In one of the last posts he shared, he wrote saying,

“I was rushed again to hospital this morning My Doctor insisted I need a lot of rest.

I feel useless, now, I understand better that Health is Wealth Remember me in your prayers. Thank you.”

Prior to his death, he wrote saying he didn’t care if he died tomorrow provided he paints his name green first.
