Unknown to most, as Pope John Paul II was dying, he sent a message to Babangida and Alamieyeseigha (one a Christian and one a Muslim) to come to his home in the Vatican. They were very surprised at this unexpected invitation, but they quickly packed their bags and set off for the Vatican via Rome. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the clergyman held out his hands and motioned to them to sit on each side of the bed. When they did the Pontiff grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.

For some time, no one said anything. Both Babanigida and Alamieyeseigha were touched and flattered that the old Pope would ask them to be with him during his final moment. Babangida being a Muslim was even more flattered that the Holy Father would invite someone of another faith to be with him at such critical hour. They were also puzzled because the Pope had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them. Finally, Babangida, tired of the silence, asked, "Fada, for what did you husk de two of huss to come here?" The old Pope mustered up some strength, raised his head slightly to get a good look at the two Nigerians and then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go."
