Chief Eguka: Chairman, Lolo Roseline Ikwubuo’s Burial Committee. For me it was ok. But there were some areas that had some lapses but at last everything went fine. I am also pleased with what Umuaka Times reported. In fact in terms of entertainment, the Agunechemba did very well to entertain everybody and personally identified with everybody.
Chief Lewis Duru: Special Assistant to Imo State Government on Environment. We came to celebrate with one of us Chief Eddy Ikwubuo, a great son of Umuaka over the life well spent by his mother. The Agunechemba Njaba as he is addressed by many has today demonstrated that he is equal to the task of giving his mother a befitting burial. The whole event was indeed a carnival.
Hon Tony Duru: Former Deputy Chairman, Njaba LGA: The woman who died is like a mother to me because we are both from Umuezeala. She lived up to 93 years and that was why Agunechemba turned the burial ceremony to an ofala. Every good thing here today is in high supply because a mother to all has just died. I commend High Chief Ikwubuo for all his efforts.
Dr Austin Agbahiwe: Our Agunechemba made things happen during the burial of her mother, who lived a value driven life, being a caring mom in all perspectives. Agunechemba’s celebration of her was worthwhile given that he took very good care of her at old age. Remembers vividly, several times he updated me on her health status and all he was doing to take care of her.
At a time, he wanted to bring her to our hospital, but knowing the capacity of the medical consultant handling her, I advised him to continue to let him oversee. Her burial witnessed the presence of top political and business stalwarts in Imo State and beyond and Agu, himself was well prepared to host. It was a carnival of a sort. May mama’s soul continue to rest in peace!
Hippo Nwachukwu: Head, Media and Publicity, Lolo Roseline Ikwubuo’s Burial Committee. From the conceptualization of the burial ceremony and other concepts, it was planned in such a way that it would be a cynosure of first class burial ceremony in Umuaka and that was achieved. We had expected a large crowd to attend the burial but because it was the second burial, we achieved 90 percent of that.
On the introduction of limousine in Umuaka, Agunechemba did what has never happened here. The limousine added colour. Umuaka Times also tried. Generally, the event was a big success.
