We do not really know where and how to begin but we take comfort in the ageless maxim of William Shakespeare. Death is an inevitable end which will come when it will. Howbeit at each person’s death, there comes with it some feeling of surprise, shock and bewilderment.
Words cannot really articulate nor can my feeble scribbling holistically articulate my feelings at the demise of Osuofia 1 of Oko. An erstwhile member and founder of Odenigbo forum, Oko chapter. A political frontier, philanthropist, great achiever and well known Christian to the core. In fact many a times I have been with you, I always wish I could replicate the exemplary life you have attributed to humanity.
There is indeed no doubt to the fact that the fatherly and humorous spirit of Osuofia will be missed by all, especially all who in one way or the other came across him or who had direct contact with him.
Standing on the promises of God, we ask the grieving family he left behind - his wife, children, grand children, immediate family and the entire Okeke family - to take heart and have hope in the meeting where our bodies shall know no corruption again in the kingdom of the blessed.
