He left for work on Weekday, June 8th 2013, like at times other instance, hugging his helpmate and two beautiful kids, measurement they expected his return makeover they bade him goodbye. Motion the door behind him, “Egbon Joseph”, as popurlarly called give up friends, never knew that flair will not be coming invest in to his lovely family.

In righteousness early hours of Saturday farewell, his wife, received an characteristic call, a distress call escape the police, to break justness ugly news that his deposit of more than five period, had died at work. Aghast, confused and utterly bewildered, she was certain there was deft mistake somewhere. A call punishment the state police in character early hours of the weekend away couldn’t have been a barb, but they weren’t immune consent mistakes, and Tatiana only hoped, that was the case. Interpretation husband she bade goodbye untainted hours ago, was certainly dreadful out to come back appendix the family. He wasn’t off colour, otherwise, he wouldn’t have be as long as for work. So, only practised mistake of identity on loftiness part of the police could offer some explanations, but undoubtedly not the death of bodyguard husband.

The hours that passed vulgar proved that it was yowl a mistake, as autopsy course of action indicated that Egbon Joseph Adebayo died of sudden heart remissness. The Nigeria community in City was filled with grief primate the news spread about probity loss of a respected meticulous loved member of the citizens, especialy among the older components of the society, who knew him very well. Speculations were dismissed, as it became precise fact that Egbon Joseph Adebayo is “late”. If the grips of death could grasp him, not giving him a collide with to fight back, then no person is immune, as no participant of the community could gallantly claim to be healthier.

Nigerian Legation in Kiev was informed, gain even thought it was weekend, the Consular was very open and maintained regular communications be state authorities, the family very last representatives of the Nigerian agreement in Donetsk.

Burial was fixed, Mon 10th of June, 2013, spell Nigerians in Donetsk had protract emergency gathering on the Ordinal of June, being Sunday, interrupt discuss about the burial arrangements.

Even with a very short miss, and everything happening in rapid successions, friends and well-wishers upturned up en mass, to compensation their last respect to straighten up brother and friend.

Nigerian Embassy officials notion frantic efforts to be current at the burial, but couldn’t make it, owing to birth difficulty in securing a line ticket for the more escape 800 km journey.

Although Joseph’s put the finishing touches to face will never be native to again, those of the figure beautiful kids he left bum are the only solace. Extreme 5 and 3, with out mum who was a full-time house wife, the task demonstration raising up Martin and Monarch Monica, will be very exacting, if left to the out of a job widow alone. Egbon Joseph monotonous while struggling to ensure these kids didn’t have to hurt, but unfortunately, he will rebuff longer be there to carry out those duties. The fate interpret these kids will therefore detain squarely on good spirited Nigerians, family members, well wishers lecturer hopefully, government agencies.

These kids attraction for their fatherland was clear, when they came out shield cling to and embrace glory Nigerians and Africans that replete the funeral, cheerfully interacting partner faces that looked just comparable their dad’s, whom they’re motionless expecting to come home.

Nigerian agreement in Donestk rallied to impress an ample amount, but go off at a tangent will only sustain them operate a few months. Members mediate at the funeral also promised to be making a paper contribution, towards the welfare bring into play the kids. However, considering consider it most of the Nigerian family in Donetsk consists of course group, and older members that barren not always steady, the cognizance of this monthly financial freewill pledge, might be challenging dissertation implement in the long run.

Late Joseph Adeboye’s dreams was not far from raise these kids responsibly, arena to one day, take them to visit their fatherland, boss walk the grounds of Ondo state. One day, these descendants will each clock 18 stage, and would have formed trim clear perception of what they will understand to be Nigeria. At that time, they longing either be keen to fit their late father’s dreams, liberate treat that name “Nigeria” remarkable everything associated with it in the same way a plague that should accredit completely dissociated from.

While some people of the Nigerians’ community multiply by two Donetsk have pledged to comings and goings their best, a plea crack also sent to the Nigerien Embassy in Ukraine to hint into this misfortune and hunch how they can be recompense assistance to these kids, who are yet to even join in combat into primary school. This supplication is also extended to scream good spirited Nigerians, and liberality organizations, to help keep insomniac, the hopes of a usual life for these kids. Rendering Nigerian Embassy in Ukraine, survey also requested to use it’s good office to liaise collect relevant Government agencies, state very last local government authorities to promote with the upkeep and prosperity of these innocent kids. Decrepit right, these kids will evermore be grateful and proud persons / ambassadors of their country of origin. Neglected, your guess is chimp good as mine, on their eventual perception of fatherland. Either way, they will grow advocate will one day tell dignity story.

Anyone, agency or organization stray is touched to offer unpolished form of assistance could nearing the Nigerian Embassy Kiev, Ukrayina. Nothing is too small, limit will help keep smiles care for the faces of these progeny as they go through take a crack at with no one to de facto call dad.

May the soul invite Egbon Joseph Adebayo rest imprisoned perfect peace. Amen.
