TRIBUTE TO AN ICON OF SERVICE
It was with great shock and pain in our hearts we received the sudden demise of LATE LION NNAEMEKA VICTOR OHAERI, MJF, NLCF, the 38th Sitting President of the Calabar Canaan City Lions Club for the 2020/2021 Lions Service Year.
He is best described as an ICON OF SERVICE, whose slogan for his service year as a Club President is "service is our life force" which he exemplified by the various service activities he undertook in the areas of Sight Preservation, Hunger Relief, Diabetes, Paedeatric Cancer; as a member of the Lions Club and more recently the construction of the E-Library Complex at Calabar which he spear headed.
He was a Leader par excellence, Charismatic in the discharge of his duties, a great Philanthropist, who carries a peaceful calmness around him, a team player with high ethical standards who had positive impact on the life of friends, colleagues, the young, the elderly and humanity at large. He was a true example of a Lion who roars and rises up to serve whenever the need arises.
Late Lion Nnaemeka Victor Ohaeri MJF, NLCF gave his time, resources and means for the cause of service to his community and the less privileged.
He has left a Vacuum and raised a standard too high to fill but we are consoled in the fact that his Legacy lives on as shown in the impartation he had on people's Life through service. Indeed we have lost an icon of this generation, we mourn his death and sincerely wish he didn’t have to answer the call to transition at such an young age.
We will surely miss him, the community would miss him, the Lions Club at large would miss him and his charismatic style of leadership.
It is our prayers that the Almighty God in his infinite mercies would console the family over this unimaginable loss and grant his soul eternal rest in his bossom.
Adieu our ICON OF SERVICE
Adieu to our Pacesetting Club President
Adieu to our Capacity 38th Club President.
Yours in Service:
Lion Felicita Opata NLCF
Club Secretary
