To a Virtuous Woman (my G.Mum)
Mummy, you called me MEME and later graduated to calling me MEMERISTIC. I always loved the excitement in your voice anytime you called me. Every children's day you'll call me. I was part of your daughters. I called you my G.Mum (God-Mother) you always stood up for me and was ready to sacrifice anything. I remember you visiting one of the times I was sick, you left everything else and made sure I was better before you left.
its hard to believe you are with our father and are resting. But one thing is certain- we will meet again and will hear you call me MEME again. You are indeed a virtuous woman.
keep resting mummy.

A LIFE WELL SPENT
I thought I will never write this tribute, but keeping it longer than this never helped the understanding in my heart that its quite untimely to write this tribute to a dearest big sister
I grew up to know you as my eldest sister. And you lived up to all responsibilities attached to this, I will always remember your soft spoken words. I will recall it to mind that beautiful day you came to me, and said its time for me to give my life to Christ and you took me to full gospel business men fellowship and I gave my life to Christ.
Thank you so much and I know that God will surely reward you for leading me to Christ. I will surely miss your matured attitude in handling any case I ever had with you, because every little misunderstanding with you must be dialogued out.
You showcased Gods love to us as siblings. Always trying to protect our interests especially in my children's lives, you took care of them and showed them that nothing is impossible,big mummy as they called you has faith in God. No wonder two days before your demise you called me and told me that you're going to stress no more and that you'll be resting but I still didn't understand that you were talking about this great journey. I always rely on your longevity phrase, "that I will be very old and not in a hurry to die".... VIEW FULL TRIBUTE

Rest Well Ma
Sister, writing this Tribute is like singing the Lords song in a foreign land, but I have to do it. Grandma, as I used to call you, you did not do "well" by leaving at this crucial time that we need you most, since I heard from my wife of your departure I refused to believe and not bold enough to call "08032630690 will I ever receive calls from this number" it got too late to say my condolence to Uncle Job just because I don’t want to believe, but I just have to. Sister you took me as your Son, since 1997 when I first met you. You approved my interest on your junior sister Ogbonne to be my wife even not considering my tribe as a Yoruba man. Till you bid this sinful world bye-bye you were always there for me, you took care of your grandson Royal & grand-daughter Olive for 3yr over there at Abakaliki where they did their Junior & Senior Secondary School. It is too painful that you're no more Sister. Am missing your speaking Yoruba to me "se alafia lewa, bawo in gbogbo kan" no body to calls me "Jaidoooh" again, but I got solace in the fact that you were a Believer and you were a Redeemed of our Lord Jesus, am saying Rest in Jesus bosom Sister Nnenna till we meet & part no more.
Jide Akinlabi. Brother in-law.

A FAITHFUL SERVANT OF GOD IS GONE

A FAITHFUL SERVANT OF GOD IS GONE
The news of the demise of our beloved sister Nnenna Job Idam came to us like a thunderstorm, yes, it was a rude shock. We hardly believed it but, alas, it turned out to be true.
We cried and wished it would be reversed but, lo, it was God’s ordained act to take a faithful servant home to rest!
Sister Nnenna Idam was indeed a faithful servant of God while she sojourned on this side of eternity. Ever smiling, but never unserious! Schools’ work was her special calling. Where others failed she succeeded as though she had a magic wand that evoked the success. What was her secret? Passion! Burning passion!! Driving passion!!! Her work in Umuahia Area of Scripture Union (Nigeria) is a living testimony to this. Many of the souls she won and modeled for the Lord are still standing.
God, our Master and true Rewarder, has taken her home to rest in readiness for decoration with crown of many stars. Death has only made this possible and not done her any evil. It is only a pain to us who are left behind because we cannot see her in the flesh again. However, we will be brought together in eternity to part no more when the King of glory comes to rapture His own.
May the family she left behind be consoled by this one fact, that a labourer is worthy of his/her wages. Sister... VIEW FULL TRIBUTE
