Mama this void you left can never be filled. You were a mother to me and my children. The last time you were in London I was so excited to introduce Emmanuel to you. I didn't know that would be the last time seeing your beautiful face. The love you had for me and my children was unconditional, your kind heart is something that can never be replaced.
You never looked at me as Ada's best friend but a child that came from your own womb.
I will continue praying for you until we meet again sweet mother. Sleep well mama .
Broken hearted ,
Jubie .

A Tribute To My Aunty B from Chief Mrs Chidi Bernadette Ifeandu (Mokwe). It has been so painful to think that you’re no more. Since the news of your demise, it has not been the same, me and my siblings talk about you all the time remembering our good days together. Where do i start, from our parents teaching in the same school, our secondary school days with you being our mentor/mother . I will never forget your protection of “your girls” Me, Elo, Regina, Florence and Pauline. When Dr Edith told me of your relocation to Maryland I was filled with joy and drove down to Baltimore the next day to see you. Since then it was visitation on very regular bases spending most of your weekends with my family . You were one of the founding leaders of Mater Amabilis Old Girls Association in Washington DC Metro Area. We will never forget your contributions towards peace. Aunty B you were so sweet and Plesant coupled with your Aguleri dielect . My husband and Tee Nkegi are mourning . Aunty B mu “Nnunu everio , misiisi ye etezi ukpoo. Jee nke oma resting in bosom of The Lord. Let the Perpertual light shine upon you AMEN

TRIBUTE TO A LATE FRIEND : MRS THERESA ILOBA
(NEE 'BABY' KWAZU).
The news of Theresa's demise came to me as a rude shock as it was unexpected. It is therefore with a heavy heart and great emotion, that I write this tribute in her memory.
Theresa and I met at the University of Nigeria Nsukka where our husbands we're both lecturers at the institution. We got on very well at Nsukka and later moved to Onitsha in 1991 after the creation of Anambra state. We worked at the state education commission there (Onitsha Zonal Office) as local government supervisors of secondary Schools. On meeting Theresa, you will not fail to notice that she is a pretty elegant lady with prepossessing appearance. She was always cheerful, amiable, exuding warmth and friendliness. Anyone who came in contact with her, will not fail to recognise these sterling and unique qualities. A very adorable woman indeed.
As a mother, her love for her children, Nnamdi, Adaobi and Nmutaka was unparalleled. She was very caring, patient, tolerant and an understanding mother. She was an anchor to her children.
As a teacher and civil servant, she was very hardworking, diligent, honest, trustworthy, respectful and very accommodating. Baby, was very friendly, soft-spoken and enjoyed having friends and relations around. She saw something good in everyone and had a wonderful demeanor. She lived a good life worthy of emulation, and the Legacy she left behind will not die.
Your death at this time devastated your children, grandchildren relations and friends, as it came unexpected, despite your desire to live longer with them. I cannot easily forget her calls and words of consolation when I lost my husband. They were comforting and reassuring words from a good understanding friend.
Baby Kwazu, all that you left behind greatly mourn your death and will greatly miss you, especially Nmutaka and his family. The only consolation is that you will be in a better place, where there will be no more sickness, agony, wickedness, and sorrow.
May the almighty God receive your soul. May he comfort your children and their families. May they find consolation in your happy memories and the fortitude to bear your loss.
Adieu Theresa baby :
May your soul rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus. Amen.
Rest in perfect peace.
Je ije gi nke oma.
Your old friend
Nkolika Okafor (Mrs).

Theresa is one of my closest and dearest friends. She was one of our senior girls at Mater Amabilis Secondary School in Umuoji. Mrs. Bernadette Ifeandu nne. Mokwe connected me with girls from Anambra Division of Anambra State. From that time on, Theresa and I became close friends. We would meet again at the University of Nigeria. Her husband was my husband's lecturer and for the 10 years I worked at University of Nigeria, we forged a great friendship. She knew my children well as did I with her children.
Our friendship did not cease after we left Nigeria for America. Although we lost contact after leaving Nigeria, with Bernadette's help, I was able to reconnect with Theresa and we continued our friendship where we left off. I enjoyed our conversations and reminiscing of the good old days. Since we were both retired, we spent many days talking and texting in the recent years.
Around June, I called and texted many times with no response. After a while, Teresa's daughter, Adaobi, sent me a text saying that her mother was sick and had been admitted to the hospital and was recovering at home. I sent my regards and asked her to give my dear friend a message to call me.
A few weeks later, Theresa called me and updated me on her progress. She told me she had spent some time in rehab and would call me when she mustered enough energy to have a longer conversation. I continued calling and sending her texts without response.
On Monday July 26, 2020, I received a text that shattered me. I learned from Bernadette that Theresa had passed away. I was broken. I cried for a long time, mourning the loss of a great and dear friend.
I only have very fond memories of my dear friend Theresa and her passing has left a void in my heart. She was a kind and gentle soul. I miss her greatly each and every day. My sweet friend, I will always remember you until we meet again in the majestic Kingdom of Heaven.
Good bye my dear friend.

Sweet mummy, you taught me many things that I did not know that helps me today, and those things helped me today. Sweet mother when I stayed with you at University of Nsukka campus for my Primary and Secondary school life , you never one day beat or hurt me once. You took me as your first child, I never one day regret staying with you. Sweet Mother you are a mother indeed, so Gentle and kindness woman. May our Lord Jesus Christ open heaven for you. You are a mother indeed when I saw you in my dream I didn't know you were departing. I could have grabbed you, not to leave the World. We shall see each other in paradise. May your Gentle soul rest in Perfect Peace. Goodbye Sweet Mother. Obiageli Okafor Obey

I met this soft spoken and very easy going woman in 2012 when I visited my cousin, Mrs Bene Ifeandu, in Maryland. We became friends and kept in touch.
When she moved to Houston Texas, she inform me, I was excited that she was now closer to me. I planned visiting her, but for one reason or the other, the planned visits did not work out.
Anty B, as I fondly called her, was full of wisdom from life experiences, this she applied in giving advice/suggestions when problems/issues needed to be addressed. At times, I called Anty B just to listen to her speaking Aguleri dialect, each time, I felt as if I was in my hometown with similar language.
She never gave me reason to believe that she was very sick, and because she was soft spoken, I couldn’t dictate that from her voice each time we spoke. I became worried when calls to her wasn’t going through and I didn’t know anyone to ask what was going on, until I received an obituary message from her son.
I’ll miss you Anty B, I wish you a very safe journey to heaven where you will not experience any form of pain anymore.Rest In Peace.

Aunt B,it is hard to believe that the angels have taken you home at a time we least expected. I Spoke to you over the phone 3weeks before your demise, I asked you how you were doing and you said thank God you are getting better by the day, little did I know that was going to be the last time I was going to hear from you. Aunt, I doubt if we will ever be able to get over the pains of your death. Tears would not let me pen down how amazing you were, you never ceased to check up on me and the kids weekly, I will never forget the advice and encouragement you gave to me. All I can say is we are heart broken, but we take solace in the fact that we know you are in a better place free from sickness and pain. Good bye darling Aunt. We miss you

"Death a necessary end, will come when it will come." ~ William Shakespeare.. Baby I least expected you to bow to death now knowing how vibrant you were not too long ago. We had a memorable one week together in my house here in Asaba when you last visited Nigeria. I was fast looking forward to your visit again as you proposed. Baby, I still cannot come to terms with your demise but God knows best. Will surely miss you. Adieu my good friend. May your gentle soul rest in peace till we meet to part no more.

I met mummy in the late 90's through Adaobi, her daughter. Unknown to me, mummy had ties with my own family way before i was born. She told me stories of my parents. She was a warm, loving woman who embraced all who crossed her path. Your pain and struggle was hers, whenever we spoke she admonished me lovingly and prayed for me. She took me as her child and always wished nothing but the best for me. Mummy, you have answered the call of your God. As you journey back home to Paradise, may the Ray of Love out of The Almighty, lighten your path and may your path be blessed. Amen!

Theresa was a very loving and beautiful human being and is always concern for other peoples concern and welfare. Our friendship started during our time in Umuoji Mater Amabilis Secondary School which carried on spending time during holidays both at Enugu and Aguleri and also when I was going to United Kingdom she saw me off at Lagos Airport. The friendship continued while she went to Nsukka and while there with her beloved husband Professor Iloba and we celebrated the birth of all her children and continued while she located to USA and also when she visited United Kingdom. Theresa was a very loving mother who love her children and grandchildren and friends and peoples she care for. I pray that The Good Lord to protect and guide them in this time of grief and a great loss to us all. My love and condolences to your Mum brothers and sister. Good bye and God bless until we meet again . A friend and sister in the Lord from Justina Azuka Onuorah ( nee Egbuna)

My dear sister, I am aware that death is inevitable for every mortal, but the news of your death came to me as a big shock as I had communicated with her weeks earlier before the ugly incidence.
Despite the sickness that you had earlier gone through, you were seemingly at your best as you were vibrant and articulate in your deliberations on family, local and national issues. Not soon to be forgotten is the concern you had for every member of your family and the good times and moments we had during your lifetime.
The pains and wounds hurts and hurts every time I think about you,
Sleep well till the resurrection morning

On the 3rd day of October 1950, God made my wonderful woman whose heart was caved in gold in the little town of Aguleri in Nigeria. Your childhood was full of sweet memories. This molded you into a giant and pillar of a woman. You understood early in life the importance of hard work and independence and also the importance of family as a reflection of the larger society.
You went through the university with kids, combining the challenges of both academics and running the home. Kudos Mama! Being a teacher by profession, you taught me at an early age the need to be disciplined, responsible, respectful, sacrifice and how to be a real man. You often told me “a real man takes responsibility”. Your words of advice and wisdom molded me to the person I am today. Thank you mummy. God bless you immensely.
Your watchword was the bible verse was Psalm 128:1 – How blessed is everyone who fears the lord and who walks in His ways. Your favorite prayer was a prayer for total submission to the will of the almighty God "Jesus I love you, all I have is thine, yours I am and yours I want to be. Do with me whatsoever you will. You taught us as children the things of God and how to pray and seek Gods face in and out of season, how to share, how to sacrifice and be there for one another, remembering the poor and less privileged. Your generosity and kindness were unprecedented.
Dearest Mummy, I remember you every day. The pain within my heart is heavy, but I seek solace in God and his promises that he would never leave us or forsake us. You are in a better place. You would be missed by us your kids and grand kids and as the holy book promised us, we would see each other someday.
I love you mummy, and I always will.

I love to call her big mommy because she really is a mother, a wife who can accommodate anyone around her. Knowing her and staying with her in the year 2016 when she came to Nigeria was an eye opener for me. She thought me a lot and that has been keeping me. She said one time "Awele you have to be loyal and learn even if it will take time but if I can stay loyal I will definitely be successful." I hear stories about step mothers but with her today I can boldly say she is an amazing woman. I have a lot to write about her, for me its feels like a dream but I believe she is resting well now.... I am grateful to have her as a mom and I miss her seriously because I have always told her I wanted to spend time with her. She will keep telling me to pray but am happy she is in the right place...I love you so much big mommy

You are our sunshine that never goes down. Your death has taught me a few things in life. It’s always important to spend time with the people you love and care about because you never know. Your last words to me was “don’t bother yourself, do the best you can and leave the rest for God” and “I love you Nmutaka “. I am totally devastated and torn apart by your demise but like you said before your death, we leave it for God. When death takes your mother, it steals that word “mother” forever. But you will always be my super mother. Rest in Peace mom.

Adaobi: My beautiful mom, words are inadequate to express all I'd like to say about my mom. You were my bestie, confidant and virtuous mother .You are a true symbol of patience, love and understanding. Your door was open to all as you embraced all with open arms and love. Your fierce advocacy for education remains with me today. Evidently, things will never be the same without you. I love you deeply and will miss you desperately, Rest well with the angels my beautiful mom.
