Aunty Hauwa Kadima, today is a very special day and should have been a very special day because not just Nigeria our earthly home celebrates another year of independence but most especially is the day we remember you were born into this world and country.
Today would have been your 62 years birthday but you were taken away from us sooner.
We mourn and miss your absence in our lives but we also celebrate you in so many ways. Thank God for the years and time he has given you especially to fulfill/accomplish his work and purpose/will for your life, for which you have done and accomplished whole heartedly and faithfully. You fought the good fight, finished the course, kept the faith and now you have received the crown of righteousness which the Lord has awarded you. Time for you to rest in peace sitting with our Almighty Father Jesus Christ. We would always miss and love you but we also will always celebrate and thank God for your life, thank God for the gift of not only having you in our lives but also the many gifts you have given us in so many ways.
Happy Birthday and Forever missed.

Many tried and rejected your stand on issue of life. But for those who know you, agreed to stand by you even to the day of your departure:it is only God who will JUDGE.....RIP.....Rev Paris lumba

I did not meet you in person,but your pictures,your works and the stories told of you by my mama(Prof. Kwem Kadima),who is also your daughter and sister are all I hold on to.Your memory is planted in my heart.You will always be remembered.Rest from all the troubles of this world and continue to sing the songs of Hallelujah in Heaven!

Another committed and true soldier who died at her post in the Ministry Of Motherhood and Mentoring(MOM) but is alive in heaven resting with her savior Jesus Christ that she loved and served on earth. We will surely understand the mystery better bye and bye. I remain loyal to and shine for the same Master we sang of, prayed to and served during those cherished years.

My Dear Sister, Colleague and Friend. We lost touch a few years back and I was very happy when my son told me you were now with Danny and doing well. The news of your death and the way you died was shocking and sad. One thing I know is that all the misery, sadness and lost you suffered are all gone. Now it is everlasting joy and happiness with the saints at the feet of Jesus. Rest in the bosom of The Lord till we come.

When peace, like a river, attendeth our way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever our lot, Thou has taught us to say,
It is well, it is well, with our soul.

It is well, with our soul,
It is well, with our soul,
It is well, it is well, with our soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded our helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for our soul.

our sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
our sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and we bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O our soul!

For us, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above us shall roll,
No pang shall be ours, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to our soul.

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!


And Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with our soul.



  

2 Timothy 4:7, i for u Aunt Hauwa, you have finished your fight and u only need the greatest reward anyone can't even imagine, u are one person am absolutely sure deserves it even more. So just sit with the Lord and enjoy ur time of suffering is over. As the days got closer to today I alas prayed and wished someone will call and tell me is a misunderstanding and I just wish I could only see ur face once more. The idea that u won't be here anymore is really difficult to imagine. I only hope u know how much u had an impact in my life and just can't keep thinking at u especially days like today and till u are laid to rest. But I know we just need to pick up where you left and continue ur work. I only wish I could talk to u one more time. But I know compared to were u are u are far better than been here with us. Love and always in our hearts >3

I will miss your gentle and sweet smile. I remember your soft spoken voice and winning ways. I also know that you made it and we shall meet again. Rest is your reward for you suffered much, but our Lord kept his promise and you are at peace. Rest, Hauwa, rest.

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk up rightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. Isaiah 57: 1-2
Rest in the peaceful arms of Jesus my sister in Christ. May all the seeds you planted be nourished by The Lord and bring him a glorious harvest in the season. Thank you for your faithful work and the seed you left in my heart. I love you.

A hero to the entire land of Ninkyob. However to die completely is to be forgotten....... but he who is not forgotten is not dead. Rest in perfect peace with the Lord, till we meet to path no more.

On behalf of Z.B. Gaiya family Anty Hauwa heaven is richer and earth poorer. We can only imagine the celebration in heaven as the Lord welcomed one of HIS Generals home. You were a letter written by God's own hands to us all. You have proven that with God, there is no mountain in this life that one cannot scale. Rest on aunty till we all meet on that glorious morning.

It has been my pleasure to work with 1000's of Homeless, Displaced and Marginalized friends at Jesus ShadeTree (Jesus Burger) in Longview and beyond over the years. I love them, everyone. Most, like the rest of us, elevate their special needs above all else... then 0ne day I met the Humble Hauwa Kadima beneath that grand old Tree...

You became my Teacher Hauwa...

"So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last."
                          Matthew 20:16

You taught us this lifestyle with your hands and your heart Dear Sister. In the days I have known you, I never heard of your own needs but only of others, including your Dear Daniel. We cry out with you for his soul today my Sister.

Your HOPE was for the people of your Nigerian Village destroyed by the Boko Haram. You have collected countless boxes of clothes to be shipped to your hurting home. Sister, HAUWAS HOPE lives in Jesus name!!!

Our beloved Dr. Kadima, Our hearts mourn your loss. Your gentle spirit, love for the Lord, and tireless service to others will continue to inspire us. We will always remember what a graceful servant of God and excellent academic you were. May your blessed soul rest in peace.

Words fail me at this time.She was a mother,friend,ministry partner and a woman after God's heart.
All i ask for is God's comfort for all of us.
You will be greatly missed.

MAJESTY! GLORIOUS MAJESTY!!

I don't know when the tears and pain will stop. Death the hidden mystery stares at us unexpectedly and unknowingly in the times of life. This cruelty of your death will NEVER, NEVER make us doubt the LOVE of our GOD IN CHRIST. This DARK CLOUD MUST GIVE WAY TO A BRIGHT SUNSHINE. Your blood will speak like the blood of ABEL. I cry daily with absolute assurance that soon the PEACE of GOD which surpasses all understanding in CHRIST JESUS will abide us and you till we meet at Jesus Feet.
GOOD NIGHT SWEET ANGEL.

Your Elder Brother.

Pof Kadima. Friends and familiars mimic me most times when I speak because I took after you in my pronunciations, emphasis and mannerism. I still remember when I came visiting in the university of Jos where I graduated some five years after when you insisted I must address the students as a one time best student in your class. Very funny in her characteristics she summon the students to the lecture hall; just for me to address them. So honored I was that day and has always lingered in my memory.

Rest in PEACE Aunty.

May your gentle soul rest in peace Ma. If tears could build a stair way & memories a lane, we will walk right up to heaven & bring them again to us.

Hauwa Esther Kadima though you are gone but you will be remembered
for your contribution and love for education in Bakin Kogi. Your School (Kadima Memorial Nursery and Primary School) will continue to be the light that will shine over Bakin Kogi Community and Kaninkon Chiefdom as a whole.Education they said is light may this light you left behind contuie to shine.Rest in Peace

TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF HAUWA ESTHER KADIMA-MY DEAR NIECE-
That Hauwa Kadima the name given to her since her youth-her dead is one of those sad events and huge loss not only to the Kadima's family, Digem Clan but to the Kaninkon(Nikyob) community as a whole.
Hauwa was born in the Kadima's family of Digem Clan of Bakin Kogi of Kaninkon Chiefdom of Jema'a Local Government of Kaduna State Nigeria. During her schooling: Primary school in Kaninkon, Teachers College Kagoro and Igbaja Seminary. She was a shining light in both Academic and exemplary character.
 The Bakin Kogi Community of Kaninkon Chiefdom will remember her for Community development and especially for establishing the Kadima Memorial Nursery and Primary School which is of great educational contribution to the Community. The Kaninkon people will never forget her efforts to translate the Bible in Nikyob i.e the kaninkon dialect. We miss her very much for not seeing this project through.
   That such a nice gentle and peaceful person should die brutally is sad. On behalf of the Kaninkon Chiefdom and People, we pray for the repose of her gentle soul and thank God for giving us such a daughter-Rest in the bosom of the Lord.

I light this candle for you because I am sure that you were a great person and human being! I met you at work and you were one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. You were so kind! You didn't deserve this! But I know that now you are in a better place! May you rest in peace my sweet sweet angel! :'(

We thank God for the good testimony that our sister has left behind. We are comforted with the fact that she is with the Lord. May the Almighty God sustain her family and all friends. May they be comforted by the Holy Spirit. On behalf of ECWA USA, I wish the family God's grace and peace.

The last I see you was 19 years ago and have been with your translated book, English to Kaninkon (Ninkyop). Am sad at the moment cause I thought am gonna meet you again to feel your God giving wide knowledge but this sad news today have mess every chance to meet here again. Dr Hauwa,you were a God gift to Kaninkon people...Rest on mum!

Hauwa,
   Our meeting in Longview Texas in May this year was full of memories. I saw hapiness, fulfilment and love through your laughters. You brought me gifts, took me out for lunch and sight seeing (with Dan). How can i forget this? The plans you had for the internally displaced persons in our country due to the Boko Haram attacks.
  The NGO you asked me to work on and see that it is registered. You worked so hard to be a (PHd) holder, the only one in our set of 1971 teachers' college Kagoro, Nigeria. Your demise was a shock to all of us especially the circumstances. RIP Hauwa, till we meet again. Your legacy will forever remain.

In the middle of July, I had the honor to speak with Hauwa about her recent trip to Dallas and her work with the SEED Company and SIL. She was overjoyed to learn that the Gospel of Luke had finally been translated into her mother tongue (Ninkyop) because of the work that she had dedicated her life towards. 
The Lord allowed her to see some of her work fulfilled. We are thankful for that.
Even though Hauwa is not with us anymore, her work will live on and continue to impact others. I encourage everyone to look at some of her publications to understand a little bit more about the eternal impact she made (http://www.rogerblench.info/Language/Niger-Congo/BC/Plateau/Ninzic/Ninkyop/Ninkyop%20wordlist.pdf).

Sister Hauwa, we cannot ask question why. We have to accept, though with heavy heart and still lingering "why question" in our mind, the fact that it is the Lord that gives, and when He decides to take away, we can only say with Job, "Blessed be the name of the Lord".

The consolation is that you have left a strong legacy, admirable testimony, and an assurance of our meeting at Christ's feet where all heartaches, tears and tragedies will be no more. Rest in the bosom of your Lord Jesus.

--Josiah, ECWA Atlanta

You will be fondly remembered for the love you showed to those around you and the fervent devotion to Jesus. You were generous, kind and very selfless. You loved prayer and singing. You were never ashamed of testifying to the truth. You were very humble. You will always be remembered dearest mummy Hauwa.

I woke up this morning praying and hoping that I only had a dream and heard u were gone,it will take time to really realize u are not physically around anymore. I may not have known u as long as many did but the amount of time I got to know u especially when u came to spend Christmas with us in California. All days we spent ,d talks we heard, laughed, encouragements, lessons u thot me, u r Faith in God are all d precious memories I will forever hold on to and very grateful for that. Even in pain, u r Faith and trust in God was always growing stronger something I truly learnt from u and feel I shared a little or had in common with u but not as much Faith has u had but growing in my own faith. U were so good at paying attention to and listening to every thing no matter hw small or silly it sounded, we talked abt everything within d short time u spent us everyday,I remember u asking Who are d Kardashians, we had a good laugh talking abt them and other stories,I always enjoyed talking to u, anyone who met or knew u just needed a few minutes with u to learn and fill pages descriping or writing what lessons were learnt from u . I will always regret not keeping in touch for sometime but always remembered u anytime I saw or looked at d Christmas gift u gave me. We truly will miss u, i remember when i think u had to leave and go visit a friend and come back and we all took u to d train station all d way to d tracks till u got on d train but d first time we realize all ur form of ID was in Texas with Dani and we had him email or fax a copy and some explaining to do before u could leave.really u were an extraordinary woman of God and am so grateful to have known you, u not only loved d Lord but u made sure u shared it with everyone and everyone who knew u or saw u saw d light of God and Faith and ur Love for God, u walked,talked shared and showed the love of Jesus Christ. No amount of tears, saddness can ecpress how much we love and will miss u. We may never understand why ,hw or d painful way u had to leave but I know without a doubt that u are in peace and sitting with our Lord Jesus Christ. No goodbye for now but see u soon again. I truly love and miss u and have learnt from u and i am realizing more to cherish every second and save even voice mails from everyone. I am forever grateful and loved you or who u are, d gifts u gave me in many ways even just by listening and pray that I can be at least half d woman u were. R.I.P and see u soon . Forever in our hearts aunt,mother ,sister ,friend,Dr, teacher and great mentor Hauwakadima.

God gave Hauwa a smile that could brighten up any room. He gave her a heart that gave and gave to everyone she ever met. She was a woman of grace, humility, and unrelenting trust in God. She was a prayer warrior of such depth. I was blessed to call her a sister in Christ. Her passing from this world to her heavenly home leaves an empty part in our souls. As an authentic follower of Jesus Christ, she died loving the very one who took her life. She and I became very close over the past year. She grieved so much for her country of Nigeria and the horrors of the raids by the Boko Haram; she was constantly wanting to help the innocents. Praise God for this beautiful and giving woman.
