We honour the life and legacy of a remarkable Itsekiri man from Warri, Delta State, Nigeria – PA Mogborukor George Sunday, also known as Onyekwenime. At 75, he has completed his earthly journey, leaving memories that will forever be cherished.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sylvester O. George, his beloved son living in South Africa, and all George family members. Though miles may separate you from your ancestral home in Warri, know that your father’s indomitable Itsekiri spirit bridges this distance, continuing to guide and protect you.
PA Sunday’s life journey, spanning from 1949 to 2024, was one of rich cultural heritage and profound impact. As an Itsekiri elder, he undoubtedly carried with him the wisdom of his people, passing down traditions and values that have shaped his immediate family and his community in Ugbokodo Okpe and beyond.
To those gathering at his residence in Ben-Bright close, after Ugbokodo Okpe Secondary School, your presence will honour a life well-lived. As you join in the Service of Songs on December 19th and the Funeral Service on December 20th, may your voices rise in celebration of PA Sunday’s life, echoing the rich musical traditions of the Itsekiri people.
For Sylvester and other family members who may be far from home, know that your father’s spirit unites the family across continents. The outing and thanksgiving at RCCG, House of Prayer Model Parish on December 22nd will be a time to rejoice in the lasting legacy of PA Sunday’s life and the enduring strength of the Itsekiri culture he instilled in his children.
May the soul of PA Mogborukor George Sunday find eternal peace among his ancestors. May his family find comfort in the love he shared and the wisdom he imparted. Though he has departed this earthly realm, his teachings and his spirit will continue to guide and inspire, reaching from the creeks of Warri to the shores of South Africa and beyond.
Rest in peace, dear PA Sunday. Your life was a testament to the strength and dignity of the Itsekiri people. You are loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure. May your journey to the great beyond be peaceful, and may your legacy continue to flourish through the lives you’ve touched.
