MY HERO IS 12YEARS GONE.

Your footprints my stride, your mark my prowess, your legacy my strength, your candour my story, and your integrity my honour. Like the popular line in the multiple award winning animation movie LION KING 'He lives in me...he watches over me'. Dad it is 12years since you departed this mortal sphere to rest with the Saints Triumphant. 12years after you remain the most quoted Orator on our socio-political amphitheatre as your quotable quotes inundate every media outing I make. ELDER CHRIS NWAOKOBIA SNR, your scion CHRIS NWAOKOBIA JNR, yours sincerely arguably makes the most frequent print and electronic media appearances in the land, and every so often a platform exists, your wisdom and oratory finds expression through me. Dad, my siblings and I miss you like yesterday. We miss your counsel and erudition. We miss the morning devotion, the prayer sessions and worship moments that always appeared endless. Your infectious faith remains our solace. You thought us the love of God, the love for fellow man and the LOVE for country, my siblings and I are proud to have owned you as Dad. However Dad, since you left 12years ago, Nigeria has tested the fire of patriotism that you worked us with, Uche Nwaokobia your daughter (my Sister) died via a ghastly motor accident along the Lokoja axis of the Abuja Road, and your First daughter (my Sister) Patricia Amitaye nee Nwaokobia died in the hand of kidnappers. Both are consequences of ill rule, bad roads and unemployment chiefly. Daddy as the number 12 epitomizes Cosmic Order, balanced government and the harmony of space and time, may our nation grow in love, in brotherhood, and in unity. To use your words 'May the matchless benevolence of the Almighty make Nigeria truly great.' Rest on Dad. God Bless Nigeria. Prof. Chris Nwaokobia Jnr. DG CHANGE AMBASSADORS OF NIGERIA CAN
