A pastor, Egheomhanre Eyieyien reportedly died on December 25 hours after a mystic Facebook post. In the commemorative message posted at 8.05am same day, Egheomhanre wrote, "I hear in my spirit the words; an unusual Christmas Day; an uncommon day; completion; conclusiveness; unmistakable proofs, ear-tingling testimonies… to the person who can believe God. Merry Christmas!"


Five hours later Egheomhanre’s only brother, Iyere, announced the passing of his brother on the social networking site.

Iyere, in a post on his page, said, "My only brother, Pastor Egheomhanre Emmanuel Eyieyien (29th April 1967 – 25th December 2015), went to be with the Lord this morning after a brief illness.

"My heart is heavy. What can I say but thank God for a life well spent? He fought a good fight. The crown he worked for all these years is now resting majestically on his head. Jehovah be praised!"

Iyere wrote under his brother’s post, "You heard right my beloved brother. I have known you all my life. It is an honour and privilege to have been your younger brother. I will miss you. I am already missing you."

He is survived by a wife of 13 years and son.
