Equip as called by OBI, Papa chichi, Nini (Nneka Okechi) and OBI My bigger bros of blessed memory!!
Uncle Obiora,
I cant get myself to accept your transition.
As soon as i got that painful call i screamed and kept saying its a lie and refused to accept it.
I told my husband that we must break the protocol and gather all the Men of God that had assembled for our annual RCCG LETS GO A FISHING programme to pray for your resurection including our guest speaker Pst J .T. Kalejaye.
Bros m i was so sure you will get up and stay much longer with us.After all the prayers OBI you did not rise. Pst J. T told us that you would have come back to us if God wanted you to do so.
OBI, I remember growing up with you, i remember the days we played football together and you and i were a team of two with me as your goal keeper and the garage was our goal post,challenging Uche, IK and Chuchu. Despite the fact that they were THREE againt us TWO we always defeated them lol lol .Bros you will give me a HI five and we would hug when we scored but when they scored us you will laugh at me and say Nini i na fe esepa ebe afu Ik enye anyi GOOO. it was so much fun. Fun Loving Bros!!
OBI, I remember our trip to Jos to visit Aunty U in the 80s, I particurlarly remember our visit to wild life park and how cold i was because i had left my cardigan in the car I must have under estimated the weather. Bros u looked at me and said Oyi ana tu gi ? I nodded and you quickly pulled out your sweater and gave to me.That is typical of you. Kind and affectionate Bros!!
OBI, In 1995 while going to visit you in Ajao Estate i met my husband PJ. You told me that he was your friends friend and encouraged me to marry him.That day you begged me that due to tight work Schedule you would not be able to take me out for lunch. Bros you gave me N4000 and told me to make sure i go somewhere nice and treat myself.
Bros i took your counsel and eventually married John. Thank you for that counsel and encouragement. It was you that God used to fufill my destiny of early marriage.
OBI NWANNEM you eventually became my neighbour i recall how i used to send my maid to call you for lunch whenever i made a sumptions meal.
Nwakaibeya, you made my trip to Ibuzo during Iks trad memorable we were together in Aunty Nkirus house in Illah .We gisted through out the night with Aunty Nkiru, Bros we laughed and played as we remembered our childhood days, at interval you will signal me to go to Aunty Nkirus fridge to get drinks. I remember how i grapped your chicken from you. We played till about 2am when i forced my self away because of my early trip to lagos next day.
OBI my telephone conversation with you on the 23rd of Dec 2015 was somehow, you promised me that we shall see at the wedding despite the fact that you were yet to get the invite.Bros in a nutshell you said we are family and no need for formalities or protocol with family members. Thats how simple you are. Yes you ARE and not WERE because you are sleeping in the Lords bosom.
