Missing you

This was our Month but I suppose it is just what it is!!! It is well!!

Auntie Vickie, it has taken a while to process your exit from this world. Hmm!, like they say, earth's loss, is heaven's gain!

I can't ever forget your very welcoming and ever infectious smile! You always had something nice to say to me in that your very beautiful voice. 

You were a true daughter of Zion, always radiating the joy of the Lord. You impacted many lives through your love for the Lord which you exemplified in your walk with Him. It truly made walking with the Lord a longing experience.

I thank God that He has called you to Himself; a place where there is no more pain.

Adieu daughter of God, until we all meet at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb to part no more.

Tribute from Ogbueshi Ibe Rapu & Family (UK)

Our dear sister Vickie, with immense pain we have now accepted the fact that we cannot see you again. For those of us who have not been around for some years, we are left with a magnified pain for missing out on the opportunity to share your last moments with you.
Vickie, we will always remember you as our sister who was full of love, majesty, elegance, and who lived for Christ. You had an infectious smile that assured everyone you encountered, that you loved and cared.
You have left us in this world to answer to the call of our heavenly Father and to unite with our heavenly mother- Holy Mary. We shall take consolation in knowing that you have gone to a better place; a place where everyone will love to be, yet a place where no one can enter unless they lived a good Christian life before they die.
Our dear sister, you will be greatly missed but REST IN PEACE. 
May the Lord give the entire Rapu family, your immediate family members, and friends, the fortitude to bear this huge loss.

It is said that angels seldom live amongst men. There's one less in today's world with your demise. Mrs. Victoria Agili you were a Boss, Sister and Friend like no other.

What virtue was did you not possess? There was none that wasn't second nature to you; effortlessly being selfless not just to me but to everyone dear to me and everyone you came across.

The ache I feel at your passing is indescribable. You'd forever be remembered for your elegance, grace, humility and generosity as I've never been found wanting of anything as long as you could help it. I'm forever grateful to you Mrs.Victoria Agili and although I'd miss the sweet sound of your voice especially with the way you fondly call out to me at National Museum, Lagos, I take solace in the Lord hoping that you're in a better place.

May you continue to rest in the bossom of our father Abraham in heaven and may the Lord our God grant us the fortitude to bear as we greatly live with this vacuum your demise has left us with.

Till we meet again to part no more, goodnight my Sister....

Mrs. Julie George

Painful Exit
Death, where is thy sting?
Vick, your sudden departure from this sinful world was so sudden and painful. As people of faith, let us be comforted by this Bible verse in Romans 14:8.”If we live, it is for the Lord that we live, and if we die, it is for the Lord that we die. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord”.
Our relationship spanned over 30 years. We shared ideas.
You were ever so cheerful & ever so smiling. An epitome of black beauty.
Vick, you were dedicated to your family, the Catholic faith and Asaba Development Union(ADU). I wish to recall your exceptional dedication & cooperation in ushering numerous guests to Confraternity of Christian Mothers(CCM) bazaar stand at a particular harvest programme in Catholic Church of Assumption, Falomo, Ikoyi, That particular event led to a generous boost of the society’s purse and that of the Church
You were indeed a friend in a million.
I will sorely miss you but God loves you more.
Adieu ezigbo nmadu! May God grant you eternal rest. Amen.
Ogbueshi and I wish to commiserate with Ogbueshi Agili and his family and Vick’s siblings.
Tina Onwudinjo (Mrs)

Aunty Vickie was an awesome woman, selfless, meticulous, charitable, generous, sensitive to others needs and always had a smile for everyone.
She encouraged me to join the Lagos Island Unit of Asaba Development Union - Lagos branch.
She was a Past President (Nneanyi) and her home was our monthly meeting point for about nine years.
Aunty Vickie was a devout Catholic and was very active in many pious societies in the church.
She was a good wife, mother, grandmother, sister, in law, relation
and friend.
I love you Auntie Vickie but God loves you more.
Rest In Peace till we meet to part no more.

The news of your death came as a rude shock to me that I cried all day and am still pained I never came to see you after many promises, I never anticipated it no wonder I kept calling you on the 22nd of February only for you to pass on the 25th.

Mrs Agili was an angel in human form. Ever smiling, cheerful,kindhearted, a beautiful soul in and out.
Aside the fact that she was my boss (though not in the same unit )she was equally my friend and I benefited greatly from her kindness which I will never forget.
Elegant Mrs Agili was an unassuming lady, selfless and doesn't have an air around her.
I know for sure that Ma that you are in a better place where sickness and affliction cannot reign.

Rest on Ma , I pray the Almighty God will Console and comfort your beloved Family you left behind. it is well.

My dearest aunty Vicki,

I called you in January, 2021 to wish you a happy new year and to check on you. You said you were doing well and asked how my son and my sister were doing. Little did I know that would be my last communication with you.

Words cannot describe how sad I feel but happy that you prepared yourself to meet your maker.

I learnt a lot from you serving on the Harvest Planning Committee. You were meticulous in reviewing the Harvest brochure. You were humble and always willing to assist me. I remember one of the Sunday's I was to take the harvest announcements at the 9 a.m mass but could not make it to church and at the last minute called you and you cheerfully saved the situation.

I can go on and on testifying of your goodness and kind heart.

My lovely auntie, rest in peace until we meet to part no more. Justina Lewa

Dear Aunty Vicki,

Our ever smiling Osodieli Aunty Vicki. It is unbelievable that you have left us. Your sudden passing was a startling shock to us all. !

I remember vividly how you welcomed me warmly, at my first Asaba Development Union, (ADU), Island Wing Women's meeting. The sumptuous meal, you served us, with your ever beaming beautiful face.

ADU meant a lot to you, its advancement was uppermost in your mind and your unflinching support to ADU was not hidden. The short time I knew you was pleasant, which I will cherish...

I will miss you, ADU Island unit will surely miss you. God has called you to rest, and we cannot question Him!!!.
Rest in perfect peace dear Aunty Vicki!

Love
Osodieli Uzo Onwuka

May the Good Lord welcome His angel to the kingdom of heaven. Rest in eternal peace Aunty Vickie.

TRIBUTE FROM MRS NKECHI ONAJIDE (NEE OGODAZI)

Auntie Vickie was many people to me: President of ASABA LADIES LEAGUE, my ASABA Auntie, and my big sister.

Auntie Vickie was a special woman because she had so many qualities in one person; 
Auntie Vickie was kind, approachable, easy to talk to, welcoming and smiling . When I had reason to see her at home, Auntie Vickie was keen to help without hesitation. Always giving sound and knowledgeable advice - both personal and about ASABA .

At our meetings Auntie Vickie was the expert Facilitator: she had the perfect balance of sensitivity, empathy ,open- minded , kind, and yet focused and firm. Managing a meeting where members ages ranged from “eighty-something” year olds to approximately “ forty-something” year olds . Auntie Vickie did an excellent job presiding over us as President. Truly proud to be from ASABA.

I am still in shock that she has gone. But God knows best. Auntie Vickie, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Amen._*
FROM MRS NKECHI ONAJIDE ( NEE OGODAZI)*_

My dear Aunty Vickie... dark, tall, beautiful, gracious and ever smiling. Smart, intelligent, elegant, eloquent in speech, spectacular to watch, admirable, encouraging and gently unassuming in her ways.'

You were gentle and firm in all your dealings.
You knew who you were and carried yourself as an assured and astute Lady of Poise, to God's glory.

Accepting that you are no longer with us, is such a hard pill to swallow.
We worked together splendidly as a think-tank duo.
We disagreed to agree.
I looked up to you as an older sister, friend and as my President, during our many, many, brain storming President-Secretary and older sister- younger sister sessions.
You had great plans for elevating Asaba Ladies League to greater heights.
You were encouraging, youthful, open to new ideas, to continue from where our dear, focused and patriotic, elderly members passed on the baton.

We gladly gisted on different topics for the seven years we worked and bonded together.
You calmed me down with your gentle chiding, whenever I got emotional.
I truly appreciate your understanding and wisdom which will live with me, for the rest of my life.
I thank God I told you many times how appreciative of you, I was.
But did I say it enough? Sigh...

Your demise has taught me to take noone for granted... and 'make hay while the sun shines.'

Aunty Vickie, I am still at a loss for words but reflecting on your passing, has made me truly realise, we all are saved by God's GRACE, even with our strong faith in God.
We have faith in God ONLY because of God's GRACE.
We are all living daily ONLY by God's GRACE, as stated in the Book of Ephesians Chapter 2, verses 5b and 8
and this blessing must NOT be taken for granted.

5b: "It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!"
8: God saved you by His grace when you believed and you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God."

God's GRACE is truly sufficient, daily.
Father, help us not to take Your GRACE for granted, henceforth.
You left too soon Aunty Vicky but I cannot question God.
No-one can question God.
I am pained, hurt as there was so much we had planned to do, for our dear Asaba Ladies League and other projects we were mutually passionate about.
I had so much to discuss with you and was waiting for you to get well and stronger but alas, this was not to be.

I have learnt more surely to, 'Make hay while the sun shines.'
I have learnt to 'Do what you have to do today and not leave it till tomorrow.'

Never has it been more vivid in my mind that, 'Noone knows tomorrow.'

Aunty Vicky, you ran your race and ran it well.
Slowly but surely, I will heal. We all will heal.
Thank God for the many and still fresh-in-my-mind, lasting memories, I will always cherish.
Your life was glorious and your memory delightful.
I cannot but smile, when I dwell on our past interractions.

May your beautiful soul continue to rest in peace and I pray JEHOVAH GOD will heal, comfort, uphold, strengthen your dear husband, fill this void with the Holy Spirit presence, every moment and give him the GRACE to bear the loss of his life time companion, in JESUS name. Amen.

I also pray JEHOVAH GOD will continue to comfort, uphold and strengthen, your lovely children, your grandchildren, your supportive siblings, your whole family in general, friends and give them the GRACE to bear this painful loss, in JESUS name. Amen.

I pray JEHOVAH GOD will also comfort us all, in Asaba Ladies League, as you were a gem of a person, a true leader, our assured President, taking the storm and the calm astutely and with your signature smile.

Aunty Vickie, we love you but JEHOVAH GOD loves you more.
Rest on, in perfect peace. Amen.
Rest on 'Black Beauty', rest on...

Love always,
Olufunke Ogeah.

Tribute to a fine, elegant, humble and respectful lady. Vickie, rest in peace. You have fought the good fight. Now rest in the bosom of your Creator. You changed Asaba Ladies League meetings to a youthful society. The Lord God will strengthen your family.

Your ‘Special Aunty’ Comfort Hayes.

A Tribute To A Very Dear Friend
Boboyin as I fondly called you, words fail me.
Lots to say about my dearest friend, I still cannot comprehend the fact that you have passed on.

You were a friend -so loving, so caring and true! At boarding school in Holy Child College, we had so much fun, especially when we used to play netball I cherish those times! I treasure all the fond memories of boarding school, that I recall with nostalgia.

You had a beautiful life, you were a beautiful person inside and out.
I will forever cherish the time I knew you.
The fond memories linger. Saying I will miss you is an understatement.

At our 50th year reunion, we all had so much fun, you were ever so pleasant, with your infectious laughter! Your active participation on the set platform will be greatly missed, as will the private chats and discussions.

Sleep on beloved! Forever in my thoughts

Aunt Vickie, as she came to be known in our LBS EMBA Class of 2001 -2002, was the epitome of propriety. She taught us, younger members of a very diverse and expressive class, the meaning of decorum, the right pronunciation of words, and so much else. She was never haughty at being significantly more experienced than many of us. She was one of the easiest people to relate to because of the true elegance and grace she exuded from within. When she told us of her illness at our Zoom meeting about May or June last year, we rejoiced with her on having made a wholesome recovery. Now I realise that an angelic figure like her must have subconsciously sought to be in 'like' surroundings. I will strive to teach my daughters to emulate the virtue of GRACE that I learnt from associating with the angel that Aunt Vicky is. May your further path be guided lovingly by the servants of the Lord.

My Darling Auntie Vickie, ever so sweet, ever so loving, ever so caring.

Sometime in the 1900’s, while I was assisting Mrs. Bridget Itsueli on a youth program, “Why The Church” at the Lagos Resource Centre, I went to drop some things at her home and that was where I first met Auntie Vickie, an elegant and gracious lady with the most beautiful smile. A few years later, we met again on the MBA program at the Lagos Business School and our years of sweet friendship was birthed. Every time I saw Auntie Vickie it was such a delight; if she saw me from distance and I hadn’t seen her, she would always make her way to me with her beautiful smile and I would be so excited to see my darling Auntie Vickie.

My friendship with Auntie Vickie influenced my life and life choices more than she ever knew. I saw in her a woman who truly loved and served God with all her heart and soul.
Her devotion to God and the Catholic Faith was admirable. When ill health restricted her ability to attend Mass at her Parish, Church of The Assumption, Falomo, she was ever so grateful to God that The Catholic Church of Divine Mercy, was close to her home so she could still attend Mass and visit her Beloved Blessed Sacrament.
My interactions with Auntie Vickie, deepened my understanding and appreciation of the teachings of Jesus Christ. As if in confirmation of Matthew 6:26-34, it was always inspiring to see how every worry and concern that she mentioned to me was always beautifully sorted out in a manner that could only have come from God. Witnessing Auntie Vickie’s answered prayers and special gifts from God was an illustration of how God takes care of His loving children and redeems His promises to them.

Auntie Vickie’s loving family bond was exemplary. From the little she shared with me about her family life as a Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Sister, I gained an understanding of selfless love. Auntie Vickie was always concerned about the wellbeing of others, her thoughts were always on how to better the lives of others. She had such a kind and caring nature and was truly blessed with wisdom and a large loving heart. With a strong commitment to doing the proper thing, she was fearless and very firm in her beliefs. Her strength of character was such that even when she admonished, it was never harsh or hurtful, but more of correctional.

When Auntie Vickie told me of her health challenges several years ago, I truly believed that it would end as another of those concerns that God would sort out and we would celebrate. In her typical dignified manner, Auntie Vickie carried her health challenges very well and it gladdens my heart that in God’s Infinite Mercy and Special Grace, she received the best of love and care from her beloved Husband, Children, Siblings and friends until her last moments with us.

A beautiful, confident, elegant, well-spoken and cultured lady with a spirit of humility and kindness, radiating a total trust and love of God…… that was my Auntie Vickie. I am certain that Auntie Vickie is at peace in Heaven and has joined the choir of Angels where she most definitely belongs.

We all love Auntie Vickie and will miss her but God Who loves her more has taken her to be with Him. Auntie Vickie, may your Gentle Soul Rest in God’s Perfect peace.

Funke Iroegbunam

You will forever be missed. We were in Port Harcourt as kids and then met in Lagos as adults after several years. You always had this lovely smile on your face.
My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. May God grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Rest In Perfect Peace Vickie.

I remember Sis Vicky as a very quiet and kind person. When I use to come over and spend time with the Rapu family at Ekololu in Surulere, my younger sister sometimes accompanies me, I had one of the best times of my university days with the family. The family was my family away from home, so i did not miss my family much.
The whole family was welcoming and Sis Vicky I remember was so quiet, a woman with few words. The few times she was home she will always ask me or my sister if we were ok.
Her kindness continued as testified by many, so it was not just a fly by kindness. May her gentle Soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus name Amen 
Maureen Izegbu

From the family of Mr. & Mrs. Okeke and family, we celebrate the passing on of our sister Mrs. Victoria Agili to the bossom of Our Lord.
We remember her standing tall at the alter proclaiming the word of God with her soft voice. We would miss you.
Eternal rest grant onto her Dear Lord, and let thee perpertual light shine upon her and all the faithful departed. Amen!!!

Every set has its stars; members who stand out in everyone’s memory. For me, Vickie was one such star. When I Joined the set in Form 3, I quickly recognized the quiet calming influence that she had on the class. Without being overly dramatic or domineering, she would express her opinion and state her reasons. She was not one who could be pushed around, nor did she bend just to be part of the crowd. Vickie was Vickie; real and unpretentious, with a smile that assured you that her heart was pure.
I reconnected with Vickie during our 50th anniversary reunion in 2019. She had not changed. She was still strong, resolute and indominable. More than once, her commonsense reasoning brought us back on track, or highlighted something we had not thought about. When Vickie spoke, people listened because she was never frivolous. During the reunion mass, she led us in communal pray, with calm sincerity and devotion to the Lord. Throughout the reception, her laughter rang with pure joy, and her beautiful infectious smile lit up the room. Vickie dear, you were beloved, and we will miss you ‘til we meet again in Glory. Rest in Peace dear child of God!
