I met Nanma in AICE Owerri. She was there before me. She took me in as a sister and we stuck to each other. We celebrated with each other. When she had hae engagement party we were all there. I was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She also preceded me to UNN to read a degree course. She came as a married woman and I came still as her little sister. She treated me as such. She had that trait of being a big sister even to those older than she is(was?)....I am confused!!!! When she graduated she left. When I graduated, I stayed back, did a Masters and a PhD. Along the line she came back, completed 2 Masters degree, did a PhD and ... We were still relating. Even if I broke faith, she remained faithful and steadfast. when she relocated to Abuja, her house became a second home where I could come and go without notice. Sometimes I would be gone for so long, whenever I come back, she would welcome me...not judgmentally, not wondering why I stayed away, but with open arms. That was Nanma, that was my friend. An OMELORA.... God in His wisdom decided to call an angel home. Nanma, Uju, Auntie Uju, Anutie Nanma, Mama Elo, Mama Chibuzo, It is hard to beleive that you are gone. You are merely going before us cos we will all come behind you.FAREWELL trustworthy friend.GOODBYE....REST IN PEACE
