To the History Maker: Joy Nkechi Agatha Chidobem – My Magnificent Legend of a Mother-in-law

Everyone is heartbroken. It still feels like an unreal dream. We are all waiting to wake up from this nightmare where you no longer exist in this world.
Our history maker, our legend, our Iron Lady!! Mommy, I want to say thank you for all the many lessons you impacted. I decided to summarize some of the many lessons you not only taught me but showed me in actions.
1) Pray everyday – To God the trinity, to Angels, to Saints, to Mother Mary, to heaven.
2) Praise God everyday – What shall we say until the Lord, all we have to say is Thank you God!!
3) Love God and be unapologetically audacious about your love for God.
4) An ultimate Trust and Faith in God.
5) The Beautiful Strength of a Woman.
6) A history making career of being successful, working hard, showing Integrity, being Passionate, having love for Country and Community.
7) How to be an Amazing and Supportive wife.
8) How to be a praying, compassionate, supportive and loving mother.
9) How to be a wonderful daughter, sister and friend.
10) A turn up fun loving joyous Queen. 👑

Thank you for the overwhelming overflow of love and support that you freely gave. From the moment we met, it was pure love. I remember you telling me not to worry, that you have already accepted me. On the first weekend of meeting you, how? Mommy that I have heard is extremely picky, accepted me so easily, no questions asked, just pure acceptance. Thank you. Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for welcoming me as your fellow Mrs. Chidobem, always making me feel like your daughter, you are a true mother.

It was always fun realizing how similar we both are, Mommy I truly miss you. I miss your strength, I miss your wisdom, I miss your laughter, I miss your teasing. I know you still have a lot to teach us. I know you are still here with us, watching and instructing. I have many requests for you but most importantly help us!! Help us Mommy, help us in all ways. Thank God we can confidently say our Mother is in Heaven, with the creator of the universe God, reunited with the wonderful love of her life, Sylvanus. I can only imagine how happy and sweet the reunion. I am not sure it’s a consolation but it’s a fact that reassures.

Great woman, Legend, Matriarch, Mrs Chidobem a beautiful farewell I wish you. I pray that you continue to rest in peace, in the bosom of the Almighty, in heaven where you can do your favorite activities, praying and praising God. Enjoy Heaven Mommy, you worked tirelessly on this Earth so you definitely deserve all the mansions and rewards you are receiving in Heaven. Enjoy Mama, you deserve it and more. 🥰🥰🥰

I love you. I promise to continue to honor your legacy. As you handed Ekene over to me, please Mommy continue to help and guide us. We know you’re never far away. Watch over us!!

I love you Mommy. Adieu!! ❤️❤️💔💔

From your daughter,
Chinelo Chidobem
