@aboh_christian in his Twitter handle wrote this poem is his honour

When there is "Sunset at Dawn"
We anticipate "Toads for Supper"
Based on "Expo 77"
Now there is no "Potter's Wheel" in Ndikelionwu
This has made "The Naked Gods"
To be like "The Bottled Leopard"
"Our Children Are Coming Home"
To pay their last respect to Pa Chukwuemeka Ike

RIP

Hope he was honored while still alive, his contributions to Nigeria are immense
