Kessiena, was the bestest of friends, he'd give his everything to just anybody, I've never seen a soul so generous and beautiful. He was a good listener, caring and honest. He taught me Dolly's Coat of Many Colours. We met in our first Year buh it felt like we had known for ages, buh sadly he left in our second Year,didn't even give me a chance to know him for say 5yrs? or more. I can remember when he told me 'I can never stop talking to you'. He had sickle cell anaemia,suffered a crisis and gave up.RIP Kess 19:05:10 #bestestoffriends 1 Like |

veevean1:The way and manner obeke died sent tears pouring but the grief i felt when your mum left is unimaginable.. Aunty was my jewel, topped my list of motivators. Her never-say-die attitude and her hardworking self made me adore her the more. Her love for me was glaring and could only be rivaled by my mum. I looked forward to the day i introduce my "ibo fiance" to her like she always wanted but that day never came.. The news hit me like a full scale tsunami and anytime i remember ... RIP Mrs Nwadiaru |

He was my confidant, my friend, brother, cook, my 'home away from home', the best bf I ever had and in summary, he meant more than words can explain to me. He had a heart so large that he cared for everybody around him. A great visionary he was, in fact he seemed just too good to be true. He died during the 2014 April 14th bomb blast . He was on his way to work and then caught in the web of death. His death left me broken. Sorry, it's gonna be an epistle as there are just too many favourite memories of Collins. I will however put down few that comes to mind. To count the favourite memories of him that I have is like counting how many times I have laughed in 3 years. Once I was so sick, had this terrible stomach ache. It was late at night and he had to put me on his back to get me to the school clinic and back. Made sure i took my medications by petting me cos he knows I hate drugs. Twice he ironed my church clothe so i won't have an excuse not to go to church. For close to a period of one month, I ate dinner in his place everyday. he would cook then call me to come eat, he would say "babe, dinner is ready." Dinner was constant, minus other treats. He was so supportive and believed in me more than I believed in myself. He saw the best in me. The best part is the love he showered on my family especially on D and H. He loved them like his own children. Recently, H asked after him (a day after he died, i called to tell her) again, guess she is yet to come to terms with the reality of never hearing from him again. she loved him so much you would think he is her dad, meanwhile they had seen each other only once. Even my mum was deeply touched by his death, she marveled at how death could snatch such a good guy away. Passing my remedial in Unimaid was all cos of him, he made me passed Mathematics without which I wouldn't have gained admission even if I had As in all other courses. He got me a lesson teacher cos maths was (and is still) my worst subject ever. He would stay with me from the beginning of each class till the end. Lest i forget the monthly haircut he gives me, even though he hated the fact that I cut my hair he would still do the cutting when the hair is full. He wanted me to be happy and do what makes me comfortable as long as it isn't bad. Most painful part, he died on Monday and his wedding introduction was billed for Friday. It is just painful that he died without a child to carry on his name, that would have been my greatest compensation. Well, as they say, God knows best. 1 Like |

I had never lost anyone before, never understood what people went through until i lost my baby @ full term. I was just counting the days before i could finally hold him in my arms. His room was ready, clothes n all. only for me to go to the hospital and there was no heartbeat. I never even got to see him but I was so attached to him. I even used to go for scans just to see him move n hear his heartbeat. We already had a name for him so i always referred to him as if he was already there. Its been a yr + and I still feel so empty, i feel robbed and i'm still not over him.I doubt that I could ever be. It hurts everytime I see a baby of about the same age. I'm still praying for another child and I know that will ease the pain n heartache......... |

A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. Therefore, even that which (being but a cat) they would rather be known a pet, than a servant; is missing, today - and, probably, slain - all because it happens to be mine. For the thief comes not but to steal, only; but to kill, also; and to destroy, certainly. Thus the hour is truly come when whoever kills of The Pride of Machismo Renaissance (wherein is the faith of Masculinism) will think he is offering service to GOD. Yet, fear not; if thou art truly and indeed mine: for though The Pride of Machismo Renaissance may groan under the bondage of Her Realm, and may cry out for help (even when not with word; with mind, or with heart, or with action) their cry under bondage has gone up to GOD. And GOD has heard their groaning, and GOD has remembered the words with which were judged the transgression of Eve. And GOD has seen the men of Masculinism, and GOD knows their condition. Attilla, though you may be more feline than I am human (for you were never despised and rejected by cats, though I am by men) I loved, and I love thee. If thou art but lost, due to the wiles of the adversary (or to whatsoever other may be) I know that very soon I will say unto my Pride, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my cat which was lost." And should thou be indeed slain today (be it by the hands of the adversary, or what-not) I will repeat again unto the adversary that which I have already clearly had him know.... Thou hast drawn first blood. Vengeance is mine, and recompense. By the grace of The Creator, my God. Attilla....till we meet again. - Adedotun The Ikoro. |

My mum taught me that it does not matter how often you fall, what is important is to get up dust yourself and move on. Then one day she didn`t get out from bed. Fell into a coma. She remained that way almost twenty years. A shadow that hung over every joyful and every sorrowful event in my life. .. and the one faithful day she slipped away... I put a banner on her grave.. ...free at last, your free at last, thank God in heaven you are free at last. 2 Likes |

safarigirl: It hurts to meet or know that someone lost a loving mum! Even tho she's been long gone, I still consider you the luckiest girl alive because God gave you an angel as a mum. I wish I experienced such love from my own mum but no, I never did. Coming from a broken home (mum and dad separated when i was one), it seemed like I and my sister (mostly both of us) reminded my mum and my maternal grandma (RIP) of my dad since we took our dad since we both looked like my dad, hence the terrible treatment from my mum and maternal grandma. My mum is still alive but I don't really feel that much of a mother-son bond between us. I've forgiven her for all the terrible things she did to me, but its pretty hard forgetting. On the other hand, my paternal grandma was the best thing to ever happen to me. Later on, when I grew up, my dad told me I looked so much like my grand dad compared to my other siblings and cousins. This made me wonder if it was the reason my paternal grandma loved me to stupor. She never asks of anybody else apart from me. I was her best grandchild. When I spent some time with her as a kid, she never ate until I was completely filled. She did numerous things for me even at her old age. She never used harsh words on me (unlike my mother), she seems not at ease whenever I'm not close to her. I'm having tears drop down my eyes as am recalling all this. TO MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER: I love you so much granny. Never got to tell you this and I hope you know. You gave me the love I never got from my own mum. I wish you had stayed alive and I am well to do, I would have payed you back for all you did. I pray you made it to heaven because you were a very good woman. If the woman I'll end up with should love me half as much as you loved me, then I'm blessed. I wish I had spent enough time with you. Adiu mama... 2 Likes |
