Delivering a sermon at the ceremony, the Senior Pastor of VLBC, Apostle Lawrence Achudeme, described the late Madam Bakare as a caring and strong disciplinarian.

He said all mortals must die irrespective of status, creed and age, saying “no matter how long you live, you will surely taste the bitter pills of death when it come calling.
“What we people say after your death because in life you will always be remembered for either good or bad.
“We must learn to do good all the time. Mama was a mother indeed. She was meticulous in everything she does.
“Death feared her when men are afraid of death. She conquered death and that is why we are celebrating her life.”
While appreciating the gathering, Bakare said he would miss his mother dearly because of the role she played in his life.
