Opu Bro, your demise was sore. The very fabric of Igolima house it tore hopes diminished into memories for the first time in Lagos, i saw you disembark from dad's dug-out canoe for the last time in Bonny, with promise that you will back, but sadly that promises will not be kept, God willing never slack if I could turn back the hands of time.

Brother Oriks, When I saw you on the 2nd of January 2012 at PH airport, we had a short conversation and you told me all wasn’t well. When I left you to board my flight I said to you “bye, journey mercy” I never knew it was a farewell. Although I saw your condition, your death came too sudden. I will greatly miss you. The Kalabari community has lost a great son. May your soul rest in peace

The next few hour you walked away w/ out saying goodbye Ebi.Always be remembered.

It's been 7 years but it still feels like you are with us. Early on, there were times I didn't think I could make it without you but then we all realized we would never be without you. Deina Sime

I am painfully realizing that, as the years pass, there will just be more and more events I wish you could be here for (in body and not just spirit), Daddy. 

Arike biokuromari. Dein a sime.

Forever grateful for you,

IN MEMORIAM

  Oriks it seemed like yesterday but no it is one year today when cold hands of death snatched you away from us. Still in denial, some Sundays still expected your early morning Sunday calls.  Xmax came & gone, New Year came & gone, still no that familiar calls, this was the talk from all of who had the scheduled routine phone calls from you. Yes you were gone. I am now trying to understand that.  Oriks it is true that you have left us to the Heavenly father.   You left your loved ones w/ any warning, just a phone call on 01/07/12 that Oriks was sick & another phone call on 01/08/12 that Oriks was died, that hurts b/c we love you, but it happened b/c God loved you most.  No day has past w/ out your memory. We express our loss at any opportunity we have to talk about you. Oriks the vacuum you created will never be filled.   With your one year anniversary today, our heads are bow’d with woes, our bitter tears o’er flow we   Mourn the lost dear Oriks.   Oriks Dein na sime. You will always be remembered. Adieu.   Ebi.
