Dearest Mi,
Sometimes are painful especially...you know when, many other times we are full of thanksgiving. It has been by God's grace all the way. As the date of your memorial drew near, I found myself lost in thought of things that could have been amd things that might not be...who knows. All things are working together for our good.

Did I mention that the kids are growing so rapidly. A lot of times we wish you were here.

And yes...that project has finally been completed Mi! Everyone gave up on me..infact all that could happen happened and in my despair God always made a way.

So much to say but I thank God for the journey and the process. I equally thank God for leading us all the way!
You are still much in our hearts.
We will always love you

May you continue to live on

It's been 3 years, 3 years since we got the tragic news that you passed away. I remember that day, it was just a bright sunny day when we were all doing our chores.   
That day was pretty tough for all of us especially my mum , but we were all consoled by the fact that you died trying to save someone in the hospital, you died a hero . Thank you, thank you for being a father to us. thank you for helping us when we needed it the most .I'll always remember you Dad, for being my best friend.

Dearest Mi,
Three years already without your laughter, smiles, jokes and loving care. Indeed, three years without our intellectual gist, argument. You could argue for Africa (smiles).I miss your teachings. I woke up in the early hours of the morning and went through videos of yourself and the children. I found myself laughing, crying and thanking God for the opportunity to reminisce.

Its been a roller coaster ride but through it all, I judge God faithful. We have learnt to live one day at a time, trusting God all the way. Who would have thought that we'll still be together as a family? Who would have thought that my sanity would remain intact? Who would have thought that we'd still be radiating God's glory and experiencing His goodness? Like the psalmist, we were left for dead but God has kept us.

The children have grown so tall Mi, you wouldn't believe I now look up at them. We miss you everyday and on a day like this, we miss you more. But I know that as you have joined the cloud of witnesses, you are giving God the glory for our lives.

We will always love you!

It's been three years without your laughter smile, jokes even spanking
I will never forget you daddy .
I know how much you will want to hear that - but I don't only write this because you like hearing this- I write this because it warms all over me to write this to you.
It's such a terribly long time since we heard the news. We wish you were here right now but we know you are watching from heaven.
God knew why this happened. We enjoyed every time you've spent with us (especially when I play with your I-pad , but Ebube mostly uses it).
Thank you for being a good father to us
I'll never forget
truly, I'll never forget
This is kene.

Daddy, I always loved it when you played game with us on your tab. We downloaded so many games and most of them included dls 19/20(dream league soccer 2019/2020). My brother downloaded the game.
I am here to say that you have been a hero to us and others, dad.

You saved people from sickness. You were a kind man who developed a medical project to help the less privileged in your community when you served in Ilorin. As a medical doctor, you offered free medical services to people. You also risked your life in doing so. But...you died of covid-19 after saving a pregnant woman through operation in April 2020.

I love you dad for many reasons: being our hero, making us laugh, the yummy yummy plantain and egg you make(mmm), and mostly playing games with you. we always partnered against ebube and mummy. At times we won and at times they won too. You were a very good father to us at all times.
I love you always daddy.

It has been two years since you died. I remember when we got the news about your death. It was very devastating, especially for mum. I still remember the time she nearly had a breakdown, but today we thank God for everything he has done.
You have always been my best friend, I remember when we used to play chess, it was always a fun experience because you taught me the tactics and ways to read and counter my opponent's moves. I learned a lot from you, daddy. In both the area of my life and my academics, you were the best teacher. I will forever miss you, and though you are gone you will always be in my heart.

Oh Mi, its been two years since you left us. God has been faithful. The children are doing good. You were right about them....!
Thank God for His keeping grace. Many made promises...a lot have failed, a few have kept to theirs. But God's promises are sure and His faithfulness abides.
See what God has done!
We will always love you dearly. Rest on Mi.

2 years Gone...
It still doesn't get easy.
I miss you Doc, some days are so tough but, it is well.
keep resting

A year has come and gone. And your birthday will always be a day of celebration and a time to remember the good old days. Thank you Mi for sharing your life with us. I will always love you!

Doc eeee! Despite how close we are, that’s how I always called you, you understood me even when I wasn’t talking, you always understood. Your support for my husband and I is second to none, your relationship with Daivyan is something special. You are one Man that having you in our corner through the toughest of times was greater than having the whole world. I could confidently talk about everything  and anything with you, when the results were glaringly clear, I would rather hear from you, no matter which part of the world I was, you would give me a listening ear, you would encourage me, you would tell me ‘Matty! No worry! God is in control!’ Chai... who will I disturb when I need someone to bikonu? All those late nights together with my husband, only three of us planning and discussing everything, to think that you worried about everyone but never let us worry about you! Doc! To think that you carried the whole world on your shoulder and I can’t fathom who carried yours in the last hours of your time here... did I just say that? Ah! Doc eeee... no be so we talk am ooo, no be so oooo! The last 3days have been the most devastating for me, Daivyan is asking for a phone call with you Doc! Guess what I have been telling him? I say ‘Daivyan! Doc Chugbo is now an angel, now you have your own personal and special angel to pray for you up there so that your tummy never pains you again!’ Haaa... I can imagine you arguing and laughing with the angels! They are in for it mehn, they took my Doc to join them, they will learn politics, you will teach them the bible in a way they have never known it, yeah... I know they should know the bible but I don’t think they know it better than you! You will play and discuss soccer with them, I can imagine you teasing them saying ‘but you know I was trying to save her and I didn’t know her true state! Why did you have to act like that naaa?’ I can see you laughing and teasing them all around, they took my best friend and Doctor to join them, heaven is in for a good time Oh Doc! The last time we spoke, how could I have known? I couldn’t have, as usual, your patients are very personal to you and you would never discuss them with anyone no matter how close, you also never believed any case was impossible and that’s why you gave us the confidence to push to take Daivyan out at the time, you’ve been our living angel and now you have gone up to continue the work. You no dey sleep Doc! Always on the road for one patient or the other, I remember 2016, after we got back from India, several nights Daivyan was having crisis, I won’t forget the particular one, you were at my house till 2am, managed the situation, left for GRA, you were just getting to your house, when I called you again that he was in a bad shape again, you turned back, got to my place again before 4am, you were with us till about 6, money was never the problem, it was never a criteria for you to treat patients, Never! Ah! Doc, you no dey rest! Even years after, it became a routine, we would sit out late at least once every other week, just discussing everything that had to do with us and Daivyan but never yours, never yours Doc, you would listen to us but rarely talked about your problems. I miss you now greatly, who will I discuss my projects with, after discussing with my husband, I would always call you and hear your say, you never got tired of my wahala, never Doc! Ah! No be so we talk am ooooo... I can go on and on but let me stop, my eyes hurt, I can’t think, I can’t do anything, your smile is constantly in my face, your laughter Doc! Haaaa... so I won’t hear that laughter again? Ah! No be so we talk am oooo! Haaa... this one hit me but rest Doc! You need to rest, I am confident that you are up there, rest but please watch over my Daivyan, that’s what I told him you are doing, please now that you are there, can you make sure to talk to God that this pain goes away forever? I trust you to do that
Rest Doc! Rest Doc... Rest my brother and best friend... till we meet again! Adieu!
Dr Emeka Michael Chugbo... Our Hero! Gone but not forgotten.

I can't believe it's 1 year now I heard one of the most heart wrenching news ...hmm Dr Chugbo like I will always call you ...you were indeed my friend, took delivery of my children and how you will laugh at me ..will stay with me into the night .just a week before you passed I was reminded of how you cried with me at Geoff Ohen after I had Jerry and we asked God for healing and in 24hours God answered .there are so so many stories ..I introduced you to so many people medi care and you were a son to my mum. Dr Chugbo I still can't believe it ...just feels like we will catch up when we see.May God continue to keep your family. You were a good man and i know your sons will do you proud..... Olanma Agbaje like you will call me

You touched every life you came in contact with. It was effortless, because it was your calling. The phone would not stop ringing on that fateful day! "How is Emeka?" How are you? Is he at home? Been calling him and he's not picking..." I started feeling uncomfortable with the incessant calls. And then...my parents sent for us and broke the news! Oh what a tragedy! I was heart broken...but God gets the glory! You impacted so much in our lives. And the children? You equipped them with so much and made it easy for me. Thank you so much Mi! Thanks for the love, the support, always telling us we can do it, "keep moving, don't stop, don't let anybody intimidate you". Oh yes you were gentle but fearless! You could take up a whole army single handedly once you believed in something! Always full of compassion, rising up to defend and care for those in need. A brilliant doctor you were, I remember when you took a patient to the UK, and you were not comfortable with the diagnosis, you told them bluntly your opinion and after series of tests, they admitted you were right and that earned you a lot of respect and admiration from the medical team. Unforgettable you are. We will always love you!

Daddy, this is Kene. I will always love you. You cared for us all. You bought things for us and always took us out. You always said, “hey guy, remove that thing from there”. You always called me guy as if we are mates. you always talked to me like your friend. You are my best friend daddy. I miss you. I don’t know where your iPad is. Mummy can’t find it. Everybody says that you were a great doctor. But you were my best friend and the best daddy in the whole wide world.
KENE

Daddy, the love you had for us was incredible. I like how you always instilled discipline in us. I always loved the way you smiled at us. You had a very wonderful smile. And your laughter is so tickling. I miss the hug you gave us whenever you’re back from the hospital and we rush into your arms just at the door. Most times, when we know you are coming back home, we will stay up late, just to see you because we knew you could get called out again to attend to your patients. mummy always yelled at us and told us to go to bed and then we will pretend to be asleep only to jump out of bed when we hear the doorbell. I love how you taught us to be focused and diligent in all that we do. We will never forget you though you are six feet under. I am confident that you are in heaven smiling down at us with so much love in your eyes. We will always love you daddy!
