Jonathan, my dear friend... The world lost a gem but heaven gained an angel...your beautiful memories will live on in your beautiful kids and lovely wife. You were one of a kind....you will be forever missed. 

B,
It's been three months now. i still miss you terribly. THERE CANT BE ANY LIKE YOU!

I still find it hard to believe that u are no more. I believe u are resting in the Lord. Sometimes I look at your picture and say to myself is this how we wlii all go someday. I remember how u treat my son even calling u alone u give us prescription and the hope u give us. Death is an debt we all have to pay. We are missing u. Sleep on in the Lord Dr. J

2005... my son was deathly ill, I had brought him from Kano to National Hospital Abuja, the Drs were not sure what exactly was wrong, the baby was not thriving, dehydrated despite all feeds and infusions. Numerous tests gave conflicting results. Having lost a child to the same condition earlier we were advised to take him abroad as soon as possible. While waiting I decided to take him to NISA premier hospital for his immunizations. We were there for the second time when he was weighed and he had lost weight - again. I started crying, no wailing. Dr Jonathan heard a woman crying in the nurse's station and came to ask what the matter was. I told him how my first son had died from this condition and now this one too was ill. I told him the suspected diagnosis , he looked in my baby's eyes and said 'There is no death here, I see life in this boy; Madam can you pray?' I said yes and thats how the battle began. On discovering I was also a Dr he said 'lets manage this boy prayerfully together, he will live.' We started attending NISA premier. He prayed with him/us each time he was ill, asking God's direction as we tried to balance his serum electrolytes. He treated him as best he could. I can never forget the way he shouted 'HALLELUYAH... thank You Lord, Yes Lord!! the day the boy gained about 1kg, other nurses came in to see why Dr Jonathan was shouting. 
There were lots of setbacks and I would cry and cry but Dr Jonathan was always full of faith, always positive and would remind me how much progress the baby had made. He was so personable and spoke the Word of life over my son. He encouraged me to pray and pray and keep praying. God answered. Dr Jonathan was the link to the miracle of healing for my son who is well and strong today. Sir, its so so painfull that you were taken from your Darling wife and children and from us all, but we know you are present with the Lord. It is well.Sun re o.

Dr. J, I only met you the week before the cold hands of death snatched you away from us, but I will never forget all those meetings we had in the one week.
Particularly vivid in my mind was the lunch at the EID partners forum where it felt like we had known each other forever. What struck the most was the warmth your exuded and the openness about you. You presented yourself as a brother and a friend.
I am extremely sad we lost you the way we did, but I know you are in a better place.
I pray that God gives your family the strength that they need to move on without you even as your memories linger forever.
I will miss you and never forget you.
Sleep well brother! 

Dr. Jo! As many of us called you..... happy guy, intelligent man, lover of GOD, lover of his family. 

You would tease me about my big cheeks - my 'cheekus maximus' as you called them. You would say people with big cheeks are beautiful :) 

You would give me a scolding every time you heard my son was ill. You would ask why I did not call you to come and treat him.

 You encouraged those around you to be serious with GOD. I remember you practically dragging me to Keffi to attend a Holy Ghost service. Even though your car was filled to the brim already you made sure to take me along.

 I remember sharing in your breakfast; you were happy to share it. You proudly told me it was your wife that made it. You adored her! Even after 3 kids she remained your queen. I know if you had the power to save your life you would do it for her sake.

 I remember the staff meetings- all your intelligent contributions. I remember the office Christmas parties……you were so fun loving, easy going and happy.

 I wish God would let you take a sneak peek at what’s happening here…..so many people care about you. Today in my office two of my colleagues were ‘fighting’ over which of them loved you the most…..I couldn’t help but smile. It spoke volumes about you.

 You have left us a huge vacuum. May God comfort your wife, children, siblings and parents. I know you’re resting with your Maker and King already. Sunre o!

Dr J was my husband's colleague and my children's doctor. he was a very friendly and humble man.Always ready to attend to me whenever call. He was at a point very close to ou. your death came too soon and suden. Am going to miss you greatly .  i pray that God grant you eternal rest and my He give your family the fortitude to bear d loss Amen
