Dearest Tina, it was just like yesterday and already 2years. Words cannot sooth the pains, tears cannot wash away the sorrow you have been through, but the Lord is our Shepard, he has moved your life on, Obi would have loved that you move on in life, keeping his memories always in your heart, He was a good in-law, we all miss his humor. The love to the lord is with you. Shalom,,

Oby, it has taken me all of 2yrs since your passing to do what I am doing now. That's because it has indeed been so difficult for Ben and I to fully accept that you really did leave just like that and without a final good bye to your very close and cherished ones.

It is well as we know you rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord where we will eventually see you again.

Continue to rest peacefully our dearest friend, till we meet again IJN Amen.

“Obi, although you are gone but your spirit lives on especially in the hearts of your loved ones and friends.
Death took your physical body away but the Obi we know still lives on and there are things to remind us of you especially your open, kind and happy life.

God bless your gentle soul.

I remember the day I walked into your office in London and you CALLED out "COSCO" (that was the college we both ATTENDED in Nigeria).
It is true one year has gone since you passed on. You will be missed.
May the Almighty GOD grant you eternal peace. May I say again and again you will be missed. Rest in The Lord.

I write these lines with very heavy heart. What i can I say and leave? Obi you were a shining star that shone into a million lives. My Chairman and Big oga at MODULAR both in lagos and Enugu. I recall the very day I walked into that office in Western House and requested to see the MD. From that you positively touched my life in many ways. You gave me the name ALAYE. Rest in peace OBI.

Uncle Obi, the news of your death came to me as a real shock. I saw your brother in Enugu and he told me about the incident, I am in sorry. U helped me as a young boy in Assumption Church, Ikoyi to aspire 4 greater heights; I remember Western House; I remember Modular Systems...I saw you last on a Mothering Sunday last year after which you did play host to us in Emene. God grant you mercy.

I only know you through my husband Santosh. He used to talk to our sons and me about you almost every other day. So you had become part of our family and life. We were anxiously waiting to meet you in person, but couldn't. You left before that. My heart always felt that you are a Great Soul. RIP. You will be missed for ever.

Obi, the very first day I met you, you left a vibrant personality with me. I can never forget the conversation we had after your long trip to my wife's 40th birthday party. You said, that during the course of your journey you felt you will need your passport, as the party venue was so far in the bush. You will be truly missed. Cannot believe you have gone to rest. Till we meet again. Peace

As all of you know, Obi is a native of Udi. In fact, he’s helped many people in this town in one way or the other to have a happy life and he has introduced many of us the joys and peculiarities of life. He knows how to turn sadness to happiness. What A GREATman.
Uncle Obi, you will be missed. We can’t question God. We know he needs you more. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Adieu Uncle Ob

Oby my dearest brother-in-law, It still seems like a dream.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why....
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I miss you my beloved brother and you will forever remain in my heart!

Its sad beyond belief that Oby Orah has passed on at such a young age. He will be terribly missed by his adoring sister Ifeoma, his loving niece & nephew (morenike & Sj) & Tina his wife. The rest of the family including his children will feel pain beyond pain, but there is a God & he will heal the pain slowly but surely. May your soul rest in heavenly peace God Bless the Onyia Family.

Obi, would never have thought you would leave without a hug and a goodbye. You always would do that to those close to you. This last time, when it would have mattered so much, you wrung down the curtains when all of us were looking elsewhere.

Adieu GREAT SOUL till we meet in His Bossom.

Uncle Obi, your charisma lit up any room you walked into. The first time Chy and I moved to the Uk, you took us into your home with no reservations. You could relate to anyone, it didn't matter their age. There are not enough words to say that you would be greatly missed.....I can't believe there will be no more 'uncle Obi' at villa during christmas time. May your soul rest in peace uncle.

Obi, your smile and warmth lit up every room you entered. Your love for little kids was pretty obvious and I remember you playing with my daughter Adaora and making her laugh out so loud. Just like your name, Obiora - you had such a large and welcoming heart for everyone. You will live forever in our hearts and especially in the heart of my dear friend Tina. Rest in peace with our Lord

Vibrant, jolly good Obi. You loved life and people around you, friends appreciate and enjoyed ur generous nature when you were here on earth. Just know that ur altruistic attitude inspired those around you and leading by example @ the time you did, made you the apple of ur friends eye. Good-bye Obi, as u depart to self, timeless, stainless dwelling. Rest in Absolute Perfect Peace.

Obi,
What a shock!!!!!!. Is that how we depart this sad world????.Words cannot describe my shock at your sudden departure. Only time can bring healing to my heart. All I can say is that we will miss the Giant in you. You were an inspiration to us all. Nonetheless, God be with you till we meet again. We love you but God loves you more. RIP

Obi it is difficult to understand and hard to take in that this is it. You have always left a lasting smile on the face of the family. I cant see anyone filling the gap. We cant question God so I guess he needs you more. You will be missed. Your loving memories will alway be there. May the lord give the family the fortitude to bare the loss. The Okonkwo Family

They say time flies even when you are not having fun. Another year has flown by so quickly and the void is still very great. I have chosen to remember the wonderful times we shared together, twin hearts, a love that was difficult to comprehend by those with little hearts. You always had a large capacity to give love and I doff my hat to you even in your absence.

You were a special one indeed! my giant teddy bear!!!

I am sure you must have seen Regi Regi over there. She also left without saying goodbye. She had a lovely send off from us. You would have been very proud of what we did. However the party was not complete without you. Your absence on that solemn ocassion was all so so glaring. You were always the party maker!

Sleep tight my love, keep partying in heaven and have a very well deserved rest with the Lord.

Gone indeed too soon.

Oby my dearest, It's one year today since you did me a cruel trick. A day that I would rather wish away. As the days have gone by it has become increasingly real that you are no longer here.  It is still like a bad dream with no waking up. I spend a great deal of time having conversations with your photos. It might sound crazy but that's very therapeutic for me despite the fact that its a one sided conversation. I miss not having you ask me what it will take to make me stop talking. 

Gone truely too soon!!!!. May your soul find perfect rest in the bossom of the Almighty, where there is no toil nor sorrow.

Miss you loads.

My dearest, the past few weeks have been very difficult. Coming close to xmas. This time last year I was all excited, shopping, and doing last minute preparations and getting ready to fly down to Naija to see you. The memories of a very wonderful xmas and the time we shared together is forever playing in my mind. It's quite tough knowing that I can't make that exciting  journey anymore with you at the other end to give me that wicked smile and a bear hug. Home will never be the same again without you. Seeing only your pictures and not being able to speak to or hug you again is heart renching. I miss you soooo much!

May your lovely soul continue to rest in peace with the Lord.


Thinking of you.
