Time has flown so quickly my friend Acho - 9 years today since you left this world. You were always a special person with so much love in your heart. It only seemed like yesterday when you visited in Aba and you always allowed me drive your car when we went visiting friends. My family got to know you. Fast forward many years later, we reconnected in the UK and my husband got to know you. Despite your struggle with your health, you attended my daughter's christening on 24th May 2009. As I write this, I'm looking at the personalised gift plate you made for her. I smile because whenever I see that gift plate on my mantel place, I remember you & the date of my daughters christening. I miss the jokes, the laughter and most especially your goodness. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord, my friend. Indeed you are forever missed. Nkem

Acho Chays! Unforgettable. Simplicity,sincerity, humility, humanist,sharing everything love, kindness, other peoples pain/grief.You drove your beetle from Nsukka to visit me in Enugu Campus during my 2nd MBBS exam.and I remember your encouraging words.You never forgot to wish me HBD even when we share same date.I waited for you to trace me to Lagos abode as you kept promising but you hid from me your pains and battle of survival. Instead you surfed my phone no. from net which became your passion in your most difficult and trial moment to reassure me that your marriage plans was in pipeline. Your demise was the reason I cancelled my plan to attend medical conference in UK. You will continue to live in my heart till we meet to part no more. RIP in peace soul mate.

Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I write thi tribute about a wonderful and dear friend.
I will forever cherish the fun we had at ur place and also at 'Madams'. You introduced me to Nigerian cuisine and also to the Pink Lady- that sometimes left me quite sick- but kept on with it.
I also met my soul mate at your house- lol.
Although we were not in touch very often- you were always close to my heart.
You will be dearly missed, my friend- WATA GWAAN.
May your soul RIP.
Love always- your South African friend.

Miss you Chays

How he touched my life, in life uncertainties and challenges
June 6, 2011
In my life journeys, as I blossomed from a bud, to a flower never have I met emphatically , what I term a rare specie of a Human Being as Acho , whom was relentless in making everyone feel special and happy around him.
He catered and cared for everyone with an unimaginable and indepth selfless spirited nature..
He was a great Elder Brother, I never had coming from a family of two, where I was the eldest daughter and would always look up to getting some sincere brotherly advice from a purported
Elder brother, I never had. Advice to me only came from my dearest Dad Professor Mike Oleka, or my brother ,Amobi Oleka and my late Mum.
But not withstanding seeing an individual with no biological relationship completely selfless, loving me my family, my friends, my young daughter a toddler, the way Jesus loved his childrenand told us to practice love was to me not of this age, probably life after death.
My Dearest friend Acho passed away, after having gone through so much pain,in a bid to re-cooperateand still in his last day, fighting to survive, he still remained merry as ever.
It was so shocking to me hearing about his death, I cried and called my Dad whom consoled me million of miles away.
As Acho soul rests in perfect peace and GOD gives his dear family the strenght and fortitude to bear the loss, it finally dawns on me that, thats the story of life you’re here today and gone tomorrow, when you least expect it.
I guess, I am left with no option to face reality that CHACHO is gone, and will never be there to make me smile when I am sad, give me a pat in the back, and remember every single memorable occasion of life be it birthdays, or Christmas anywhere in the world.
Your fondly remembered, Acho by lots of people you touched their hearts immensely with so much love.
Acho, in tears , I surely do miss you and hope to meet you were there is peace and no death again.
Because Acho Dear, the world is pain knowing your gone.
I miss you ChaCho and we love you,everyone sends warm wishes okay!!!
Love you brother!!!
