AIGBOJE AIG-IMOUKHUEDE – SILENT MORNINGS

The resemblance is striking. When I saw the invite to the final burial ceremonies of my Egbon’s mother, it struck me. She was very beautiful and ‘Aig‘ took a little part of her looks. Aig no too fine like him mama, he try for man.

As a young man, I used to follow her activities at the National Council of Women Societies. Then I was a voracious newspaper reader and her activities in the work for women caught my attention. Her focus and her work in that area formed a watershed with which later icons have built a resounding platform that has led to the frontal position that women now play in society. For that we say “Thank you ma”.

Let me join the rest of the world in sending once again my commiseration to the Aig-Imoukhuede family even as I dare say that this was not a loss but a befitting transition – not transmission o to greater planes. She is definitely seated at the right side of the Lord.
