Whenever it is my wedding anniversary, I remember you left me suddenly, 3 days after my wedding. We agreed you will attend my wedding. Your ticket was ready. All of a sudden, I could not hear from you again. My wife saw you once. My baby never saw you. I have refused to go to Manchester because I will not see you there at the airport. Its difficult to believe that all that has happened really happened. It will take forever for us to forget you

3 years on, your sudden departure remains as fresh and painful

Continue to rest in peace George

We remember. we will continue to remember

Anele

We were at George's grave side yesterday the 8th of April the day we got a devastating news of his passing on to eternal glory. We prayed and said all we wanted to say to him. We were convinced he heard us. The difference was no response from him, no ugbua and wine for us. My brother George it will take a life time for me to get over your demise. Rest in perfect peace my brother. Chika and his family miss you so much. Be consoled that you are forever in our hearts

On this day of remembrance, we pray and give thanks.
Uncle, you were the ultimate TopDawg and supreme Oracle
Love me and the kids

Dearest Coz George, we continue to remember you. You were a man of honour, distinguished and caring. Continue to rest in the sweet bosom of the Almighty in his peace. We remembered you on your birthday and we know up there in heaven you see us and hear us when we say, oh if Cousin George was here, he ll know this or that. Eze, Rest in peace

Happy heavenly birthday to my number 1 most highest oracle, leader, empath, guru and holy spirit Uncle George. Though you are gone, your legacy lives on forever.
Amen.

Happy birthday onye oma nkem. I miss you every inch of the day. I hear your voice often, hope you do hear mine. Continue to rest in perfect peace Amen.

George, how are you doing? It’s been like 2 to 3 years when I saw you last. Happy birthday. Your family and friends are still holding the light you ignited. Good name is greater than gold. Sleep well

Wokelia
Happy Birthday
We remember you always but more so today on your 75th Birthday
We may not be able to do all the things that you did or would have done
Continue to test in Peace
We will do the best we can

Hey papa Africa its been 2 years but still feels like it was yesterday. Does it hurt less not having you here with me ? NO the answer is no . Quay is trying to hold me up . There was a day I missed you so much, he took me to hollingworth Lake. He remembered that you liked it there when I took you and you couldn't stop talking about the fish and Chips. He drove me there and we sat like me and you did in the car and ate fish and chips whilst watching the lake. 

He's put your picture of you that I like actually on the stairs so I get to see your beautiful smile everyday. I'm finding it hard you not being here. I miss telling you what I've been upto and you telling me it's ok to take it easy when I've taken on too much upon myself. I miss you ringing my phone, I miss bringing you morrisons salad. I just miss you so much it hurts and I just want it to stop.

Never forget that you are loved so much and missed every single day. All I ask is once in a while just send me a sign that you are watching over me and let me know that everything is going to be OK.

My brother George, it has been a difficult life without you. No one to open up to. I have a Borden, you are not here to listen to me. I miss you so much. Nwanne nkem continue to rest in perfect peace Amen. We went to Nigeria but without seeing you, movements were restricted. Nnam rest in perfect peace Amen

To my dearest Coz George , you are forever missed . Continue to rest in peace . We miss you ❤️

My brother George, life is not the same without you. We miss you so much nwanne nkem. Continue to rest in perfect peace Amen

Tribute to Eze Dr George Etugo, my beloved brother and friend.

George was a well known and valued member of our community.

As I write this Tribute, I still can't bring myself to believe that you have left us forever, but it is true, you have been taken away from us. 

We have come to accept, that man proposes, but God disposes.

May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace. (Amen)

By Zeke Ukairo Esq MBE

It's difficult for me to pen down something because I don't know where to start from, neither do I know where to stop.
The news of your departure to eternal glory came to me as a great shock. You had assured me that you will be in my wedding which was scheduled to hold on 5th April 2021. All of a sudden, I stopped hearing from you. You didn't write to me, neither did you reply my messages.
I got a lot of signs but I remained positive. You waited for me to get over and done with my wedding which you and I planned together, then you left for good after a few days. How time flies. I now have a daughter behind you.
I have not been able to forget any bit of moment we spent together, the journeys we made together, the ceremonies we attended together, etc. I was so happy you came back from FMC Owerri alive and travelled to Manchester. But I didn't know you won't come back from Manchester alive.
You supported my academic pursuit so much. You supported my ministry so much but you are not here to see me complete the theological training. You left just when we had the busiest period of our encounter. Apostle Paul said "What shall we say then?..."
I have a lot to write but tears wouldn't let me see clearly. I wish you are still in Manchester, I would have had hope of seeing and discussing with you soon.
I will only say Goodbye. Good night until the resurrection morning. 
I'm still that Ordinand that you never waited to see his ordination.

Cousin George, Onye Eze. Onuru ube nwanne agbala oso.

It's been one year since you left.
I have tried to pen down a little tribute for days now but it's been very difficult. I tried so hard on the 8th but i gave up after 3 attempts.

Who will actually know what we feel not having you around. Our rallying point, mentor, motivator, our shoulder to cry on and vent when we are so frustrated and it seems all hope is lost. You keep tab and monitor all your relatives no matter how distant. Our health adviser and physician even when you specialised in Dentistry.

It's hard, so hard, Dede may be because i lived with you for years and can testify that you are a very kind and compassionate man.

I am consoled by the level of encomium and testimonies that has poured out to you by all whose life you have touched in one way or the other. You were a saint here on earth even before you became a saint from heaven.

I just want to say 'thank you'
Rest on my Hero.

George !
….And so a year has gone by - already?
The sense of loss remains as fresh and sharp.
You should not have gone.
One wonders when closure will come.
Perhaps when the battle is over with those who should have cared for you better but did not.
I try to blunt the sharpness of the hurt with images and memories of times spent together, our long conversations, your sage advice , your ever ready smile.
You always said leave it to God
We leave you in the hands of God who knows best.
Continue to Rest In Peace.

Wokelia

In memory of my best friend & brother Dr/Eze/Sir Etugo
Words can't describe how much I miss you. When I think of going to Nigeria and remembering that I will not see you, I feel reluctant to travel. To say I miss you is under statement. George, you left without a word to me, It's unbearable to think that you are no more with us. Umuosogu will never forget you as a peace maker. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more.
Adieu George Etugo - from your brother Nze Christopher Nwokoro

I dreaded this day . When my phone pinged to let me know it's been a year. Pinged to let me know others have left a beautiful message for you. I don't want to say it's your anniversary; to me, you're just on holiday and can't get the network to call me back.

To me you are my superman . But reading all the lovely messages others have left, you are everyone's superman and I'm so proud to call you my dad. 

I know you got my text message I sent you not long ago. You know I'm not ok . You know I need you.

I know you left when you knew that someone is there to take over from you. When I think of you not being here it chokes me and I can't breath. My heart skips so many beats I don't know if I'm coming or going.

When I touched your picture today I felt the heat radiate from it. I know you are hurting too not being here.

You tell me " I wish I live long enough to see your children " . Well I wish you lived long enough to walk me down the aisle. I don't think I can hold it together on that day I need you to hold me up. I know you approve of him because you love the way he loves me.

Quayson doesn't realise how much he helps me remember you each and everyday. I buy him female perfumes the way I buy it for you because you both love the scent. Just like you he's not embarrassed to carry feminine bags and put his belongings in them just like you did. I tell him how much he reminds me of you it's unbelievable. 

Uncle Anie and aunty Ugo are looking after your little princess . They are doing an amazing job but I wish it was you here with me. Thank you for being by my side when I got my wedding dress. You made your presence known . Your name popped up on my sat nav as I drove .

Please continue to protect and guide me . And I promise to make you proud. On my wedding day I promise to play our song " sweet mother " . 

I love you so much and miss you more than words can describe . I don't think I can eat ugba without shedding a tear .  I was not ready, we all was not ready. 

My dearest Uncle George.. I wonder has anyone been missed so much by so many. You were truly a profoundly positive guide at all important points in my life. Always honest and often surprising in your dynamism of viewpoint. I love you. I miss you. Your legacy will be with us forever.

Your boy, Nnamdi Nwokoro

IN LOVING MEMORY OF SIR/EZE ETUGO (My brother - nwanne di na mba)

It’s heart-breaking to write about George Etugo in the past tense. It kills me not to be able to chat with you. You made me to think that you will never leave me. George, I at least expected you to die in the next 30 years.

George, you have brought me nothing but joy and happiness since the day I met you. Your love for people is unconditional. George, you defended every action good or bad with grace. You had a pure heart & thought no evil of anyone. Why did you die when I needed you most? All the things we planned to do in Nigeria and England. Whom can I discuss matters with now without it being broadcasted?

My brother was a quiet, unassuming and kind man. His smile alone brought happiness to all that mingled with him. My heart is in grief but I take solace in the fact that Heaven is the final abode to the faithful. George, the song may have ended but the melody lingers on. The candle that you light will not go dim in your absence because the baton has passed down to your brave sons and courageous daughter. I know you are looking down on all of us and encouraging us as usual. I see you everyday as if you are alive, the difference is that you are not talking to me. I don’t know how to overcome that one. We offered Holy Mass today on his first anniversary for the repose of his soul as there is not much we can do now than prayers. We miss him so much, may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

Adieu George, Adieu My brother from another mother till we meet again to part no more.
Lady Ugochinyere Nwokoro & family

My dear sweetheart, fiesty, ferocious, force to be reckoned with Uncle George, a year has passed since you left us to lead by ur example. I kno we will never reach your tall heights,but kno we're doing the best we can. You are forever missed and never forgotten.

With love and prayers

In his Memory.
May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace.

Just found that George has died in Manchester.He was a great friend of my husband who also died some years ago. My condolences to all his family .No one can take away your memories.I think they will be having a great meeting in Heaven !?

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Happy heavenly birthday Uncle,
Until we meet again,
I'll have a drink in your honour,
And remember the times we spent.

Oh it hurts, it hurts so much that I can not breath.
I wanted to text you on the 23rd to say I am thinking of you knowing that you are missing grandma so much on this day. But you weren't here to receive my text. It hit midnight and the 24th day appeared and I wanted to be the first person to wish you happy birthday as usual but that wasn't possible :( .

Today I had to ask God, Angel's and the universe to wish you a big happy birthday and a big hug from me. And to ask you, have you forgotten about me? I can't forget about you even if I wanted because it hurts so much. You tell me everything, the good things and your worries but you failed to tell me that you were leaving me. That's not fair papa Africa. Thank you for allowing me to see you in my dreams. But it's not the same as having you here with me. I miss you like crazy :(.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ONYE EZE.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I CAN'T KEEP QUEIT.

By this last year, i called to wish you a happy birthday. I can't believe you are not here with us again.
But i take solace in the fact that you are in a better place, resting from all your labour.
I celebrate your birthday Onye Eze, because you touched lives. You touched my life positively and am grateful.

Keep resting Dedem, because you carried alot of burdens here just to make sure everyone around you is good.

Happy Posthumous birthday Sir.
Heaven really gained.

I really miss you.
You remember you were pleading with me so you can replace my extracted tooth (front) at no cost and i will say later Dede. Now i am ready to do it and you are not here.
May God bless you for loving me unconditionally.

Rest on Onye Eze. 

From, Kate Okwuchi Ibekwe.
(nee Arunna)

I am Chika, from Rivers State and l live in Manchester.
Uncle George was like an Uncle to me. When my family & l moved into Manchester for the first time in 1999, he reached out to us. He supported us through good & bad times. He chaired ample meetings in support of me, especially when he attended a ceremony at the Trafford Borough Council and urged the directors to be more inclusive in recruiting & retaining BEM staff.
He was a kind, bold, outspoken, generous man and he also loved the "microphone". He was a great Orator who loved giving his valuable times & services to all. He had excellent Leadership skills & he promoted Community empowerment.

He will be greatly missed here in Greater Manchester where he helped so many people like myself.

Adious Uncle George.

Death where is thy sting... where is thy victory.

I remember my father telling me wonderful stories about Eze Dr George Etugo and the recurring words were-Noble, Gracious, HONEST, Caring, and a man of his words. These are values we all will continue to cherish.

May your soul rest in perfect peace, Amen 

Lady Oge Obiodu(KSJI) on behalf of Mr & Mrs Eugene Ihembu & Family (Umuanunu Nsu).

Eze Dr George Etugo. A friend, an adviser and my great teacher. I was privilege to know you and you took me like your daughter. You gave me an office in your hospital just to see me successful in Life. The news of your dismiss was a great shock to me but I have come to realize that Life is a journey and God can not be questioned. You lived a good life and you imparted so many lives positively and surely you will be missed. Your legacy lives on. Adeiu Doc. Still we meet to part no more. Good night. May your soul rest in peace in Jesus name Amen. Dr Emele Florence Chidinma. Optometrist

A kind hearted Hero, a mentor and a friend indeed.You died a Hero achieving all your hearts desires though we needed more of your presence but who am I to question the wish of the Almighty.
You lived a fulfilled life to God’s Glory.
May your gentle soul Rest In Peace.

In memory of our one and only Eze Dr George Chukwubueze Etugo.

To you George, the Lord took you from us on the 8th of April 2021, to a more peaceful place than the world we live in today.

Each time I think about your untimely death, I remember your smiling face and humble manners.

You will always be remembered.

From Zeke and Virginia Ukairo

Tribute to HRH Eze Dr George C Etugo, KSC, the Aku 1 of Umuchiaku -

Your transition has come to us, myself and entire family, as a great and shocking experience.

Over the years here in the United Kingdom and back in Nigeria, you supported and served the family with grace and kindness. You even presided as Chairperson for several social and wedding events as requested, with little or no notice. Always willing to support.

To the Uboma Community in Europe , you were a co-founding member, and followed it up with serving the Union as one of its earliest chairmen, despite living away in Manchester (some 5 hrs drive from London). Your dedication, support and services to UDU (E), remains part of your legacy and is memorable to all the members in whom you repeatedly raised, led and assisted in your very own style, wonderful sense of humour, and engaging personality, with many amusing remarks in our local dialect.

Your departure has left a huge void here as well as at home, where relations and well-wishers shall all miss you following this sudden home call. Your legacy and spirit shall live on forever.

We bid you farewell and commend you and all the departed faithfuls, to the Peace of God in your Eternal Rest, IJN Amen!

Chief Sunday Chibuzo Ogueri
Oputuzo 1 of Okata

Tribute to our beloved Cousin George (HRH Eze Dr. George Chukwubueze Etugo)!
By Chinedu Arunna

The news of your sudden death came to me as a shock, at a time we're all expecting your return from the UK for a medical check-up. Growing up with a great memory of you was inspiring, loving, and profound, as a young boy I remember dashing outside every weekend on the sound of a horn and upon sighting our beloved "Cousin George" car we will scream and rush out of the house, it was a thing of joy to see you stop at the Arunna's on your way home or back to Owerri.

This memory impressed on me and formed my thoughts about you as a loving dad, caring cousin, and perfect gentleman. There is no doubt that you are beloved by your family, relatives, and community, you lived an exemplary life, that embodies peace, love, and unity. You will forever be missed, and be remembered dearly in our hearts.

Adieu cousin George as we fondly called you, rest in power and peace till we meet on the day of resurrection.

TRIBUTE TO EZE GEORGE ETUGO
MY BROTHER AND MY FRIEND
By Dr Anele Ebizie
GEORGE! GEORGE!! , GEORGE!!! GEORGE!!!! GEORGE!!!!! GEORGE!!!!!! GEORGE!!!!!!!

I have continued shying away from writing this..  Writing it means that I accept that you are no more on this side of eternity. That you are Gone. Departed, Dead!

But how can it be. It can’t be. It should not be. It must not be. . I had said with mounting dread that night ..

How will it be?. Who will I be talking to into the late hours about this and that.
Who will I go to for advice on matters weighty and matters light ?
Who will I ask to tapia Igbo proverbs to me
I remember the last one .
It was ‘mere mere mere mere, mere nwanyi ejighi agba awhu onu’
A funny one and as usual you replied If I explain it to you it would mean the money used to pay your mothers dowry was wasted.

But leave me out of this.
This is a tribute to you
A great and exceptional person
The most kind hearted person I know
The person who goes out of your way his way to help anyone in need
The man whose kindness is often trampled on but smiles and says ‘leave it in God’s hand’. Yes I remember you lent money to a supposed friend, he refused to pay back and with further machinations stole your property and you said . ‘He is not my enemy. I leave it in the hands of God’
And when those who you have depended on have also let you down badly you have repeated the sam mantra.
Yes you bear people no ill will which accounts for the peace and calm that pervaded your life..

Mandela! The man of the people . The quintessential servant leader The man automatically crowned to lead any group he gets involved in. And for you leadership is always sacrifice, hard work, dedication.
Yes the robes of king ship have always sat easily upon you
Is it any wonder that you have ended as the Eze of your community.
Though now that has become a tanatlising promise of things that could have been.

I could go on and on . One could say that you did so much that you did not grow your own beard. But I am sure that though your work was not quite finished you will feel full filled as you journey on to the great beyond

Your kindness extended to me but I will struggle to forgive you the one bad thing you did to me. Yes - you died on me. I will try and forgive but I will not forget that and I will also not forget you . No never my brother Never

Adieu for now. Until we meet again on the other side of eternity
Rest in Peace..

Anele

Uncle George it is unbelievable you are gone, no longer on the other side of the phone or whatsapp, not in Lowa to catch up with not in the UK to be present at weddings, birthdays and support friends and family. The first time I traveled to Oldham I was shocked at the distance you travel each time you come to London to support all of us. There are so many stories about how you touched my life and the lives of others. Always there to solve problems for others selflessly. NWOKEOMA ! Lowa is not the same without you!  A great Iroko has fallen!  Rest in peace! I thank God for your life! From - Ugonna, Chiji and Obinna  

A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT ICON HRH EZE SIR/DR GEORGE C. ETUGO THE AKU I OF UMUCHIAKU LOWA AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY

The news of your sudden demise was like a volcano to those of us who know and understand your value, your vision and personality. It is really a wrong time to miss you, but the author of life who knows the end right from the beginning, knows when your assignment was completed and it is only his will that came to pass.

You were an epitome of kindness, love and peace. A very compassionate personality. The poor and vulnerable within and outside our community will actually miss your free medics on Wednesdays at your palace.

What shall we say about Eze Dr. Etugo, a man with impeccable character and humility personified. In your desperate effort to liberate your people and to facilitate our freedom from operation at the expense of your time, finance, energy, knowledge, etc, you received hard push and painful knocks from even the people you desired to protect. However, you remained resolute and sacrificed all that was needed to achieve the desired result.

The ultimate reward actually comes from the Almighty God and he does not add sorrow to it. It is therefore certain that you have already taken your pride of place in that glorious mansion which was the promise of Christ to those who worked for it.

Adieu brother; Adieu HRH., Adieu AKU 1. Adieu the pace setter, Adieu our compassionate King, till that glorious morning when we shall meet to part no more. 

Sir Josiah Maduabuchi Onuoha

The smile that broadens into laughter, genuine, warm, welcoming, loving. And the sound of, 'Nwoke Umunumo", with a louder laugh. That's the indelible portrait of Cousin George that is etched on my mind!

Cousin George is gone...too soon and suddenly! I mourn him so, but choose to celebrate his life - a life of service, many accomplishments, lots of wisdom and love...!

Cousin George will be sorely missed! Who again will hail me as "Nwoke Umunumo"? The laughter, the wisdom, the oratory in both Igbo & Queen’s English, the richness in Igbo and British culture...
Irreplaceable!

But we find solace in the legacy he left behind.

anayoChukwu Onwuka, "Cousin-in-love", Calgary Canada

Eze Dr George Etugo,you will be well missed, you were an honest and detribalised Nigerian. You stood by your word no matter what ,I was introduced to you by my cousin who is a very good friend of yours. You took it onto yourself to put business my way,you believed in me and my greatest joy is the fact that I never let you down. May your soul rest in perfect peace. May The Good Lord continue to watch over and provide for your family.

Doc, as I used to call him, was an exceptional gentleman and role model. Extremely caring and generous.

Through hard work and dedication, he achieved a lot and most importantly had massive impact on everyone that came him way including me.

It’s very sad but we submit to the will of God.

Thank you for all you did!

Our condolences to the entire family.

May he rest in peace Amen 

You meant so much to so many. You’ll be sorely missed. Your passion for life and your interest in lifting others will live on.

Uncle was someone who was generous with his time, money and resources. Back when my parents lived just around the corner from him I used to regularly spend time at his house hanging out with Chioma and Adi, if there was a social occasion I would attend with the family.

I was always welcome to his home anytime. There would be occasions where I would go to his home when no one was in and he was always happy for me not only to let myself in but also help myself to a drink or a snack. He always had space for others to stay and share his living space, there never seemed a time where someone was not lodging in his home.

When he used to run a dentist surgery locally and he always made time in his busy schedule for anyone in the family to attend for free check ups and treatment.

Uncle was very sociable and seemed to be an important part of any social occasion he was involved in, a party never seemed to quite get started until his arrival.

Uncles generosity, kindness and sociability are the main qualities I will also remember him for, he was a big presence in the family and will be missed.

May he rest in peace.

My dear Uncle George, there was no one like you. He must be commemorated and honoured in the best way that he deserves. His death and the past year should be an eye opener for all of us that we cannot predict what the future will bring; only God knows. I am fortunate to have both of my parents in my life and it is my duty to make sure that I show and they know that they are appreciated in my life. We all need to make sure we make space for the ones we love, no matter how small.

Uncle George was and will always be a prominent and loved figure within my family leading with wisdom and guidance. My mother and Father were guided by an ICON amongst men. My successes, my pride, my passion, my determination and perseverance are due to them and therefore the great power of Uncle George.

His legacy lives on in us.

Uncle, it has been the hardest thing to lose you. Your death came as a shock to me. I cannot bear this pain deep down in my heart. Two days before your departure to Nigeria, we’re planning to come over to your place to spend some time with you, but only for us to receive a call that you were in the hospital for medical reasons. We didn’t have the opportunity to visit you at the hospital before you left us. You have left a void that would be difficult to fill. You were like a father to me. You supported me throughout my university career. You were always there whenever my family or I needed you.

You brought me over to the UK. Throughout my time I lived with you in the UK, you treated me like a son, supported me, and provided everything I needed to stand on my own. Uncle, you had the heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You gave so much and inspired so many people. Your work will continue to inspire many more people.

You taught me a lot about how to work hard and respect people of different cultural backgrounds. You made me the man I am today, and I would never forget it. Although you have left us, we would strive to share with others those values you cherished so much.

While we mourn today, we also take comfort because you have fulfilled your mission on earth. Rest in perfect peace until we meet again. We will dearly miss you a lot.

Your Nephew
Onyekachi

George, Nwoko-oma, I called you. Your exit has shocked and created a huge void in the lives of many, here, in greater Manchester. Your humility, selflessness and kindness are on our lips wherever your name is mentioned. Your goodness will not be forgotten, our friend. Man of the people, another name I called you, chaii, we have lost a good man. I didn’t think you will go so soon but then, who am I to query God.
Heavenly Father, we commit this humble soul into your hands. Take care of him Lord as we give you glory for a beautiful life shared with many.
Adieu our friend. Adieu. Rest In Peace.

HRH EZE Sir Dr George Etugo. (Odogu, Chief, brother as we refer to one anther)
Could it be true that good people die young because God needs them?
My condolences to your wife, children, grandchildren, and family who are shocked in disbelief.
Writing this tribute hasn’t been easy not because I couldn’t find adequate words but because I had never prepared myself for writing one for my closest friend. Our routine chat and discussion never stopped until about 72 hrs before the devastating sad news.
You touched many lives from different background around the world that you may never know. I know this because I was close enough to you to see those who were blessed through you. I was one of the blessed ones. You shut your surgery for two weeks to travel to Namibia for my wedding, you were very supportive during my PhD studies. You introduced me to Edo community where I am now the vice chairman and made sure I became a member because you believed in community development and unity. This is the person you are. My Daughter Daniella you call princess has nothing but good memories of the time she was privilege to spend with you. Your kindness and generosity have no boundaries, no religion, tribe, or country. Therefore, you are mourned all over the world. You tirelessly worked hard in uniting and strengthening Nigerian community in diaspora and Umuchiaku community at home who has lost an irreplaceable Eze. Am glad I visited and spent some time with you in Owerri. I know we both looked forward to you spending sometime with me during my next visit home. I take comfort in the fact that our frequent almost daily chat from any part of the world kept us abreast with any development. Am also of the opinion that you are carrying on with your way of life wherever you are. I miss our very candid and constructive chats.
You have left a void in the lives of all those you knew which will be difficult to fill.
Thanks be to God for the good life you had.
We bid you farewell until we meet again.
Henry Aborele and Daniella Aborele

TRIBUTE To Cousin George (Man of the People).

Heaven knows the shock I had when I heard your demise. "Ihe oma a naghi eji ya n'aka".
Cousin George as we fondly call him, was so Loving, Caring, Accommodating and never allows Anyone around him suffer injustice.
No wonder, sometime ago when he came home from London and I went visiting, there he was in a meeting with his Community people deliberating on issues concerning them which they have been waiting on him.
He new no boundaries, embraced all. You hardly differentiate between his friends and family members. Many of his friends are like relations, (eg Mr & Mrs Adindu just to mention). 
Cousin George was so humorous; those who came around him will never feel unhappy because he will so crack jokes and you'll laugh and laugh.
He really touched hearts that could have gone in shambles.
Even with his profession as a Dentist, treated and operated on many free.

May God Almighty receive your gentle soul to Rest in Peace. Amen!

Adieu Dee !!
Adieu Cousin George !!!
Jee ije gi nke oma.
Eziada, Nneoma Blessing Ebegbulem. JP (Nee Arunna)

We cannot believe that you’re no longer with us. You have left a void that no one can ever fill. We will greatly miss your compassion and selfless dedication to helping others.

Ikoro tree that bears fruits is gone. A man of his words. Although death took you from us, it will not stop us from remembering how humble, kind, and caring you were.

You’re always happy, positive, cheerful, and sociable. Ever willing to render a helping hand to anyone in distress and caring deeply for others. What a wicked world!

Adieu, Dede
Adieu, Uncle George
Adieu, Onye Eze

Ogechi Nwanne and family

I planned for your coronation and not death.

Chukwubueze, I fondly called you. Where are you? A golden heart has stopped beating. You laboured for your people and others around, but God had a better plan for you.

Where do I start exuberant, knowledgeable, sociable, ambitious, active, competitive, caring, dependable, and responsible are words that describe you, my brother.

Your ability to make friends easily, adapt to new situations rapidly and care deeply for others would be remembered forever. You were a great and amazing brother.

Uwa akọlam ọnụ.

Uwa adịghị ka echere.
Leele otu ụwa dị.
Ọnwụ izuzuka, Igbara azụ site na ifopụ ahịhịa ka n’eto eto.
Ashịị gbakwa gị.
Nwanne m otu anya m nji ahụ ụzọ nke fọrọ n’ezi.
Nnam la nu udo.

Uncle,(HRH EZE SIR DR GEORGE ETUGO AKU 1 OF UMUCHIAKU AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY) I still can’t believe I am writing a tribute because of your passing. Words cannot describe this difficult moment, but if this is the last time I get to say goodbye then I know I will do so with the knowledge that I consider myself blessed to have lived this life as your nephew.
You touched so many lives by your selfless and countless acts of kindness, always giving and never expecting any favours in return. Your dedication to a cause was what set you apart. For every institution you worked for, you laid the path for others to succeed.
The benefits of your hard work is a living testimony for so many young men and women you took under your wings at a personal and professional level.
Uncle,(HRH EZE SIR DR GEORGE ETUGO AKU 1 OF UMUCHIAKU AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY) you were and will always be an inspiration to myself, the entire family and anyone who worked with you. You have left a void in the family that will never be filled.
While we mourn today, we also take comfort in the fact that your mission on earth have been fulfilled. We thank the Lord for your life and bid you farewell until we meet again
Your Nephew
