Sometimes, when I ponder on the ominipresent, ominipotent and ominiscient God Almighty, I wonder why He created man to die!

Otherwise, people like Okwadike Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife CON, should live forever!

With heavy hearts but profound gratitude to God Almighty for a life well spent, Eminent Elders Forum, celebrates the life and times of His Excellency, Okwadike Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife CON.

Okwadike Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife CON, was a leader like no other.

He was a burning and shining light whose life was Extraordinarily Impactful.

He was a man of Character, Conscience, Principles and Consistency.

The unforgettable enigma, Okwadike Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife CON, was an indefatigable defender of the down trodden, a veritable conscience of our country Nigeria, an undisputed voice of the voiceless, a charismatic emancipator, a core Igbo man but yet a true and highly committed, detribalized and very patriotic Nigerian Nationalist

Okwadike Ndigbo Gburugburu, the Akintolugboye of Egba Land and the Garkuwan Fika, was a self made man under God Almighty.

A fearless true advocate of the best for Nigeria and the black race as a whole, that always say truth to powers that be, a man of the people, a very distinguished motivator, an outstanding mentor, an unrepentant peace maker, a highly gifted bridge builder across the country Nigeria, a father to many, an epitome of simplicity and an embodiment of humility.

Okwadike Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife CON, you were indeed a motivational trailblazer, a visible colossus, a courageous pathfinder, very punchy in your advocacy for inclusive governance, equity, fairness and justice in Nigeria, but yet as harmless as a dove.

Okwadike Ndigbo Nine, you have fought a good fight for humanity. You have run and completed your race with good and clear conscience.

Let the crown of glory be rightly fitted on your head in heavenly places forever!

Eminent Elders Forum shall greatly and forever miss you.

Your family, friends and associates shall miss you.

Nigeria, Africa and humanity in general shall miss you.

May your gentle soul continually find eternal peace in the bosom of the Most High Lord God Almighty.

Good night Okwadike!
