Anambra –
The remains of the  four members of the  Ezebuala family, who were  victims of the Kano bomb blasts on July 29, were on Thursday buried  at Uga Community.Uga is in the  Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra.The atmosphere was characterised by wailing and grief as the corpses of the victims were brought for final commendation service at the church.The deceased were Nnamdi Ezebuala (48) and his three children: Chinemerem (14), Chiamaka (12) and Nmesomachukwu (10).

They were killed when Boko Haram sect members launched bomb attacks simultaneously at various points on two busy roads in the Sabongari area of Kano.Gov. Peter Obi, who could not hold back his tears, described the incident as “a national calamity’’.
Obi said that Anambra had faced similar ugly incidents in years past when Anambra indigenes were slaughtered in various parts of the North by Boko Haram insurgents. He expressed dismay at the level of destruction of lives and property in various parts of the North.The governor said that his administration had fought to ensure security of lives and property, “which has made Anambra  State a beautiful place for local and foreign investors’’.

The governor urged the Ezebuala family and the people of Uga to bear the irreparable loss with fortitude.He said that government would take over the welfare of the wife of the deceased and her two surviving children.Speaking during the service, the ‘Commanding Officer’ of Uga Corps of the Salvation Army, Maj. Emeka Ezechukwu, described the death of the victims as manifestation of the love of God towards those who loved Him. Ezechukwu said that the victims as children of God met their death in the house of God, where they had gone to worship God. He noted Nnamdi Ezebuala and his children were strong members of the church, whose commitment were fervent. The cleric prayed God to grant them eternal rest.

The Chairman of Uga Democratic Vanguard, Chief Peter Okala, thanked the governor for finding time to come to commiserate with the people of Uga and the Ezebuala family. Okala said that the Uga Community had been over-shadowed by anguish and tears since the death of the Ezebualas.He, however, prayed God to grant the departed souls eternal rest and for God to grant the family of the deceased fortitude to bear the loss.
The Founder of Konigin Des Friedens, Uga, Monsgr. John-Bosco Akam, where Chinemerem was a student, described his death as national tragedy that had affected the lives of the young generation. (NAN)

RIP TO the Dead
But if your presence in nolonger needed in a place and you are still there doing only God knows what, then be ready to bear the collateral damage.
This is not just a Governor issues only others have been killed and are still been killed.

When the SE people make their region uninhabitable they shouldn't be surprised when their people troop to other people's land like refugees and get slaughtered like chickens once in a while. I hope the leaders of the region do something fast about that.

RIP to the dead.

He should have buried them a week to Anambra gubernatorial election and use the opportunity to remind HIS people how other Nigerians hated them while reassuring them that APGA is their saviour.

Chaiii..R I P 2 the dead

Fidelity Crocodile Tears

Please Mr Peter Obi and all the Southeast and South South governor, Fix our home so your people, brother, sisters, family and friend will no longer suffer death by the hand of sadist, ridicule, racism, bigotry and insult from people who obviously don't see us as part of the "One Nigeria" ideology.

wise!!

.........

Rip to the dead

I do not understand why any sane non-northerner should remain in the north.

The killings of non-indigenes have gone on for too long in the north.

Ibos should all RELOCATE from the north till sanity returns there.

Any man that insists on staying behind should do so (maybe due to business or investment reasons) but send his wife and kids back to the west or east.

You're breaking Rule 11:Don't create distracting posts e.g. posts in giant fonts or ALL CAPS .
Besides, it shows you're shouting ?
Make your point and leave without using Caps lock okay.

sad news

Willgates:

this northern Muslims and bad grammar sha!

see person wey dey yarb person....'may their souls fine eternal rest'
Na your own grammar correct ba

..very painful..cus only the person dat wear the shoe knws how painful it is to lost love one..not even 1...4 for that matter....may God help us

So sad that even Obi's family could not find happiness in his state.

Even Akpabio's family lives in Lagos, when they have the option of living like a royal family in Akwa Ibom.

If even these rich and well connected people flee the SE, we should be more understanding when we see their destitute flood other regions.

RIP to d dead, dats d price we are paying for 1 Nigeria, 1 Nigeria wia beasts and human are eating in one plate, for d air heads asking y they are nt in dia Region, please do ur one nigeria only define sharing of oil wealth? Wot happened to free movement? A 1 nigeria wia every tribe is subjected to be in his region but share other people's resources is a bastard 1 Nigeria, we rather go our separate ways dan dxv ourselves.

Let the yorubas in PH enjoying oil money also go back to ekiti and farm! Abi d ones that went t north to buy ewa oloyin and wia massacred not yorubas? Please enof of this blame game, after all awolowo and Gowon fought tooth and nail to bring igbos back, so y tel them to stay in dia region?
