1 min read
During the burial of Attorney Henry Oguike on Friday October 29, 2021, there was a heavy presence of pupils from Hilltop Primary School Uba Umuaka, the elementary school that Henry Oguike attended. When Umuaka Times tried to find out why the kids left their school to attend the burial ceremony, the newspaper was introduced to someone who introduced himself as the headmaster of the school.
Mazi Stephen Onyema Nwachukwu, the headmaster of Hilltop Primary School Uba told Umuaka Times that he and his “children” came to pay their last respect to Sir Henry Oguike. Asked what inspired the move, Mazi Nwachukwu told Umuaka Times that the late Oguike was always spending his personal fortunes feeding the pupils of Hilltop Primary School on a countless number of times and days.
The headmaster regretted that the pupils of the school may go hungry if no one comes up to feel the vacuum the death of Sir Henry Oguike has created for them. He appealed to people of Umuaka to emulate the virtues of the late Oguike.
