The minister who spoke during a church service organised for the deceased at the St. Theresa Catholic Church, Ubima said the death left a huge family responsibility on him as it would be difficult to combine both family and official responsibilities.
Amaechi said: “He has left us with a huge responsibility that I never imagined would be so soon to confront and a challenge that I lack the capacity to discharge.Chikamkpa, Lemchi, Obinna, Judith and I will find it difficult to come to terms with his death. We can only pray that Dede rests in the bosom of the Lord.
”Dede, as he was widely known, was generous to a fault. Dede was a name given to him by me in reverence to his ubiquitous care and fatherly role in our lives.He was everything to everybody and was full of life, he related with both the young and the old and got all his children educated.
”He protected all of us from the vagaries of the Nigerian society.
“He contributed to the payment of my school fees and ensured that we were not fatherless at the death of our father as he assumed the responsibilities of the family.He made my younger siblings complete their education and got them engaged in their different spheres of responsibilities,” Amaechi said.

Awww I know that feeling, my elder brother took over the family's responsibilities after our dad died, school fees, feeding, care etc.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss! Rest on Dede! To lose one's sibling or parent is a painful thing!
ReplyDeleteMay the soul of Dede and all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace
ReplyDeleteDeath is the most painful thing one can imagine. I wish God designed the death in such away that one must get to atleast 80 before death comes knocking. But it comes suddenly when one is not even prepared. My elder bros death still gives me shock till date, I pray God continue to heal and strengthen everyone passing through the pain of losing a loved one.RIP Deede.
ReplyDeleteOh so sad, I had goosebumps reading.
ReplyDeleteOga Rotimi be strong to continue,may God give your family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
RIP Dede.

ReplyDeleteThis got me all emosh,
ReplyDeleteRip Dede!
Family is so important to me.
RIP sir,so sorry for your loss sir
ReplyDeleteHow come they used the world DEDE and still claim not to be igbos? cos to the best of my knowledge, Dede means senior bros in imo, abia and some part of ebonyi state language
Don’t mind them. For political reasons they disclaim Igbos.
DeleteMust everything be about tribe? We speak English in Nigeria doesn't mean we're English people? There's an "Olu" in warri doesn't mean they're Yoruba people.
DeleteThat said RIP Dede... May your children benefit from the good seeds you sowed
