Sholaye Jeremi Loses Mother

Death comes to all; this is not a very scary fact. What scares the heart is that it comes without knocking, without making a sound. And when it comes, it leaves behind deep scars, as it has done with the Jeremi family.

Amidst heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Jeremi family of Delta State mourns the passing of their beloved matriarch, Mrs. Lilian Jeremi, at the age of 74. The deceased who is the mother of esteemed businessman, Sholaye Jeremi, departed this world after a brief illness.

In a statement issued by the Jeremi family, they expressed deep gratitude for the life Mrs. Jeremi lived, characterised by hard work, courage, and devotion to family, community, and God. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and extended family, but her memory will forever be cherished.

Mrs. Jeremi’s life was a testament to the values of humility, kindness, and generosity. She instilled these virtues in her son, Sholaye, who, despite his remarkable success as an oil magnate and businessman, remains grounded and compassionate. Sholaye’s annual tradition of celebrating his birthday by sharing joy and sustenance with the less fortunate exemplifies the profound impact of his upbringing and the enduring influence of his mother’s teachings.

As Sholaye grieves the loss of his beloved mother, his profound humanity and unwavering compassion remain a lamp of hope and inspiration to all. In this time of mourning, Nigeria will remember his mother’s legacy of love and service, and pray that her soul finds eternal peace in the arms of the Almighty, as she taught her son to do for others.
