Ibidun Ighodalo: Tribute To The Beauty Queen


Beauty Queen, Ufuoma McDermott to Ibidun Ighodalo

"Sleep while I weep dear sister
You didn’t know me nor I you; but you loved me. I could go to sleep knowing you had my back.
Now it’s your turn to sleep. :

In 2002, Charlotte Essiet tormented me
Picked on me and made my experience on “Queen of all Nations” hell.
God sent you as chaperone to bring me strength and comfort.
Today, you sleep. :

You came to my room many nights to just hold me while I cried. I know you tried to get me to tell the pageant director all that was happening. I’m sorry I couldn’t. I was scared. You didn’t force me, simply smiled.
I can almost see that smile as you sleep. :

Even after the pageant, when I came 2nd, Charlotte was there; quick to point out that I didn’t win. What she didn’t realize is that you never left. You had celebrated me before the D day calling me “beautiful “ (Me?? �) and still continued to call me “My Queen”. Oh, my Ibidun , you didn’t tel me you were going to sleep. :

I’ve seen you replicate this over the years. Your life became an outreach. Not one person who has come in contact with you spews negative... unless they are like Charlotte Essiet.... You lived your life in service. You gave light and only love.
Today you have gone to sleep. :

Now for a change, you don’t have to serve. The angels will serve you. They will wait on you. Your babies will miss you. But they will learn and be proud of your legacy even as you sleep. :

I have loved you these 18 years sis. I have loved you. Your speech, your touch ... even when you styled me... it was always in love. And even now, I don’t know how to end this love. ❤️
Sleep my sister. : :

The world is burning. Too many sorry stories. Too much grief and hatred. In a last act of love; you bow out so we can all once again spread your love. ❤️
Sleep dearest Ibidun Ighodalo. Sleep well.
