You loved Jesus and served him very well🙏🏽🙏🏽 we know for sure you are with Jesus! Thank you Jesus for the gift that was Rinret!!🙏🏽🙏🏽 REST with JESUS You are greatly missed!❤️❤️💔

I didn't know aunty 'Real' (I call her) long enough like most of you did, I was in my lows, sometime in 2022 and it seemed like if I relapsed again it would be all my fault and I was afraid to reach out for help in places I had been to. So I called my friend Desho and said "Please I need a contact I don't know if you can give? Coach Riri, No pressure o...(she was reluctant for a bit, she probably knew I could get it elsewhere and all) so I added,... I can get from A, Y or Z, but It will defeat the aim of getting it. I want to talk to a neutral person, I've been having flashes lately and it's a lot." She sent the contact asap and I reached out to her. Aunty Real responded so fast it was unbelievable and gave the options of seeing her in the office or talking over the phone. Sending loads of love messages in the interim just to ensure I got on fine. We had closed sessions plus I became a part of irevive 'Pearls' and the rest is history. Aunty Real, in the last one week I've asked God all the 'whys'. Today, in my random thoughts I had my answers. His ways are not ours, He makes no errors. Because while you lived and even now, you stand complete and perfect in the beauty of God's plan. Your beauty was inside and out, we'll miss your physical presence and it's painful and hard. But your mark is indelible in our hearts. WE HAD YOU. Our lives have been touched and changed because of you. You are an example of an honest friend and confidant, you emptied yourself and gave all. How on earth did you carry everyone in your heart and made all feel loved and special? It was genuine. Thank you for that kind of love. We acknowledge the will and Lordship of Abba over your demise and I can only imagine you singing and dancing, praising, shining, brand new. Till we come home too, forever in our hearts💜❤️🤍

Your life was a blessing, your memory will remain in my heart. I am deeply saddened by your loss, but grateful for the time we had together. My beloved friend & sister, you may have left us far too soon, but your loving presence will endure forever in our hearts and souls. Thanks for all the times we met up to share our problems, cry and pray together. Thanks for all the birthday gifts you gifted me year in, year out. Thanks for taking my Mother like your own, for all the gifts you showered her with. Who will hype me and say - Baristos, Baristos. It really hurts my Sister. Thanks for the last message you sent to me, I always go back to that message, my dearest Mims, i value you too. Keep shining upon us.❤️❤️💐💐

Sis, (as I fondly call you) I am finding it so hard to say RIP to you.....like how nau! But in all, we give thanks to God. Sis, I am happy that you came, you saw and you conquered. I am happy that you lived well, I am happy that you loved well I am happy that you cared for ALL I am happy that you never allowed anything to limit you,,,,,You were always pushing yourself to be better. During the service of songs, the preacher said "let nobody say anything bad about Rinret" The first question that came to my mind was, "Is there even anything bad to say about Rinret" Absolutely, there is nothing bad at all to say about you because from the year 2016 that I met you, You have never display any negative energy....NEVER! Sis, you remember the event we had with PECULIAR WIVES CORNER women on the 11th of february last year, those women are still testifying about the HEALING that took place that day. I know heaven is rejoicing because a Joyous angel has just arrived. Sis, Thank You for EVERYTHING I love you and forever miss you. Rest in the Lord my namesake till we meet to part no more.

One thing I have been asking God for since the news of your demise is an opportunity to have one more chat with you, to tell you all the things that were left unsaid and to say goodbye. So if you can here me here it my dear sister. I am sorry Rinret, sorry for not making out enough time to see more and talk more, especially in the last few months. I got so busy and deceived by the lie that we have time. Thank you for showing me what is means to give, not just of your resources but of yourself. Thank you for showing me what it means to be a conduit of Gods love in the earth. Thank you for showing me what it means to be selfless, giving yourself in-spite of your own personal pain. Thank you for showing me what it means to live out one’s purpose with the passion and single mindedness it deserves. Thank you for showing me how to love without boarders. Thank you for showing me how to be a master at organizing and arranging. Thank you for pushing me to be more, my only pain now is that you won’t get to see me do the things you so much desired to see me do, at least not from this side of eternity. These and many more are the things you have taught me and for that I am eternally grateful to you. My only consolation in this pain is that you lived well and are now resting in the bosom of your Abba as you loved to call Him. The only thing I believe we can do for you now is to pray and be there for your husband whom you loved dearly and that we promise to do. In closing I would like to say if it is true that it is not how long but how well, you my sister lived well. Good night sis, till we meet to part no more.

Duniya 💔🥲who would have imagined? I was shocked when I had about ur passin. We would not mourn as dou who know not Christ we are comforted in the fact u died as a soldier of Christ.. you left a good legacy 🙌It’s not how long but how well. You did so well 👏Rest with the lord beloved Rinret until we meet again 🙏

Miriam, I never thought that this day would come so soon. We talked and shared plans for the new year. You sent me a letter on the 1st of Jan appreciating my partnership at Pekaat. Before we closed for the year you told me you were burnt out and would use the holidays to rest and have fun. The plan was that we all come back to work not that you take a permanent rest. We were ushers together in church in the early 2000s. Mr Innocent Usar and Aunty Talatu were cords that kept our connection to each other. You would often introduce me by saying we are from the same cloth. When we moved to Abuja, you asked that I become Pekaat's in-house Marriage coach. I didn't go to the office on my birthday because the client had cancelled the session. You kept my gift for two weeks. Until the day both of us were in the office. You told me, 'Ms Oblete, go to your office, I am coming.' You led all the office staff in singing Happy Birthday into my office. I remember the excitement in your eyes and voice when you told me that in 2024, we would do two batches on the iREVIVE project. You asked that I create space for the project - and not get overbooked, but you didn't 😭😭😭. You changed your address permanently without even a hint. Mimi, I wish you were here with us longer, but... Thank you Rinret for living well Your impact will continue to speak for decades. Rest now...

Dear Riri, Though i didn't have that bond with you, you tried to bring me closer but i am so into my own life challenges that i do not want one more commitment. I remember the first time i met you at push, you were so full of energy, life, smile and kind words, you listen and i thought "she is the nicest ". And that big hug you gave me the last time then you said "you ba, you ran away" as usual with a big smile is the memory of you that i will live with forever. Thank you for the book you gifted me, i know that now more than ever, i will feel the fear and still do it anyway. Thank you for being such a beautiful soul. I didn't imagine i will feel your leaving like this, the thought of it alone makes me shed tears. You will forever remain in my heart Riri. May God console your family and everyone one of us. Halima Abdullahi. Halima Abdullahi.

Oh Riri, it's hard to put into words the depth of shock and sorrow that enveloped me upon hearing the news of your departure. The memory of your beautiful smile lingers in my mind, a poignant reminder of the last time we shared a conversation face to face. You faced life's struggles with an unwavering strength that I deeply admired. Your resilience was a beacon of inspiration for us all. As we come to terms with your absence, I can't help but reflect on the impact you had on those around you. Your vivacity and zest for life were contagious, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know you. While your physical presence is no longer with us, I find solace in the belief that Allah, in His infinite wisdom, knew it was time and called you back. In this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers extend to your family. May Allah, the Most Merciful, bestow upon them the strength to bear the weight of this loss. Ameen.

… Big brother that never checks on his sister … when will we start spending your money etc you would ask… whenever we talked.. The joy, peace and fun that comes from communicating with you is matchless plus deep thoughts and values shared … so effortlessly.. You carry and transmit the love of Jesus so easily .. you live it in every breathe .. You did so much in so little time .. I take solace in the fact that your exit is a SEED. You went down the earth but you have just RAISED new Giants. See you on the other side. Rest on , Live on. RiRi

Meems💔💔💔 I don’t know how to say goodbye to you!!!! You will forever hold a special place in my heart🥺🥺 my soul sister and friend 💔 I will miss you dearly!!! I will cherish all the memories we shared!!!! Thank you for holding my hand through all the highs and lows !! Thank you for praying with and for me!!!! Kai! I don’t have the words! Rest in the bosom of the Lord my darling Riri!!!

I'm still lost in thoughts... I'm still finding it very difficult to comprehend this truth that I wish was a lie. May God please comfort all those she left behind, comfort her family and loved ones. Heart sobs...

Indeed,the good ones do not stay for long. Rinret was one of the best. her journey of using personal experiences to help others was inspiring. I weep today not because i do not accept fate. I weep because of the realization that i will never again hear, see and hug Rinret . I weep because i have lost a support system, a sister, friend, coach & therapist. A vacuum that can never be filled. Rinret loved me unabashedly and so did i. She’d always say “Fati I’ve got You” and she did to the very end. I am consoled by the fact that she made an indelible mark on the lives of everyone that she came across and for that her legacy will continue to live on in our respective lives. It is not goodbye but until we meet again. Love now and always, Fatou❣️❣️❣️

This is really difficult to accept. I saw you just last month, and we ate and drank and laughed together. But I take solace in the fact that you're in a more beautiful place. Keep resting with Jesus. Your legacies leave on.....

In loving memory of Rinret, a cherished soul who left an indelible mark on our hearts. Her warmth, laughter, and kindness illuminated our lives. May her spirit find eternal peace, and may we carry her memory with love and gratitude.

U lit up every room u entered with the biggest, most beautiful and genuine smiles! You are by far one of the most beautiful souls I’ve met, Oh Riri, u thought me sooo much that I thank God everyday for bringing u into my life! You thought me to see life differently, u scold me whenever I’m wrong and still bring me closer to remind me how much u love and look out for me, U loved God , and the way u loved people around u needed to be studied! I love u so much and I miss u already! It’s never gon be the same ever again without u! Heaven just gained one of the best souls from earth! Adieu my lover, Till we meet again❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

The Healer, you led me to Jesus Christ via Therapy. You told me God had a need for my soul. I wanted to reclaim my life and sanity and therapy helped greatly. It is an honor to know God and serve in his vineyard under Your tutelage. Thank you for the hugs, kind words, encouragement, 6months of transformation. I love you and carry your legacy in my heart forever. Rest easy my Queen, rest in God’s bosom❤️❤️❤️

Dear Rinret, you impacted our lives... All I can say... Is sleep well. We shall meet again...

Rinret we connected virtually and you were an amazing, fun trainer. I was so looking forward to meeting you in person in level 2 of our Trauma Informed Care(TIC) program this January. We kept communicating online with the many questions I had on the TIC project and you were so accommodating, so encouraging; so giving; so kind❤️. I am devastated but alas such is life. You lived well and will surely be remembered. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace dear Riri💔

I cannot believe this! All the plans we spoke of barely 2 weeks ago, OMG! May God teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. Rinret Gofwan the healer , you will be greatly missed. Sleep well darling. You have fought your fight. Now awaits your crown of righteousness.

No words honestly. Sai myn zo kam. Wow

I simply cannot fathom what's going on now but Lord we look unto you for comfort and solace. Riri, there was so much you wanted to do for humanity. There's so much we could have done together. Whether you're here or not, this one thing I know, your legacy will last forever. We will miss your smiles and your hugs but your impact will last in hearts for the rest of lives.

Dear Riri.... I remember the last time we met and we yabbed each other for not keeping in touch as we ought to. Then, we realised we were both fighting our personal battles and had just come out of them. Then we laughed a lot afterwards. And now you're gone. But who are we to question God? 😭 😭 😭 I also remember that day in Ramadhan when you called me to speak to some Muslim widows and together with your friend, you touched their lives beautifully. Your smile was as big as your heart. You gave without expecting anything in return. You lived well. May God comfort your family especially your husband, Nuhu. I love you, Sis. And I'll miss you too much. I have been crying Riri 😭 💔 Rest, Riri. Rest.

Riri is fire. I simply cannot get over this. Sis nawa, you lived well. Rinret will listen, she will pray for you, she will follow up till it is done. I bless God for meeting you, you will be painfully missed my sister. You will live forever!!

'Kai dan Duniya ne fa!' you joked when you found out I was a northerner & could speak Hausa & we had all the while been blowing English. I will always remember your bright light. Sai mun zo!

Dear Riri, I never imagined I'd be writing this, mumcy's house is almost done, you were suppose to come for house warming, your perfume from my trip is with me, who do I give it to now? Our souvenir from Ramatu's daughter's wedding is to be sent, how do you get yours now? Too many questions yet no answer ... I kept tossing and turning abd checking my phone hoping to get an update but of course you are with your father now, Abba's favorite girl... You lived, you impacted lives, you loved and now you watch over us from above, rest on our guardian angel. I will miss your big smile and big heart and i am forever grateful our paths crossed on my journey of life. Chenemi loves you deeply❤️

Full of life. Full of energy. Touching lives all around. That is how I remember you. That is how I choose to remember you. Rest in peace beloved. We will miss you. We will miss your impact.
