On behalf of my family,

--- Your loving daughter, Ije.

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 Ndidi, sorry for your loss. It's been a few years since we have talked but you are still in my thoughts. Hope you are well brother

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

Humphrey has joined you. Your two Spirits should rest in peace!!

Daddy:
That's your name to all of us. I just miss you in the flesh. Thank you for everything you did for humanity. You will be forever missed.
Charles.

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.

It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing away of Dr. Bertram Igbogbahaka. On behalf of his many friends in Cardiff and South Wales I send our condolences to his family and friends. You are in our thoughts.
Professor Nazar Amso, Cardiff University School of Medicine OBGYN

Sono commossa. Tantissimo.

A giant is gone! Your fame & medical expertise were noted in your hometown Achi, in England, U C H Ibadan, Aba, & other places. You return to your Maker to hear "Well done Dr Bertram Igbogbahaka!" We share the grief caused by your departure, with your wife Grace, your children, grandchildren and other relatives.
Adieu! Rest in peace!

We recieved with sadness the news of Daddy's passing on. I consider myself a part of the extended family, having experienced first-hand the family's hospitality during a vacation at Chinyere's invitation over three decades ago.We thank God for the numerous testimonies of Daddy's hard work and generosity. We thank God that he finished strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia!

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. Your honest labour and fortitude of character live to be emulated by all of us. Our last session of prayers together on the 23rd of Dec 2011 was reassuring of your eternal rest in the LORD. AU REVOIR PAPA. CHY E ADAMAH

Doctor, as you were fondly called. You were an inspiration to your generation. You have left a lasting legacy.Rest in perfect peace!

Honestly i dont know wat to say, 'cos it was a shock to me and my heart bitters, it is really a great loss, the little time i spent in daddy's house was enough for me to tell how wonderful, caring and loving he was, Daddy was really a Father not only to his family, but also to the societies at large. i will forever miss you. my condolence to the Mrs Obianyor and Igbogbohaka's family.

Ijay, Nayo and family

We would've wished each other a 'Happy birthday' today. I would've prayed, you would've prophesied and we would've reminded each other 'na Chukwu ebuka'. It felt strange to roll solo today but fond memories of you made things easier. I love you, I miss you. Eze Chinyereugo...What a privilege to have called you DADDY!!!  -'Ogy girl

TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND AND INLAW
               CHIEF DR, SIR.B.O IGBOGBAHAKA (Chinyeleugo)
On behalf of MEDOS NIG LTD and the entire Megwa’s family of Nduhu Amuzi Obowo, we commiserate with the Igbogbahaka family of Enugu Akwu Achi on the glorious departure of Chief Dr. Sir B. O. Igbogbahaka. It is tasking and very difficult writing a tribute to my very good friend Dr. Sir Bertram O.

A tribute to my Beloved Daddy
I received a call from you just a day before your demise, it was a rude shock. In your very words you kept on saying Ify” sorry for your pain, and for not being strong to help me over come it .And for all that I had passed through, having gone through a painful surgery. Well its sad that you are no more, you encouraged me a lot. Little Chris keeps asking after his gra

It saddens me to hear of the passing of a great man, a man whose hospitality I have enjoyed - the father of a dear friend, Ogadinma. I thank God today for a life of no mean achievements, a life of perseverance and strength and an enduring legacy left behind. Goodbye, dear sir.

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.

Happy Birthday Daddy Bertram! Happy Birthday Ogadinma! Today, 22nd Feb 2012 (UK Time)
What can I say........ Heaven is indeed rejoicing! I never met you, but I KNEW you. We spoke once, you prayed and I received. Thank you Sir.
Rest in God's perfect peace. Amen.

Ije, Charles, Adaeze, Emeka, Kelechi and Ebuka
I am really sorry for your loss. May you take some solace knowing that your dad is resting peacefully in heaven with all the angels. To the entire Igbogbahaka family please accept my sympathy. May God bless you all and give you the strength and courage through this time.
Sincerely, the Allen family.

Ije,Oga and Chukwuma.I just got to know. Your daddy was my daddy's close friend. Ije, you are my friend(thr primary and secondary schs) .I really feel your pain.Your daddy was a humble man. But in all situation Lets give thanks to God. Sir , may your soul rest in perfect peace.
             - nee Ify Ihekire    

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!

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 overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love. my brother, Life is a dream walking, death is a going home. Please accept our most heartfelt condolence for your loss…our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Peace, Pray

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

Daddy,
Thank you for entrusting your beautiful daughter "Ije girl" to me as my wife. Thank you for never seeing me as an in-law but rather as one of your biological sons. Thank you for all the lessons in humility that you taught me. I just can't THANK YOU enough. I am so PROUD OF YOU. --------- Charles.

'' 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

Daddy,
We can only give thanks to God almighty that we were the chose few to be part of your family. Your legacy of honesty, handwork and integrity is very outstanding in our lives today. The only comfort we have is the hope that we will meet again in heaven where we will rejoice in the father's arm. Rest in God's perfect love daddy.
