You were an epitome of gentility and respectability, exemplary practicable Christian full of compassion towards mankind and genuine and true worshipper of her God. Your forgiving nature and zero malice towards none was a testimony to your strong believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May our Lord Christ give you that mansion prepared for you. Amen.

And death cannot prevail,
Ojeake is matching on
Marching on
days have rolled by
GOD glory is sighted
our darkness is lighted!
Everybody in the neighborhood called you mama ojeake because of a truth you were really mama to all but you called yourself Regina Nwaifejoku Njokanma. I remember with fondness the years I spent with you as a child, the wisdom in your advise is timeless ...work! Work does not kill laziness does, keep your distance from gossips they will lead you to trouble, don't envy anyone improve yourself and many more. I also remember that when you call me by my middle name ONOCHIE!!! It spelt trouble but when you added OBODO I knew you were pleased with something I have done.
You lived a good life and continually appreciated God for his goodness to you. even from about 5 years ago when you were already in your 90's you composed a song to express your thankfulness to God. 'Osha no oo. Oshago ooo' meaning God if this is all you did for me it is enough and up till 18 months ago you stood and dance in appreciation to God at any given opportunity to the song you composed in thankfulness to God
Mama you are great. I miss you, we will all always miss you. adieu mama. Rest with The Lord

We are celebrating your life and in fact, our many thanks go to the Lord for letting us have you for this long. This is a rare privilege denied to many nowadays. We know you had to go as all of us someday will but it is hard for us to let go.
We remember vividly the love and care you showered on us as John& I visited you in both Ogwash-Ukwu and Ubulu-Unor. You have left an indelible legacy in your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Mama, continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. Rest in peace!
Akaonye & Saheed Johnson.

I remember Mama helping us with my newly born brother Emeka. I recall standing on a small stool in the kitchen to wash off the breakfast dishes. When I came back to the room, I felt like I had been working and mama had done nothing but watch this little boy while I slaved in the kitchen. I said something saucy to that misguided thought and boy do I recall getting a whooping from someone. Not sure who because I don't ever recall Mama touching me, so she must have relayed it to Mom or Dad. She was always serving, singing, praying, giving me what little she had to go to school back then.
I recall when we would have our spats, I would huff and not read her Queen Premier to her...that was our constant time together. That and the morning Agbo medicine we were forced to swallow.
Mama was awesome and she would pray and taught me all these songs in Igbo..."Cha-cha m o...nna" . Mama Ojiake, rest well. You have done well.
