Some Nigerians have taken to the comment section of the video and expressed their views about the former governor's statement. Below are some of their comments:

Dr Varies commented:

"Same thing my Dad did before his death. He told us he would like to sleep at the back of his room, just behind the window. 4 years later, we lost him, and we granted his wishes. It sounded scary to me at that time, but I later realised that it is wise to prepare for the afterlife."

Mazi Uche Okeudo wrote:

"When someone makes their wishes clear, even about their death, it shows they want peace and order. Honouring their words is the best way to respect their life and let them rest in peace."

Piondy recalled:

"My grandma had given instructions that year, too. Trust me, they won't even allow you to do otherwise."

Big Chu expressed worries:

"Why does this sound so scary tho? Like something out of a horror movie."

Pax et Divitiae prayed for the former governor:

"May he find peace with his maker. Every man will eventually come to the end of their journey."
