It’s been seven years without your physical presence but I’m certain that you are with me always. At this time, words fail me. I’m thankful. I’m grateful. Thank you papa. Continue to rest easy.
Love always and forever!

Happy posthumous birthday Dad! I’m so lost for words, a lot has happened and I worry there’s so much more to contend with. Your presence would have made so much difference. Nonetheless I’m very grateful for all I had to experience, learn from you.
I feel you more as I get older, my prayer is that I hold on to the values and to never forget whose daughter I am because you live on!
Thank you Daddy! Continue to Rest In Peace!

Diokpa, we would have been celebrating your birthday today but for the call of the Creator who had other purposes for your life. You left behind a brood that has kept your name immortal and we will continue celebrating you year in year out. Continue to Rest In Peace diokpa until we all join you in our due times. Happy posthumous birthday.

Life, if well lived is long enough. Papa, you lived good. You did good. You did the best of your ability. You left us with good memories. Good teachings. Good lessons. You talked the talk. You also walked the walk. Your life was in harmony because you lived your beliefs. Papa, people talk about mentors these days. Mostly on how to be successful in the eyes of man, hardly is it about integrity, morality or spirituality. If I knew I didn’t have all the time in the world with you, I would have paid more attention or doubled up on somethings with you. I am glad for all the times together. There’s no better gift than the gift of having you as my papa! All that I am is from you. I pray to make you proud! And be proudly called your daughter!
Six years gone but forever to go.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sleep easy papa! Continue to watch over us with the host of angels as we are not in the best of times.
Rest In Peace Papa!
Rest in power Papa!
Rest in love Papa!

Happy posthumous birthday Papa. If wishes were horses, it will be a different world. Word fail me in trying to say or describe what and who you are, what your absence means. Am consoled knowing that you are in a better place and with the angels watching over us. I celebrate you today and forever Papa. Rest in love Papa

Miss you papa... So much is going on and I miss so much your counsel. continue to rest in the bosom of our lord.

You left us to a better place five years ago to continue what you are good at doing. Guiding, interceding and watching over us. Thank you papa! I miss you but am thankful to have you watch over me and for all that you are. An additional and familiar angel watching over me.
Always and forever! ‍❤️❤️❤️

Happy posthumous birthday pops. Death only took your physical presence away but it can never take away the special bond and memories that I sometimes wish I could relive but it’s comforting knowing that you are in a better place, if only we can talk sometimes. So much in my head and mind. I will forever celebrate you! I imagine you ‘re having so much fun on a day like this. Miss you papa!
Always and forever! Till we meet again, Adieu!

My hero, My pacesetter, My true gem, my look up to, My teacher , My pastor, My advocate, My mentor, My good example.... You are the true meaning of a good man. I miss you dad for who and what you are. Four years gone like yesterday. I know you hear me when I call you, when I complain, or when I just talk. I imagined your response most times knowing what you're likely to say but I miss your voice so much, I miss your persona, I miss your smile, I miss your words of wisdom, I miss your proverbs, I miss your reasonableness, I miss your decency, I miss your justness, I miss your fatherly love, I miss your discipline, I miss your loyalty, I miss your faithfulness, I miss your dedication, O dad, I miss so much of you! How can I not miss you? There's no one to compare or amount to you! I am grateful for all the memories and all that you left behind. I am who I am all because of you! Thanks dad!
Always and forever!

Any time I feel inadequate, unloved or in the darkest days, I remember whose daughter I am, Papa I get uplifted, I wear my crown and am ready to take on the world. All that I am and have become, I learnt from you.sometimes I wish I could go back in time, just to learn a few things twice so that maybe, just maybe I can be an SME in them.

My Papa, My Daddy, My Friend, My Confidant, My Adviser, My Teacher, My Pastor, My Mentor! Always & Forever Miss You!
Gone But Never Forgotten!!

I miss you so much papa and wish I could talk with you... There's hardly anyone to trust these days and get that kind of advice that comes only from a good & loving heart, those words of wisdom that's not found on book shelves......your words of wisdom are priceless! If tears could build bridges to heaven,I sure will cry enough to build a bridge to get see you. But knowing how much you loved and cared, am consoled knowing you are watching over us..... Continue to REST PAPA!

Its 1 year today since u left us papa but still looks like yesterday, continue to rest in God's presence.....We miss u so much......

Irreplaceable that's who you are, unforgettable that's how you will stay! It's the reason why I feel pain in my heart by your physical absence yet my soul rejoices for who you are and what you left behind. As we remember and celebrate you today & always, am consoled knowing you are resting in peace & in the best place! Live on my outstanding & beloved Papa!!!❤️

Miss you....Miss you....Miss you sooooo much! Words can't describe it! Miss your advice on life's issues. I know you are watching over us! Live on papa!

Your physical absence still hurts but your indelible mark is so comforting. Happy birthday PAPA! You lived! You loved!! You were here!!! There's enough proof, you were distinct, you stood out and will forever live on....❤️

Happy Birthday Papa.. May you continue to rest in Peace. Enjoy Your day Papa

Happy post humous birthday Papa. Enjoy your day with the saints.

Nnam Onyeoma!
All that you taught me, all the memories, all the lessons and good times makes the aches and pain of your absence lighter
Not a single day passes without feeling your presence. I have been thinking a lot & meditating on your matchless attributes & knowing that you fulfilled your purpose here on planet earth is comforting.
Then realized that I didn't LOSE you! Though your absence hurts..(big time)
You simply moved on to the next level!
A better place, watching over us with the host of heaven! Heaven must have thrown a remarkable party to welcome you home...
2nd of February....that was the DAY!
Unforgettable!!!!

A Tribute to my loving Father-In-Law..
Papa, it’s so hard to come to terms with the fact that you are no more with us.. As we say farewell and celebrate the life of a truly loving, caring, awesome father and role model, I really thank and appreciate God for bringing someone like you in our lives, and the number of years he gave us opportunity to share in your wealth of knowledge and wisdom.. As hard, as we feel your passing, we cannot but reflect on your legacies and the many lives you touched.. Your exemplary lifestyle taught all of us the true meaning of courage, discipline, honesty, integrity, and self-confidence.. In a lot of ways, you were ahead of the times you lived in, and I always felt so proud knowing that I have you as ‘Father-In-Law’.. Papa, you have left a vacuum that will be very difficult to fill..

Our wish and prayers for you as you journey on beyond this earth, is that his mercies and goodness abide with you always.. We will forever cherish your memory..

ADIEU, Papa.. Rest in perfect peace..

PA Michael Chukwudumebi Mokaeze Goes Home…

Then out spake brave Horatius
The Captain of the gate:
‘To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late
And how can man die better
Then facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his father
And the temples of the god’s?’
(Thomas Babington Macaulay) Lays of ancient Rome, Horatius

Nneka, the beautiful enterprising daughter of Pa Michael, in whom he was well pleased, mother and wife, loving daughter and a great sister, the one that makes the old man laugh loud,told me that Pa Micheal Mokaeze is dead, I was dumb founded. Only few weeks ago Nneka had spoken glowingly of the old man,how happy she was to have spent Christmas.
Living far away in canada has not diminished the love between father and daughter.

Pa Mokaeze was a strict disciplinarian, a no nonsense father, he,like Ralph Waldo Emerson (1802 – 82) will say ‘the reward of a thing well done, is to have done it well’.

Pa Michael Mokaeze life was that of leadership by example, He believes in showing example and setting the pace. He was soft and gentle yet firm on discipline.

It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who said, “Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And departing leaves us Footprints on sands of time”.

Pa Michael Mokaeze’s passing on to glory on the 2nd of February, 2015 will be missed by all. His burial on the 17th/18thApril will bring young and old, men and women, from all works of life to celebrate a great man, a wise man who has left us to join his ancestors.

In his epitaph, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin ( epitaph on himself, 1728). “The body of Michael Mokaeze, trader, farmer, teacher and philosopher ( like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding), lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost; for it will ( as he believed) appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author”.

Prof. Steve Azaiki, OON.

A tribute to my grandfather:
I feel very blessed to have known such a man as Papa. A man so wise, so strong, and so loving will always be remembered. Death is inevitable, but there is peace in knowing that you're in a better place, with our maker, watching over our entire family and guiding us in the right path. You were a role model and your lessons and teachings have & will be passed down through the generations of our family, moulding us all into good human beings. May the good feelings of our memories of you bring us consolation, now and always. We miss you Papa.
Gone but never forgotten.
- Nnamdi Nwajei (Grandson)

It was a great pleasure meeting you. I cherished your wealth of knowledge and your beautiful and persuasive style of discussion. I recall the smiles on your face as you endeavored to put across a convincing argument. For me, it's not just a matter of "will miss you"; the fact is that we are already missing you greatly. Have a great time in heaven!

Oh Papa... It's really unfortunate for me, that I didn't get to meet u, even thou I had planned with Nneka to come visit you in Nigeria . With all the wonderful things I've heard about you, I realized a genius, committed, faithful, caring, devoted, disciplined and a very good man has just gone to meet with The Lord...
You truly lived a good life you produced very good results and your legacies will live on... You are always loved Papa and you will never be forgotten...
May you continue to sleep in The Lord and may your humble and gentle soul rest in peace....
We all love you papa adieu...

Sir,
I never got to meet you before the heavenly call but the tributes from your children and all those who knew attest to the goodness of your being when you were here with us. The love you shared with your children is also evident from their glowing tributes. Rest in Peace Papa. You have played your role, run a good race. May the family you left behind keep your flag hoisted and flying.

A Tribute to My Father-in-Law Apostle Michael Chukwudumebi Mokaeze
Papa has touched each of our lives in ways that cannot be expressed with words through his living example; he has taught us what it means to be a man of Humility, Honor, Grace and Faith.
We have so many wonderful memories with him that we will treasure for the years to come, all of them Happy and Joyful. Not only has he been an amazing father to my wife, but also an incredible role model to our children.
We will miss you Papa so dearly, but I am confident that your legacy will live on and I give thanks to God for your life well lived
Adieu Papa!

From Your Son ; John Mokwunye

A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER: THE FIRST GOOD MAN I HAVE EVER LOVED.

M.C MOKA,  as you are fondly called by your children;

It’s a privilege having you as my DAD and my learned colleague because your intelligence was more like an advocate at the Bar.

Hmmmmmm, I remember on my Call to Bar day, I saw how proud and happy you felt to have me become a Lawyer. 

Dad, I love you for an infinite number of reasons. I feel so blessed to have you as my father and I am thankful for the wonderful life you have given us and to those that knew you throughout these years will live on.

I would like to celebrate you: a magnificent man, a loyal, loving husband, a devoted father, grandfather and great- grandfather, an Apostle of the Lord and a true friend. Please know that my list of gratitude is endless and continues to grow with each passing day.

Adieu Papa, Sleep well on our Lord‘s Bosom.

From Your Daughter: Barr.(Mrs.) Ngozi Mokwunye
