The patriarch of Ezeakata kindred and Ezeonwodo family of Umudioka Obunese is gone. We are crying, but we are consoled by the fact that he lived a good life and left remarkable legacies behind. May his kind and gentle soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord.
My condolences to the entire family. Eternal rest grant unto his soul O’lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.
A medical genius, l remember two Nigerian army Generals who insisted in New Delhi India that Professor Mbonu arrive in India to supervise their prostate surgery before they could surrender for surgery. This is the Professor we are now mourning. May His soul rest in peace.
What a loss to Awka and Anambra, may his kind soul rest in perfect Peace. That was a big blow for all of us at Awka and Nigeria in general, may his soul rest in the lord
Great Iroko, may his soul rest in peace. A great loss to humanity and Umudioka Obunese
An iroko tree in the Mbonu dynasty has fallen life is vanity, and life is a shadow, thank God for a life well spent RIP Big Daddy
He has done his bit in this cycle of life and passed on to eternal glory. May God grant him peace. Amen
We lost a gem. Still in shock. Odogwu Umudioka ji eme – onu. R.I.P
Awka emelio!! Ezigbo mmadi anaa. Jee nke oma onye eji eje mba.
Prof Awka ji eme onu!
What a loss. He was a good man. Prof was a legend and as well as a positive influence on mankind.
May his gentle soul rest in peace. Amen. I pray the Almighty God supplies the strength you and your entire family most need at this trying time.
A big loss to the Awka Kingdom. What a colossal loss😭? May God console all those affected by this tragedy.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
A big loss to Awka and Nigeria in General may his beautiful soul rest in peace.
An iroko has just fallen, and a great man has gone to be with his maker, Rip Prof. O.O Mbonu, may heaven accept your soul, Amen.
His legacies remain perfect as he joined his ancestors to the great beyond which is a natural place for deceased souls who keep what made them in their life. It is also home to the abstract figures.
He is a Patriarch and titan of our generations. Awka Kingdom was blessed to have him and to learn many valuable lessons from him when he was alive as a highly regarded principled figure.
The loss of this notable figure was a devastation.
A thought of comfort and condolences to the grieving family. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Heartfelt thoughts go out to you in this time of sorrow. I will be thinking of you in this moment of pain.
Remembering his wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts. May he rest in peace! A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven.
Rest On Nwazulu Of Awka Kingdom.
Rest On Ozorandu Of Awka..
Rest On Chinemeze Of Awka..
Rest On the High Chief Of Mbaukwu & Awka Kingdom.
Rest On Patriarch Of Ezeakata Kindred.
