CHIDINMA ALUBA INEM

When you walked into my church December last year in the company of AWCO women for their end of year thanksgiving, I couldn’t stop staring. You were so beautiful and radiant, full of class and grace. I walked up to you after the service expressing my desire to join AWCO. You smiled at me, gave me your phone to put down my number and promised to call me. I didn’t have a personal relationship with you in the short time I got to know you, but for every time we came in contact, you were kind, boisterous and full of humor. It’s sad, so sad that you are no longer with us but I take solace in the fact that you are in God’s bosom. May God grant the family you left behind and all of us who genuinely loved you the fortitude to bear this loss. Rest easy, mama.

IN MEMORY OF MY DEAR FRIEND.
A Rare, Humble and Beautiful caring soul is gone from the troubled world. It saddens my heart each time I think of your demise, though you journeyed out of my sight yet I see you with your usual worm smile. Madam Chi, you Departed this earthly life so quickly and your passing leaves a Void that cannot be forgotten, But we find comfort in the promise of enternal life by God. Rest in perfect peace my friend.

Mummy is ever radiant and always smiling when she is present in church. Everly soft spoken and easy going. We will always remember you in our hearts and pray you rest in the bossom of the Lord.

Chidinma my beautiful, elegant baby girl.
My heart is heavy.
My heart bleeds.
I am still in shock.
The pain is palpable.
I spoke with you early September when I told you about your cousin's (our son's) wedding. You were so excited and promised to be there.
Now this!!!!!
What can I say?
This is one death that shook me to my bones.
Goodnight daughter, my bridesmaid of 37 years!!!
Your uncle and I miss you sorely.
Your children are in safe hands with Jesus.
Again, goodnight Chidinma Aluba Nwaka Inem.

I wish I know what to write.

This kind of death is too painful to explain.
But ya diwa!
I THANK GOD😢😢😢

I Just wished I could whisk you out of that hospital,that Wednesday evening 😭😭😭😭

Just wishes now😭😭😭


God please console us all,

MaaChi,
Although it is painful to say farewell, I celebrate the gift of your life, lived with grace and fullness. You radiated warmth, kindness, and joy to all who encountered you.
May you continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord.
Kachi

I may not have had the privilege of meeting your dear mother, but I can tell she was truly remarkable by the life she lived and the beautiful legacy she has left behind in her children. It is often said that the worth of a parent is seen in their children, and through your character, values, and heart, I know she was a woman of strength, love, and grace.

Her impact clearly reached far beyond her immediate family, and though I never met her in person, I honor her today for raising Children who touches lives and makes a difference. May her memory continue to be a source of comfort, inspiration, and blessing to everyone who knew her. Amen 🙏...

Dear Machi 🕊️

As I type this, I still want to believe that it's not true and hope that eventually you'll be back from leave, a loss like this will always make me question everything 🙏🏿

I stopped a couple of times while writing this because I'm still finding it hard to believe that's it's actually about you Machi 💔

I sometimes still hope you can call me to come help you log on to some of your meetings and help with the training assessments but nothing comes and I have to accept that it's actually true, I just want to say thank you for everything.

A mother has left us 😞, this one hit hard.

Rest on Machi 🕊️ You'll be fondly missed 💔

Chibuikem.

Dearest Lubas, I write this tribute with a heart that feels TORN OPEN

Losing you, my beloved friend, has left a pain I can hardly name. The kind of hurt, that sits heavy in the chest, that wakes me in the night and reminds me you are gone.
Lubas, as I fondly call you, You were my safe place. The one that understood my silence, we lamented over issues and we console ourselves.
We laughed until tears run down our faces. Lubas, with you, life always felt lighter, even when the world was heavy.
Now I reach for the phone and remember
there will be no answer, no quick “I’m on my way,” no voice saying, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out together.” The emptiness is sharp. It is pain I carry every second of the day.

But even in this deep sorrow, I will hold on to the love you gave so freely.
I will keep the memories, our long talks, our shared secrets, the way you made ordinary days sparkle.

My heart is broken, but it is also grateful.
Grateful that I got to walk through life with you as a friend. Grateful that your laughter, your kindness, your strength will forever live inside of me.

Though my heart aches, I choose to remember the beauty of your life rather than the sorrow of your passing. I will carry your laughter in my memories, your kindness in my actions, and your love in my soul.

Rest on Lubas
I will miss you with every breath, until the day we meet again, where there will be no more pain, and our hearts will finally be whole.

Dear Machi,

It is still so hard to come to terms with this painful reality. Each time I turn my head, I see flashes of you seated in your office, full of warmth and life.

I remember vividly one of my earliest encounters with you, just weeks after I joined the bank during the naira redesign and cashless period. You called me into your office and, with motherly concern, advised me to restock my home with food items, reminding me that as a bachelor I needed to prepare for the uncertainties ahead. At the time, I returned to my desk reflecting deeply on your words and it struck me that such counsel could only come from someone with a heart as caring as yours. That was who you were, a woman who carried kindness into every space, on and off the job.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “It is not the length of life that matters, but the depth.” And indeed, you lived a life rich with depth, touching lives, leaving imprints of love, and filling the hearts of those around you with light.

Though your song has ended, your melody will linger in our hearts forever.

Rest peacefully, Machi. May the winds of heaven blow gently and whisper in your ears, how much we love and miss.

Forever,
That Abia boy, as you fondly called me.

Dear Mummy,

It took me days before I was able to pen down this tribute because I couldn’t find the right words to sum up all that you were, and I still had many unanswered questions from God.

Mummy, I have never seen a mother who loved so much, who cared so deeply that she even cared for her daughter’s friends. I remember the day my house got burnt and Nene told you about it. Over the phone, I heard your first response: “Is it our Adaobi?” Such acceptance! Or was it when we were preparing for Christmas last year and you were helping to pick clothes for me. Mummy, I will never forget. Even on the morning of our journey to the East, you made sure we all had enough food and water for our trip. I can go on and on….

Mummy, I saw your strength, I tasted your motherliness. And all I can say is thank you ma; for being so accommodating, so amazing, so loving, so accepting. Your memories will live with us forever. I love you, ma, but I know God loves you more, and I believe you are resting with Him.

Chai, little did I know the day I came to the hospital will be the last I will see of you.

Am still in shock and waiting to be told that the new is not true.

We have lost a wonderful and sweet soul. You inspired me, even when I don't feel like, your calls and words puts me up my feet. Chai, Chidimma, I will miss you greatly,
Rest in the Lord till we meet again

It is so difficult to believe that Madam Chidinma Nwaka Inem is no longer with us.She was a mentor,a mother and a true example of grace and strength.

Machi as she's fondly called led with wisdom and humility.She never needed to raise her voice to be heard, her presence alone commanded respect and her words carried both kindness and authority.She pushed us gently but firmly to become better.

What stood out the most about her was her heart.She cared about people beyond their work,her doors were always open and she listened even when she didn't have to.

You lived, you impacted and you would be greatly missed.

Thank
you for being
extraordinary.

I know you are resting in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rest in perfect peace.
💕

In Loving Memory of Chidinma

Some people walk into our lives and quietly transform the atmosphere with nothing more than their presence. Chidinma was one of those rare souls—gentle, kind-hearted, and deeply good.

Though we worked together only for a time, her impact was lasting. She brought light into every room, not through grand gestures, but through the simple, powerful gift of kindness. She listened with empathy, gave without hesitation, and carried herself with a quiet dignity that made others feel seen and valued.

Chidinma had a way of making work feel human. She reminded us that behind every task was a person, and behind every person was a story worth honoring. Her laughter was soft but sincere, her words thoughtful, and her spirit generous.

She may no longer be with us in body, but her legacy lives on—in the lives she touched, the hearts she warmed, and the goodness she left behind. We remember her not with sorrow alone, but with gratitude for having known her.

Rest peacefully, Chidinma. You were a blessing, and you are missed.

A Tribute to a Beacon of Light.

Beloved Sister Chidinma, you were not just a beacon of light in our family. You were a beautiful soul whose presence brought joy and warmth to everyone you encountered.

Your intelligence and hard work were evident in everything you did, especially in your career at the bank, where you were not only a cherished colleague but also a source of inspiration to many.

Your dedication and kindness extended beyond your professional life, as you selflessly supported so many family members financially, demonstrating your generosity and love.

I thank God Almighty that I had the privilege of speaking and praying with you before you passed unto glory.

It is a comfort to know that your faith in Christ Jesus has secured you a place in the loving arms of our Savior.

As Philippians 1:21 reminds us, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Chidinma, my beloved sister, you are in a better place now, free from pain and sorrow.

Though our hearts are broken, we find solace in the memories we shared and the love you left behind.
Psalm 116:15 tells us, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants," assuring us of your cherished place in heaven.

Chidinma Aluba Inem, you will be greatly missed, but your spirit will forever live on in our hearts.

Rest in peace, beloved sister. You will always be cherished and remembered.

Pastors Hezekiah & Rosemary and David Usim

Machi
I have only been opptortuned to work very briefly with you but you were full of warmth and kindness . To say that you will be missed will be an understatement but the void you left behind can never be filled.
I take solace in the fact, you are with the Angels and that you will continue to inspire us from above. Rest well Ma

Dear nma!
Nnajim as I fondly called you! Getting married to your family was a blessing 🙏
I lack words to express how hurt it's been since your demise.
May the angels guide you home! Till on Resurrection morning
Adieu Alubadiya😭

Chidinma It’s hard to comprehend that you are no longer with us. There are so many questions I wish I could ask, but I know that we cannot question God’s plans.
You came into my life during one of the darkest times when I lost my two wonderful sisters. You filled a void in my heart that I didn’t think could ever be healed. Your kindness, laughter, and friendship brought me so much joy, and you helped me cope with their absence in ways I cannot express.
We shared so many beautiful memories, and I will forever cherish them. Your spirit will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will miss you more than words can say.
Rest well, dear sister. Until we meet again Mienwam.

What a sorrowful loss!! I honestly lack words to express my pains of sudden demise Chidinma.
You have really brought joy, laughter and selfless kindness to everyone around you even in the very mist of your own challenges.
May your ever shining light and beautiful soul rest peacefully in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet on the resurrection morning when we will understand it better. Amen.

She was beautiful—not only in the way the world could see, but in the quiet kindness she gave so freely. Her beauty lived in her smile, her laughter, and in the way she carried love in everything she did.
She was hardworking—committed in all that she did, whether for her family, her work, or her community. She poured her strength and determination into every part of her life, leaving behind an example of resilience and dedication.
Her life was a testament to love, authenticity, and perseverance. Though she is no longer with us in body, the impact she made will live on in our hearts and memories.
Chidinma, thank you for the time we were blessed to share with you.
May your soul rest in peace.

A Loving Tribute to a Cherished Friend
Honoring Her Life, Legacy, and the Love She Shared

In loving memory of a remarkable friend whose presence touched the lives of everyone around her. Today, we gather our thoughts and hearts to remember a woman of extraordinary warmth, kindness, and strength—a devoted mother, true companion, and guiding light to all who had the privilege to know her.

She lived her life with an open heart and an unwavering commitment to those she loved. Her laughter was contagious, her counsel sincere, and her support unwavering. Whether you needed a shoulder to lean on or someone to share in your joy, she was always there ready with a gentle word or a warm embrace.

Her greatest pride and joy were her four wonderful children. She poured her soul into nurturing, inspiring, and guiding them. Through her actions, she taught them the importance of kindness, resilience, and the power of unconditional love. Her legacy lives on in them, reflected in every smile, every success, and every act of compassion they share with the world.

Those who were lucky enough to call her a friend know that her loyalty was steadfast and her generosity boundless. She listened without judgment, encouraged without reservation, and celebrated every milestone as if it were her own. Even in difficult times, she found ways to lift spirits and bring hope.

Though her time with us was far too short, her impact will be felt for generations. We remember the laughter she brought into our lives, the wisdom she offered in moments of uncertainty, and the love she shared so freely. Her memory will continue to inspire us to be better, kinder, and more compassionate.

As we say goodbye, we hold her memory close, finding comfort in the beautiful legacy she leaves behind. Her light shines on through her children and the countless lives she touched with her warmth and compassion. She may be gone from our sight, but she will never be gone from our hearts.

Forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten.

Nefi.

Aluba,as I fondly called and remember you.Hearing of your passing came as a shock to me, but who am I to question our maker.it is well. May our God grant your soul eternal rest in Jesus mighty name, Amen.

I am still in shock. I still can't believe you have left us. I am only consoled by how you impacted so much. Personally, you handled so much for me and my mum when she was still here. You would always share a smile, a thought in the most loving way. I can't say all here but I want to wish you a good rest with Jesus. I love you Chidinma 😍

Kali ,Nnem ukwu a woman with a beautiful soul and always looking out for me , I never believe I will writting this by now ,hmmm I Miss you so much and Am heart broken 💔💔💔💔 Kaii what can I say may you find rest in the bossom of the Lord.

Chi, your passing on to glory came as a shock to me and our friends forever group. We didn’t know you were hospitalized, but as the news came in, I realized your strong spirit made me talk about you all through the week, using some of your exclamations.
Thinking back to our last time together when you hosted our Friends Forever group, we all planned about the future. How we should start saving for our children’s weddings and how we should go into different investments for the future. Little did we know, death was close. We also had a good time together at the Spa, but you couldn’t wait for us to go for lunch together and you left. We didn’t know that would be the last time we would see you again.
We will miss you.
Rest in peace in the bosom of the Lord.

Kaaa Chy, Aluba, I really do not know what to write here but you have left so many hearts broken, you left me broken and shaken to the core, you left especially the hearts that of your beautiful children, my children are heartbroken, you left your siblings shattered, leaving them to weather this storm of your very painful exit!
We met in 1992 and our friendship blossomed into sisterhood, your laughter can melt the world and it paved way and saw you through life. I don't know which memory that I will share here, they are numerous and filled with love. You will always will be my sister and Best friend even in heaven we will meet again. I love you to eternity. Adeui Chy💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭May your beautiful soul light up the entire heaven. It's really hard to say goodbye 😭😭😭.
You shared my joy, you shared my pain, it was a two way love, even though distance kept us apart, we were forever Besties, is the airport run with excess luggage, is it even showing me how Enyi (Your Dad) business started, ii it when we talk about challenges of raising teenagers, we have cried and laughed together, I pray to we will meet to continue this friendship.
Kaaa Ada Enyi, Kaaa Sandra, Kaaa Chy Babe, Kaa Ezi Enyim, sojourn on in perfect peace and rest in God's Bossom🙏🙏💔💔😭😭

Dear Mummy,

You were always the life of the party!
Thank you for being the light in every space . I can still hear your voice . I’m grateful for the access you gave to us as your daughter’s friend, we could be ourselves around you and that’s very rare.
I know you’re smiling eternally with the Lord. I love you mummy.

Miejim Chidinma, chai!!!!!You were an extraordinary human being, so beautiful, tender hearted, soft, vibrant, self accomplished and determined...miejim, as i fondly call you, it’s so painful to type RIP🥺😭😭😭😭my heart is bleeding 🩸 so bad. You left this world too soon 😭😭😭😭i’m missing you already, but grateful for all we shared. Rest peacefully.

I did not know her closely, but I know her daughters well. They are among the kindest, most genuine, humble, and homely people I have ever met. Truly, the apple does not fall far from the tree. If she raised them to be this way, I can only imagine the remarkable woman she must have been.

May your gentle soul rest in peace, Aunty.
It is well.
