"Nnem! (my mum) My dearest mother! My love! I cannot put to words what you were to me. All I asked for in a mother you were that and much more. You were my rock and reality check. The one in whom I looked up to and drew strength and courage. Chai!Ebee kam ga ejido? Onwu emem ife ooooooo! Nne anadizi I up onwu jirinapum ofu Npkuru Anya nji afu Uzo? Nne bu nne! (oh where do i hold on to? Death has toiled with me! Death has snatched my only one eye? Mum that is a mother)Who will pray tirelessly and stand in the gap forus nma? You have left a vacuum no human can fill. Nma (mum) I watched you toil this earth like a man.
I watched you fight like a lion. I watched you stand tall like an iroko whenever you were faced with life challenges! Mummy, everything I am today is because Ihad a mother like you. You were always there for us and never for once did you tire out. You were so full of strength. I celebrate you today because you raised champions ugomba! (fine eagle)You raised nations nnme! You were a one man squad dimkpa asana!
You were very tough yet very gentle and extremely compassionate. You had a great sense of humor and the best cook of all time you were. Nma I know you are resting in our lord’sblossom. I take solace in that fact.Thank you for trusting me enough to take your last breath in my arms. With tears in my eyesand joy in my heart I bid you farewell my mother. I love you, always forever. Naa n’udo nnme Oma! (go in peace my dear mum)
Your legacy lives on!
Chioma Akpotha.
May her soul rest in peace (amen)
