MRS JUSTINA C. MBANUGO (NEE ODUM) WIFE OF LATE CHIEF DR G C MBANUGO (CFR) OGENE OF OBOSI PASSES ON. ADIEU MOTHER DEAREST!!!


With humility, obeisance and honor to God the Alpha and Omega, on behalf of my brothers and sisters, I formerly announce the Homegoing to be with Our Lord and Creator of our dearly beloved mother, “Dinyelugo” Justina Chikwubelum Mbanugo (nee Odum) on Thursday, the 28th of August, 2014 at Enugu. With a broken heart, devastation and yet gratitude to God for a life well spent, we weep, we mourn, we rejoice, and ultimately we give God the glory for her lifetime on earth. The Almighty God is the giver and taker of life. He is the creator who lights the candle, dims the candle and at His chosen and appointed discretion extinguishes the light called life.

Mama, the reality is there will never be another you because you were uniquely created and sanctified by God. As we mourn, we shall concentrate on the best times and cherish the pleasant memories we had with you while you were living, and try not to feel so blue and move forward with God’s ordained journey called life. You’re in a wonderful place called Heaven where it is peaceful and reunited in soul and spirit with your husband; our father (daddy) Ogene Obosi, whom his entire children have immensely missed for 25 long years; and our other departed dearly beloved family members. Revelation 22:4-5 says, “They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever.”

May the Almighty God who is glorious and victorious in all, in His infinite mercy receive your soul and grant you eternal repose, peace and tranquility. Since this world is not our eternal home, the loved ones that you left behind won’t lose heart, but rather be joyful as we mourn and celebrate and thank God for the blessing of having you in our lives. God be with you and with your spirit until we meet again where we will never grow old when we reach that distant shore.

So “Where, O Death is your victory? Where, O Death is your sting?” Death may seize a believer, but it cannot hold them in its power. For by Christ dying for us has taken away this sting by atonement and remission for our sins. We Thank You Jesus for the Victory.
     
      Rest in Peace dearest Mama!!!

Obosi community in Anambra celebrates octogenarians

The Obosi community in Anambra State on Saturday celebrated 180 of its people who had clocked between 80 years and 82 years of age. The celebration, locally referred to as ‘Ito-Ogbo’ and held under the aegis of ‘Udokamma’ age grade, drew well-wishers from across the country, the News Agency of Nigeria reports. Ito-ogbo, a traditional celebration of octogenarians of Obosi kingdom, is held triennially and attracts all sons and daughters of the land to celebrate the gift of longevity to the community. The celebrants receive the title of ‘Ogbueshi Nwoke’ for men and ‘Ogbueshi Nwanyi’ for the women. They are immediately exempted from paying taxes and participating actively in community service. The Corps Marshall of the FRSC and a traditional chief in Obosi community, Mr. Osita Chidoka, told NAN at the ceremony that the celebration was worth all the efforts put in place. “Ito-ogbo festival is significant in the life every Obosi man or woman; it is the time to celebrate the age grade th

A touching excerpt from, Why We Struck: The Story Of The First Nigerian Coup ~ by Major Adewale Ademoyega. Page.142-3

"The next most important cause of our failure was the behaviour of Ifeajuna himself. Having seen that Ironsi had got loose and was already raising troops against us, Ifeajuna took Okafor with him and both of  them suddenly disappeared from our midst. This raises the serious question of whether or not there was a common collusion between the two of them, and whether Okafor's failure to arrest the GOC was not a case of deliberate or willful omission. To my mind and to be quite honest, Ifeajuna should have been angry with Okafor the same way that I was angry with him. Then, if Ifeajuna had been faithful to me like I was to him, he should have stuck to me and both of us together would have planned the next line of action. This ought to be the natural course of things because Ifeajuna and I had worked together alone on this Lagos sector project for the previous three months, and more or less to the exclusion of the other majors who were brought in individually as the need for them

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking good and showing promises from now a Michael Vick led team.The Giants looked terrible against the regrouped Colts who lost to the Houston Texans on opening day.The Washington Redskins got too much sucking from the cowgirls last sunday in the NFL opening game in Washington.

Congratulations to the Houston Texans for saving the state of Texas from th
