A touching Facebook post about the late renowned evangelist Dr. Uma Ukpai has resurfaced online, sparking emotional reactions from Nigerians and the Christian community.
The viral post, originally shared on November 24, 2024, by Charles Awuze, listed Uma Ukpai among respected gospel generals such as Bishop T.D. Jakes and Papa Ayo Oritsejafor. In the heartfelt message, Awuze expressed a deep spiritual burden for the men of God, urging their followers to appreciate them while they are still alive.
He wrote:
“Pray for T.D. Jakes. Pray for Dr. Uma Ukpai. Pray for Papa Ayo Oritsejafor.
I feel a deep burden for these generals. They have served. If you are around them, give them gifts and let them know how much they have impacted you. I hope this post won’t be misunderstood.”
This old message has now taken on a deeper meaning following the announcement of Dr. Uma Ukpai’s death on October 13, 2025, via his official Facebook page.
