According to a post she made available on her Facebook page, the Nigerian lady, Rejoice Iwueze, mourned the death of the notable pastor.
She highlighted three things that happened after she heard the news, the first being that the tragic incident broke something within her.
She wrote:
"Hearing the news of the passing of Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai broke something within me."
Moving on, she added that she made a call, which led to a conversation with her father in the Lord, from which she drew important lessons.
"The first person I called was my daddy Stephen Iwueze. As we spoke long and deeply, he said something that has stayed with me: ‘When we die, we are either remembered for the problems we solved or the problems we caused.’"
She mentioned the second point she took from the conversation:
"Empty we came, and empty we shall go. The greatest tragedy is to gain the things of this world at the expense of your soul."
She continued, saying that her father’s words pierced her heart:
"Live your life boldly for God, unashamed because that’s the very essence of our Christian journey."

"Thank you for shining the light so brightly for many to follow. Thank you for showing us Jesus not just in words, but in the way you lived."
"Heaven has truly gained. Sleep on sir."
