My sweet Daddy, it was exactly six months today that you most humbly bowed out of this trouble-filled and wicked world leaving a vacuum too large to fill. Although life may never be the same in a world without you, I take solace in the divine trust that you are relaxing in the peace and sufficiency of the God that we serve. Your lovely memories will forever remain fresh in our healing hearts and your peace will always be a prayer point in our daily submissions to the Lord God Almighty.

Sir GC was a very articulate man, sincere and humble to the core. A great unifyer. He was endowed with great wisdom, the kind of wisdom that only worked for peace and progress of his fellow man.


He was as great a teacher as he was in history. I can forever recount his usual story of a Biafran wartime bird called Ndu. According to him, this unique specie of birds were seen more often during the Nigerian civil war (the Biafran war). The birds moved in their hundreds and as such were easy targets for the hunters. Because of the great love the birds had for each other, they made it nearly impossible for the hunters to achieve their aim as the surviving birds will all cluster together once the shot is fired to carry their brothers caught by the hunters fire to the tree top without allowing them drop to the hunter's reach. 


This is a great story of many lessons for unity, love and brotherhood.


May your great soul rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ and may your beloved mother the Blessed Virgin mary intercede for you forever. Amen.
