Hello people, due to serious health reasons I will be signing off for a while. I HAD AN ABOVE THE KNEE AMPUTATION OF MY LEFT LEG ON WEDNESDAY at my own hospital in central London. The surgeon was my own son, which made it a bit comforting. The leg had been problematic for a long time and I had used all my knowledge and skill as an orthopaedic to managed it until now when it worsen, I was told two weeks ago that the leg is now almost dead and had to go.

I have performed this surgery on hundreds of people over a span of forty odd years, but still, it was mentally challenging waking up for the first time as an amputee. So I will be reading your posts when I can, but will be signing off for a while. You take care.

Get well Elder Eziachi

All the best.

Get well Sir. The Lord is your strenght

Stay and remain blessed. May the good Lord increase your health and make it easy for you.

But then, why would you sign off? I mean, your elderly touch is really needed here.

Get well soon Mazi Eziachi.

May Almighty God b with you.

Get Well Soon sir! God is in control!

Get well sir

Wishing you good recovery in Jesus Name. Your contributions here is like no other

Get well soon brother me.

You'll be as good as new in no time......just count your blessings and you'd realise you're still living a beautiful life!

Take care.

Lord be with you as you recover sir.

Oga Eziachi, so sorry to hear of your health challenge. Wishing you a speedy recovery and future sound health. Don't worry about NL. Take your time to heal physically and mentally. Even reading NL alone na stressful affair you may not need.

I would personally advice you to listen to jazz, enjoy your children, catch up on literature, film-watching or even write a memoir. Take care too.

I pray that God will grant you a speedy recovery (both physically and mentally) from your surgery. Amputee or not, you are still the same admirable man I've come to know over the past few years.

God be with u Sir.

Granpa Eziachi.

Physically getting old, mentally sound and young.

It's a pity, Nigeria didn't benefit much from your services and wealth of experience. Except for the little you offered Ndigbo in your early youth.

I don't blame you though, whiteman for the most part built you...and therefore reserves the right to enjoy you and all you have to offer.

We still love you!

You're somebody I respect so much and I know you'll bounce back as so many of us are always looking forward to ur contributions here and the society in general. My utmost respect as you recuperate and the Lord will surely guide you through

Keep the spirits up sir. Your contributions will be sorely missed during the planned period of inactivity.

Wishing you all the best recuperating sir,
Get well soon,
Keep soldiering on and permission to go to the other side, DENIED!

You'll be back in no time. Get well soon. I wish you a very speedy recovery.

Mazi Eziachi, the Lord is your strength. Get well sir.

I will miss your elderly wise contributions and instructions as it pertains to Ndigbo Focus and Re-alignment Strategy.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a manageable and happy life as an amputee. God bless.

God be with you as always especially during this period. Gbawe's advise was so on point. God bless you sir. It is well with you amen

Sad to hear about the leg, I hope and pray you recover from this a happier being, take your time, we will miss you here.

Nwanne m, May God grant you the quickest recovery from the surgery. Chinua Achebe did not stop living or go into hibernation after he had an accident which rendered him wheelchair bound. I expect nothing less from you sir, we hope you return to NL after a full recovery, very soon.

Sir, May the lord be with you.

It's a challenging period no doubt but always remember that the grace of God is sufficient and will surely see you through. Look around you and count your blessings, notwithstanding the amputation. I have no doubt that you'll bounce back and continue to enrich the discourse on this forum. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

sorry sir for your health problem.may jehovah rapha heal you and make you strong again.o ga adicha mma na aha jisos! amen. it is well.....

oh I'm in short of words to express how I feel, that brother with two legs will from now become an amputee. Lord only u know why!, I have no questions.

Brother Eziachi the good Lord will be ur strength in this transitional period of ur life.We love u.
