…family launches foundation<\/p>\n

\"\"Friends and family members of the late Madam Esther Omoche Onuh on Sunday, gathered to celebrate the life of the deceased business woman and philanthropist at a service of songs held in her honour in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The service of songs also witnessed the launch of a foundation, \u2018Esther Omoche Foundation for Women and Girls\u2019 in memory of the values and culture of the Late Madam Onuh.<\/p>\n

While addressing the congregation, Betty Abah, the first daughter of the Late Madam Onuh and Executive Director of a non-government organisation, Centre for Children\u2019s Health Education, Orientation and Protection (CEE-HOPE), shared that her late mother was a committed and devoted Christian who was generous and loving.<\/p>\n

Expressing how difficult it has been to cope with the death of her mother, Abah explained that, \u201cNo one can replace a mother and I think \u2018Mother\u2019 and \u2018Death\u2019 should not be found together.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the virtues we inculcated as children were taken from my mother who was committed, truthful transparent, full of integrity and lived her life for the people. She brought us up in a disciplined manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother was extremely modest, she sold her property to educate her children and it is extremely painful for us that she died just when she started reaping the fruit of her labour. Why do good people who have enriched the planet die?” Abah asked.<\/p>\n

One of the children, Pst Okeson Onuh, who xrayed some spiritual truth about his late mother explained that his mother was an idol worshipper who was converted to Christianity in 1986 and has since been committed to serving God, despite numerous attempts that could have made her lose her faith.<\/p>

Pst Onuh noted that though his mother\u2019s death is painful, the family is consoled that she has gone to rest with the Lord.<\/p>\n

Rev. Canon Okey Ifionu of the Anglican Church, Yaba, while delivering a sermon at the service of songs highlighted the importance of doing good, because everyone will die.<\/p>\n

“We are here today to celebrate a life well spent, and the testimonies of people around have indicated that Mama lived a sacrificial life. If you die, will it be same about you?” He asked.<\/p>\n

Launching the foundation, Rev (Dr.) Nnimmo Bassey, top environmentalist explained that with what he has read and heard about the Late madam Onuh, he can testify that her life principle was centered around truth, compassion, generosity, fear of God, hardwork and she was sacrificial in her giving.<\/p>\n

Nnimmo Bassey also tasked people to use the opportunity to reflect on their life and ensure that they are remembered for good, whenever they pass on to glory.<\/p>\n

The service of songs had in attendance the children, family of the deceased, friends and supporters as well as community representatives from Makoko and Monkey Village.<\/p>\n

The body of the deceased will be taken to Otukpo, Benue State for burial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
