Tribute by EmekaIhedioha: Farewell to my mother via thecableng
will linger on because, in good and bad times, she was always there for us. And speaking for myself, she was always there for me. In the 90 eventful years that Mama sojourned on Mother Earth, what marked her out was a rare combination of strength, resilience and adorable love. Her wisdom illuminated our paths. She was zestful in words and action. Even when Mama had her own challenges, she never allowed them to define or defeat her. She was the epitome of uncommon strength and unwavering courage.
My mother was a strict disciplinarian who ensured that the virtues of hard work, discipline and respect were inculcated in her children. It was therefore little wonder that as I grew up, I was always conscious of how disappointed Mama would feel if I took the wrong turn. Mama inspired me to live by the ideals of love and service to others. And that remains the guiding principles in the choices I make in both my personal and public life.
As my mother takes final steps into eternity, we take solace in the overwhelming outpouring of tributes from far and wide. The affection and love that have come our way after her passage have helped to relieve the pain. And we owe that to her too. Mama deepened the bedrock of all our relationships. It is a testament to the remarkable woman she was that she transcended all artificial boundaries that have held our country back. To many of our friends, she was their mother too.
