    I am saddened by this news.i ran into him last year in Utako when we were both looking for a functional ATM to use. I was happy seeing him and I told how much of a fan of his I am. I also asked him what he was doing now and he told me he does gospel music. I was very happy for him because very few of them remain in gospel, most would rather do secular music because it gives fast money. Lord accept the soul of your own. He remained steadfast during his time on earth. Eric, rest in peace. Though we are sad, heaven gained an angel.

    Ooooooo my God,he is too young and too talented to be wasted. Let his family call apostle johnson suleman to pray for him,is not too late ,God can still do something,remember he raised the dead.The world is wicked,if you are not on fire (prayers) you will die cheaply like a fool.There is still hope if only the family can shake the gates of heaven,he can't die just like that.Talking from personal experience.

    O my God. I can't believe this when I saw this information. Chai Eric. Such a loveable young and talented man. It a pity it went this way. I pray you make it at the throne of the trinity. And we remaining on earth would make heaven. IJN. I want to use this medium to talk to everyone about God, we don't know when our own time would come. If they told Eric that he will dead in 2016 he will rebuke it but see what has happened. I will employ all of us to know God for our self and we go back on our life an reflect on our life generally. Love God and do his well. And you will neva regret it. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

    RIP Éric, i don't know you but testimonies following your death is a prove you have gone to meet the Father. Goodnight.
    There are so many questionable events happening recently, don't take them for granted. Ensure you are saved in Christ. There is only one way to make rapture. Please don't be left out, get it right while still alive. Jesus is coming soon. You might be alive and you might not but the most important is that you have received Him as your Lord and Saviour. There is no repentance in hell. Please don't miss heaven, don't trade man-made materials or hustle for heaven.
    "Lord Jesus, I confess you today as my Lord and Saviour and renounce every sin. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. Come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour in Jesus name. Amen."
    Congratulations and please look for a true Christian church and grow.
    Jesus love you, go and conquer.

    Freeborn to think that your father truly ejaculated and formed you and was ignorant enough to gather people together to do a naming ceremony for you thinking he had a child means there some form of Generational Stupidity in your lineage. First of all you were not supposed to be born, he would have used a rubber or spilled you away already. And then, having done the mistake he still had the guts to gather people together to celebrate a BIG FOOL ??? And then your mother did not even think of some pills??? Well she never knew your folly would become over riped
