o my, Chairman, Chairman, Chairman…... that is what I would call you whenever we strike a conversation, no matter how serious or grievous the matter could be!!!!!
My brother and dear friend High Chief Ifeanyichukwu Sunday Ekeukwu, when I decided to write this tribute, I paused and did not know where to start or how to end it, because of the pain in me deep inside my heart, not to mention the pain in your lovely and dear family, Immediate members of your family, your community at large, friends at home in South Africa, and to the life’s of whom your love kindness and care impacted.
There are lessons that you taught me, in the short time we met and worked together;-
>That love and honesty were the foundation of success.
>That your family was the backbone and strength of your hard work.
>That your community and the welfare of your neighbors were the foundation of peace.
>That giving and letting go when a person wronged you was a fountain for the blessing that does not run Dry, since by doing so you opened opportunities that are in store for you, rather than agonizing With the past.
>That you had the best advice, solutions to problems and disputes no wonder you were a pillar Of your family, community, friends, and even to the work of God, in society a testimony I heard from Most Rev. Agustin T. Ukwuma on the burial of your late beloved father.
These qualities are not found in many people rather than noble men and women of God.
You struggled and came to check on my health even when you your self was struggling to walk, I remember I told you with a very blatantly and with a very loud expression that you should have been in the hospital first, rather than coming to check on me, but as usual, you were strong and gave a compassionate answer that you were okay. And after four days you left us, how I pray that your passing on had no hand of any human being, because if there is, your blood will always cry and call to the Almighty God, for the tears and the broken hearts will always remind our Maker, and our Dear Lord, the Heavenly Father that a humble servant, a father and brother to many, be it blood brother or friendly brotherhood, that you left us due to the power of darkness.
May the Almighty God, take care of your lovely wife Lolo, and your beloved children to never lack anything due to your early and untimely departing of their loving father, may the good Lord comfort your family with His everlasting Grace because that is the faith that you taught me, and many of your people and friends.
Farewell my friend and brother until we meet again, may the good Lord rest your soul in eternal peace and grant your family strength and comfort.u
Madala, Madala, Madala.
