TRIBUTE TO MY ELDER SISTER, EZINNE COMFORT UZOAMAKA CHIME
I wish to draw attention to the incident of the death of my elder sister, Comfort Uzoamaka Chime.
From our early life, we grew up together in Egbu, Owerri in the present Imo State. In School, sister was on top of the Class, while I was a beginner, using Slate and Chalk. Owerri people saw us as Onitsha people and discriminated against us. Hostility will easily ensure; and on each instance we depended on our sister, Comfort for safety! We saw her as Tigress and dependable. She would display rare intelligence and wisdom in all matters and we thus respected her approach and decisions on all issues.
As time went by, when Comfort came of age, she got married and her wisdom became noticeable the way she reasoned and behaved.
As Biafra war was raging, life became very hard for us!. Comfort had some grown up sons who we conscripted into the army! Comfort also had two very little kids having lost her husband during the war, she was like abandoned in a small town called Amandugba in Orlu LGA, Imo State . No help came from any source! Life seemed impossible!
However , intelligence led her into prayerfulness; wisdom from above prevailed and had the way! Sister Comfort became led into added venture: Massive changes came up. My sister got a different sphere of life! She would always refer to Psalm 91. Once more, she would make boasting in the Lord and things would happen!
And what I am saying in effect is that Comfort, my sister would be remembered in God’s kingdom, in Jesus name! Amen!
I am thankful to God Almighty for the gift of Comfort to me as my big sister! Also, I am thankful to God Almighty, who granted me the opportunity to share last supper and love with her in her last few days to her glorious exit on the 6th of October, 2025!
Farewell bidding us, as I say: Goodbye, EZINNE (ASA) C. U. Chime.
FROM YOUR BROTHER,
JOHN.
