Also recently someone shared a video of you making a speech at Brother Eman's house. It was so surreal to see how young and vibrant you looked in that video.
Even though I wish you were here I am still eternally grateful to God for the times we had you and for having you as a Dad.
Love you
Kelechi
Thank you for being who you were. Another birthday passes without me calling you or better celebrating with you.
Rest in peace, remembering you and your twin, sister Dora. Till we meet.
Lots of love, honestly tears roll down when I remember Dad
Organizing your estate has taken a productive part of time when I'm not working. It's my pleasure to organise your hardwork daddy - just as was the many times you drove the Aba Uturu highway in the quest for my Uni admission. I'll do it over and over again.
I miss having you my life. Rest on Ebubedike, my noble royalty. Hope 85 is looking smashing good on you both. Still sorely missed.
From Kelly - Dad, Today is 5yrs to that fateful day when we felt a great sense of loss in our family. How time flies. No matter how painful your passing remains, we still thank God for your life and for the lovely times we spent together when you were around. We thank God for keeping us in good health and unity since you left us. We miss you. Continue to rest in peace in God's bosom. Amen
Okey Ajaero - Dad may your soul rest in peace. Still remember your last outing was in my house, thank you for making it your last outing. We miss you but God loves you more.
Nkechi Okoli - My yaddy I will continually miss you u were the best I could ask for. Keep resting in Perfect peace!!!
Ochi - You know the Bible says “Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away.”
1 CORINTHIANS 13:8 AMP
Daddy’s simplicity in loving us and people around him is what has sustained us. Money, knowledge, power can never give what love gives because love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God and knows God. He that loves not does not know God. May the eternal love of God continually bind us together in Jesus name.
Daddy continue to RIP AMEN
My darling Daddy, my super star,
I found this picture(see latest upload) in my bedroom and thought to keep it till today for posting. Taken on your 25th wedding anniversary on October 12, 1988. Typical of your lifestyle - the usual breakfast set-up, mommy beside you and Uju smiling away in glee before leaving for school.
Now I see the similarity in posture between Uju and Chinemerem my last card. Interesting!
Daddy you'd have been 81 today. I miss you.....big. Can't help but feel the vacuum of having not benefitted from discussions we would have had were you still with us. I'm in an interesting phase of life and I feel you would have been just the one person to talk to. I stay grateful to God for the privilege of having you as a father.
For your info, mom just got back into Lagos yesterday from London and she's fine. We doing ok to fit into your shoes to love and care for her just the way you did.
I remember you with love today and pray that you continue to rest in peace till we meet to part no more.
Happy birthday dad! Love you.
Happy Birthday! Today you would have been 80years. How nice that would have been. I am sure we would have been planning a big celebrate. But even though you are not here with us anymore, we still celebrate the life you lived and in our hearts celebrate the special memories and happy birthdays we had with you.
Love you always.
Kelechi
You would have been 80 today. Would have been planning to thank God for your and your twin sister. At your demise 3 + years she had expressed disappointment that you two wold not be doing the big 80 together, Little did she know that she wont even be here for us to lavish her with love and celebrate her. Well the two of you have gone to be with your Maker and I pray that you both are resting in perfect peace. We do really miss you.

When I do things now, I still marvel at how you were able to achieve so much with the limitations of your time. You were indeed a great man.
We remember you today on your birthday and hope that you are resting in bossom of the Lord
that is why your gome but not forgotten
from your grandson
Take comfort in knowing that the darkness of mourning will wane but the memory of your father's life and love never will. As time passes a recall of his memory will illume your faces and lighten your hearts.
De Mishael was a good man, a hard working man and a man of faith . He was also a good friend of the Metu family and a friend of my father especially . It w
...I may not have had the priviledge of meeting you in person, but I'm ever so grateful to have heard such warm and loving stories about you from your son Uju. I thank God for the life you lived and even more, for the legacy you've left behind. May you find eternal rest in the divine presence of the Lord... Amen.
Words cannot express how we feel but God Knows best
Rest In Peace.

One Year memorial
We want to thank God for keeping us for more than 1 year after your passing on to glory. We also thank God for the grace and enablement given to us in getting your Biography completed within that time and launching it on the 19th of April 2014. We your family are committed to support the cause of alleviating the suffering of people battling with Parkinson's disease. We will soon launch a foundation in your honour so people will not have to suffer what you suffered with the help of God on our side.
It's three days to your birthday
Dad,
if you were still here with us by now I will be networking with my siblings on plans for you. Your birthday was always nice because most times it coincided with Father's day so that spared us the double expense of celebrating you for your birth and for being the father you were to us. You are not here now only memories and I remember when we were much younger that the committee of friends wives will cook for their husbands and gather at our house to celebrate you as well as Father's day. You were not perfect but I will like to have a father like you over and over again
