[@nancyakandi1959]

My lovely nephew, you have done us all proud. So proud of the young man you have become. Dad must be smiling seeing you encourage our forces to carry on boldly. Our love from the UK. xxx

[@stevemochiemo.9577]

Strong man

[@Blueboy-d8m]

Lovely and admirable God-fearing family for sure.

[@geraldwalterfang3426]

We are not blood relatives but I can say this without fear and lots of spiritual favour : this man was a General of God ....GOG. His spirit was pure .......and that's why I had to go and salute 🫡 him on behalf of my entire family extended and immediate .

[@GingerBreadMan76]

Nancy Akandi my condolences. Im trying to reach the son and lorna . Please tell me how I can get a hold of them. Im in the states..are you here too?

This man has done a job of comforting kenyans in a way no other person would have done ... God bless you na poleni sana

[@muziki79]

This young man is full of wisdom and God's grace...this young man needs to be in public service because of his strong faith and mentorship from General Ogolla...we need such young men full of God's favor in public service especially in Central Kenya...kanyangia hapo bro you have a bright future ahead and again poleni sana kaka

[@rosewachira617]

He is a blessed son full of God’s spirit

[@geraldwalterfang3426]

Pray God uses him wherever he desires not only public office but as God called his father

[@kephakepha2078]

ehh....a total curse...!!....a son using his own mouth against his own father....unless...one is not a "real " son...

[@margaretmuthiani6300]

Taking your kids to school is important but also educating them is more important. The late general took time to that. What an excellent example of that! Respect

[@joehkimatia7843]

Not only schools, it's raising your kids well

[@geraldwalterfang3426]

A man who takes time to mentor his children and befriend his wife is known as a general , God's general

[@robbiewendy2129]

💯💯💯

[@user-un5ts6tk2d]

May I add, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. The General was a God fearing man. To quote the later Paster Charles Stanley of Intouch Ministries, "obey God and leave the consequences to Him". Also, the Bible says, Matt>:6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and all these other things shall follow you". Also, King David said in the Book of Psalms 37:23. " The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. Vs24. I was your and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children beg for bread. Vs25 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing." If anyone wants blessings then seek Him and seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him.

I can see the characters of kibaki which was with Ogolla and now the son has taken the mantle. I just love the part of emptying your hands in order to gain more What a speech....❤

[@adammaina5612]

This young man's fortitude is ethereal. It is clear he had a very close relationship with his Dad which impacted him profoundly. To come to terms so quickly and have clarity of mind like he exhibits is almost beyond human. It is very possible that he has subconsciously postponed his mourning since he must be strong for his Mom and siblings. I pray for continued special grace upon him and family to bear this loss.

[@misscarol3771]
