey says his consolation is his belief that Sami lives on. He speaks alongside others. He came, achieved. There were a number of people who came and haven't achieved that. People who are older, who haven't gotten to that level, but we thank God for his life and we'll continue to celebrate him. Be strong and continue to pray and believe in that. Sami has done everything that he could to change what music is, both in the church and globally. He's a pioneer, he's a legend, he's an achiever, he's a barrier breaker. How many will I say? So we're not really mourning, but we miss him because we can never have another Sami. No, no, never. Sami has been my childhood friend from 1984 till when he went away. He went to go pee with the Lord. I was his manager, I was his errand boy, I was his peer, I was his cook, I was his watch, I washed his clothes, I washed his car. I was everything to Sami Okoso. He was my great friend and I extended it to my children and I know I'm going to see you again when we get over there. Prayers are offered as family and friends take to the pulpit.
