TRIUMPHANT JOINS THE SAINTS
What an awesome and fruitful life Prof Mrs F.C.Ejike lived. You were such a rare talent that your presence provided succor to many. No wonder why everybody calls you mummy including your co-lecturers in ESUT. You are loved by all. You were endowed with great energy and an infectious optimism. You prayed with great fervor, condor and conviction. This made you to accept the 30 days Novena to Triumphant Hearts of Jesus and Mary which ended with Miracle of the sun on 30th August 2016. You called me on phone few days later telling me that the diagnosis has changed. This was proved true by your acrobatic dance performance on your son’s wedding day to the amazement of everybody.
At ESUT you rose by dint of hard work and dedication to the rank of professor. You are a bundle of brain, beauty and benevolence. You are everything to me: mummy, a sister, a friend, sister-in-law, granny, mentor, supervisor, H.O.D and erudite Professor. Mummy, I am consoled by my last memories with you. You insisted that I should stay with you on your son’s wedding day till almost everybody left the hall. You even demanded that I should convey you home but your daughter pleaded with you to allow me to go because it was getting dark.
We are not mourning your loss but the great fulfilled life that Prof Mrs F.C. Ejike lived, the difference she made to our life and her Triumphant demise at 3am of 20/01/2018 to join the saints in heaven continue to rest in perfect peace.
Adieu Ada di Ora Mma.

CHIDALU AGE GRADE OMADI EBE
TRIBUTE TO A QUINTENSIAL MOTHER, DAUGHTER OF EBE, ERUDITE SCHOLAR,
A WOMAN OF GREAT WORTH, A GREAT ACHIEVER AND A LEADER
We the entire Chidalu Age Grade of Omadi Ebe pay a glowing Tribute to our unique daughter (Ada) of Chidalu Age Grade of Omadi Ebe, a woman of great faith and humility, mother of all (Nne ora) and daughter of our blessed Virgin Mary.
Memories are powerful things. It freezes a moment in time that our minds will one day revisit and recall. When the said news of Prof Florence Ejike death broke to us, many memories were recalled with great affection, many tears were shed and many good stories were told and retold.
Today we pour our individual memories of Prof Florence Ejike together and we thank Almighty God for the gift of her person. We remember with tears how she gave good account of herself as (Ada Ogba) of Chidalu Age Grade among others.
Prof Mrs Ejike Florence will be remembered for her hard work, disarming personality, honesty, patience and calmness even in the case of crisis. Her sincerity of purpose, unassuming nature, straight forwardness and frankness is worthy of emulation.
A role model. “The upright woman, though she dies before her time to rest, length of days nor time is not the true measure of life”. It is not how long she lived but how well she tried to live. God believes not in quantity but in quality of living. Prof Mrs Florence Ejike was a choice vessel of the lord and greatly impacted the lives of all who came in contact with her.
Unquestionably, death is God’s last gift to the living which everybody must receive before everlasting life. Ecc 3vs1,2&4 state that, there is a time for everything, a season for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. A time to born and a time to die. A time to weep and a time to laugh. And Job 21 said,” God gave and God has taken again, we are dust and unto dust we must return. The biblical injection is an indisputable fact.
It is unfortunate and particularly saddened because you did not live to see the end of the good work you started in us as to eat the good fruit of your labour, as a saying goes that one who blows the pipe must definitely enjoy the smoke. However, the undiluted love you showered on us will always remain evergreen in our memory.
In fact, your sudden demise has created a gigantic vacuum in our hearts. It is only God who decided to call you out of this darkness of life into his marvelous light to fellowship with the saints at his throne.
We take solace in the life of dedicated service you lived; you were a royal descent spiritually. Your enviable godly life style made you to stand among others and it is worthy of emulation. You were very much dedicated to your faith, always praying.
Indeed you had ran a good race, fought a good fight and we believe that our Almighty God in His infinite mercy will wear you, your merited crown. Definitely we know that your new place is better off. We love you very much, but God knows the best and love you more. Go In peace and have sound sleep with your creator.
Adieu – Ada Chidalu Age Grade Omadi Ebe
Adieu – Paragon of beauty
Adieu – Ezinne
Adieu – An icon, woman of integrity that posses heart of gold.

A GOLDEN HEART GOES HOME
FLOR.... ....you LOVED and you taught us how to LOVE beyond boundaries!!!
You were a solid,graceful woman of FEW SOFT WORDS………….. but ACTION!!!
In every situation, no matter how complicated or “hydra-headed”, Flor was able to identify, focus and perform her ROLE to details and near-perfection.
The way and manner she left the scene is an eloquent testimony of her core value of RESPONSIBILITY; bidding everyone goodbye peacefully and without grudge (only her love, our Sorrowful Mother could have prepared her for it).
Her regular slogan in counseling was “Hafu ihe ahu,mekeduo ka oka nma” Forget all distractions and do your best……simply put LOVE THE BEST YOU CAN.
My dear sister and friend, as you have chosen to join your husband,our dear Gburugburu,(so you can remind him of the stories he has forgotten to tell….. what you did best), tell him that his world-class stories and the laughter are still reverberating in our minds as you both rest in perfect peace, till we meet to part no more.
I cannot forget that emotional phone discussion in mid-December; as my usually elated, teasing voice came on line. Flor simply said “Ify gbadata,gbadata" then silence…..then "Kedukwenu Ejike"…….then sobbing (at both ends)……and goodnight! Flor said it all! Subsequent phone calls were "Hmmm"...nothing else was said.
May our sorrowful mother and loving Jesus cuddle you into God’s presence…and His bossom.
Eternal Rest grant her O Lord and may your perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace
Odibeze je nkeoma.

My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

A TRIBUTE TO PROF FLORENCE EJIKE
Goodnight Flo……
I remember that afternoon at Abakpa Nike in my late Uncle’s house, in 1975, when you made your entry into the Ozoejike family, completely innocent, and child-like, I thought, although I was like you too, just another child.
Extremely tall, and beautiful. And as Uncle would say, simply fantastic!
I watched, from my own cradle, the maturation process you underwent, over time and seasons, and events.
Me thought you enjoyed an ebullient life, full of vitality, influencing others while also receiving from others the bitter-sweet gifts of life
But you hung in there, shooting your own arrows farther than the mundane. Completely unfazed by humanity and it’s realities, and loving it
Over time, most things changed for the better, as in growing through the ladder of virtues, through the vicissitudes of life, but your simplicity and pragmatism grew higher than all others. They stood out taller than you.
I will miss these so tenderly……
You lived a fulfilled life, I must say in retrospect, after mourning your exit
Because I can see clearly now, that
. You were indeed a wife and a mother so strong
. And a friend
. And a friend
. And a friend indeed
. A confidant
. And non-apologetic for these
. Proud and elegant, yet not self-conceited
A lioness indeed, took care of the cubs. Proper care.
Very capable of loving, and loved to pieces. You couldn’t hurt her cubs, and her friends. And she went around to be sure they were all well-grounded and settled as she departed slowly, and resolutely.
An angel of the night that sparkled in the day, with jokes and laughter, so divinely complementary with Gburugburu.
We shall miss the annual get-to-gether, when mbacha was the delicacy, because we asked for it! There we shared the love, and drank it to the full. Now, I can see, enough to last a life time, and hereafter.
May the host of angelse and saints accompany you as you approach the throne of mercy, and may our Holy Mother intercede for you. Blessed Cyprain Tansi will plead on your behalf.
Jesus is your Lord and Master, and will forever keep you safe.
Rest in peace, Prof.

| Dr Cordelia Udabah | Goodbye Flo | February 16, 2018 |
We met each other at Army Day Secondary School,Enugu in 1986 where I served on the National Youth Service Programme (NYSC). Flo, right from there you accepted me as a sister and played the role of a secondary school mother to me even though I was an adult. Your humility, simplicity, and sense of humour endeared me to you. We played, joked and laughed a lot together. You called me Cado, while I called you Flo, mimicking the village accent. And through the entire ordeal I had during my PhD programme, you kept encouraging and spurring me on when I get demoralized. Flo, you were no doubt a mother and a mentor to me!
Towards the end of last year, while in the United States I would call her virtually everyday to cheer her up. On the 11th November when I called she sounded very dull, but by the next day she was lively again, and we talked at length, and we prayed together and I reassured her of the mercies of God and the intersession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the health of the sick. And at this point she said to me: "Cado, I am ready for any eventuality. I have faith in God and I'm not afraid of anything. I trust God completely!" I enthusiastically echoed, "AMEN!"
A day before I returned from the US, she bade me safe journey on her usual humour said, "Cado, if you don't calle when you get to Nigeria I will knock your head." I did fulfill my promise as I called her a few days after, and she then told me she was at the airport on her way to the United Kingdom. She also promised to call me but the next thing I heard from Uk Enebe was that Flo has passed on! I wailed my heart out but eventually consoled my self. One fact is that Flo has passed through hell all these years, yet she never lamented nor wavered in her faith: she bore her cross as Christ thought us. Flo, while we mourn, we also want to celebrate you - the good memories of your grace, kindness,elegance, simplicity, beauty, humility, cheerfulness, tour understanding sense of humour among many other positive things that you meant to us.
UDI and Ezeagu have lost a rare gem ; ESUT has lost a unique personality! Never the less we are comforted to know that you are now asleep in the Lord where we shall meet to part no more. You have completed your assignment, and it is well with your soul! Rest on, dear, for rest is sweet after labour!
Flo's children weep no more. You have all done very well. Great job, Umu oma! You are the best any parent would desire. Your family and the world at large will remain a better place if you continue in your mother's legacy.
Goodbye, Fro mo ooo!!
Adieu, charming beauty
Adieu, graceful mum

| Somto Orji | Goodbye Aunty Flor! Je nkeoma...... | February 14, 2018 |
You never missed any ceremony in our place. You were that Aunty that we could always count on to take charge of the kitchen. In fact, the ceremony only starts when you and Uncle arrive. I must say you were very greatly missed at our traditional marriages. No one commandeered the kitchen like you did. Your sense of responsibility was second to none.
I know you fought long and hard to be with your family and loved ones. The love you had for your children was almost as great as the love they had for you.The bond you had with your husband though was unmissable, maybe even enviable. I know you decided to join him in heaven and continue telling stories there.
There is nothing children are supposed to do for their parents that your children did not do in excess. Adaeze, Chidinma, Uju, Ngozi, Ugonne and Nnaezim please accept my condolence and be strengthened in the fact that you did ALL you could for your mother (and father). I know if there was a way to keep them longer on this Earth you would have found a way. Alas! It is not our will but God’s will that prevails always. What you have lost on earth, you have gained in Heaven.
Only the forgotten are truly dead. Rest in peace Aunty Flor. Je nkeoma!
Dr. Mrs. Somto Ogbuagu
