I am still terrified Ikenna, to think that we were all together on Saturday at Nnokwa and by Monday you had an accident. We all danced and shined in our blues. Even at the hospital in Lagos, you never stopped being hillariious . Your accident and eventual death changed my understanding of human existence . I am deeply pained and fixated. Goodbye and God be with you till we meet again!

Still not well composed to put in a tribute that you well deserve Senior.
Wish I wouldn't have to write a tribute to your honourable self till you have lived to be a 100 years of age, or even more. But God knows best. The life you lived, though short, will leave a long remembrance of you in the hearts and minds of people you have touched.rest on Senior

Its was a shock to hear that you had passed on and remain speechless... I know you are with the Lord and pray you continue to rest in peace. You will be dearly missed by all who knew you because you were a gentle soul filled with hopes and aspirations and it hurts that you had to leave so soon but God knows best. Rest in Peace, Ikenna. Rest in Peace!

The love that Commandos have for you Ikenna is stronger than death, even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories of you either. In the end love and life are stronger than death. We love you, God be with you till we meet again Ikenna.
