Appreciation

For your outpouring of love and good wishes I thank you all.

My brother Ogbuefi Peter Uchechukwu Emelifonwu aka Billy was a rare breed.

He had a special place in my heart.

Though we were from different mothers but we had a lot in common. We had a resemblance with our father. He was born in September and I was born in September. He was the second born of his mother and I was the second born of my mother.

Bros Billy made me a craft material when I was in primary school and he was at Yaba Trade centre. The material was the best in my year. It was so good, a classmate of mine had to get his dad to come to my school to persuade me to sell it to him

It was for making Muffler and since I had made mine and I needed the money I had to oblige my classmate and his dad.

In my family, we lost our dad to the civil war and were raised by close relations. Bros Billy and myself were raised initially by late F. O . Emelifonwu a strict disciplinarian. Bros Billy could not cope and had to shift to another uncle late Ogbuenyi E . O Emelifonwu.

Children of my father from both sides of the divide either by my father's design or providence all loved and still love one another.

I shall forever cherish the memory of bros Billy who stood in for my father both at my registry and traditional weddings.

Rest In Peace.
