I was chatting and laughing with my friend Chibuzo just before he received the call from lagos on that day (30th Sept., 2012). It all switched. I was stoned into shock when he broke the news! "....but I was gonna speak with her later that evening to find out how her trip to Badagry went,couldn't she have waited?" Never have I seen a grown man cry. He was shaking too. Words failed me. My expression was norm,unbelievable. If I could make a wish. please Lord,may it untrue. I never got a fair chance to speak with her. All I had to see are smile-filled pictures of her and tales of her been a blessing to everyone around her and that's why she's called Omelora. Sad I never met her,really. Finally,I am forced to accept it. 'that death will come to all',even to people we least expect,our dearest,our closest pals and us someday,eventually. Perhaps at a time we least expect,what a painful reminder. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Amen. Olumide Reply to: Reply to michael yusuf Send

Dr.Uju,I did not know our phone discussion a week to your demise would be the last. I can not believe you are no more on this earth, but each day makes it real, that it is so. You were such a wonderful person. A gift to humanity. The little time you shared with us was worth the while. Your memory linger for all the good you did. GOOD NITE, ADIEU! -MrS NKechi Onwukwe.

An amazon have departed. May your gentle soul rest in peace with the Lord. - Zaid Shopeju
