Mrs. Onofeghare Bose Bel Okaka (née Ikolo) was born on October 17, 1982, to the loving family of the late Chief Alfred Ikolo and Mrs. Stella Afinni.
From an early age, Bose was known for her bold spirit, kindness, generosity, and unwavering compassion for others. She possessed a remarkable heart for service, always placing the needs and well-being of her family, friends, and those around her above her own. Her selflessness touched countless lives and earned her the love, admiration, and respect of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Bel was a woman of strong values, humility, and grace. Her life reflected dedication, care, and genuine concern for others. Whether through her encouraging words, acts of kindness, or willingness to help those in need, she left an enduring mark on her family, friends, and community.
Her legacy continues to inspire all who knew her, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of love, sacrifice, generosity, and kindness.
Belworld was born out of Bel's passion for giving and empowering others. From a young age, she demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit through buying and selling goods. As her business experience grew, she became committed to helping aspiring entrepreneurs establish and grow their own businesses.
On many occasions, she provided goods without requiring immediate payment, simply to give others an opportunity to succeed. Her support was always driven by generosity, kindness, and a sincere desire to see others prosper. Bel consistently extended a helping hand wherever she could, never expecting anything in return. In addition, she had a deep passion for supporting orphanages, widows, and the elderly.
Above all, Bel was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ who loved worshiping God through song. She found great joy in cooking, shopping, and traveling, and treasured every moment spent with her family and loved ones.
Her warmth, faith, joyful spirit, and unconditional love will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
She is survived by her loving mother and stepfather; her devoted husband; her three beloved children, Ama Estee, Aaron Esheku, and Alexandra Okaka; her cherished sisters and brothers; her cousins, aunts, and uncles; and a multitude of friends whose lives she touched in profound ways.
May her beautiful soul rest in perfect peace.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Matthew 25:23
