"It will be the little things
that [we] will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again!"

Dear Oqua,
On this day you shall be laid to rest...May this day mark the end of sorrow and sadness in your family. We all mourn you with heavy hearts. Your dedication to EVERYTHING you were involved was second to none. You were an asset Oqua...this pill is too bitter to swallow, but we cant question God. I pray that the Almighty comfort your very young family that you left behind. To your Sister, Brother, Parents, other relatives and friends who mourn you, May HE alone be their strength...and in all of these may we in the end look back and have a reason to smile again. Shine on Oqua! Your memories live with us forever!

Words are usually not enough in times like this. I pray for comfort for your family. You had a very easy going disposition and you were loved by many.
One day we will all come to the understanding of the mystery of life and death. But as humans we sometimes wonder what it's all worth.
Rest in peace Oqua. You are now where there's no more pain or sorrow, but here on earth you will be missed!

The news of your death was shocking. I can't begin to imagine the grief of your wife Ekamma, and your children not learning from your amiable nature. We are rather consoled that you've made your home in heaven. Rest in peace brother.

There are no words that will truly convey all you have been to the ones you loved and those who loved you in return.
Heart wrenching...devastating...death is so cruel.

If wishes were horses, if money could do
We would stake everything just for you
Peaceful, friendly guy, never a dull moment with you.

God's got you Oqua, that's my reassurance.
As I reflect on your life, what more can I say?
"Teach us to number our days Oh Lord
Teach us to live wisely and well"

Adieu my "debate partner", colleague and brother.
Sleep and take thy rest.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME! I only bumped into you some months ago during school runs at KIDS N' US and your amiable nature silently won my heart. I said to myself "cool guy". I called u chief, exchanged pleasantries each time we bumped into each other, listened with rapt attention to your debates while we waited at the school reception and you best described gentility and humility. I remember That moment when I was told of your death, since I didn't even know your name, I wasn't too bothered. But when they showed me your picture and I noticed it was you, my heart sank. How could it be? This was someone who wasn't prepared to die in the next ten years, why him? A man full of life. I had looked forward to doing many more school runs and bumping into you over and over again but how sad......IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. One thing is sure though; your legacy lives on. Your daughters will grow up to learn more wonderful things about the man who constantly showed others what family was all about. You meant everything to them and I pray that the almighty would be their strength in this darkest hour of pain and grief. Rest on Chief! It should be easy saying goodbye to someone u barely knew but your case is different. You just taught me that it's not how many times or years you meet a person that matters, it isn't really what you do for them that counts, one SMILE or a WARM HANDSHAKE can do the magic. FOREVER in our HEARTS.

When ever I saw Mr Oqua at church,
I knew I was home.

But God knows best.
So, Through tears stained eyes,
I pay my tribute.

POEM

July 8, 2020
Oh death, you scar!
Yet a little while,
This hurt you spit that exceeds
The excruciating pain of a vipers sting
Will expire too at the resurrection
When at last the risen Bride Groom returns
With luminance immeasurable 
And power invincible. 
Then, wilted Roses will bloom again,
With everlasting petals that will wither never.
A little while, you scar, a little while!”
Excerpt From “THE FINISHERS TALE” BY: D., QUEEN OF F’A’ARTS
Dedicated to Mr Oqua Itu... angels that have lived among us.

THE MEMORIES KEEP COMING!

July 14, 2017

Sometimes it's so easy to say, Time heals! That's true in context. But it's also true that events and places in the present, whenever there's a familiar setting, trigger treasured memories that leave us just sighing and saying, God knows best! I have so much memories to share about Oqua, but picking on one leaves me wondering how hard it appears that one doesn't know where to start from, or what to say. Should I touch on the memories of the Street we grew up? First Park? The Samsung Childhood photos? My nickname, 'Zimondo'? Or the ones from the last high school? What about FirstBank? Truth is, I'll come up with something to share soon enough, that will not only bring back those cherished memories, but will be a great inspiration to all!

Many Christians have a wrong view of death. We think we’re going from the land of living to the land of dying. But the opposite is true. If you know Jesus, you are going from the land of dying to the land of the living. Here are some of the images the Bible uses for the death of a Christian: going to sleep and waking up in heaven . . . moving from a tent to a mansion . . . walking from the darkness into a well-lit room . . . coming home to see your family and friends . . . being set free from prison . . . taking a long journey to a new land . . . riding a chariot to the New Jerusalem . . . moving into a brand-new home . . . opening a gate to a brand-new world. for all of the things you taught me, I say thank you. We miss you dearly but we believe you're in a better place. Solong Oqua!!!
