Leave a tributeYour desire to unify and make everyone around you happy was a virtue and a memory i will forever hold dearly in my heart.Rest in Peace my brother.Love you always!
Elinge, if tears, if prayers, if hoping and praying and wishing from the depth of the heart could make you stay, you would have. A part of me is heartbroken because you are no longer there, but another part remembers that sometimes God answers our prayers in ways we do not expect.
Rest in peace, bro.
Your death brings to mind the brevity of life! Just when we expected you to enjoy the fruit of your hard work, you bow out of the stage! You never lost hope! Ambitious until your last breath! Where, O death is your sting? Where, O death is your victory? (1 Corinthians 15:15)
You left without getting to meet your gorgeous grandson! How do I explain to him what happened? Will Eyole and Adira ever understand all of this? A blow to posterity!
Our only consolation is that you are now resting at the bosom of our Lord.
Adieu Elinge! Farewell!
My prayers to the family and friends you left behind for God's guidance and support during this difficult times.
RIP Elinge.
News of your death on the 27th of December 2014 took me by ambush. The last time I was at home, we both acknowledged that you had gone through the worst phase of your illness. Thus, I was in shock when your Wife; my sister told me that “Uncle Balla Elinge don die”.
I came to know you as a brother in-law but my relationship with you grew in leaps and bounds and the friendship and bond became stronger each passing day. It went beyond that of brother in-law and was more of friend and brother. You call me Mr. B or Booh and I also call you Booh. It was a relationship based on genuine friendship and mutual respect for each other. Small wonder that in spite of your illness, whenever you felt better, you will always find time to check on me at home. This even led to a friend asking me that Balla “ why Elinge di ever visit you so eeeh like say ie no va finish pay bride price” And I responded that “nah because nah my “person”. And you were truly ma person. I remember your wife telling me “Elinge nah really your person”.
I was always amazed with your vision and your plans and projects for the future. You were a classic example of a visionary and an ambitious young man. Alas! Death the bad reaper cut short all those plans and projects. You were a gentleman per excellence and a very honest young man in an age wherein dishonesty is the order of the day.
Booh! You were selfless and always willing and ready to help. Even on your sick bed, you still religiously kept to your principles. Booh, you had a heart of gold. I vividly recall a conversation in my house with you and Bobby less than a month before your sudden departure. Bobby was leaving for Mamfe to see Papa and you said, “abeg take this money gie me Papa”. Bobby was like Julie, “You don di sick all this while and you no di work, try keep that money’ and you responded “Ma try send Papa small thing sef”. How many of us in that your situation would even have thought of that? I knew you were selfless but Booh that was the apogee of self-abnegation. That experience left an indelible mark in my mind. My respect for you increased a million times. Booh! You were great at heart.
I will tremendously miss your management skills and constant advise. Thanks to your management skills and your supervision in my absence, we completed the construction of the office. I will forever be indebted to you.
You are (Yes I said it) the best husband that a brother could ever wish for her sister and by parity of reasoning the best brother in- law. Papa is still crying as he will miss his favorite son in-law. The entire Nkongho Brown family will miss you and I will MISS MY PERSON. I know how much you love your family and how much support you gave to your family. You can be rest assured that The Nkongho Brown family shall be there to provide the necessary support to the family you are leaving behind in general and in particular to your wife and kids; Eyole and Adi.
Rest in Peace my In-law, Adieu my friend and bye! bye! my junior brother.
Agbor Balla aka Mr. B
