Nigerian stand-up comedian, AY Makun has said that he would never understand why God would “give a blessing and allow the devil to take it quickly.”

AY made the statement in reaction to the death of singer Davido’s son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.

Mourning the 3-year-old via Instagram on Tuesday, the comedian wrote that no parent wants to outlive their children.

AY wrote “Dear Lord, we will never understand why you would give us a blessing and allow the devil to take it so quickly. No parents want to outlive their children, and it’s really not fair on the few good people who do a lot to help others keep their own children alive, by giving them hope for a better tomorrow.

He added that people can never trust caregivers with their children when they remember the painful circumstances surrounding that innocent child’s death.

“This loss affects so many people. How do we even encourage them to move on? How can we ever trust caregivers with our children when we remember the painful circumstances surrounding that innocent child’s death? We all want to ask for forgiveness and continue to glorify you, even in our pain.

“You sincerely need to show Yourself to the parents and protect them from bitterness. Give them a new purpose for living and a way to honour their child’s life. Give them the courage to trust you, to hope again, and to love again. Protect them from living in fear and paranoia.

“Judging by the things you have blessed us with, we know you are good, and you do good. Protect us from evil people as we give you this tragedy to redeem in Jesus’ name. Amen!,” he wrote.
