TRIBUTE TO A MAN OF MENTOR, ICON OF PEACE, AND A FATHER
I grew up to know you as the best friend to my Dad, HRH, Ajofe Peter Nwodobu Onu Nwajala, Ibaji LGA and later became my dad after his demise. You taught me all the philosophies of Science and Arts philosophies of Life. These scooped from mending broken hearts, making truce and peace in times of trouble, living a life of obedience, loyalty, truthfulness, trust, faithfulness, and humility. Your eloquence in speech and words oil people’s hearts for peace, happiness, and joy. Your unwavering loving-kindness for your family and Echeno community was a confluence of unity and progress. Can your world and contemporaries ever forget your devotion and dedication to your God? No, even your motorcycle, Electric Yamaha will rise on this day to testify to your service to God and humanity and early morning devotion at Saint Boniface Cathedral Idah. What else can I say than to tell you that the retentive and retrieving of your knowledge, wisdom, and experience in hearts made us Gold amidst our contemporaries and beyond? Your skills, acts, and arts of Agriculture and Trade supersede modern technology and science; even AI cannot boast.
Dad, may your soul rest in the perfect peace of God, our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Adieu.
I am your scholar.
