OGIDI HOSTS ABAGANA
With tears of sorrow over an irreparable and irreplaceable loss, the Ogidi community - the place of legend Prof Chinua Albert Achebe, will welcome Abagana community which gave suck to human machine Prof Gordian Obumneme Ezekwe.
A daughter of Abagana, from Ezekwe Ugbo family, married to Okafor Odu family of Ogidi, died at the age of 66. It's very painful that Elizabeth Anthonia, popularly called Mmasiolu, quintessence of beauty who was full of life, died very early. Very heartbreaking!
Tears have been flowing from both families - forming a river. Abagana lost a daughter. Ogidi lost a wife. Who will console the other? The gods are not to blame.
The wailing, the crying, the weeping, the lamentations, etc should stop for every effort, every sacrifice, every demand placed for her not to die was met, but yet.
Both families did their best. Therefore, celebrating her impactful life while she lived is the best.
Take heart Okobi, Tommy Ezekwe, your sister, an epitome of beauty with endowed queen's character, died for others to live, and for her to live too in the bosom of her Maker.
We live to die, and die in order to live. To God be all the glory.
