IFEOMA
I remember…
We agreed to go home together
We prepared and planned the agenda
We set our goals and aspirations to be higher
We moved ahead to live as one forever

I remember…
You needed a clean health report
You headed to the physician for support
You stayed in bed despite the report
You called me to lift you up in support

I remember…
I believed you received the healing for us to go
I held out my hands and lifted you up to go
I felt your embrace even tighter than at the go
I saw your eyes brighten up with a glow
I lost your grip as you went limp and let go

I remember…
My calls to you yet awaiting an answer
My ears, all straining even for an echo
My heart longing for as much as a whimper
My body is yet aching from being broken
My mind, awash with longing and fond memories

I remember…
My name is Florence, you had told me
My parents also named me IFEOMA
My answer to you is “Yes I do…”
My life I dedicate to our union
My heart will be yours to love forever

I remember…
Today a year is gone like a lightening flash
Today My fear to lose you is on a leash
Today Our paths are parted till the rising
Today Your soul is free from all worrying
Today the life we lived become fond memories

I will remember you till my calling
I will live with the fond memories of our loving
I will remember our shared aspirations pursuing
I will build on the happiness of your heart and laughing
I will remain the UCHE you once loved in our living

I WILL REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS
FAREWELL, SLEEPWELL MY BABY.

A year today I spent my day laying my mother to rest. I didn’t cry, I didn’t sob because I wanted to be strong for my siblings and dad.

We had gone through an emotional roller coaster before that day. It was the most difficult experience for me but I knew I couldn’t show any weakness so I surrounded myself with people with positive energy to keep me grounded while we battled all the seen and unseen forces throughout that period.

Today, I celebrate my mum. She was a woman that loved the arts: dancing, speaking, teaching. She was a Barrister with the Nigerian Bar Association and she served in different capacities in her lifetime.

Today, I choose to remember how the atmosphere was filled with beautiful songs as we danced to my grandparents compound where she was traditionally received first before heading to church and finally laying her to rest, just like she was traditionally received in marriage before she headed to Church and entered her marriage to my dad.

Today, I smile in comfort that she is resting in the bosom of Jesus Christ because she was a Christain who didn’t hide her faith, but used it to help others around her some of which I didn’t even know of until her death.

Today, I celebrate my mother and all her awesomeness as I write this.

Keep resting Momma…

Didn’t have a personal encounter with you in person but I could beat my chest that I did meet you through JJ. No time we converse that she doesn’t talk about you and how you help her navigate situations which I also found invaluable.

You’re sorely missed.

The pain is still fresh in my heart.
blood drops from the piercing of the arrow.
Mr Ebuka, Mummy's voice still echoes.
In my ears, I hear her smile.
Why always the good ones, I ask?
But Mr Death always keeps his lips shut.
A year is already gone, yet I am yet to recover from the shock and pain.
Tell me when you fix the wedding date, she says.
Little did she know that the thief is waiting by the conner.
She came, saw and conquered.
She was the Law herself.
Thank God for the children she left behind.
Barr. Mrs. Wogu, you are my hero.
Your boy Kings is now an amazing fine man.
He rules the world.
Thank you for the life you lived.
Till we meet on the other side.
Sleep on.

I remember you always coming to visit Chichi and Oghoghome during visiting days in school and we'd share a table while gisting and laughing till it's time to leave.
Very fond memories I'd forever keep in heart.
Continue to rest at the bosom of the Lord.
Till we meet to part no more.
I'm sure the Angels are rejoicing right now at this day when you decided to come into this world 58 years ago.

Anty Florence is gone!! I am still trying hard to come to terms with the reality that you are no longer with us!! You have gone home to rest!
I met anty Florence about 28yrs ago through my best friend in Medical school Kome (anty Flo's younger sister) . I dare say that it was the first time I came across an epitome of a wife of noble character described in the Bible. She gave her all to her marriage . Talk about endurance, perseverance , commitment, love, dedication and much more...!! We will miss you dearly anty Flo. God knows best and we cannot question him. Sleep on big sis, rest in peace.

A tribute to our friend, sister, a STOG and a STAR – Ify Wogu

It was a Poet of ages past that declared, ‘Tell me not in mournful numbers, life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers and things are not what they seem.
He said ‘…. life is real! and life is earnest! but the grave is not its goal.’’

IFY, is it really true that you are gone? When are you coming back?, tell us, you are not gone, how can you go without a notice!!!
How can you go and leave your friends, sisters, fellow STOGS and STARs, we were family, brought together by the fate of STOGA and STARDOM which is a gift, we were truly chums.
You were smart, I respect you a lot; bold character, nice, cheerful, there was a life outside of STOGA and STARDOM for us, You were like a clown with all those long lectures you gave me but we were Buddys and always in contact.

I remember when we argue our life out on the STOGA EXCOS PAGE and sometimes privately on those diverse and many issues we well delve into, many times, we will be divided in views, you brought a very deep ethical, professional and procedural perspective into those arguments and I respected them a lot, we will be screaming on top of our voices like ‘what the hell is wrong with these people in this association, we did not notice anybody but the icing will eventually be broken and we were together jesting and making plans to move forward again hence you were able to make the constitution possible.

You were a lawyer but your in-depth knowledge of diverse field of study is what I have never seen before. I liked to listen to you in those discussions, you could flow so effortlessly, you could articulate so well, very intelligent but yet you were so friendly and not a show lady .
Oh! the law, the sisterhood has been broken and we can never never be the same without you.

I was thinking of you picking my calls and to hear you speak, let me know where they got the news that you are gone but I knew you were never to speak again.

Adieu! my mentor as you call yourself.
Adieu! The law as many call you
Adieu! IFY. I hope to see you again.

From the Mentee as you always call me.

Florenze as I fondly called you. I am writing these words from a broken heart with tears flowing endlessly to honour a great woman Florence Ogude my Sister, my friend, am struggling to think and refer to you in past tense. You recently sent me a photo we took in Abuja in 2018 and you also posted that last photo in our classmate Sisters forum. I guess that was a good bye to us hmmmmm.

Florence you had a kind heart and helped anyone who came in contact with you. You were such an intelligent, brilliant person with excellent memory who remembered past school events and names of school mates vividly 40 years on. You were a moving memory stick!!!

Florence you were a rare gem who built, edify and constructively put your opinion across without undermining people. You had a great passion for St Theresa's and worked tirelessly with so many sleepless nights to put together St Theresa's Constitution, officially registered STOGA and later STAR. Your impart is greatly felt to help the 'Girl Child', your dream for STAR to have an 'empire'- buy acres of land in Ughelli establish different trades to train/engage unemployed STARS.... I hope we can achieve some of these goals as an Association with time.

Florence you set the bar so high giving us many educational and legal talks and awareness on the STAR platform which earned you the name IFY LEGAL. We remember your relevance in all the STAR forum and the election fight to give the Presidential mandate to Dr Juliet Olabisi who won the election.

We miss you greatly. You fought a good fight. We love you but God allowed it.
Adieu Florence!!! Rest in the bosom of our Lord peacefully in Jesus Name Amen

A Tribute To Mrs Florence Wogu

It is true our hearts are heavy on account of your sudden and unexpected transition to glory but we take solace in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

You came for a purpose; you lived graciously and blessed all that came your path in ways that will never be forgotten.

You were a lover of God and His people. Your heart for God and commitment to His kingdom advancement went beyond denominational lines.

Your commitment to missions left many lives touched. You were not just a lawyer but a Christian lawyer. A rare and perfect blend of a beautiful soul; a calm and spirited woman of God.

You were a relentless leader, a compassionate Sister, a committed Kingdom builder, a faithful steward, a loving wife, and an extraordinary mum to many. 

We are blessed to have known you and are convinced that your labour of love has not been in vain.

Rest on till we meet again to depart no more. – On behalf of Bishop J.C & Rev (Mrs) A.A Okose & the entire family of Grace Evangel Mission Inc.

I knew of Mummy Mena from my friend, Menah when we were still students at Redeemer's High School. Working together as prefects helped me to know more about her. Anytime Menah talked about her, there was always a big smile on his face and he had so many memories and stories to talk about her even though we didn't talk about her much. I only met Arch. Wogu once during our graduation activities and never met her but she sent her greetings and love to me and wished me well.
Dear Ma,I know that you are and were an amazing woman because of how well you raised your son and how my father spoke very highly of you. He was so saddened by your demise that when I informed him, he solemnly said 'She was ever-smiling'. God bless you ma for living a blessed and impactful life. We love you dearly and are very sad to see you leave but we know you are in a better place.
My love goes to the wonderful family you left behind and my dear friend, Menah. May God continue to keep and protect the family you left behind. God bless you ma. We love you but God loves you more.

My mind went straight to the very night we held a meeting at the Maryland office of the Assemblies of God, Lagos District which holds some memories for me, as well as the ever infectious smile of Barrister Mrs Wogu the moment I heard of her demise.
She was the Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee of the Assemblies of God High School (Lagos-Ibadan Expressway) Parent-Teacher Association, to which I served as the secetary. The meeting had gone deep into the night and considering the distance and location, I was already agitated because of how I was going to return to the premises of the school where I lived. However, she made my return back home stress free with the support she personally gave without any demands from me. I am eternally grateful for her kind consideration.
Barrister Mrs Wogu was a wonderful and kind-hearted woman and I am happy for the opportunity to have met and worked with her. My heartfelt condolences goes to Arch. Wogu and my children and friends, Chichi, Mimi and Menah (My former head boy in Redeemer's High School). May God continue to comfort and strengthen all of you and your loved ones.
May her Gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Sleep well, madam.

I think one of the things I will miss about my Aunty Florence was her inquisitive nature and ability to make others laugh. Although I did not know her that well, I really admired her. She was a vibrant, beautiful, wholesome, and kind person. The type of person who would enjoyed the presence of others and enjoyed engaging in conversations with whoever she met. I was lucky enough to spend sometime with her and her family two years ago last summer and I am grateful for the experience. She will be forever missed❤️
