Adieu great umuahian from school house.you will never be forgotten

Last I saw Chijoke was in sometime in 93 when he came for his result in Govt College Umuahia. I remember he took my wristwatch and never gave it back to me. All these years, I ve been saying to myself I can't wait to catch gbujukwu again, for he must return back my watch 10 folds!
Right now, all I can say is to hell wit dat watch!!! All I want to see us you. Your sweet smile and laughter. Ur brotherly love. You took me and my twin brother as ur younger ones the moment we entered extension house. Always protected us from bullies. Ready to fight on our behalf.
It really funny, jus some days ago I remembered you and was wondering if you were stil residing abroad, little did I kw ur abode (or apartment as we call it in GCU) is now heaven.
So Long CJ, God kws best. Keep smiling down on us, till I meet u again, and remind u of my wristwatch.

Don Cj, the story about your death is one thing that have kept me pondering for so many days now. I kept asking my self, why you?but we can not question God because he knows the best, Onyem as I do call you, you are not dead as your name and memory will always be in the lips and mind of those who love and cherish you. Rest in Peace and may the good lord give your great family the grace to carry on with out you. We love you but God loves you more..Good night bro

Big pity u left early Chijioke Ugoji, Don CJ,, i keep going through our ping write ups and cant come close to thinking its true,, I pity your 4 little kids and your wife Itoro ( sweet heart) like u always call her,no one is gonna be father or husband to them the way you did, but God Has visited them with comfort and protection,, over 25 yrs of friendship cut short with accident, I pray God to give your family strength to manage this pain that cant go out forever,, hard to use R.I.P for you CJ,, Big joko R.I.P ,,, from alaowerri like u always call me,, ciao bro..

Fill not your hearts with pains and sorrow,
But remember in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smile.
I've gone to rest a while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
My going has eased my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
Not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because I will remember you all,
and look on with a smile.

Understand in your hearts,
I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
Î can live my life in the hearts of all of you..

Tribute from your friend. Prince Ejebi.

it's very shocking to hear of this cruel news.our brother,Gbujukwu as you were fondly called at GCU,there's hardly anything anyone can do in this circumstance than to submit to the will of the almighty.Good night, great Umuahian.

Bujukwu, as he was fondly called by we Umuahians died at the prime of his youth. Though I have never seen him since the first half of the 90's we left Umuahia, I must say that his memories remain fresh in my mind. I pray that God in his infinite mercy may grant him good repose in paradise.

Adieu, great Umuahian!

I'm in tears and lost of words. Adieu!

Nwunee that is what we normally call each other. You are my friend, My Chairman, My Hero and My Mentor. Who else will I talk about, who else will I boast about. A man with a large heart, A helper. A Strong Man,A Big Dreamer and A shooting star that just disappeared.

You called me and we said Happy new year few hours later you left this earth WHY ? . How can you allowed to be discussed with such past phrases ^ He Was^ He USED to ^ God you are all knowing God we can’t question you.
I pray you rest in the lord. I will always Love you
Tears ODEDE

Don CJ is still hard for me to believe that your gone, after a visit at Lekki the last time i set my eye's on you by November ending, although after visiting the police station and the venue where you lost your life i still find it difficult to believe your gone. I can remember your ambition to become a political figure in Imo state. Your a great man full of life and fun to be with, we can't question God, My prayer is for you to find peace as you pass on. Death is inevitable to everyone. May your soul rest in peace love you so much my master

Ugoorji C. as we call you in Umuahian. You were one of the guys that I met after 20 years we left Government college Umuahia that surprised me.
You Called Me in 2009 when we met behind shoprite Lekki'' Pa Single Please! Though my house is after Ajah please you must join me home, if for nothing for the respect I have for you". It was a nice outing. Since 2009 to this point am writing this tribute I have searched everywhere to see my good friend. It is unfortunate I found you this way. God knows the best. Rest in peace till we meet to part no more. bye

It is true that heaven is a resting place for Angels,same is true for the Children of God. My prayers are, that the Almighty God should have you in his bosom for you lived a kind life. Dear CJ, you were a loving caring husband,father,brother and friend too. I remember you vividly well long before you left the shores of this country. Late 90's in Surulere,your struggles in life just to make sure that your family and friends then were comfortable even with your meager earnings then. You surprised me one day,when i just asked you for a mere financial help,but what you ended up giving out to me surprised me and i continued to cherish that singular act of benevolence. Same is true with other people you did such great favors.

We exchanges messages last few weeks ago before Christmas and when i informed you that i will be back for Xmas in Nigeria,you were glad to see me too before traveling to US with your family. Eventually i didn't come earlier as i arranged and lost having a last chance to see you Don Cj. God knows why he took you this early at you peak in life. My solace goes to the fact that you left a beautiful family here in this world and your candle will always be lit by them and your friends too.

May the Almighty gives your loving mum,wife, children and siblings and all that are close to you,including me,the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Jee nke oma CJ, till we meet to part no more........Chinedu Ajuorah (Itaman)

I light a candle for the wonderful life you led.You touched many with your warmth and large heart.You were a shoulder to many weary necks,forever listening,forever willing and ready to help.Words alone cannot describe your personality,you were a gardener of the earth-watered and nurtured with your faith filled words and confident disposition.These qualities and more endeared me to you and we became good friends,brothers from our cradle days in Government College Umuahia,through our brief sojourn in Enugu and till the last moment you breathed your last.I write with grief in my heart,pain in my soul...why do they good die young?I will miss you Dr. Jim,you will live in my heart.I know you are in a better place,I know you are in heaven,keep smiling down,keep resting my bro.

A precious one from us has gone.
A voice we love is still.
A place is vacant in our hearts
which no one else can fill.
After our lonely heartaches
and our silent tears,
We will always have beautiful memories
of the one we loved so dear.
Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy love employ.
The battle is fought, the victory won.
Enter thy Master’s joy.

Bujukwu as we fondly called you back in the days at Govt College Umuahia. The last of your memory was the day you called me informing me of the arrival of your 3rd child little did i know they were 4 of them. You were willing to help & was full of life. In fact No Dull moment with you. Nwa Nze Japhet laa n'udo.

Chijoke ugorji- CJ, my brother and a friend. I remember the very first day we met in Edmonton- North London and we both started woundering where we have seen each other before, if at Owerri or lagos.From that moment we became close and began staying 2gether, means sharing things like two brothers. We took this accociation back home where we visited each others home town and never stopped reminding each other not to surrender to travail and storms of life. I must confess that you were a huge influence in my life and to those who came across you.
What a shock that am still yet to come in terms with, that your are dead. My heart bleeds & in deep thinking over many things. Driving me into your home on december 2012 and saw an obituary poster of your younger sister KC who died 2011, who was very close to me, tears dropped and you consoled me with words that God giveth and God has taken. Today is yours and could be of anyone tomorrow.What a painful world we stay!
Rest in the Lord Don CJ

Bujukwu the Big man.I am so devastated to hear of your sudden death that I could not even believe it was true but yet it did not change things.It is true ,we never saw each other again after we left GCU in 93,but I kept on saying I will meet you on a very good when I heard words about you.
Well,God knows the best and He cannot be questioned .All I can say is may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace .

¨Jaffar¨as we fondly call ourself,I still cannot accept the sad news that you are gone too soon.

How do I start? What can I say? Why did you have to go. You made the whole world light up with your amazing laugh. I smile when I remember how we started the jorney of friendship,when we slept on the same bed,trecked the streets of Surulere,shared our meals,shared the good times and the bad times .We were so different, you were clever and popular, I was shy and quiet. It took us a while to understand our humour and ways, but we did.

We laughed and went to places, we played jokes and giggled for hours,you became my bestman. For years we stuck together like glue until the time came for us to move on.

Heaven will be a happier place With the sound of your laughter!!!! RIP JAFFAR

Bro,the very first time you visited Madrid, coincided with the time i was about coming to Nigeria,i remembered you saying that i should reserve my apartment in Spain for you so that you can move in when you arrive,i did reserved the apartment for you and you did move in and stayed for 2months. My request to you now, is please reserve your apartment in paradise for me because someday i shall need to move in forever..
Take care

My Guy...This is the slogan we coined together when you took me in as your brother.When I was left out in the rain in 2006,you made me part of your family.You are still and will forever remain my brother.

You were a star that shines brighter than others,you are a courageous warrior,Death must have wrestled you hard but what can I say..You will be dearly missed by the legion of friends and well wishers.The pioneer of what is good and best for life.
I wish you a peaceful journey to eternity..Thank you for showing me Lagos and the true meaning of Brotherhood.from CEO-South Africa

My namesake, the last time we saw in club in Madrid you joked about how you missed Madrid action. It is sad to learn you had gone too soon.
In life, what matters isn't being applauded when you arrive, but being missed when you leave. Don Cj is well loved and missed by the many lives he touched in very special ways. We can only take solace knowing that he led a rich and rewarding life.
While we mourn your departure, we cannot but console ourselves, with the hope that friends, family and all those you left behind understand that you are in a better place.   Your namesake CJ ´HASSAN´
