Wow!!!
Monday, 6th April, 2015: This day will never be forgotten in our history....the whole onicha and obizi stood still for a mother, a woman of strength, a vituous woman, an example of motherhood......we marched through the roads of onicha and obizi, the undertakers dancing to the rhythm of the march band.....the heroic welcome at her elder sister's compund in umueleagwa and her place of birth in umuchima Eziala Obizi was awesome.
Nneoma, today we bid you final farewell. The whole people testify of your examplary life....Today we say good night. Sleep on and take your rest

Late Ezinne Danne Christiana Ahaghotu,
She was one of my mothers, I was raised at my maternal home along with Chid Ahaghotu; we all grew up together as if we were siblings, as brother and sister, with love and decency. Danne Christiana and my late aunty Malinda Ahaghotu taught me many lessons which I carried with me into my adulthood. Dignity, self-mindedness is just a few qualities that I learned from Danne and late Malinda Ahaghotu. Danne would often tell me that ‘the best is yet to come’. Danne thank you because you were right.
Danne Christiana was an industrious woman, one who is kind and always smiling, a true lover of life. Dana was a strong Christian, and a solid member of the church choir, I often recall the times Dana would call Chidi ‘ROCK’, one son that’s more than 10 children, as you all can see Danne, you have already blessed your son Chidi and the hand of the Lord is with him and his family. Danne, Nneoma we’ll miss you very much. You are the candle in the wind, but the light you glared will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace.
Danne, it is yet difficult to believe this news of your departure. Well, let me write of you but with a reservation that you might return from that hospital. What a Saintly passing on to glory; from an earthly thanksgiving service into a heavenly welcoming service.
Danne, you lived such a life of total commitment to the Lord; a life fulfilled in service to God; a life expressed in gratitude to the Lord God. You told me that you were the one who gave me the name that I bear - "Udochukwu" (Peace of God). You were born in peace, stood for peace, proclaimed peace, sought for peace and rested in peace. And so shall the generations of your seed experience and be guided by peace. You were "hard work" and "industry" personified.
My wife and children join in bidding you Good Night, though with heaviness of hearts.
Adieu Daa nne,
Adieu Counselor,
Adieu Energetic Woman,
Adieu Nwayi nwere mgbali.
Your "Ukochukwum"

If there is a right way to pass away from this world, you did it the right way. I do not have much to say. Except that we shall gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God. I love you so much. Ga Nke Oma!
We will forever miss you but one thing that is certain is that we will meet again to part no more be rest assured that you are resting in the bossom of the Lord, you have toiled for the Lord and he has choosed this time for you to come, you call me Chiwuike ntam now no one will call me again by that name you do assure me God is able to do all things I am happy you did not die a painful death you have gone to eternity to be with your maker, RIP.
Honestly, my only pain was that we least expected your exit now. I never shaked when you spent 4 weeks at FMC Umuahia.....you came back stronger! I wondered what happened...
However, our joy lies on your glorious exit....you left in thanksgiving; an angel to add to the heavenly host!
We will all miss you. Your son Dee Chidi and his loving wife,their children Obinna, Kaka, Ozioma and Ngozi....they wish you were still here.
Your brothers Dee chidiadi and Dee Ebenezer wished you could stay longer.
My sister Dr. Amara, her husband and kids will never forget the only "grandma" they ever knew.
The Ugorji's and the Ahaghotu's will miss you
My wife never felt the absense of my real mother (your elder sister)..My children all think this is just a movie..maybe their cartoon.....they hope to see you back in Lagos soon.....For me, I am yet to come to terms with the reality! You made motherlessness so easy for me that I only talk about it in principles and never in practice....Good night Danne, Good night Nneoma!
Who are we to question God and His ways? I know that if it was within your power, my sister, not to answer this Godly call, you would have said “No” at least because of your only son Chidiadi and your remaining siblings (Ebenezer and I) whom you always prayed to God for their protection.
I will not forget to mention Tony Okeahialam and Ebere Alilonu nee Okeahialam whom you accepted as your own children after the passing of their biological mother on the role they played in your life.
I will miss your usual way of answering my phone calls to you, “owu Nnaa?” Is it you, Nnaa? Nnaa being the pet name you had always called me, with that infectious laughter followed by “Jehovah wu Eze “God is king”. It is very sad that I will never hear my pet name and Jehovah wu Eze from you again.
One thing is for sure, you are with Him where you know longer have pains.
I say to you, my dear sister;
Jehovah wu Eze
Goodnight my sister
Your brother Chidiadi James Ugorji
Rest in perfect peace.
Mrs Christiana Ahaghotu fondly Mama Bro. Mama is a kind of woman that is so specific, Mama is a jovial kind of woman. Death has taken one of the person that makes me happy each time I remember her advice. mama is more like a mother to me.

My friend's Nnedim Ga nke Oma, Da yie,goodbye and may your soul rest bin perfect peace.

Honestly I don’t know what to say. I just don’t understand what happened. It is like a movie. Your glorious exit to our Father came as a shock to us, it was too sudden Danne. Could you have given us a hint? I guess not. Only God knows why he called you now. My only consolation is that you did not experience any pain or illness during your transition; you gave thanks to God and invited people to join you and thank God for what He had done for you. Danne I’m glad we were able to see again last year during my daughter’s wedding (Nneka). You know Nneka is very fond of you. Her wedding brought a lot of relatives together including your brother Ebenezer whom you hadn’t seen for over twenty years. I remember exactly how excited you were when you saw him, you tried to carry him on your lap, funny isn’t it, how can you carry a grown man? But Danne, that’s you, always loving and full with energy.
The Ahaghotu Okenes, as they come by to mourn with us, each of them gave the same testimony about you, that whenever they visited their maternal home, you Danne would invite them; entertain them with food and drinks, you are known to care for people. Yes you have only one child, Chidiadi but the love and care you have for all of us show that you are truly mother of all, Nneoha, Nneoma, Ezinne.
Danne, I’ll miss you. I’ll miss your playful argument you always had with my husband, your brother, agreeing and disagreeing, your high spiritedness, your continuous vivacious laughter during your conversations and your known phrase “Jehovah wu Eze”. Danne, this attribute of yours will forever linger in my mind.
Adieu Dannem, Ezinne, Nneoha, Nneoma until we meet again.
God just wanted you to come home. Yes we know it has made us,
your family sore. You will always be remembered every single day. From the smile on your face to the things you would say. I will miss you and your unique way of shouting "praise the Lord'"at the church and at any christian gathering. Adieu Danne!!!!
You are another mother I received the day I wed your son (Nwannem)
In order to stay close to Nwannem, you stayed closer to me, Ezinwanyi, your daughter in law to whom he gives his heart
As I am crying for your lost, I'm thanking you for being the best mother in law any daughter in law could ever have
Thank you for teaching your only child LOVE because they say men are what their mothers make them...........
Thank you for being a mother who looked to God above
A thousand words could not bring you back.....
I know i have tried
A thousand tears could not bring you back ....
I know because I have cried
When you died you took my heart with you
I have been anxiously waiting for our early morning phone call on my way to work but still could not hear your heart warming bubbly infectious laughter
I miss you......
Nwannem and the kids miss you....
I can't imagine what Tony, Amara, Chiommy and their kids will do without you
Although, your soul is at rest and body free of pain
The world would be like heaven if i could have you back
First my mother in law
And forever my friend.....
Good bye Nnedim until we meet again
Please, hugs n kisses to Nnadim!!!!
You have been my Mum for so many years now since I lost my biological Mum. You have been so wonderful to me and my brother Tony. I am missing you terribly already...you know why?? You used to back me up in prayers whenever I am faced with life challenges. Whenever I call you and tell you any of them, you will always say this: " Eby ntam, don't be afraid, my knees are always on the ground interceding for you people"
I always feel better whenever I hear such reassuring and encouraging words. God always hear your intercessions for me and my family.
Dannem, thank you for everything!!!
I am going to really miss you!!!
May your soul rest in perfect peace!!!!
Your only child,
Ezinwa Chidi Ahaghotu.
We blessed God for bringing you to us, you left joyfully
Dancing & singing, praising your God. what a memory!
May The Lord whom you served cont to grant you
Peace in His bossom. You are now an angel watching over your
Son Dee Chidi & his family.
