Late Rev. Ugochukwu Obiora Adimora

Too Late to Meet “My Brother”

My brother, Rev. Ugochukwu Obiora Adimora, your sister, Chinyere, has been my friend from the time we were teens, so I call you brother as she calls you and I call Akachi, Sister Theo, as Chinyere calls her. Please Brother, let me give respect to these great sisters by calling them some of their professional names, maka na odiro eazy-o. Professor Akachi Adimora Ezeigbo, I salute you, Head of English Department, and Aka-na-edeji-pen, Creative Writer Extraordinary. Professor Chinyere Adimora Okunna, I salute you, Commissioner, Dean of Social Sciences and Ada-Eji-Eje-Mba of Anambra State. These illustrious women never cease to attribute their achievements to family and background. Brother, I was looking forward to coming to Uga to see the origin of the “delicious” tales that include you and Mama whom I had the honor to know very well, and others. I will still make that trip, but you will not be there to give me the awesome welcome that you are known for. Selfless care giver of wherever need calls, I heard how you would prepare and get things in place whenever someone was coming home. Alas! Death has robbed us of your unconditional hospitality.

But death, “be no proud,”

For Pastor Adimora still lives,

Through his household legacy:

First Lady of Reverend Adimora,

Children and grandchildren – All,

Spreading the name of Adimora,

The loving patriarch of the line,

Whose legacy lives with the faithful,

That forever sing Jesus and Alleluia.

You, devoted servant of the Most High,

You, who worshipped God all your life,

Rest in peace. My brother. Till we meet.

To God be the Glory

Times like this when we morn our loved ones demand a sorber reflection on life. We ask many questions about life, we try to rationalize what should have been done to make things different. But we should all be consoled in the Lord Almighty that our late brother is now resting with his maker.

Life appears to offer so much but like the Psalmist says all is vanity.This is the road mankind must walk through. So we continue to live and remember the good memories our brother shared with us and be glad that we once had him with us. We further look up to seeing him again at the resurrection when we all meet to unite with the saints forever. This should continue to strengthen and give you all hope that you will still see him again. May his gentle soul continue to rest with God in Jesus name. Amen.

CALL UGOCHUKWU

CALL UGOCHUKWU

Exactly at this hour 8.46am on Monday 17 February 2020, exactly a week today, the news of the passing away of my precious Cousin Ugochukwu Adimora reached me, silencing me. Words are paying their homage by bowing to silence, by keeping silent in honour of him whose voice rises to be heard when being heard makes a difference

Precious Cousin Ugochukwu, "nwanne w? ihe etinyehe nnu ma ya anat? ?t?". You told me how much you LOVED that saying.

Precious Cousin, you played your part to the utmost to keep that family LOVE and unity blooming and flourishing, healing and building, lifting, honouring and beautifying. You were that to which no salt is added but made family relationship delicious. Yes, you, my precious Cousin Mr U, made our Adimora family relationship delicious!

Your willingness to help whenever called up is the legacy of you being the male Adimora of our generation who was resident in Uga. A responsibility you honourably carried with great joy and happiness. You were the home branch that will drive our family to the hospital at the dead of night. You were the home root that will be called upon and will check upon, that will visit and provide companionship. "Call Ugochukwu" and you will be called and will answer. Your charisma, smile, your...

THE PASSING OF A GENIAL GENTLEMAN

The demise of Pastor Ugochukwu Ezeigbo, has , indeed, cast a long shadow among his family , friends , flock and associates.  Although I never met him in flesh and blood, I got snippets of his amiable and dependable  disposition through his beloved sister and my dear friend, Professor Akachi  Ezeigbo.

Rev. Ugochukwu, there are a myriad of testaments that you are as caring as you are selfless. You  have continually provided the crutch and the shoulder for each member of  your family. . Your ears are always pricked to listen to every demand which you eagerly attend to .You  are undoubtedly, a quintessential  Man of God toiling in His vineyard and simultaneously serving humanity.

Pastor, it is so difficult to address you in the past for you are living and will continue to dwell glowingly in the hearts and memories of your loved ones.  It is in the light of all this that you will be sorely missed .

May your wife, children , siblings and all take solace in the fact rhat you have found eternal rest in His blissful bosom
