Chichi,
We first met at Irawo Boys club in Agbowo as primary schoolers, where we spent Saturdays performing science  experiments and playing soccer. We reconnected at UI when we ended up in the same class. We were roommates in our final year and project partners in the final year group project. Your brilliance was key to the success of the project.

I remember our service year when I came to your office in VI. You gave me your application to NBL to submit at Iganmu, which was close to my office in Sabo-Yaba. I almost missed the submission deadline!

I remember visiting you at Green Springs hotel in Ibadan where you stayed as a trainee engineer while at NBL Ibadan. I remember meeting up with you and Chidi at NBL Iganmu for drinks on Fridays. Good times when we gisted about all sorts and reminisced about UI. I remember when my dad passed away, you were in Ibadan then. You came to the house and took me for a drive around Ibadan. You wanted to get me away from the house and cheer me up, it helped!
I am glad that we kept in touch, even though we did not get to see each other often.

Since your passing, I have talked to people that knew you in various capacities and listened to  people speak about you. Your goodness comes through in all they say, and I know the impact you had on them will not be forgotten.

You are a good person. You have been a great friend, generous, honest, kind, and sincere. You will be missed.

I pray that God comforts your entire family at this time.

Eternal Rest grant unto Chinemerem O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May your Soul rest in peace.

It was so long ago. 
Back during our years as teenagers in high school. 
You were the best of persons, gentle and kind. 
Nineteen ninety-two was the last time we saw.
We all went our different ways and lost touch, 
assuming we would see as we grew older, 
perhaps at a reunion or at some location, 
not to know it was the final time.

We all reconnected in our later years, 
trying to fill in the blanks and catch up with each other... 
and then the search for Chi-Chi began.
In our minds we thought we were so close, 
only to find we were now so far, 
your demise it broke a lot of hearts.

Your friend(s) and old family from Suleja, 
it's sad we never got to meet the new you, 
the grown you or get to meet your loved ones.
We pray for them, for Gods strength to abound.
You will forever be in our hearts, 
and our prayers are for your gentle soul; 
that the angels above watch over you 
as you walk into eternal light.

Adieu Old Friend.

Amimi (Adam) Osayande

Kelechi and Filomena,

Our sincere condolences to you and your families.  May the love that you shared with your brother continue to light your path and guide his wife and children.  

Gifty, Oheneba & Family🙏🏿

Chinemerem was like a big brother to me. We were neighbors in Ibadan when i was in secondary school. He would drop us off or pick us up from school when we had to car pool. He was also the one we would go to fix the control pads of our video game back then. I am really sad, but I am consoled knowing that it is only your earthly journey that has come to an end and your journey to heaven has commenced. You will always be a big brother to me. Rest in peace, till we meet again.
Olisa

May your soul rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ and May He give your family the fortitude to bear this painful loss. Sleep on.

Nonye, I know things are difficult right now and it will take time for you to get over how you feel. However I need you to take consolation in the fact that Chi is in heaven (where he can do much more for you and kids).
He was ready to meet our Lord and was at peace when I saw him.  Consequently, I have no doubt that he is in heaven.
I will continue to pray to our Lord and Lady to help you and the kids now and always.

Irene

Our deepest condolences to the entire family, our pray for you  is for comfort at this most difficult time.


Garcia-Sicilia Family

If you ever met Big Neme as I fondly called him, you’d know that he was a Rare gem. He was so pure at heart, Loved unconditionally, A jolly good fellow ,He was an absolute Angel.

You were more than an inlaw to me. You were my Friend, Confidant, my Big Brother and my biggest cheerleader. You always gave me your shoulder to cry on, Never judged or condemned me, I would never forget the impact you had on my self esteem. I am Bold and better because you believed in me.

You thought me with your actions that I should always make excuses for people as there was no manual to life and everyone was experiencing life for the first time. You taught me Patience and Grace whilst setting healthy boundaries.

I will miss your Words of Wisdom, your great sense of humour, I will miss you calling me “Janded chic”😊, I will miss your teasing, I will miss and forever cherish the memories we shared.❤️

Though you may no longer be physically with us, your spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved you. Your memory will forever be a beacon of light in my life, guiding me through the darkness and reminding me of the love you gave.

You were an Incredible Human, thank you for blessing my life with your Presence. You will forever hold a place in my heart.

Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord. With all my Love, Respect and Gratitude 🙏 

Your Janded Chic❤️

Dear Nonye,

Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear about this devastating loss. I only met Chinemerem at your wedding and he radiated so much joy and awesomeness. May you find comfort and peace in the memories you have and the love you shared. May God give you and amazing children the strength and fortitude you need in this time of grief. Take heart knowking that Chinemerem is now at rest and with God.

THIS IS A VERY SAD ONE. BACK THEN IN LG3, YOU ALWAYS GAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER.  THE FEW TIMES I HAD TO MEET OR CHAT WITH YOU STILL FLASHES SINCE I GOT THIS SAD NEWS.

I PRAY THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE AND THAT OUR GOD WILL CONSOLE THE FAMILY THAT YOU HAVE LEFT BEHIND, TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE AND KIDS IJN AMEN

The loss of Chinemerem hit hard but it was great knowing you. I was always impressed by your calm, clear headed approach to things.
My condolences and prayers go to all his loved ones. 
Rest in peace Chinemerem!

Accept my condolences dear Nonye. May the  who helped you fought like a hero during his life struggles still give you the strength to carry on and take care of your kids, now that he’s gone. God will never stay far away from you. His grace will always be around you to strengthen you my dear sister. It’s well with his soul. Amen.

Chi, 

How much can one say here to reflect you? My goodness! Chi, your passing has left me almost speechless for days. But no, I said to myself. Chi would not want this. Whenever I reflect on the joy you radiated each time we spoke in the last few months, I am reminded of your affirmation that only God knows the next steps in our journeys through life and into eternity. You fought a great fight Chi, you never gave up. I am indeed proud of you my dear friend and I am sure your family even has more compelling reasons to be too.
It's been over 30 years since we first met as "Jambite" teenagers in UI. After all the trekking and toils on campus, coming back to Irawo in the evenings was always an opportunity to catch up on the day's activities and unwind. Since leaving school, you've played an unparalleled role in my life. You would travel to great lengths to be with me on various occasions. You were my Bestman at my wedding almost 19 years ago now and you've never been far away from my family. No amount of words can describe your unequivocal generosity, especially with your time and advise. My son still remembers all your inspiring words to him last summer when you spoke to him on the phone. Chi, we are missing you already but take solace in the fact that you left a beautiful aroma here on earth and that you are now with God. 
God will protect your family and grant them the strength to move on successfully as you would wish for them.

Rest In Peace Chi.

It is with great sadness that we write this condolence note. Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of Chinemerem. Just as his life touched your life in a way that nothing could, so has his loss. May you find comfort and peace in the memories you have and the love you shared. You all are in our thoughts as you pass through this dark valley. Take heart knowking that Chinemerem is with God. 

We love you all and are praying for you all.

The Seldons ♥️♥️

I'd like to condole with you and the kids as you mourn your husband and father of your kids, death is a fate that awaits all mortals even though we don't want an early death, I hope you find strength to fulfill his and your dreams and visions for the kids. Such a terrible news.

Chichi,
I still remember meeting you for the first time as a Jambite in UI and as your roommate at Irawo - that was over 30 years ago. Since then our friendship grew to being like unidentical twins, partners in adventures always filled with fun and laughter.
Our careers saw us follow different paths but I will always cherish our weekly rendezvous at NBL Lagos where we had so many rich conversations about life, office politics, love etc.
You were always there for me at key moments in my life, I tried to do the same for you. You never judged me when I shared decisions you didn't understand, you just asked "Chido are you sure?" and then stood by me. You were always a good, loyal and faithful friend and brother. 
Even though I was unable to be at your wedding, you were my bestman just 3 weeks later. I'm indebted to Nonye for releasing you to travel so many miles soon after your wedding. 
Nonye and Taye have become friends through our friendship, and it's going to continue despite your exit.
Chisco, we are trusting God for strength as you have left a huge void in our lives. I've already asked you how the other side is, it's tough here without you. Greatful to God for the memories and your legacy that lives on in Nonye and the children.

Chidi Okwuegbuna

Gone
From our sight,
 but never from our hearts. 
Chichi,  We all love you but God loves you more
Rest in peace  until we meet again. 

From 
Dele Nwosu

You were a great man!! You will be greatly missed. Rest on sir!!

In this time of loss, I pray that you find comfort in God's loving embrace. Lean on Him for strength and solace. I extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. May God's love and healing touch bring you peace.

-Demowah

Chi-chi my brother! I am still trying to rap my head around your demise, yet it does not make sense to me, the more I think about it, the more confused and hopeless I become. it is very difficult for me to believe that you are no more. Death is really a necessary end.

Chi-Chi, I remembered our discussion when Prof. Canice Nwosu (Dee Canny), passed, you and I were so concerned and confused as well, that our most trusted cousin had passed on, and little did I know that you were going to be the next; my most beloved, respectful, and jovial brother. You always engage me with questions about the army, the tanks, weapons, deployments, jets, and with their different names. Now, I do not have anyone to engage me again.

Chi-Chi, you were truly one in a million, my brother. I am not sure this will be easy, because you meant a lot to our family, and the whole world. I love you my brother. May your soul rest in the bosom of the Lord peacefully. Amen.
Your brother,
Chijioke Nwosu.

Chinemerem my Man!
You were a jolly good fellow. I will always cherish the memories we shared with you. Our numerous fun visits to Ama brewery with the family. Kamsi, your God son, will surely miss you. He always looks forward to his God Father's visit. You were like a brother. You have fought the good fight and God knows, you gave it your best shot. Rest in peace my Man. You will surely be missed.
I will always cherish the wonderful moments my family and I shared with you. Be  assured of our continued prayers for your repose and for the well being of Chinonye and the Kids.
Adieu.

Dear Chi chi,

We were short of words on hearing the news of your demise. You were filled with so much information (you always had an answer to every question). We cannot question God, but take solace in the fact that you have gone to rest where there is no pain.

We would forever cherish the little time you spent with us in Barcelona (telling us funny stories and making us laugh all the time).

There are no goodbyes from us, wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts.

Keep resting in the bossom of the LORD until we meet to part no more!

With love from
Uche, Uchechi and Anselm.

Oh My Brother, Friend and Neighbour, How I have looked forward to seeing you again either at home or abroad someday in the near future, only to see the announcement of your sudden transition with a shock. 

You were always patient to teach and carry others along. In fact, I appreciated electrical and power processes even as a layman while we worked together for our LG3 estate in Lagos Nigeria. Interestingly, what impacted me more was your excellent and very rare attitude to others and things of life. You never got angry except where there was injustice or falsehood and it showed that those were the things that bring out anger in a guy that was ever calm regardless of the pressure or challenges.

Brother, this one touched us deep because you had so much knowledge and capacity inside of you. An asset to any organization or group that had you on their side and I was so confident you will excel in Canada when you personally called me to tell me your family were relocating. I was so honoured by that call and it gladdened my heart that you thought so much of me as not just a neighbour but also a friend. 

May the Almighty God comfort and grant Nonye and the entire family the fortitude to bear this glorious transition. 

Adieu Engineer! Rest on my brother because your impact and footprints will remain with us all in the course of our pilgrimage.

I remember Chinamerem as a kind and patient person who seemed unflappable in a crisis. Mostly, I remember him as incredibly good-natured, which one particular incident exemplified. Years ago, when I was visiting from England, Chinamerem came to see my dad driving a very good-looking sports car. His younger brother, Chibex, asked several times to drive it but was rebuffed understandably each time. After a while and out of the eyesight of everyone Chibex sneaked into the car and proceeded to crash it, causing a big commotion, and I think damaging the car irreparably.  However, whilst everyone else was mad at Chibex, Chinamerem was not. He was only concerned about the welfare of his brother and made sure that he was okay. He said something along the lines of the car can always be replaced.

I'm sick that this sort of kind, caring person has been taken away from his family, friends and kindred. A terrible loss. 

Obinna Nwosu

My sincere condolences to the wife and the children, may the good Lord console and strengthen the family.

Our dearly beloved Engr. Chinemerem, we love you, but God loves you more. Keep on resting in the bosom of your Maker till the day of Resurrection.

You are one of the most forthright persons I have met in this my little journey on earth. You will say it as it’s, no matter who is offended by the truth. Your patience to listen and explain things to everyone, even in the face of provocation, is exceptional. Your work and your impact in our community, Lekki Gardens 3 can never be forgotten in the years to come.

I pray the good Lord will comfort, uphold, and strengthen the family you left behind. May the Lord grant your family the fortitudes to bear this irreplaceable loss.

To Sis. Chinonye, I pray you find solace in the Almighty God that you serve. The Lord will be with you and your children. The Lord blesses and keeps you and your children. The Lord makes His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May He lift His countenance upon you and give you all round peace in Jesus Christ name. Amen.

Gabriel Adeeyo.

What a great loss to the LG3 family!
A selfless and loving  neighbour, you labour of love would never be forgotten in our community.

To the lovely wife & children in this time of loss and grief, all will be well.
Please take hearth.  God will console you and strengthen you.

Dear Nonye,

As I read through his biography, it became evident that he lived a  truly remarkable life, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever hold a special place in your hearts. 

During this challenging time, may God grant you and your family the comfort and strength needed to bear the grief. Please know that my thoughts are with you, and I will keep your husband in my prayers for the repose of his soul.

May the loving memories you shared bring solace and warmth to your hearts in the days ahead.

With deepest sympathy,

This is so hard to comprehend.....
This is so hard to understand.........
This is so painful.....
Still in shock since I heard this sad news.....

Rest on my brother till we meet at the resurrection.

Dear Chichi, 
It  is difficult to come to terms with the reality of your demise.  Who are we to question God whom it pleases to take you at this prime time of your life. 
The entire family are broken hearted when the news of your death came to us.
May God console your wife and children and grant us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Uchechi and Iyke Nwosu and family.

My dear Nonye,  

I can't begin to imagine the pain and sense of loss, but please take heart, my dear sister, and hold dearly to the fond memories and the precious gift of the wonderful years you shared together.

Chinemerem was truly blessed. He lived a blessed life and left this world surrounded by so much love and prayers in his last moments. May we all be blessed to go with so much peace.

Courage! God's most holy and lovable will has prevailed. And now, you have your very own guardian angel! May you be steeped in faith, strength, and peace.🙏🏾

May Chinemerem's soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!🙏🏾

Hugs and kisses!

Chisco my brother. You were one in a million. One of the smartest guys I know. Thank you for your friendship in school, you were our leader during our final year project, we would not have made it without you. I was honoured to be your best man at your wedding. I am sorry we couldn't spend more time these past few years. We your friends will support your family where we can. 
God bless you and may your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
