MY ROCK OF A WOMAN! Where do I want to start?
Is it my first TEACHER that taught me my ABCs and one, two, three?
Is it my first PEDIATRICIAN that gave me Mist Alba or Castor oil every other Saturday and Sunday medicine (Daraprin) religiously after Mass?
Is it the green-thumbed GARDENER that taught me how to plant all kinds of seeds and how far apart?
Is it my first HOME ECONOMICS TEACHER from whom I learned to cook everything and sew complete outfits by age 8?
Is it my teacher in etiquette and how to be a desirable lady, wife and mother?

I proudly call myself a farmer’s daughter because you totally immersed me into farm life, even before I turned 8 years. Remember how you would wake me up, and take me with you to our farm before Cooperative? How I would cry all the way to school being up to one hour late? You told me I would thank you some day for that. Mama, I say thank you again for all that rigorous training.

Mama I remember how many times I saw you hiding in your room with a rosary in your hands, crying. Yes, your mates had a zillion boys. Finally, God answered and gave you 3 boys. Your three boys turned out to 30, always doing things for you. Your 6 girls – useless nwa nwayi – we turned out to be the desirables, the cornerstones. Thank God, faithful God.

Mama, you lived long to continue your good work, your covenant with the Almighty God. Yes, sleep on and take your rest because you did more than your fair share for humanity. Just like your husband, you left this earth much better than you found it. Everyone that met you, those that did not meet you, all bear witness for you, that you:
 Educated, trained, those who needed education
 Fed the hungry and less privileged
 Housed and paid rents for people
 Clothed a lot, the most important reason for your shop
 Built up self-esteem in young and old
 Found and created jobs for the jobless

Mama, your legacy lives on. Your grandkids are holding and keeping on that legacy as you quietly as you executed it.

Sleep on, Nne Onyeoma
Sleep on, Nne Beaty
Sleep on, Nne Rose
Rest on, Mama Sister
Rest on, Nne Theo
Rest in peace, Mama Nwuto
Good night, Mummy Njohnny
Good night, Mama Ejima
Good night, Mummy Ntonto Uju
Rest on Ezinwanyi, the great Muoneke matriarch.

Her Life

LIFE OF A NOBLE LADY: AGNES NWUGO MUONEKE NÉE NWABUEZE (1926 – 2021)

February 26, 2021
Agnes Nwugo Muoneke, born in the summer of 1926, was the second child of Mazi Nwabueze Ofoma and Martha Ofoma of Obinekiti, Umunwarahu, Obodoukwu in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State. Her siblings were Rosaline, Benedict, Cephas, Florence, Dorothy, Aguguo and Eriama.

Mama received most of her education in the Catholic Church and grew prominently amongst her agemates. She had a strong background and early assimilation into the Christian doctrine and was a lifelong active member in the church.

As a young adult, Mama married military veteran Anselm Esiobu Muoneke and together, they raised nine children, Beatrice, Mary Rose, Felicia, Theophilus, Anthony, John, Esther, Edith and Uju. As a young mother, she assisted in her husband’s trading outfit in Abakaliki, later going into her own business of dressmaking and fashion. She used her resources and position to offer apprenticeships to other young women in business as well as home economics.

Mama was a pioneer member of the Catholic Women’s Organization of Abakaliki and participated in the early Christian evangelism of the area. She and Papa were admitted into the noble order of the Knights of St John International in the 1970s, with Mama taking part in the Ladies’ Auxiliary group. It was in this group she later gained the title Noble Lady of the Order.

Noble Lady Agnes Muoneke was a resolute, yet unassuming, woman of character. She was a matron of countless charitable organizations. A strong proponent of her hometown, she was a member of the Obodoukwu Town Women’s Wing, and the Old Orlu Women’s Wing. As a member of the Mbanasa Women’s Organization before the civil war, she formed the cultural dance group, Ijaghaja, which was well known both at home and abroad. She did all this while working toward the development of Abakaliki and the creation of Ebonyi State.

After God called Papa home, Mama remained in Abakaliki, maintaining her clothing business across from the Abakpa main market. She served as chairman of A. E. Muoneke & Sons, Ltd. Ever faithful, Mama never started a day without celebrating morning mass. As she now has gone to her rest, we too are now faithful that she lies in the bosom of our Lord, enjoying His favour for all ages.
