night. Uchechi Olivia Ihionu unexpectedly pass away at the age of.
Uchechi was a lovely and vibrant daughter who has been taken away too
early and so sudden. She was my mother. She was my favorite. Uchechi
just got engaged to a young handsome gentleman she so much loved. We
were all looking forward to the wedding this December.
She announced to the world her engagement and on daily basis reminds all the joy of being in love.
Here was a child who had it all. Beautiful,
intelligent and virtuous. Her smile would melt steal – her laughter
could wake the dead. Back with two masters decree from England, she
served in the CBN Abuja with distinction and was so hopeful of an
employment offer from the organization.
She had a lovely family – blessed tremendously
in every facet. Trained from her first cry to blossoming to be great.
She had it all covered. The world was at her feet. Literally nothing
would stop her.
She was my photographer last Wednesday during
my brother’s inauguration. And a million pictures she took for me. There
and then was the last sweet smiles offered
Her last post yesterday on Facebook was some
pictures and her sad expressions on the family poisoning death in Okija.
Never did she know our first post the next day would be of her own
death.
The very last of many comments she made on the family picture I posted yesterday was “My people…My Family…”
Was she saying Goodbye?
We cannot know for certain how long we have
here. Did she had a premonition? Of recent she was so powerfully
prayerful. Exuding gratia.”
