Four years have come and gone so quickly. The memory of how you stood and confessed Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your sitting room has continued to give me joy. I have the assurance that you are resting in peace. Intelligence, greatness, courage, wisdom, neatness, hardwork and discipline are all the legacies you left behind. Daddy, your light shines on even after you are gone.
Much love, 'Chi girl' on behalf of all the Emma-Adamahs.

Dear Sister Ogadinma
The last time I saw you was at Uche Iwuchukwu's wedding in 2004. 11 YEARS LATER , I was browsing the internet and I stumbled on your dad's memorial website. I am deeply sorry. I remember how you lovingly talked about him and were very proud of him . You had always believed in him and I'm sure he knows you made him proud. My thoughts remain with you and your family and may God bless you all IJN

Beloved Dad, God saw you getting tired so He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands went to rest. And so God proved to us, He only takes the best.

We will always have loving memories of you, Dearest Dad. The battle is fought, the victory won. Servant of God, well done and Rest In Perfect Peace!!! --- Your loving "Ije Girl" for the Okorie Family.

A beautiful garden now stands alone,
Missing the one who nurtured it
But now he is gone,
His flowers still bloom, and the sun still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind,
The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts today,
He loved every flower even some that were weeds,
So much love he would plant with each little seed,
But just like his flowers he was part of Gods plan,
So when it was Dad's time God reached down his hand,
He looked through the Garden searching for the best,
That's when he found Dad, it was his time to rest,
It was hard for those who loved him, to just let him go,
But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing Dad, remember if you just wait,
When God has a spot in his garden, he'll meet you at the gate....

This is DR B.C Naik &(Mrs)DR.Asha Naik from Bangalore India.
We were expatriate doctors working for Dr.Igbogbahaka at Ucheoma Hospital. I was particularly involved with Dr.Igbogbahaka as i was a Gynaecologist myself, we worked for four years together with such cohesiveness, understanding and mutual respect, i can never forget my stay in Nigeria even though it is more than twenty five years since i left Ucheoma Hospital.
This gentleman of a doctor was so dedicated to his profession he would work for 16 to 18 hrs a day tirelessly he would lead from the front and was an inspiration and example for fellow colleagues.. Patients thronged around him from morning till late in the evening along with this he would have time to perform operative work, attend emergencies all this he did with empathy and concern for the patients.Many a times he would wave off the bill for a deserving less fortunate patient.
I had the good fortune of working with him and for him,he made me feel so comfortable and probably got the best out of me about which i came to know through his letters, how much he wanted me back.
My late response is indeed due to lack of communication but not due lack of appreciation, i loved and respected every person in the family Mrs Grace Igbogbahaka, Chukwuma, the other children who were still small..Mr Okoye (DEMAGWAGWU) was like my care taker, Sister Obi, Richard the records section man, Rufus Abango the mail runner, Mrs Ezenwa the O.T sister only to name a few.
Better late than never Hats Off to this great man whom we will all miss but cherish his good deeds to the ailing and needy humanity.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Your daddy was like a father to me. I am grateful for his generosity, and optimism. He graciously welcomed my family into your home after a natural disaster in the 1980s, and was always available when I needed advice. Doctor, thanks for making a difference in people's lives, and for a life well lived. You will always be remembered.  -Ndubuisi Orji

Daddy the time of your demise was shocking. Our last moments together were so memorable that they leave behind a fatherly gap that can never be replaced. Papa, we miss you.

Daddy you either left me too early or I waited too late. I was hoping we would both be here on Feb. 22ND, 2013 so I could share some things with you. It appears we will have to wait till I meet you.
Labor is the lot of man, labor leads to success. That is how you taught me to live my life; not cutting corners, but working hard at whatever I am doing and...

...getting as far away from it as possible if it proves to be simple. We forget certain things from our childhood, but somehow I always seem to remember that.
You were never quite the ‘love’, ‘hugs’, and ‘kisses’ type, in my view. We are exactly alike in that respect. Nevertheless, I would like to hug you, kiss you, tell you I love you, and wish you a happy 79Th birthday.

I met him. He was one of the most profound personalities I have ever come across. from 'FOTL' to 'jellycan'? It's difficult to believe that we wont see or hear directly from him on this side of eternity. Nevertheless, his legacy lives on in his children, grandchildren, principles, works and endeavours.
Sleep well sir and may the Lord comfort your family!

As you grief, bear in mind that grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve. As you cry remember that There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwh

'' I met you briefly in the 90's while I lived with your daughter - Ije. You were so simple and yet humble in the midst of your wealth. You served God & humanity with your resources. You have started the journey to rest but the two women you raised - Ije & Odinma are now pillars of the gospel in our time, thanks for that. The lord will comfort all that is mourning your exit Amen''. ...KOKO
