Like a candle in the wind, you shone in our lives, loving, caring, giving and chiding.
You were a riddle in a puzzle; a paradox; a lesson in words and opposites; A repository of family information; involved in everyone’s life, giving, sharing, annoying and caring. You were full of adventure with the memory of an elephant; You were supporting of others; giving and giving to your own hurt.
But in all this you were a friend’s friend, a Sisters’ Sister and a much beloved Aunty.
We loved you warts and all.
Though death separates us, we shall not forget...
How can we forget, those tender happy moments before the storm of life...
How can we forget all you taught us, all your sacrificial love, the wriggles, songs, gifts and the sad moments? How can we forget Aunty Chimama and the telephone, keeping in touch gisting and billing?
How can we forget the story of a life, a life full of life, exuberance and charm; a life afflicted with so much pain and sorrow; A life that fought and defeated pain;
A life lived to the fullest!
Adieu my Aunty Chimama!
How I wish...

Today as I was going through my suitcase of traditional clothes looking for an outfit to wear to church Aunty I remembered you. I remembered how you lovingly packed that suitcase for me folding each piece neatly. I remember so much about you because you were always an integral part of my life from childhood even up till your very end.
I remember you as a teacher in my primary school hailing and cheering me on as I performed or won an award. I remember you holding my hands and dragging me throu...

It was on a cool breezy morning on the 20th day of Oktober 1942 after a drizzle. My father rushed in
from the General Hospital Enugu (the Coal City branch of now UNTH) and announced with glee the birth
of a baby girl. Neighbors and nearby friends rushed to our Colliery Quarters residence. There was much
jubilation. Our parents had lost three boys in succession. None survived to see the other. They were
Godwin Felix and John. Nonyem became a precious baby names started rolling in. My fath...

Snug in your arms
Racing with the wind
Singing out of tune
Holding you tight, I’m dancing on your feet
Loved unconditionally
Ada ogalanya! Ada ogalanya!
The main, the main! The main, the main! I am here.
Growing up with you
The adventures and the confidences
The love and the laughter, the joy and the tears
Singing in harmony
Sharing ups and downs
Love for ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ overflowing and binding tight.
Fiercely protective, fighting for your own
Sister, aunt, mother, ...

To My Aunty,
I was your Chi-Mama and you were my Aunty Chi-Mama. You were the definition of an aunt – full of love and care for us, your great-nieces. We will miss your loveliness, your warm voice over the phone. We hope that you are resting in peace, free of pain, free of suffering and with Our Lord.
We love you.

Beloved Aunty Nonyem. That sounds just about right because you were a much loved aunt. A very special aunt from as far back as my childhood memories go.
Do you remember at No. 8 Ridgeway the day when all of us kids ran out of the house and towards the gate screaming "Auntie Nonyem is here" and you got bit by the dog Freckles. He must have been thoroughly confused by all the screaming and running by his little friends and you to have done that because he was generally a very friendly canine. ...
