Tribute By Jude Nwawuezi-
Omanwa Gregory ,fondly called Oma Greg was the fifth(5th) in a family of Eight(8) . Born of late Princess Nwaugbala Amadi Nwawuezi of Naze and Amos Osuji Anamelechi of Owerri. He was the preferred child of the family. Actually he was also a fine gentleman. According to my mother Princess Ada Onyeneke Nga Amadi Nwawuezi' Ana enwe umu nwee kwa nwa' Oma Greg was the nwa of the family. A bow legged handsome man, he was a Laboratory Scientist and football captain of Gulf Oil Company, now Chevron Oil Company.
As a youth he fitted in very well with Naze his maternal home. He was a special grandson to my mother who usually called him"Agiri Agwo Oria".
During their primary school days , there was a drug called Agrii, it cures more than a THOUSAND diseases. So instead of Gregory ,mum called him Agiri Agwo Oria. Ironically, Ndaa Gregory is much older than I am but still considered his uncle.
That is the English language for you. I have not recovered from the shock of his sudden death. Therefore I am neither in a hurry to forgive death, neither am I in a hurry to bid Gregory goodbye . So be it in practical terms, I have come to believe that cleanliness is next to Godliness. Oma Greg lived a very decent life and died a decent death- a true Godly man. But i can't imagine loosing him so.
