Tribute to my mother in law

She was a woman of grace, strength, and quiet wisdom. She carried herself with dignity and left an impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. As a mother, she gave love that was deep and unwavering; as a mother-in-law, she welcomed with an open heart and a spirit of kindness that made family feel complete.

She was a pillar of support, a source of encouragement, and a steady presence in times of joy and in times of challenge. Her words were thoughtful, her actions selfless, and her love sincere. She believed in family, in respect, and in doing what is right, and she lived these values every day of her life.

Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the lessons she taught, and the love she poured into her children and those who became her children through marriage. Her warmth, her strength, and her gentle guidance will never be forgotten.

Though she may no longer be with us in person, her spirit remains alive in our hearts. We honor her life, cherish her memories, and remain grateful for the time we were blessed to share with her. May her soul rest in perfect peace.

To Big Mummy,

When I think of you, I remember your beautiful voice. I remember the stories you told me when I visited, the song you taught me to sing, your warm smile, and your kind eyes. I remember how highly my parents spoke of you, how you were regarded as a pinnacle of beauty and strength, and a true symbol of elegance.

Ojemba, as my mum often called you, was not just a nickname, it was a reflection of your status, your greatness, and the respect you commanded.

Every memory I have of you is filled with kindness. Thank you for living a long life. Thank you for being great. Thank you for your love and for the life you lived.

As my father often said, there is a time for everything: a time to laugh and a time to cry, a time to live and a time to die. You lived well on earth, and now heaven is blessed to have you.

I know you will not be alone. My parents, your friends will welcome you, make jokes with you, and watch over the rest of us as we continue on our own journey.

Big Mummy, thank you for all that you have done. I love you very much.

Ga nke oma, Obianuju nwa Joseph. I gafe enigwe a mornuo ( the heavens will greet you)

Your little namesake,
Obianuju nwa David

Tribute to Big Mummy

My aunty, my daddy’s elder brother wife, whom we lovingly called Big Mummy, was a woman of grace, warmth, and quiet strength. She carried herself with dignity, and her presence alone could light up a room. One of her most unforgettable gifts was her smile an amazing, radiant smile that appeared whenever she made a joke and even when you first set eyes on her. It was the kind of smile that stayed with you long after the moment had passed.

Big Mummy had a way of making people feel comfortable and seen. Her humor was gentle, her laughter sincere, and her love unmistakable. She was not only a pillar in the family but also a source of joy, wisdom, and reassurance to all who knew her.

I saw her in her last days, and even then, she remained beautiful and glorious. Her strength did not fade, and neither did her grace. She left this world the same way she lived in it with beauty, dignity, and love. Her memory will forever live in our hearts, and her smile will remain a light we carry with us always.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Tribute to Big Mummy

Big Mummy was more than an aunt to us; she was a mother figure whose love and care shaped many of our childhood memories. Growing up, she played a significant role in looking after us whenever we visited the village during the holidays. Those moments under her care were filled with warmth, discipline, laughter, and a deep sense of belonging.

She had a natural way of making everyone feel safe and welcomed. Big Mummy gave of herself selflessly, ensuring we were fed, cared for, corrected when necessary, and loved without condition. Her home was always open, and her presence brought comfort and stability to us as children far from our parents.

Through her actions, she taught us the true meaning of family, kindness, and responsibility. Even when resources were limited, her heart was always generous. The values she instilled in us during those formative years have stayed with us into adulthood, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Though she is no longer with us physically, Big Mummy’s legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely. She will be remembered for her strength, her nurturing spirit, and her unwavering dedication to family. We take comfort in knowing that she lived a life of purpose and left behind memories that time can never erase.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. She will forever remain in our hearts.

Tribute to Mama

Lady Christy Uju Oji, fondly called Ojemba, was a woman whose kindness touched everyone around her. From the moment I became friends with her son, Obiora, she welcomed me like family. During my secondary school and undergraduate holidays, her home became a refuge, a place where I was cared for, fed, and treated with genuine motherly love.

I remember her playful jokes whenever I stayed late with Obiora, laughing and catching up on childhood stories. She would smile at our loud conversations and giggles, always amused by our bond. Yet beneath the humor, she was a steady guide, reminding both of us to grow into men of good conduct and strong values.

She lived a fulfilled life, one marked by compassion, wisdom, and a heart open to all. Her absence leaves a deep void, but there is comfort in knowing that Ojemba rests peacefully with God.

She will be dearly missed by me, her family, and the entire community. Her light remains with us, gentle and unforgettable.

Tribute for Christy Uju Oji
Mama Christy Uju Oji was more than a neighbour to me — she was a teacher, a guide, and a loving presence in my childhood. In the early 1990s, our families lived close to each other, and during those years she took a special interest in my growth.
I remember clearly her help during my primary school days at Ekulu Primary School. She took time to support my learning, especially in English, and she encouraged me to be disciplined, focused, and confident. I also remember her kindness and care when I had a fracture — she showed me so much concern and true motherly love during that difficult time.
Some of us fondly called her “Mama Obiora be ndi ocha” because of her deep love for teaching and helping children to learn. She had a rare patience and warmth that made every child feel valued.
Mama Christy quietly shaped many young lives, including mine. Her influence helped mould who I am today, and I will always be grateful for her guidance and care.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Her legacy lives on in the many children she touched and the lives she helped shape. 🕊️

Tribute to my Big Mommy

I can't find the words to summarize my emotions after bearing this loss. Sometimes life has ways of bringing us back to our foundational building blocks, and the memories that it brings reminds of who we truly are.

When I think of my childhood, I cannot separate it from you. The early morning devotions at 5 a.m., trips to the stream at dawn, heading to the farm before sunrise, and running small errands around the house..this was life for me growing up and I look back now appreciating you for how you made your presence felt in my life.

As a child, I imagined you as a hen with big feathers because that is exactly who you were to me. A nurturer. A protector. A safe place where we could rest and grow.

I'm forever grateful to God for placing you in my life and for the role you subconsciously played in raising me. It is with a mixture of tears and love that I end this tribute. You will always be remembered, always honored, and forever loved.

My darling big mommy Ojemba, it is very very difficult for me to put down this goodbye tribute; more especially as I was not around when you needed me most and worst still that I am not going to be around to see the last of you and bid you goodbye as you are being laid down.
You mean so much to me and the kids, more than anybody outside the family circle can understand. Yes am using present tense because you will ever remain alive in my heart. I just want to say thank you so much for the deep love you showered upon me and the kids. We love you so much too and will ever love you.
We grieve your passage so much regrettably because we could not properly reward you for all your sacrifices in our lives. This wicked sickness came at the point our kids were just stabilizing to put into action their plans to show you that love begets love, and this is the most regrettable and most painful regret we have.
Big mommy you raised our kids as if I am your daughter or small sister.
You showed me so much love, affection, kindness and tolerance.
With you I always felt like a little spoiled
You fought for me mommy during all those years of my challenges.
You were always there to console me, never condemning.
You took over the care of Buby for the whole period of my law studies and handled him with care and patience.
You were always comfortable to have them all through the holidays and festivals consistently.
I could remember one of the holidays you and big daddy went all your way to arrange a science teacher to couch them which boosted their science and mathematics ability.
It pains me so much to say goodbye to you now, my heart is broken. You were part of our long term plans, but death has stolen you from us, leaving an emptiness that lacks description.
I say goodbye our beloved big mommy till we meet to part no more.
Yours ever Gee (as you fondly call me)

We remember and honor the life of Ojemba, our beloved sister-in-law, with hearts full of love and gratitude. She was a truly special soul—caring, empathetic, and endlessly kind—who treated everyone she met with warmth, grace, and genuine compassion.

Always cheerful and smiling, Ojemba had a gentle way of lifting spirits and bringing comfort to those around her. Though we miss her deeply, we are grateful for the beautiful memories she left behind and find peace knowing she is resting in the loving bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ojemba’s love and light will never be forgotten.

EULOGY FOR LADY CHRISTIE UJU OJI.
MARCH 19, 2026.
By Prince CJ OJI.

In Ancient Time!!!
In The Days of Our Patriarch!!!!

‘’Sera conceived the concept of humility of the woman.””
‘’Esther developed the principle of honor and dignity for the Head of household.’’
Do I mean to embark on a chapter about a Medieval subject?
Certainly not!!!
Conversely, I intend to capture the eulogy which will suffice to describe the ideals and values of our Missing Treasure:
Lady Christie OBIANUJU Oji - Big Mommy.
I will boldly begin by transmitting without sentiments that Big Mommy lived an exemplary lifestyle.
As a wife, you created a living home with a serene environment.
Your values were characterized by humility and dignity to all.
As a Mother and Big Mommy, you taught our children that the bedrock of peace is derived from Benevolence. Love. Equity. Equal Rights and Justice.
In the light of this and numerous other great works, I will not hesitate to express my profound gratitude to you for imparting a strong wave of love, honor, humility, patience, dignity, diligence, peace, unity, and above all fear of God on our children.
Our beloved wife go in peace.
I will always testify that you cherished an irreproachable lifestyle
We shall always hold you to a high altitude of excellence.
In conclusion, thanks so much for developing adorable characters for the Great Oji family.
May Jesus welcome you with a tumultuous fanfare.
Amen.
Prince CJ Oji

My First Letter to Big Mummy

Dearest Big Mummy,
It’s me, Dera. I was hopeful I would see you again after our last time together. I was so wrong. Now, I have so many things to say and so many memories of you - all beautiful and joyful. You were my happy place, Big Mummy, and you always will be. Thank you for teaching me grace, courage, peace, and how to love without judgment or contempt. Thank you for all the laughter, wisdom, and acceptance you shared with me without hesitation. Thank you for giving me a safe space to flourish and be nourished. I love you so much. And I will never stop thinking about you or talking about your greatness. You are now my angel. And you will always be a part of me. I love you, Ojemba.

Love, your Goddaughter.

FAREWELL TO AUNTY NGWO.
It was a sad one the day I got the information of Aunty Ngwo's passing.
I spent time pondering over the past.
Life is indeed made up of collection of memories. Some small and some big.
Some remarkable and some mere footnotes.
Some happy and some sad.
Some intense and some fleeting in its recollection.
My earliest memory of Aunty Christy was when my late mum travelled to Germany for the wedding of Aunty Christy (affectionately rechristened "Aunty Ngwo").
Aunty Ngwo who happened to be my late mum's last sister had her wedding with her husband Dr Chiebonam Alex Orji around 1981 (if my memory serves me right).
Afterwards I vividly remember that Aunty Ngwo bought me my very first leather strap wrist watch which I guarded jealously as I was proceeding to secondary school in 1982.
I have very fond memories of many holidays spent in Aunty Christy's family house in Ngwo.
The gentle words of advice constantly given to reset our then youthful indiscipline, be it with domestic chores, personal hygine, application to school work etc.
Aunty Ngwo was without doubt that loving and caring Aunty that was most understanding whilst correcting our misdeeds and I was very happy that Aunty Ngwo was in Abuja in 2005 for my wedding alongside my late mum.
Even though I feel sad penning this tribute, I'm also encouraged because we are people of faith and the bible tells us there's time for everything.
At this time it has pleased God Almighty that your time in this world is done and He has called you to be with Him.
I pray that our father in Heaven grants you eternal rest in His bossom Amen.
Farewell till we meet to part no more.

Death! The common destiny of man
Death! You can be unfair and wicked
Death! When you knock, man is helpless
Death! You have taken uju, my sister, cowife and friend
Uju was among the formidable team that came to my hometown in uluoke, etsako west LGA of Edo state. She was glamorous and added glamour to the said team, and all was beautiful.
Uju was beautiful and elegant in appearance. She radiated beauty in every area. Had she gone into beauty contest, she would have won.
Uju was a good dresser and naturally gentle. She was easygoing in all ramification; always ready to carry one along and very welcoming.
Until death started knocking at the door through I'll health. She struggled with death for years until she finally surrendered in the last quarter of 2025.
Adieu! My beautiful sister
Adieu! Ojemba
Adieu! Elegant stallion
We shall meet on that day in joy congratulating each other.

Growing up as kids, my siblings and I had the rare blessing and privilege of having a second mom. We never met our paternal grandparents, but God, in His kindness, gave us Big Daddy and Big Mummy.
We spent all our Christmas holidays in Odoma until we got to college, and Big Mummy, as we affectionately called her, was never just an aunty, she truly was a second mom. She cared deeply for us, loved us unconditionally, and was always supportive, encouraging, and kind.
One of my fondest memories of Big Mummy is her deep emphasis on the value of education. Her favorite saying was, “Knowledge is power.” She constantly encouraged my siblings and me to strive for excellence and never missed a chance to celebrate our victories, no matter how small.
It’s painful that we didn’t get the chance to give back to you as you truly deserved. But I will forever hold on to the beautiful memories and everything you poured into us. Your legacy lives on in the lives you touched, and we will continue to sing your praises and honor your memory.

With love always,

TRIBUTE to Mrs. CHRISTY OJI

Nwa-Anekwe, like I fondly call you, how are you doing in the yonder world? Your demise had a double effect on my emotions. One eye was crying because I miss your dearly, while the other eye was smiling because your long journey of suffering has come to an end. Well, I am glad that I was with you until you gave up. I witnessed your struggles. I am taking it easy because I know that death is a price we all must pay to life. And, there is no exception to this law. Many of our relatives have gone before you. Greet them warmly for me if you happen to meet them. Be ready to welcome us in a grand style because sooner or later we, too, must also leave this earth where we are mere strangers.
Adieu my very dear Nwa-Anekwe.
