I met you on a beautiful morning in Pankshin, Plateau State, where we were posted to carry out our Primary assignment (NYSC).  We took to each other as soon as we met and became inseparable, that friendship continued until the Almighty God decided to take you to a better place.

Adobi, you were very intelligent, highly talented and forward going.  You never encouraged laziness and did your best to make everyone who came your way relevant.  You related with both the high and the low, making sure that everyone was given their rightful place in the scheme of things.  You were a source of encouragement and handled issues logically and without bias.  You never pretended about your feelings for people or issues. 

I learnt alot from you, from using the right glass for different types of drinks to wearing the right clothes for occassions.  We shared alot of secrets and couldtalked about anything.  You treated me like your blood sister and wanted me present at all your family functions.  You always said good morning every morning and ended the day with a few chats on BB.  Adobi, I have been waiting for your calls and chats since June 3rd but it looks like I will never get them any more.


Dobis, I miss you.  I miss you very much.  You kept me always on my toes, checking on me now and again. You made sure I never had a dull moment.   We had plans, aspirations and expectations but in all these, God is still God.  He has His reason for allowing this to happen and in obedience we give Him all the glory.

Adobi, rest in peace until we meet on the resurrection day.

ALL GLORY MUST BE TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE, NO MAN ON EARTH SHOULD GLORY TO HIMSELF, ALL GLORY MUST BE TO THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Remember!

That you always gave to me, and I always receive from you.

You gave your all when I and Mojeks had that emotional expereince in 2006.
You gave your expertised when I was with the Koreans.

In giving you will always receive. Our good wishes now accompany you!

You opened the door for me with a smile the last time I saw you on this side.

You always smile! 

I Remember!

Your 40th birthday in Lagos. You smiled, you always smiled.

Smile on and awaken to joyful activity in this wonderful Creation of our Lord!

No one gets away with calling me Emy how much more Mimi.... Only you Adobi!

Considering the fact that as cousins, we never used to talk about 15yrs ago, yet we lived in the same house.You would cook and not give me, but you always waited for me to come back from work, cos you know I always had a story to tell. Here we are 15yrs after,you alone called me a name I so despised and hated .I could not have a complete day without talking to you,I must not come to your house with a full belly.You were ever so curious to know the kind of woman I would marry, you had to go through all the hold up at Apongbo to see this woman I want to spend my whole life with. "So that is your spec"you said.I did not know I was the one getting married or you.

I would buy ordinary yam for you and you would tie ribbon on it and check it into a plane that eventually took your life,"please nothing should happen to this yam "you would tell them.You would cook the yam yourself and tell people, this is "Mimi's yam"my brother. "Emeka talk to your brother Ejike" you would say.Yet Ejike is your brother."No he is your brother, and you are my brother".

Adobi your eco green Hyundia ix35 is in my house, come let me drive you round, I have finally driven it.Please come, please come am waiting......... I will be at the arrival terminal waiting for you to come.Just because I know you live.

Heaven is wondering what has changed. You have made your grand entry over there as you always do here on earth. I know this because even the devil would not have you in hell cos you would take the attention away from him and make the people there happy! Adobi you live, I know you live.Life might not be the same without you but I know you live! 

You were one of my first childhood friends and my bestest friend. Flashes of the days when you and I used to play all the time, racing from your house to mine back and forth. Sharing our food, sweets,dolls etc, dressing Chizoba for her parties, remember when Nnenna was born, she was another doll for us! Going to school, though you were younger, I took you like a baby sister I did not have. Then we lost touch for so many years and found ourselves a couple of years ago, discussing how we would reunite since I don't stay local. Was looking forward to the food you promised preparing for me.( I can't believe this)
God knows best, Farewell my friend Adaobi till we meet to part no more. Good night. 

Adobi, your memory will forever live with us. You had sent me that text saying that you were compelled to pay for a premium ticket for your return trip. Shortly after replying you in expectation that your flight would have arrived, those gory BB messages and pictures started hitting my phone. My bright Sunday afternoon suddenly turned dark, sadness enveloped me. I hate to think you are gone and have asked why severally without an answer. Thankfully, I found comfort in the Lord for He alone knows why and I trust Him to comfort your family, your friends, colleagues and all the people you affected in one way or the other. May you find rest in the bosom of our Lord, Amen! Farewell Adobi Mojekwu!
