To my beloved best uncle!

You were compassionate, kind, loving, caring, supportive, secure, attentive & a great confidant.

You took me by hand to places & people I probably would never have reached, your name opened great doors & presented great opportunities. We gisted like father & daughter would, often times I call to check up on you & when you haven’t heard from me, you would call to know how I’m doing.

You were the first person I called this last Christmas to wish you a merry Christmas & quick recovery but to no avail.

A father figure indeed, a peace maker,too generous, humorous, vigorous, a trailblazer, pathfinder, a leader per excellence. Your heart was pure & large, very accommodating & hospitable. I’ll miss you my dear uncle

May your kind & gentle soul rest in peace. Amen

Farewell dear uncle!

Honoring a Phenomenal Uncle and Boss

With a heart heavy with sorrow yet filled with gratitude to God for a life well spent, I write this tribute in honor of Sir (Chief) Dr. Sunny Ajie JP—the pride of Ihiukwu kindred, the Osichi 2 of Ogbaland, a distinguished elder statesman, and the pioneer Commissioner for Transport, Rivers State.

It is difficult to speak of you in the past, Uncle Ajie. For as long as I can remember, you were always there—a steadfast presence through both joyful and challenging times, a pillar of unwavering strength and support.

To my siblings and me, you were simply “Dr. Ajie,” but to the world, you were so much more. You embodied resilience, dependability, and hard work. A man of integrity, you led by example, never shying away from responsibility and always ensuring that those around you felt uplifted and supported. No challenge was too daunting; you faced every task with determination and grace.

I had the distinct honor of serving as your Personal Assistant 2 when you held office as Commissioner for Transport—an opportunity that allowed me to witness firsthand your fairness, compassion, and generosity. You treated everyone with dignity and respect, always extending a helping hand to those in need. I watched you employ and assist people you had never met before, ensuring that no one left your office without hope and a smile, regardless of their struggles.

But beyond your leadership, you were family in the truest sense. More than an uncle, you became a second father, a mentor, and my greatest supporter. When my father—your dear “paddy”—passed away, you stepped in without hesitation, filling the void with love, strength, and unwavering guidance. From last-minute aso-ebi sewing to attending weddings—even when you hadn’t received a formal invitation—you and Aunty always showed up, proving time and again that family was your priority. You deeply loved your family, speaking of your children with immense warmth and pride.

Despite being a social and well-respected man, you remained deeply rooted in faith. Your relationship with God was the foundation of your life, guiding your every action. As your PA, I knew that no one was allowed to see you in the morning until you had knelt in prayer. At the end of each day, you always made a stop at Corpus Christi to thank God, often reminding me of your favorite scripture:

“Since I was born, and now am old; I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” – Psalm 37:25

Your faith was unshakable, shining through in both your personal and professional life.

Losing you is deeply heartbreaking.

I will miss your infectious laughter and the warmth of your voice calling me “Lady Ego.” I still remember the last time I visited the house when you asked me, “If you lose someone dear to you, even if they were 100 years old, would you celebrate with a big party or be in deep mourning?” I paused, looked at you, and replied, “The world may celebrate, but those closest to ‘the person’ will be in mourning.”

That night, as I was leaving, you walked me to the car, prayed over me, and gave me your blessing. Did you know that would be the last time I would see you?

Though my heart aches, I find solace in knowing you lived a life of purpose, kindness, and faith. Your legacy lives on in the countless lives you touched. I will forever cherish the wisdom you shared, the opportunities you provided, and the unconditional love and support you gave me.

Rest well, my dear uncle, my boss, my mentor.

Your kindness, strength, and faith will forever remain in our hearts.
With love and honor,

Your first cousin and Personal Assistant,
‘Lady’ Ego Ezebalike

A Tribute to My Brother/Father And Friend Sir Dr Sunny Ajie KSM The Osichi II of Ogba Land.
Today, I write with tears in my eyes as we gather in sorrow to honor and remember the life of a truly remarkable man—a brother, a father, a friend. Though my heart is heavy with grief, I will also find comfort in the memories of the love, strength, and warmth he shared with each of us.in the family, His life was a gift that touched us all in ways that words can scarcely capture.
As a brother, he was a constant source of support and laughter. Whether in times of joy or hardship, he was always there, ready to lend an ear or offer a helping hand. His loyalty was unwavering, his kindness boundless. He had the rare ability to make us feel seen and heard, and his presence was a steadying force in our lives.
As a father, he was a protector, a teacher, and a guide. His love for his children knew no bounds. He worked tirelessly to provide for them, to shape them into the kind of people who could carry on his legacy of compassion, integrity, and strength. He believed in them with all his heart, always encouraging them to reach for their dreams, while reminding them of the importance of kindness, honesty, and resilience.
Though he has left us too soon, his impact will forever resonate within us. We see it in the lessons he taught, the values he instilled, and the love he gave so freely. His spirit lives on in the stories I will continue to tell, in the quiet moments when I remember his voice, his laughter, his embrace. He may no longer walk among us, but his love is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
In the days ahead, I will grieve his loss, but I will also celebrate his life. I will remember the way he made me feel—safe, loved, important. And I will continue to live in a way that honors the example he set, finding strength in the love he gave me.
Rest in peace, dear brother, dear father, dear friend. You will never be forgotten. Your memory will live on, and your love will continue to guide me, now and always.

Your Last Brother, Gift Ajie AKA Nwa-Eze ( son of a King ) as you fondly call me.
