I was only few months at the Bar, confused and not so sure of this profession called Law, coupled with the fact I was getting negative vibes from some senior colleagues of how bad the law profession was.
On that fateful day at the magistrate court wuse zone 2 Abuja, my first time of appearing alone, sitting down waiting for the court to commence proceedings, Mrs Florence came in and sat next to me. I greeted her. Not quite long she tapped me to pass on a document, I obliged, subsequently she sent me on errands in between proceedings, I didn't hesitate to do them. Unknown to me God was making the ground smooth for a beautiful relationship with her.

During the proceedings, some lawyers started playing the seniority at the bar card. That was when Mrs Florence stood up in all humility in her, informed the court she was the oldest at bar but will allow the other lawyers continue for peace to reign. At that moment I was amazed and captivated by the virtues she displayed. Thereafter I felt this uneasiness, I needed to be friend her immidiately, I needed speak with her and build my esteem and confidence that it was not a mistake choosing this path.

My spirit kept talking to me, to get her contact, I summoned up courage and asked her of her contact that I will like to be her friend and that I was just called.
Mummy didn't hesitate to give me her complimentary card and also gave me her private line. I promised to call her.

Guess what she called me first instead few days later.. and invited me over. I went and I had the best moment in a long while with her, is it her vast experience or that in every sentence she makes she make sure she tells you about Jesus ,God I was relieved and happy at the same time. She opened her jar of kindness to me.
By the time I left her office, I changed her name on my phone to My Mentor..

Words are not just enough to write how she has looked out for me, advise me in every aspect of Life, is it about the profession, or about marriage or about God..

She loved God so much and I believe she is with him now..

To Mummy children, one thing I can tell you is that she loves you guys so much, she never fails to tell me about your progress and virtuous upbringing.. she is so proud of you..

I am so happy that I met her, and will forever be grateful to God, I wished you stayed longer to witness my happy days

I promise to always practice all I have learnt.

Good night my Mentor..

Madam Florence I was deeply shocked when I heard the news of your demise I pray the Almighty grants you eternal rest, comfort your husband, children, the entire family and us all.

Flo-Joe! That was my nickname for you.
Only I called you by that name. Born of your sweet smile and hearty laugh. Laughter that came from your heart. A good heart.
Flo-Joe, you are and will be forever missed. I am grateful to God Almighty for the opportunity to have met you.
May you forever Rest In Peace with God.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus" amen.
I've been in denial about this and I've been praying about it for a while, but the most painful part of my prayers is when I end every prayer I must end with "let your will be done", so I know it may not be changed. I still hope cause "with long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation", then a friend of mine reminded me that "for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain" so what if this is his will. But I'm still praying for I'll always pray until the last day for God never changes and he would always keep his words, his will would be done in life forevermore. Nevertheless which brings me back to the top "do not be anxious", for "it is the will of God for all things to be". Just as he created good he created evil, only God knows why all we can do is "not be anxious".
"When the sun goes down today doesn't end just as tomorrow never comes" I'll see you again auntie

You were always sweet and welcoming to everyone who stepped into your home. It was a huge shock to hear the news and words will never be able to describe the wholeness that you were as a person but we'll rest in the fact that you left a beautiful legacy behind. 3 fiercely strong, loving children that took all the best parts of you.
You will forever be in our hearts, till we meet again.

I am still very unsure how to put all the words together, but I will try.

I will never forget one of the very long phone calls I had with Ijey (I think this was 2yrs or so ago) when she told me about how she grew up. She said a lot about you that day and I listened and listened as she described this gift of a person God had given her as her mother.

So strong, so loving, so forgiving, so warm, so hardworking. Extremely hardworking. It was such a challenge! I still remember that day and everytime I saw Ijey or Menah post a family photo or a random 'Wogu clan' selfie, I remember that phone call.

It's amazing how you brought everyone together. Just days before your passing, that was so evident when Ijey shared screenshots from the video call you all had on Menah's birthday. The P U R E joy. It was so beautiful to see.

To the absolute wonder woman who raised Chichi, and Menah, and my dearest friend Ijey, and many many others - R E S T

  A TRIBUTE TO OUR DEAR SISTER AND FRIEND
BARR. FLORENCE IFEOMA UCHENDU-WOGU (NEE OGUDE)
The Executive Committee and entire members of the ICAN Abuja & District Society hereby commiserate with you and children; and also the Ogude family of Emevor, Ughelli in Delta State represented by our 56th President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Dame (Mrs) Onome Joy Adewuyi,FCA over the passing unto glory of your beloved wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend; Barr. (Mrs.) Florence Ifeoma Uchendu-Wogu.
It was well, so we thought, then out of the blues came the news. It was shocking, devastating and unbelievable but we are always reminded of this transition that precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. Psalms 116:15.
It is panful to loose such a caring, loving and adoring wife, mother, daughter and sister but the Lord knows better and does things that are beyond our knowledge but to the benefit of the saints. We therefore believe that the Lord took her into his bosom in order to preserve her in eternity.
She will surely be missed and remembered forever especially by many of us who knew her. She was such a sweet, gentle, caring and loving mother, humble and hospitable wife. We mourn greatly this distinguished Legal Practitioner par excellence. A woman who combined brains with personal grace. She was elegant in every way and had courtesy and concerns for others.
In this wise, kindly accept our heartfelt condolence and sympathy for the glorious home calling of your dear wife, mother and sister.
We pray that God Almighty will give you and family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss and that we shall all meet at the feet of Jesus on the last day. As Christians, we take solace in the words of the scriptures in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 and 5:18. We therefore give God thanks for a life well spent and for the legacies she left behind.
Our hearts and prayers go to you, the children and entire family. We pray that God will uphold and strengthen you all.

Mrs. Bosede F. Ikhanoba,FCA Pastor Olumuyiwa y. Oyeniyi,FCA

Sail on Angel Star
Shall we hence stay dour?
And keep our tongues so sour?
In that there’s no pow’r
For the great Iroko
Straight outta ‘soko
 
Mystically tall to the sky
Is also a STAR
Being without a scar
The might of the thief
Like the brush of a leaf
Is but a weak brief
 
The Gazer now swifter
Through calm water
And rolling hills
Of azure and orange
And clouds with silver fringe
All burst into song
Welcome new ange’
Heaven’s about to change!
 
Star Julie Sobotie Olabisi

I did not  meet  Ify Wogu in person before  her demise. She was one of us in the STAR PLATFORM,  (ST. THERESA'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL UGHELLI OLD GIRLS ASSOCIATION ), she was very  visible on the PLATFORM. Ify was one of the shakers  and movers  of  the  Association, she was always  ready  to contribute meaningfully  when  it comes for decision  making. She exhibited  a very  high  sense  of humour and intelligence. The PLATFORM  will  surely miss her. 

MAY HER  SOUL AND THE SOULS OF ALL THE FAITHFUL  DEPARTED  REST  IN PEACE.

MAY GOD CONSOLE THE  FAMILY SHE LEFT  BEHIND. ADIEU  IFY THE 'SAN'

Star Blessing Omokoro

A tribute to an Iroko.
Dear star Ify legal as you were fondly referred to in the galaxy of stars,
Your sudden death made me realise the brevity of life.
You were a great soul.
A great soul serves everyone... And that you did
A great soul never dies.. yes you live on in our hearts.
Your sudden death brought us sadness.
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.
Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots.
Star Ify legal!!the Iroko herself!!! Your roots are firmly rooted by virtue of the legacy you left behind.

Sleep on Sister star

Star Ebokah Urinrin

Ify  the outspoken Star. She was always the peacemaker and she had a way with words that could pacify a heart filled with turbulent storms. Loved as a wise woman, a mother and sister. You'll be sorely missed my sister. Jovial and Knowledgeable and upright and trustworthy. 

Sleep with the stars dear woman.

Uzezi Abugo Utomakili

It is with deep sadness that I write this tribute. Even though I never met you, I feel like I know you well. Your posts on the Star platform were beneficial to everyone. I know I will miss them. As they say, God knows best, but I still wish you did not have to go so soon.
Rest in peace dear Aunty Ify. Your family is in our prayers.

Star Oghenekevwe Efekemo

One thing that has thrown me off balance in the year 2020 is the death of mummy Ify. I never met her in person but I must say her death is quite a rude shock. God have mercy on mankind. To live in the heart of those who love you is not to die. Adieu Ma. Missing you already.

Tribute to a friend a mentor and an Educationist .

STAR as we are called ST.THERESA’S ALUMNI RYZING has lost a rare Gem. Florence is admired and will be missed globally for her outstanding intellect and academic achievements. From our days in St.Theresa’s Florence was my senior. She did not stop to guide me. I thought we were now grown ups when I met her in old girls forum. No more guidance but on our platform, Florence continued her mentorship. She engaged me in a long discussion to caution me as the Publicity Secretary to show some respect ,in her words "be careful we have elders here who left St.Theresa’s the year you were born“ Her friendship gave me confidence to lead as Publicity Secretary .Florence was a gifted and creative writer. She spent so much time writing and posting important information, necessary to assist and encourage STARs, colleagues and family in their ventures. I remember my last conversation with Florence July 26th,2020 ,though she was down, she specifically asked after a Committee I Coordinate STAR Gazers, Publicity sub Committee and she promised to come back with full attention to make some improvement on the Committee. We finally prayed together to end the conversation. Unfortunately she could not recover. I know her spirit lives on, STAR Gazers will grow stronger. STAR will forever remember Florence, Ify's legacies as an educator. Farewell STAR IFY. ,Florence Wogu nee Ogude. May your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Star Maureen Enayemone OfugaraSTAR Publicity Secretary

She had the dream of forming an old girls’ association back then as she had a kindred spirit and enjoyed been with her secondary school mates. She looked for me to be her chief bridesmaid when she married the love of her life Uche but I was not available. She forgave me . That’s Florence for you. She had no iota of malice in her . We visited each other and cried together when we became parents. She taught me how to make fresh fish stew, we shared our dreams with each other. Distance played a role in our relationship, but we still kept in touch. Florence was sunshine. She lit up the room with her infectious laughter. She understood what it meant to be a friend. She nurtured her relationships and was a friend indeed. She sent a photograph ( about two weeks before she passed) to our class forum when we were concerned, she was silent on the forum. Little did we know it will be the last. She looked cool and we were all happy to see her cheerful face. Then the news that she had passed! Just like that. I was dumb and numb. I could not comprehend it and still cannot. What!. But that’s life which is short, and we don’t know who is next. My twin sister, I salute your tenacity, your resolve to excel and you left a legacy of excellence. I salute your commitment and dedication to your husband , children and immediate family. You loved your siblings and understood your biblical role as a wife , mother and in law within the Nigerian context . You have gone to a better place my darling twin sister. You have finished your race which you ran well. There is nothing more for you to do on this side of life. The finality of death is cruel, but we must accept it as our creator who gives the final say. Adieu my twin sister Florence Ifeoma Wogu.

Tribute to my twin sister Florence Wogu

Florence and I met as young children in St Theresa’s Grammar School Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria in September 1974. We were both starting secondary school. We were both very tiny, sharp , confident and outspoken hence the title “twin sister” . We gravitated toward each other. Florence was ( hard to refer to her in past tense) very intelligent, respectful and committed to any cause she believed in. She was very analytical, thoughtful and ever smiling . She would debate any topic intelligently holding her head high with respect. She was deputy head girl. We spent five years together in secondary school and parted ways to meet again at the University of Benin where once again because of our common interest, we studied Law. We were both enrolled as solicitors on the same day in November 1988.In all if this , my twin sister and I were still very thin and confident in our skins.
My darling sis Florence could not be intimidated by anyone. She held her own showing respect to those who have earned it. She did not care whose ox was gored. She spoke the truth as she saw it. After graduation and youth service, we found ourselves in Lagos trying to build our legal careers . This sister of mine loved law passionately. One woman who worked hard for everything she got in life. Nothing was handed to her on a platter of Gold. No , she simply worked hard and was very focused. We maintained our relationship by visiting each other .

Star Roberta Avwerosuo-Adeda

My dear sister Florence words cannot express my feelings about you. Friendship is one of the treasures of life that I sincerely found in you ❤ In my toughest times growing up, you were there for me with words of advice, encouragement and even when you got your job as small as your salary was then you shared it with me. As I am writing , my eyes are full tears. . Your kind of true friend is hard to find but they offer a friendship that will last a lifetime. The pain caused by a friendship marred by betrayal is not easy to overcome. My hardest part of this relationship is when its time to say goodbye. I am still in denial, angered. The body may have run its course , but the soul lives forever. We as humans, have been cognizant of eternal life since the beginning of time. The anxiety that is commonly felt about death in our community is a result of a scientific schema which says that if I don't see it, it's not there ". Florence  those words you gave me have led me on . Like You rightly call me Kpoturi, we nor go stop ooh always dragging me along to study for JAMB exams, you taught me how to critically analyse even before we went to University. My close confidant , your children will be mine , as you have always said God continue to bless your good kind soul. To lose a friend and sister like you is hard

Star Vivian Okumagba

My dear Florence, Writing this tribute to you has been a very difficult task. I have not woken up from my dream, the excitement of hearing from you after many years of losing contact since our days at St Theresa’s did not last ……… We talked about your mum, sister, CY and Urhobo Road. I asked if you could take me to your mum anytime you visit Warri, and your answer was yes!!! Florence, my intelligent smart lady Ogude-Wogu. Death did not let me see your face again. I remember I always thank God for your parents who believed in the “girl child education”, your smartness would have died in the market of Nigeria as it happened to many of our mates. Your beloved STAR sisters are missing you already. Well, I am consoled in the fact that you are resting in the Lord. Adieu, my beloved!!!

Star Edirin Okoro-Sikprako

Florence was my junior at St. Theresa’s. I clearly remembered her name and face when I met her again after a long time at the Old Girls’ forum. I was highly impressed by her activism and intellectual writing skills. Florence was active, energetic and continuously provided us with very rich and factual information that cut across all spheres of life. She always stood up for what was right and was not easily intimidated. We miss Florence dearly, her intellectual postings and activism on the STAR forum will be indelible.

Rest in heaven our Ify Legal!!!

Star Ayo Akatugba

My Dear STAR Florence Ify Wogu, it's with a heavy heart that l write. It was devasting to hear about your passing and to come to terms that you are no longer with us. You're a tremendous loss to us all. Your energetic, intelligent, hard working, journalistic, lovely, respectful, graceful, patient, kind and forgiving personality were a gift to STAR and all those that knew you.
You will be immensely missed but we'll forever cherish your memories in our hearts.

Adieu our beloved Florence lfy Wogu. May your gentle soul rest in peace.

Star Kate Kakpovbia

My Lawyer,my friend my senior Sis.Flo

I am comforted by the fact that you are with the Lord.
Your memories are so so dear to me.they are beautiful from your advice to your smile and care.

Sleep on D Law..Sis Florence Wogu.
Till we meet to part no more.

Onyinye Obafemi

It is still a shock you're gone my big sister, Aunty Florence, Lolo1, Floricoco, The Barrister. You were a very close friend, a confidant , a counsellor a business partner and many more rolled into one person. 
Your laughters were infectious , your smiles were genuine and reassuring and never was there a dull moment with you. You cared about everything concerning everyone, you were a peace maker, a bridge builder. Your doors were open to everyone without discrimination and you treated everyone with the same love and care like a mother does to her children. A good soul, an angel on earth you were.

You seized every opportunity to introduce me to your contacts and requested they patronise my business. You stood by me through thick and thin, you shared in my joy and in my pains, in my challenges and in my successes. You prayed for me at every turn and always told me how much you believed in me. Your faith in me fired up my faith in me and gave the electric to light up my path through dark and turbulent times.

I will miss you, we will all miss you.

Aunty Florence, God bless your soul and grant you eternal rest in his bossom, perpetual light will forever shine upon you. Rest in peace. Amen.

Mummy wogu was truly and inspiration and mother like figure in my secondary school days. She would be deeply missed. Fly high ma.

Tribute Florence Wogu.
It seems like only yesterday when I came to visit you in Abuja with my daughter and now you’ve gone away.... may the Lord be kind and merciful on your soul and grant you entrance to best part of heaven. My most treasured memory of you was the first day I met you and I still thank God for that blessed day. It was in Sister Onome’s house in Dolphin estate When you arrived and I came to say hello ... from the moment I confirmed I was Koge’s wife it was happiness and smiles from then on. You started by praising my husband and saying how you proudly showed him off as your cousin whilst at university. Then you moved on to your in-laws and told me what a remarkable beautiful woman your mother in law was. The story moved on to the lovely times you had with your husband and in-laws in Umuahia. Wow what a wonderful woman I thought not a bad word to say about everyone you spoke off.
From that day on every time we met was better . I looked forward to your melodious voice that rang out like the church bells full of laughter and joy. Adieu! my Sister there could never be another as beautiful as you inside and out .
Mrs Kemi-Koge Ogedegbe

Has Gone to Bed, For Everlasting LEAVE ..... Hmmmmm!
"A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven; I will never forget her kindness, based on the few days spent together.
May God give you eternal rest".
Sleep Well o o o o MUM

Mummy Wogu was the first lawyer I met in my life. I can vividly remember her visiting AGHS for the career day and talking about the law profession. She was indeed an inspiration to many.

You will greatly missed, ma.

- [x] My first proper encounter with Florence was about 1983 when she came to university of Benin as a law undergraduate. Prior to that I spent some holidays with my great aunt (big mama) and my cousins in Warri and remember vividly walking back from the motor park been accompanied by Florence to my great aunt’s house. That was our first informal encounter and the journey was spent chatting away like we long lost friends. Whilst at the University Florence and I attended several parties and social events. She was bubbly, lively and extremely exuberant always a pleasure to be with. Always had something funny to say with her characteristic wry smile, was kindhearted and generous. She will be sadly missed not just by her immediate family but also the extended family and numerous friends. I pray that we have the fortitude to live out this huge loss and may her gentle soul rest in peace amen.
Koge Ogedegbe cousin and friend

You will forever be missed. I wish i got to see you when i had that opportunity to (This really hurts me). My heart feels very heavy. You will forever be remembered.

Adieu Legal Luminary.

Farewell Barrister Wogu!

A tribute to a beautiful soul. I remember vividly how she assisted me with my first ever land transaction in Lagos, she followed up and ensured that I got a valid government land title. A loving and cheerful mother to her kids and all who looked up to her. A true GEM indeed. It's so sad that she is gone at the prime of her life.
May God grant the family strength to bear this loss and may your gentle soul rest in peace. Amen!

I met you few times during your life time, those moments were worth spending with you.
You taught me a lot of things in the legal profession and life generally.
I learnt from your experience and I value every advice from a great mentor like you.
We had a long way to go but you had to heed to heaven's call.
Precious in the sight of God is the death of His saint, by this we are consoled that you've gone to be with your Maker.
May God give your family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Rest in peace!

Barrister Ifeoma Wogu was a neighbor I enjoyed being with. She was never too busy to receive me and there was never a dull moment with her... so full of life and love which she infused into her amazing children. It’s such a delight that she was a child of God and now resting in the bosom of her Savior.
Only Jehovah can answer all our questions.
Sun ree o!

THE GENTLE NEIGHBOUR
It is hard to believe you are no more.
What has befallen us can not be questioned.
We will take solace in God Almighty.
You were a perfect and gentle neighbour and
I remember the many times we exchanged pleasantries on the staircase, you were always so gentle and kind in your response.
May you continue to rest in peace and we the "Enugu Court" family will surely miss you.
Rest Well

Dearest aunty,
This loss is huge and deep
It’s very painful
Painful because we always thought we had time
I was looking forward to seeing you again when you come to church
To invite you for an upcoming event
To see you dance around in joy in your usual manner
The way you came through when I turned 16
We really did think we had time
We love you aunty and
We are grateful to God for the life you lived
Fervently serving the Lord and bringing glory to His name.
We all miss you
we thought we had time.
We love you and we trust that you’re resting ... till we meet again, aunty.

Sister Wogu,

Can somebody wake me up from this nightmare? I just got this news today when I called one of our mutual friends in Nigeria and he told me that Sis. Wogu passed on. This again reminds me that the end is nearer that we can imagine. Sis. Wogu was one straight forward and sincere big sister that I loved having discussions with when I was in Nigeria. She had no Sunday life and Monday life. Sister Wogu was the same all the days of the week. We will miss Sis. Wogu but, I know it is better to be absent from the body and be present with the Lord. I pray that, the God of all comfort will fill every vacuum that her demise might have caused. Goodnight beloved sister and see you in the ressurection morning.

Florence Ifeoma Wogu (Née OGUDE) our darling Coordinator, my sister, learned senior colleague, true friend and confidant! Still so unbelievable! May your beautiful, precious soul rest peacefully in the bosom of the LORD. You finished well, you touched many lives with your love, care, smiles, selfless services and sacrifices for humanity. I met you at Ambrose Alli University (AAU) in 1985, later met in Festac Town during the holidays and have since been friends. You’re such an amiable friend, you always got my back. You stood firmly by me through the turbulent times in African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA), Nigeria, especially at the registration stage and at the national growth stage. You’re our Mamarazzi, making every moment memorable. A great and intelligent advocate and defender of the defenseless, every case referred to you, you handled and delivered with good results. Even during your health challenges, you still didn’t stop working for humanity. You’re such a sweetheart, a sweet soul, an Angel! Angels don’t die! You’ll forever live in our hearts!!! Adieu Flo!!!
May the Almighty God grant your family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, protect and bless them all especially your lovely children and darling husband.

Very few people genuinely and wholeheartedly care for people with no real blood ties to them yet mummy showed up for me, time and time again, as though I were her child. She would spare her last change to ensure everyone around her, at any given time felt loved and cared for.

Mummy, it's been weeks since your passing and while I still can't bring myself to believe that you've transcended into the ethereal realm of God's presence, I will forever remain grateful for the life you led and the lessons I had the opportunity to learn first-hand from you. I will continue to make you proud. Continue to rest in God's presence until we meet again on the resurrection day.

Mummy Uchechi as I know her, I met her only once. She welcomed me in like a son even though I was a stranger. She wears this peaceful smile on her face like she never gets angry. I am sad by this but I am glad she is with the Lord and we will see her again never to part. My sincere condolences goes to the Wogu's family.

Aunty Lawyer.

Of all your nicknames, I loved this the most. I only met you once in person but with all I had heard Ijeoma say about you, I knew you were a special woman. A woman of true virtue. You inspired me even without seeing you. Thank you for raising wonderful children, I know they will make you proud.
Aunty Lawyer, you lived a fulfilled life. We are consoled because we know you are with Jesus.

I did not know you personally but I can say that by your fruits Ijeoma & Mena you were an amazing mother. I remember Ijeoma writing down your ogwo soup recipe for me in secondary school so many years ago now and telling us wonderful tales about her mum. Thank you for being a part of our lives, until we meet again.
