A Giant of A Man

Alfred Ugochukwu Nwosu left an indelible mark on lives of countless people who loved and were loved by him in his 66 years on this side of eternity.

Born on the 2nd of October 1957 to Mr. Stephen and Mrs. Gladys Nwosu of blessed memory in Lagos, he was the middle child of the family. Loved by his siblings Mr. Osita Nwosu (RIP), Ambassador Okwudili Nwosu, Dr. Azikiwe Nwosu, Mr. IK Nwosu, Mrs Herty Obi and Mr. Chukwudi Nwosu, Alfred was secure in the love and unity that bound them all together.

That love and care expanded to include the love of his life Uche (nee Ezeani), who he met and married in Enugu in 1993. It multiplied boundlessly to envelop their much loved sons Ifenna and Somto. A very private man, Alfred was fiercely protective of his loving family. Alfie, as he was fondly called by his devoted wife, will be deeply missed indeed!

Alfred’s towering figure belied his gentleness, a giant of a man with a cautious, soft mien. He was a highly principled person, considerate of others and honest in his interactions with all. He treated everyone alike with respect and kindness, regardless of their station in life. He will be sorely missed!

Alfred made friends for life. Relationships formed in early years, in his time at Christ the King College Onitsha (1970-1975) and at University of Nigeria (1977-1981), remained lifelong friends. He was loyal to the core and supportive of his friends.

As a Mass Communication graduate (B.A. Hons), Alfred had a fulfilling career. He was a registered practitioner in Advertising (RPA APCON) and in Public Relations (MNIPR). He served the public at various levels on the Council of APCON (2002 - 2004); as the Chairman of the Anambra State Library Board (2006 - 2012); Chairman of Anambra State Broadcasting Service (ABS, 2008 - 2012); Chairman of Anambra State Newspaper Corporation (2008 -2012) and with the South East Zonal Communications team,National Council on Privatisation (2000 - 2005), as a Project Manager.

He was also active politically and was a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) where he had served at a time Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party and by virtue of the position, a member of the National Working Committee as well as the National Executive Committee of the party.

In his career in the private sector, Alfred was dependable and exemplary as the Executive Director of Reads & Mark Ltd for nearly four decades up to his passing in August 2024. Up until his death, he was a Board member of the Innoson Group, supervising the Group Industrial and External Relations, Corporate Communications and Affairs. He will be deeply missed by colleagues, employees and the many clients, with whom he had formed meaningful and lasting relationships.

Alfred was an avid reader, most especially books of historical and political nature. Reading was a favourite pastime for him, close on the scale with watching his favourite football game with a cold beer in tow!

Alfred’s altruistic nature endeared him to many a widow, the downtrodden, the friend in need. What a blessing he was! His faith in God was evident in his actions and in a quiet trust that the Almighty God is Supreme. Rest in the Bosom of the Lord, Alfred.

Unshakeable in his belief that life was designed to be simple and uncluttered, Alfred chose and lived a simple, contented life. Undaunted by new technologies, he chose as utilitarian a lifestyle as reason would permit!

As a young man, Alfred was unmoved and uninterested by the massive surge away from our shores in search for El Dorado or need for lofty titles. He was simply, Alfred. He remained true to himself and to his beliefs, staying grounded in his love for his homeland and was a fervent advocate for the development of the minds and latent capabilities of our people. Rest in Peace, Compatriot!

Alfred will be sorely missed indeed. The memory of his presence, contemplative visage and resounding yet still voice will live on, in all that knew and loved him.

May the memory of Alfred Ugochukwu Nwosu, be a blessing indeed!

Adieu Uncle Alfie. You are a big and treasured part of my childhood. We always knew you were around even before we saw you - that voice, the rich laughter that came with your company, or the classic 505 in the driveway.
I grew up but I never forgot, so in addition to paying my respects, I want to thank you for being that cool, generous and dependable Uncle… the best really.
You are fondly remembered and will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace now and always Uncle🙏🏾🕊️

We are devastated, we were all hopeful that he would pull through slowly but surely. In his typical way he had assured us that he was on his way to recovery and then the deafening silence...this is very, very sad 😥 but we cannot question God we simply accept His perfect will for Alfredo.

Alfred Nwosu was a great soul who valued family and friends. He was a voice of reason and caution, great company, dependable....we will cherish the times we spent with him, he will be solely missed but his memories will be etched in our hearts.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Uche, the children, his siblings and the entire Nwosu family in these dark and painful times. May God's ever present love and the outpouring of love from family and friends console you all. We pray that God keeps you firmly rooted in Him as you look unto Him who is the author and finisher of our faith. Accept our deepest condolences.

To us his friend and buddies, we have lost a dear friend and
brother. May God console us all. It is difficult to say goodbye rather we ask you to rest peacefully until the resurrection morning.
May the soul of Alfred Nwosu and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.May perpetual light shine on them, may they rest in peace. Amen.

Auntie Uche, Ifenna, and Somtochukwu. Know that Uncle Alfred loved you so dearly.

You have given him so much fulfillment in life and filled him with great pride with not only just your excellent achievements, at home and abroad, also the love that a parent and husband cherished.

I am sorry for this loss, as none of us expected this. I wish all of us could be there, but my mother will be there with you.

TRIBUTE TO ALFRED "ALFIDEEN" UGOCHUKWU NWOSU

On behalf of my wife, Chichi and family, I wish to commiserate with you, your children and the entire family on the passing away of your dear beloved husband and very good friend, Alfred Ugochukwu Nwosu who I fondly call Alfideen.
I first met Alfideen about 45 years ago through our mutual friend, Hon. Patty Ubajaka when we were all students at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Alfideen had a reserved personality, a realist with a probing mind, conversant with emerging social and political topics and a deep knowledge of intrigues and exploits of the civil war. We became friends, with common understanding, appreciation of issues, humanist ideals, mutual respects, trust and supported each other through challenges. Of course, I also became friends with his brothers, first Ike Nwosu and much later, Ambassador Odi Nwosu and some of his pals and other relations.
Our friendship blossomed further between 1985 and 1988 when as a young Engineer I went to supervise the Construction of Infrastructural Facilities for the Nigerian Air Force Base, Kano under the Ministry of Defence. Through our mutual friend in Kano, Obiora Zeus Uzowulu, I reunited with Alfideen and his Partner Willie Norum during their working business trips to Kano under Reads & Mark as budding enterprising Public Relations practitioners, hence his preference of calling me Alhaji Agbogidi. Subsequently, Alfideen always visited me whenever I travelled to Enugu although our arrangements for reciprocal visits to your residence were unsuccessful. In 2013 during my tenure as the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transport, Alfideen came with Chief Innocent Chukwuma, Innoson Motors, to pay a courtesy call on the Honourable Minister and promote the locally manufactured vehicles.
When I learnt of his health challenges, I first visited your residence on March 30, 2024 to personally see Alfideen. Coincidentally, His Excellency, Dr. Nkem Okeke and Chuma Mbonu were also visiting and we had an unforgettable interaction with Alfideen as he was mentally alert. The next day, Easter Sunday, I visited again with my wife Chichi and she had a prayer session with Alfideen as you were recovering from the Vigil Mass and he even gave me a bottle of Champagne to break the Lenten fast. It is with nostalgia that I recall that in mid July, my wife, Chichi had reminded me that we needed to talk to Alfideen which we did not do until his call to glory.
We give absolute thanks and praise to the Almighty God for the great life and legacies of your dear husband, friend and father, Alfred Ugochukwu "Alfideen" Nwosu. Only the Almighty God can sufficiently console and comfort you and your children and the entire family.
May Almighty God continue to Bless, Guide, Sustain, Protect and Empower you all in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. May his gentle and kind soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.
Please accept our condolences and best regards always.
Sincerely Yours,

It is with profound sadness and heavy heart that I make this effort for a tribute. Indeed, words fail me!
I am still struggling to comprehend the shocking news of your demise on the 7th of August 2024, just when we thought we had a ray of hope.
Hmmm, like we always say, may God's will be done in our lives. Obviously, this is God's will for you, Uncle Alfie, as we fondly call you. You fought a good fight, ezigbommadu. You were a man who lived with honesty, integrity, generosity, and a sense of purpose that inspired everyone who knew you. You will forever be in our hearts. We love you, but God loves you more.
I have no doubts that you are in a better place with our maker due to your good deeds on earth. Fare thee well. May your gentel soul rest in perfect peace in the bossom of the ALMIGHTY in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. We miss you so much already.....

Uncle Alfred was a good man. I remember when he first came to visit me and my family when I was young and treated me with love and compassion. He also helped to support my dad when he had stroke. I thank God for your life and I pray that you rest in peace with God in heaven.

We will forever cherish his countless contributions, remarkable achievements, and unwavering loyalty to our organization. Mr. Nwosu's legacy will endure through the indelible impact he has left on the growth and success of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing. His spirit, his passion, and his unwavering commitment to excellence will continue to inspire and guide us as we honor his memory and uphold the standards he set.


To his family, we extend our deepest condolences during this difficult time. We share in your grief, and we express our profound gratitude for sharing such an incredible individual with us. May the memories of Mr. Alfred Nwosu bring you comfort and solace in the days ahead.


I therefore urge everyone he has left behind to remember Mr. Nwosu not only for his professional achievements but also for the exceptional human being he was. His departure leaves a void that can never be filled, but we will forge ahead, inspired by his remarkable legacy, and continue to strive for greatness in his honor.


Rest in eternal peace, dear friend and colleague, Mr. Alfred Nwosu. You will be deeply missed, but your impact will forever be cherished.

The Mighty Alfred
I met Alfred in January 1998 as I am involved with his wife’s younger sister, Oby my wife. We immediately hit it off and he took me under his wings with profound passion and indescribable love.. As my wife and I live abroad it was Mighty Alfred, as I fondly call him, that played a pivotal role in the organisation of both my Traditional and Christian marriages in December 1999 and June 2000 respectively. Both events were excellent and he attended with lots of his friends grandiosely. He has ever since meeting him till his passing treated my wife and I with kindness and respect. Mighty Alfred’s place in Enugu has been a home to us and an assuring good reason to visit Nigeria, to spend time with him and hear his gentle soft voice as he spoke wisely on numerous subjects.

Life has a fated vortex that draws us mortals, in due course we will all transit through its central pull onto an alone silent way. Mighty Alfred’s has gone onto the silent way, in courage and on a journey he must take alone. Though we may not see him, yet he lives on, his smiles, his kindness, his loyalty, his dependability, (his word you can take to the bank) his soft and gentle voice cannot be undone in our minds and memories. The Mighty Alfred’s echo is whispering softly down the ways and we hear it clearly, of happy times, of laughing times, of bright and sunny days together. These cannot be undone.

Oh, let the tears of those who grieve dry, for Mighty Alfred loved beyond this world, and love does not die, as death cannot kill what is immortal. Mighty Alfred’s love is indelible in my heart and hearts of many. I/we have nothing but good memories of smiles happiness, bliss and warmth as his afterglow.

Oh, Mighty Alfred, your life is done; alas not really for in the dimness of your afterglow shines out elan finesse of you in Ifenna and Somtochukwu, your sons and protégées, in whom healthy prolific seeds of you fully dwells; we behold their blazing brightness as these new suns arise. Your life of love is a journey in continuum and life goes on as you travel on, let it be well with you.

Oh, Mighty Alfred, husband to my sister, Uche, and my friend. I know you must go, as you have so many things to see and do, but we are thankful we had some good years with you. You gave us much love and we thank you for the love that you have shown. we grieve, for grieve we must, but I know it is only for a while that we must separate, so I treasure your memories within my heart. And when the time comes, I come on the silent way alone, please greet me with a smile and a 'Welcome Home'.

Mighty Alfred you live in my heart, I remember you vividly, you will never die to me.

To you my sister, Uche, and your children Ifenna and Somtochukwu, I pray that the Lord God keep you and grant you the needed fortitude to carry on.

The Mighty Alfred my brother and friend farewell till we meet again.

Alfred Nwosu, A Great Soul, Takes A Bow

When my phone rang one bright morning in April, nothing suggested that my friend Alfred Ugochukwu Nwosu was on the verge of exiting a world in which he had been a positive force to all who knew or interacted with him. But my anxiety level shot up the moment we started talking. He had been meaning to call me for a long time. I had sent him text and email messages to which no responses had come. (He was not into Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, and all of that). Alfred said he would start with a short story.

He was belatedly reading my tribute to our mutual friend Jika Attoh, the ace broadcaster, who had died in October 2023 aged 67 years, and smiling broadly. His wife who was watching him asked why he was grinning from ear to ear. Replying, he said: “I am reading Chuks’ tribute to Jika and laughing because he has no inkling that, pretty soon, he will have to write my own obituary.” I was taken aback on hearing this. “What are you talking about?” I asked.

Alfred explained that he had been in poor health for quite some time. “If you see me now,” he said, “I have shrunk to half my size. The illness is why you haven’t heard from me for some time. But, today, I said I must call you.” When I commented on his strong voice, he countered that it was about the only aspect of his regular self that hadn’t taken a battering. I listened dumbfounded as Alfred detailed his condition and the measures he was taking in a valiant struggle to return to wholeness. I did an impromptu prayer for him and, from then on, phoned him at least once each week to monitor his state.

Early in July, I called Alfred but his phone rang out. I surmised that he was probably resting. I called again the following week and achieved the same result of non-response. Still, I didn’t fear for the worst. When we spoke weeks earlier, he had sounded lively although our conversation dwelt some on the dead. Early this year, he presented me with a copy of Barrister Nwokedi’s memoir on the Nigerian civil war entitled A Shred of Fear. A week later, my concerned daughter called to ask if I had finally reached Alfred. I had not. His phone was no longer reachable. I had neither his wife’s nor his children’s numbers. But I promised her that I would contact mutual friends to ask how Alfred was fairing.

I made a WhatsApp call to Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu Jr to ask for a picture I considered necessary for a new book on his father that I am about to publish. That was when the alarm set in for the icon on Emeka’s WhatsApp number bore Alfred’s image. Upon inquiry, he confirmed the worst. Alfred Nwosu, born October 2, 1957, passed on August 7, 2024. He was 67.

Alfred was one of my best friends, even though we never lived in the same town together. I first met him in 1988 when, as a Newswatch magazine reporter, I had travelled to Enugu for a story. I ran into him and some other young men of the media at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre on Rangers Avenue, and we hit it off immediately. His forte was advertising. He was lastly the boss of the advertising company Reads & Mark Ltd. Each time I found myself in the Coal City, I tried my best to catch up with him. He was closely attached to General Ojukwu’s family and because I gravitated to the former Biafran leader, we sometimes met in his house.

Another reason for my enduring friendship with Alfred was his abiding love for books, especially books on Nigerian political history. There is hardly a book on the Nigeria-Biafra war he didn’t buy and read, whether fiction or nonfiction. Beyond that, he seemed to mostly enjoy sharing ideas and information from books with his friends. “Chuks, have you read Colonel Patrick Anwunah’s memoirs titled The Nigeria-Biafra War (1967-1970),” he would ask, for instance. If I answered in the negative, he would say: “I bought two copies, you can have one” or “Come take my copy and read.”

But to return to Alfred. He appeared to have sold for me more copies of my biography of General Aguiyi-Ironsi than even some bookshops, without any profit to himself. Sometimes he would collect about half a dozen copies, pay for them, and give those who placed orders. I recall also that two years ago, well before the onset of his health challenges, he had asked for a copy of Ironsi for his son. “Can’t your son read your copy?” I asked. “No,” replied Alfred. “Every book I own will be donated to a library when I die. My son will have his copy of any of my books his fancies.”

After I launched The Promise of a New Era, my biography of Mr. Peter Obi in Enugu in December 2022, I was compelled to publicly acknowledge Alfred’s role in the success of the event. I added that anyone intent on organising a successful event in Enugu must seek the assistance of Alfred and another Nnewi son, Chief Ben Etiaba. The launch of my book was personal to them. Apart from helping to secure the venue, they accounted for a great number of those in attendance, pressing many of them to “launch” the book for me.

On Friday, September 13, 2024, Alfred will be committed to Mother Earth in Nnewi. To pass away at 67 is to die prematurely. There was a poignant statement made around 2008 by Bashorun J. K. Randle, the chartered accountant and famous author of The Godfather Never Sleeps that I must paraphrase since I don’t have the original. He had said something like this: his father died at 47 years in 1956. At that time, life expectancy in Nigeria was 52 years. In 2008, 52 years later, life expectancy in Nigeria still stood at 52 years! What a big disgrace.

May Alfred Nwosu find rest in the Lord’s bosom. May the Lord grant fortitude to his family and friends.

A TRIBUTE TO MY LOVING AND CARING BROTHER, ALFRED UGOCHUKWU NWOSU
On that fateful day, precisely on the 7th of August 2024 being Wednesday, the news of your demise came to me. When I was just coming to terms with my husband's demise 2years ago, another one struck.
When we were growing up, you would always be teasing and calling me "Ego brown bread" while I would respond by saying "Apricot jam jam." It was fun though. now, I long for those times.
Now, I find comfort in Ecclesiastes 3:2 "A time to be born and a time to die..."
Your life touched many and your death left a vacuum in our hearts.
As I write my farewell to you, I choose not to question God who saw it fit to call you home at such a time as this.
Heaven has gained a saint and a sweet soul.
Great Man rest well and may God grant your gentle soul eternal rest.

FREDO! I have known you for decades, but the friendship remains ever green because of your sincerity. We have had some tough moments but you had never wavered in telling me the truth.

When you took ill, I never knew that I have to write a goodbye message for you at this time. At the hospital, little did I know that the end was near because you were your usual self, you were marshalling out every point raised like you always do.

When Ray call that you had passed on, I never believed it until I was asked to write these parting wards for you. I am doing this tough job with a heavy heart knowing that I can’t breeze into Enugu to have a word with you anymore. I however take solace in the fact that you were a good man.

Goodnight Fredo until we meet to part no more.

HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF ALFRED UGOCHUKWU NWOSU

With a heavy heart and profound respect, I write to express my deepest condolences on the passing of your esteemed father, brother, uncle and friend, Mr Alfred Ugochukwu Nwosu.
At the age of 67 years, Alfred's life was a testament to the resilience, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to family and community that embody the essence of a true son of the soil.
I related with Mr Nwosu a couple of times, and each time, I left with an impression, without usual funeral exaggeration, that he was one of the most honest, forthright, objective and amazing personalities I have met. I will personally miss him, his counsel and his intervention and voice of deep wisdom.
As we mourn the loss of this great man, we cannot help but celebrate the incredible legacy he leaves behind. His generosity, kindness, and selflessness were a beacon of hope, demonstrating the power of a life well-lived.
As your family navigates this challenging time, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
May his soul find eternal peace and solace in the embrace of the Almighty.
With heartfelt condolences,

Tribute to my Alfred.

I don’t know where to begin. I’m lost for words can’t even explain the hurt. Those days I visited, you gave me the assurance you will bounce back. Your voice was still the Fred’s voice I knew and would recognize even in my death bed. You never called me Uche but ‘Nwunye Superman’ or ‘Mrs Super Woman’ with that beautiful and natural smile. I still can’t believe it’s over. So my last visit was the longest good bye. I’m still teary when I remember you.

You always asked about my children and they were so fond of you. I could see the joy in you while speaking with them in the hospital. My children called me later in the day to ask me why I said you were sick because you gave them enough time for questions and answers. They can’t believe you are no more.

Anytime you visited Nnewi, we must sit and tease each other and I will take your meal order. Such memories will remain with me forever.

I’m so sad and very reluctant writing this. I keep consoling myself that God knows His reasons for taking you from us. I know for sure you are in a better place. Ucee was always there for you. I pray God will console her and the children. Everyone speaks highly of you ( Ezigbo Mmadu) My family will miss you so much. The saints are rejoicing in Heaven and we on earth are crying.
May God Almighty grant you eternal rest Amen.
Ezigbo Mmadu Alfred ji Nne Oma!!!!!

Being a contemporary of his older brothers, I have known Alfie for over 50 years.
I knew Osy, Ody and Zik by virtue of their attending Government College Afikpo in present-day Ebonyi State 1966.
Osy and Ody were students by default, as a result of the unfortunate civil-war, while Zik was a bona-fide Government college brought up.

A man of all seasons, resolute yet kind and always self effacing, in spite of his achievements, I was not prepared for your transition Alfie.
It is therefore difficult to write this Epitaph except to say "I wish you were here longer" to continue your generosity,goodwill and help to All; to spread your cheering smile and extensive knowledge about things so many ,
from soccer to who's who in Nigeria.
You even knew where to get the best reception facility and food in town even as you progressed past 60.
Your dear cousin and my Elder friend and brother ABC Nwosu (Osighelumkpume)will be at a loss on how to progress without you, as will all of us!

And I had little opportunity to say goodbye, being in denial you were very ill.
Rest in peace my good friend.
Our Lord and Creator will be kind to you, for you were kind to many.
Ndonu, Uche and the children.
Ndonu ndi be Nwosu n'Otolo Nnewi.

ManFredoo, it’s so difficult to accept that you’re gone. You were such a gentle and reliable friend who was always eager to assist his friends in whatever ways you could and you never joked with your family and relationships. You were such a great company to be with.

Fredoo, you were a major resource person on any information on Southeast Nigeria and you were in touch with most people in the zone. You were simply a people’s man.

You were determined to fight your health challenge and remained positive to overcome it till the end. We can’t question God as He knows the best.

May our good Lord grant you eternal rest in His bosom. May He also console and watch over Uche, Ifenna, Somto and the rest of your family.

Goodbye ManFredoo!

I have known Alfred since I was 12 years while he was my senior at CKC, Onitsha. He was a friend and guardian. He was measured in manners and soft spoken. We later became in laws in common and friends until his death. We will all miss Fredo. On behalf my family and the entire Nweke family of Awkuzu we send our heartfelt deepest condolences to his wife and children and the entire Nwosu family of Nnewi. May his soul rest in peace Amen.

My dearest wonderful cousin Alfei,this came like a shock to me. I can not stop crying, but l know that God called you to join his angels in Heaven.. Cousins are the first friends we chose for ourselves. You were my best and my number one Cousin. Alfie you were such a selfless person. You love people, you had the best heart. Cousin ,you are always a shoulder to lean on. Alfred you are a Cousin that brought joy and richness to our lives. You are the only Cousin that offered a sense of continuity and connections to our extended family. You are a wonderful Cousin that walks in when the rest of the World walks out.
You did so much for my late mom. She had you and family in her prayers and fasting, before she passed

It seems like a fake news but alas after days I realised it was real.

It seems like a dream, wishing never to wake up, but alas, I'm in tears to the reality that has befallen me.

Oh Death, where is thy Sting.

You didn't come at the most critical moments of his pains and grief. Why did you show up at the final point of his Victory, at the point we were about to give thanks to God for his victory.

Whom am I to question you God, are we not like pot in thy hands? You can make and unmake us

To my beloved mentor and dear friend, now in eternal rest,

Your passing leaves a gaping hole in my heart, but your legacy will forever be etched in my soul. I'm overwhelmed with grief, yet grateful for the time we shared. Your guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support shaped me into the person I am today.

I'll cherish the memories of our laughter, tears, and countless moments of growth. Your selflessness, kindness, and generosity inspired me to be a better person. Your impact on my life is immeasurable, and I'll carry your lessons with me always.

Though you're no longer here, your spirit will continue to inspire me to reach new heights. I'll miss our conversations, your warm smile, and your comforting presence. You were more than a mentor – a true friend, a confidant, and a shining example of excellence.

Rest in peace, dear friend Alfred Nwosu. Your memory will be a blessing to me and all those whose lives you touched.

Adieu

May God grant your lovely family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

I and the late Alfred Nwosu, though didn't know each other, shared a few passions, from Onugbu soup, Fela's afrobeat songs, Arsenal FC and the bold Enugu Rangers international. I spoke to Uche the moment I heard about it in the early days of August. May the Lord continue to comfort you all. Jeremiah 31:13. Blessings

In loving memory of my dear Uncle Alfred, who was more than an uncle—he was a father figure to me. His wisdom, guidance, and unconditional love provided strength and comfort throughout my life. Uncle Alfred's nurturing spirit and unwavering support shaped me in ways words can't fully express. Though you’re no longer with us, the fatherly love and care you gave will forever remain in my heart. Rest in peace, dear Uncle.

True gentleman, soft spoken but stoic, with an infectious smile. Your death was a terrible shock, God knows the best. I will miss the baritone voice that use to call me “ madam Ifeyinwa “. Simple and very appreciative of any little thing that was done for you. I will never forget your hard work that ensured my marriage ceremony was a successful one in between your busy schedule. May your soul rest peacefully in the bosom of your maker our Heavenly Father in Jesus name 🙏🏾

It is a huge shock. You moved on too soon, though it's to a better place, still a shock, nonetheless.
May your soul rest in the Lord, Amen

Uncle Alfred you were larger than life. I remember your kind eyes , your warm laugh , your booming voice, and your dignified posture. Your simplicity and humility. You’ve left a legacy that continues to the next generation through your wonderful sons. You are dearly missed but we know you rest well with God.

Alfredo,
We are heartbroken with your departure from our earthly abode!

When I visited you on the 21st of July in your Hospital Room in Lagos, I was very uncomfortable with your situation, but we both struggled to keep hope alive!
I was afraid that the end seemed near, but with Prayers, we hoped that God’s Miracle will save the day for us!

Alas, in the evening of 7th of August, the news of your death switched off the light for all of us!

You were a gentleman with few words and a dependable and devoted friend to so many people!

You had a set of Principles, but most importantly, you were an ardent Catholic unto death!

Our Mother Mary shall obtain God’s mercy for you through her Son Jesus Christ whom you believed in and trusted in your life time!

Good Bye until we meet again!

Fare the well my friend and brother!

God bless.

Uncle Alfred, you were more than just an uncle; you were a guiding star to me and many others, a constant source of direction, laughter, and a pillar of strength.
Your legacy will live on in the hearts of many, and your memory will forever be cherished. Rest in peace!
