TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR FATHER (Sir)
It was shocking and terrible thing when I heard that you are no more. I remembered your words of advice to me and my family, how you helped us to bring up my children, morally and otherwise. Your jokes and loving kindness, sir your death is an irreparable loss to us which no one can replace.
Sir, it is so painful that we are missing you this time but God Almighty knows why he allowed it to happen.
Papa, sir, as we generally called you, Bye Bye, till we meet again.
Mrs. Irene Ufomba (1st Daughter)

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED FATHER

I don’t know where to begin, all I keep thinking, this brings tears to my eyes, you were my rock, you were everything to me, you did things for me, you did things for all of us. You left us but it was too soon for me sir, in fact I lose your advice. Nobody will fill up this space only God, sir your dearth was a great shock to me, even till now I have not recovered. It was a great loss to us the entire family, but believes with God there is still hope for us. You are the best father and the greatest example. I love you sir and I will see you again.

Sleep well, sir,
 your son,
Obioma Anthony Nweke.


TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED FATHER AND GRAND PA
Sir, we sincerely appreciate what you have done for us on this earth, you built home for us, you built our family, you gave us hope and care, your footsteps we shall always follow, sir, we know and we are sure you are sleeping in the bosom of the Lord, Amarachi and Chukwuemeka are saying Papa farewell, we shall see you in Glory on the Glorious day. AMEN.
Family of Nweke Ndubuisi Onyebuchi

TRIBUTE TO MY RARE GEM FATHER
I found it hard to believe that you are no more; my eyes and heart are heavy because of your exit. The vacuum created by your death is what cannot be replaced. You were a lover of God and humanity, a wise and humbly man. You fought and have finished the race……the crown is now yours.
Adieu sir,
Adieu Nna oma
Adieu Nna  hurum n’anya
Dinaa  nke oma, ka chineke nara mgburuobi gi.
Mrs. Ijeoma Innocent

TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED FATHER
(Mrs Ihuoma Azubuike)
You slept off, no farewell words spoken, no time to say good Bye, you had gone before I knew it, only God knows why. I was visibly shaken by the loss of a valuable Father like you; you were indeed a Father in a Million. You were a role model loved by all.
Words are not adequate to describe the enviable roles you played in our upbringing from the cradle until you left us. You taught us humility; we are however consoled by your good works and the fact we have an opportunity to meet again on the resurrection morning.
May the Almighty God grant your soul eternal rest.  Amen.

Mrs. Ihuoma Azubuike
(3rd daughter)


TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED FATHER.
Sir it seems to me like a dream that are yet to come to reality that you have died. I thought that your sickness will come and pass but death says no. Nnam I see you as a father who has idea, wisdom and passion to people. You tried for us after the death of our mother, you were like a mother and father to us, but death did not allow you to benefit from your children….. God knows why?
Daddy, papam, Omere nke nne mee nke nna, Ome Udo, rest in peace.
Miss Chinyere Anthony
(Daughter)


TRIBUTE TO OUR DADDY (SIR)
It is so painful that you had to exist so sudden but what can I say or do. It is still like a dream and incredible that you are no more on this earth, you are no more to stand by me, you were a wonderful father indeed, too good to be missed.
I always enjoyed your discussion and advice. Oh! Death why did you take my best father, friend, mentor and companion away from me? We your children will not forget your principles or the legacy you live on earth. We love you but God love you most. Rest in peace.
Papa, sir mu, onyeobioma, Nnaomaanyi, Nna udo,
Nna huru umu ya naaya, laa nke oma
Till the resurrection day.

Mrs. Uloma Adeyinka
(5th daughter)

TRIBUTE TO MY AMIABLE FATHER,
Sir.

Papa, you were a caring father, a man of courage, a teacher, an excellence, an achiever, and a genius of our time I wonder why death struck you so early when you have not reaped the fruit of your labour.
 Papa, I remember   your thought for us, the legacies you left for us, your loving kindness to people around you, your humility, and your popularity.    You were such a good man not only to your family but also to anyone who identified with you.
You told us stories, of things that happened when were not born, you counselled wisely, all the time you stood by the truth, “IZU BU NKA”.
Sir, as you are fondly called by all, indeed you are a great Man, a peace maker, a helper, an adviser, a humble man, a God fearing man, a Man of Faith, Father of all, we miss you.
Death does not know anything for killing you.  It is true that this is the time I need you most, but my joy is that you are resting at the right hand of the Almighty.
We miss you but we know that God loves you most.
Sir, Big Daddy, Loving father, Nna Oha, Sleep well!  Sleep well!! Sleep well!!!

Miss Stella Chisom Anthony
Daughter.


TRIBUTE TO LATE GREAT SERVANT CHIEF ANTHONY SIR NWEKE
(IZU BU NKA 1 OF ETEGHA NA AGBOHO)
Today…….we are rejoicing for life well spent of our in-law, father, uncle and grandfather. On the 5th day of April, the will of God came to fulfillment in the life of this great man of God. It is not how long you spent on earth rather how well you did. I was happy when I heard the demise of my great in-law who is lying lifelessly. God knows why he needed him now that we needed him most.
The vacuum he created will be too difficult to be replaced. No matter what people says, my happiness is that every living soul must surely reap whatever he or she sow.
My icon, philanthropist, my mentor, man of the people, Ohuru obia agbankwa, Chief Izu bu nka 1, Gaa Ije gi nke oma…….Onyenweanyi mara ije gi.
Good bye
Elder Onyebuchi Ufomba
(First in-law).

TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER IN-LAW
Where do I start? Where do I stop? You were important and well meaning to me and my family at large. You perfectly understood others and shared their problems, Joy and Sorrow with them. Death why now? Sir, why now? I promise to keep to all your parental advice and father in-law advice to me.
Relax in God’s bosom, while we pray for the repose of your souls. Good night.
Adieu sir, rest in perfect peace. Amen

Azubuike   Polycarp  Ajuonu
Son in - law.                   


TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER INLAW

What shall I say about my father in-law who did everything humanly possible to make sure I become comfortable mother in my matrimonial home.
He was always there for me especially in times of difficulties. He always pray for me and bless me, no matter how little my effort is. Sir, you are a wonderful father in-law, adviser, guardian, lover of poor, my children’s admirer, my hope, my pride.
Relax in God’s bosom while we pray for the repose of your soul, till we meet to part no more.

Mrs. Nwankego Obioma Anthony
Daughter inlaw.

TRIBUTE TO MY UNCLE
O death, how wicked you are. Since the death of my parent, I had no other father but my uncle, sir I wish you are alive to keep calling me on phone the way you used to call, even my wife, will greatly miss you. You always call to know how we are doing all the time. May Almighty God accept your soul, farewell Sir.  May your soul rest in peace. 

Austin & family.

TRIBUTE TO ‘SIR’: DAD’S BROTHER, FRIEND AND CONFIDANT

We all miss you dearly.

Thank you so very much for all the good times whenever we visited, especially the ‘yam and vegetable delicacy’ that you personally prepared on many occasions. We always felt very welcomed.

We will always remember your gentleness and serene approach to life.

We have no doubt that we shall see you again on the Last Day.

Rest in peace, Sir!

From: Martin Dioka Nwaogu’s Family.

                A TRIBUTE TO MY GRAND DADDY

If not that I was around and witnessed the death of Sir, my grand Daddy, I wouldn’t have believed that he is no more, because we never expected this now. But I can’t question God; He is a Great God and knows all things.
I can remember any day, anytime I went to my maternal home, he will give me a very big yam to carry home, but unfortunately death met him, only one day, my brethren,  who will give me yam again, who will ask me about my education, who will encourage me in every situation.
But in everything, it is well because in the book of Ecclesiastes, there is time for everything, and a time for every purpose under the heaven, a time to born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to reap, therefore he has gone to see his creator, to give account.
Sir may your gentle soul rest in peace, Amen.
PAPA, GAA NKE OMA.

KASARACHI NKASIOBI.


TRIBUTE TO MY GRAND PA

Sir, you were symbol of love and icon of quality, an epitome of generosity and embodiment of honesty. How we say that death is wicked, without understanding the scripture, without understanding the time we are into today “Nna Anyi” has gone, to give an account of what he has done on earth. No wonder the bible says that everything on earth has it own time. A time to be born; and a time to die.
Sir, as was generally called was a cheerful giver of his things, a hardworking man. He so much encourages his people and anyone around him, in things that will help all in life.
Sir, was so much concern about education, during the time I was staying with him, he will make sure your materials for school are in order. He will wake me up as early as 4:30am to go and prepare for school so that I will not be late to school. He will also encourage and help  me to do my assignments, read my books, what a wonderful, superb and terrific grandfather I have, but now, death has taking him away from me.
Nobody has right to question God,
Sir, peace maker, goodnight, rest in peace.

Christian Onyebuchi  (CHINWE)



TRIBUTE TO MY GRAND FATHER

Chai!  sir is it how you left me, so what you mean I will not see you again. But only God knows everything before you die. Sir this kind of thing pains me. Sir I love you so much in my life because you are the man of no problems, the humble man, courage man, and a good adviser.
Good night until we meet to part no more.

Iheanyichukwu Eberechi Onyebuchi


TRIBUTE TO OUR BELOVED GRAND FATHER.

Sir you were a wonderful grandfather indeed. Too good to be missed, we always give thanks to God for giving us such a nice grandfather.  Your departure has created a very big vacuum in our life……we would have needed your presence a little long.
Sir, you were a virtuous man.  A man of peace, dignity, honour, Integrity, transparency and respect. A God fearing man and a great historian. May your soul continue to sleep in the bosom of the lord were peace reigns.
By Uchenna, Chijioke, Chizaram and Pascal Onyebuchi.


TRIBUTE TO A MAN OF PEACE (GRAND PA)
Sir, how painful it is to know and live with the consciousness that there will never be a time without you again…..we believe there is time for everything. We will greatly miss those times you joked with us.
Rest in the Lord, till we meet to part no more.
Adieu grand pa
Cypril, Patrick, Amarachi, Chioma and ThankGOD
(Grand children)

TRIBUTE TO OUR ONE AND ONLY GRAND PA
Grand pa we could not imagine that your time is so near for your exist, who will call us vic, Nwa,Udo and Nnam; who will sing for us  Eziama na-acho iwu  ulo…….na-acho iwu ulo omaranma obi ha adigi otu ebe, Odigi  otu  ebe ojoronjo; who will play ball with us? Oh! Death why did you take our grand pa now we needed him most. Grand Pa may your soul rest in peace till resurrection morning when we will meet to be on the right hand side of God.
By Victor, Nnamdi, Udochi and Dika Innocent

TRIBUTE TO GRAND PAPA (Sir) Clinton
Grand pa, you suddenly passed on. When the news of your death came to us, we were like doubting it. Pa, your departure has made us believe that we have nobody again to call Sir, for we know that a sleep in Jesus is a blessed sleep.
Goodbye sir.

Clinton  Azubuike
Grandson.
