MUST READ: Toni Payne Pens Touching Tribute To Zara Gretti

The young Nigerian singer, Margaret-Mary Oluwatoyin Ejiroghene Joseph, better known as Zara Gretti, who succumbed to the cold hands of death about two weeks ago, was buried last Friday at the Ikoyi Cemetery but many who knew her have not been able to come to terms with her sudden demise.

Broken hearted, they have been sending her touching tributes and the latest to go that route is former wife of ‘Gonga So’ crooner, 9ice, Toni Payne, who wrote a soulful poem for the pretty damsel who lost the battle to Multiple Sceloris.

Toni Payne titled the poem ‘Heaven just gained a beautiful angel.’

Read the poem here:

As I look through the years, the life that you lived

I know you are smiling because through your music you live

No sickness could take that from you

No disability would dare

As we do our best to remember you as you were

The memories you gave, the love you shared

No more tears, that’s not what you would want

I take solace in knowing you are home

I cry no more because I accept

Heaven couldn’t wait for this beautiful angel

We celebrate your life, a vibrant one it was

A singer, a dancer, a free spirit,

Full of life, yes you were

I choose to remember you as you were

I know you would have wanted nothing less

And take solace in knowing and accepting

Heaven just gained a beautiful Angel

Vivacious, playful, cheerful and free

Those are some of the words that come to me

When I think of you and the times we shared

We would be here all day if we tried to compare

Words to a soul as unique as yours

How can I fully describe you with mere words?

The pain is over, uncertainty no more

Dancing in heaven, as free as can be

We that are left should take solace in knowing

Heaven just gained a beautiful Angel.

So touching…… Zara Garetti still lives in our hearths.

Jose Mourinho has hit back at Yaya Toure’s accusation that the Chelsea boss showed a lack of respect to other English teams by talking openly about their chances in the Champions League in the last week. Toure, who was part of the Manchester City side that lost in Barcelona the day after Arsenal’s Champions League exit to Bayern Munich, was unhappy with Mourinho’s comments, but speaking ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Aston Villa, he insisted his words were only made out of support Hello José “If to say before the Munich and Camp Nou matches that these matches are not over, that Arsenal and City have enough quality to go there and turn things around, if to support the teams from the country where I work, if this is a lack of respect, okay that’s a lack of respect,” said Mourinho. “But I think that Arsenal and Manchester City showed that I was right, that they had enough quality to do it. They played very good matches, so I don’t think this is a lack of respect, this is support. ...
