Here is a mind-blowing tribute written for late
Adaobi M Obih, a Nigerian lady who was
stabbed to death by her neighbour in Indiana on
Tuesday.
Tribute written by her friend at Spice Plaza.
Read it below:
I sit on my bed, hunched over my laptop. Drops
of tears fall on the keypad. I struggle to type,
my fingers hitting the soft keyboard as my
vision becomes blurry and the letters become
boxes of black and white. Why is the world so
cruel? Who could have ended a life so vibrant?
Flashes of the time I spent with her comes
flooding back. Adaobi in the green Maria Goretti
day-wear leading the rosary or dancing down
from and to St Anthony on Sunday. She was a
religious, athletic and charming girl, a little on
the boyish side but with a distinct feminine
touch. She was dedicated to great causes and
was a focused individual.
Her feminine side blossomed over the years.
Her Facebook posts always bring smiles to my
face. Her pictures are of a charming young
woman, but her post are about her passion for
sports. I always thought Adaobi managed to
merge the tomboy and the lady in her to
produce a remarkable and rarest gem.
I looked back to messages I should have sent
to her. Things I should have said to her. It hurts
me to know that I never knew her beyond those
wonderful years in Regina Mundi Secondary
School.
I wish my creative mind could recreate
moments before she died but my creative juice
seem to be dry and my thoughts are scattered.
She was a brave young woman and she was
physically strong. I imagine she must have
fought for her life. I wonder if she had been
scared. I wish she didn’t feel any pain. I wish
she died in peace as I know she now rest in
peace. I wish I were there with her. I wish her
death was not true but it is. She is gone.
Frantic search of the internet for news update
has brought more news about her murder. My
dear friend was stabbed to death. this gentle
soul was stabbed in multiple places and her
throat was cut with a knife. Ryan A. Klug, 36, of
3461 Limestone Lane, Apt. 2134, is the prime
suspect, a blood-saturated clothes the same
size as Klug wears were found in their two-
bedroom apartment. Every new information on
Adaobi’s murder makes us understand what
she went through during the last hours of her
stay in this world but this information makes
me angry and makes her death harder to bear. I
pray Adaobi finds peace, I take consolation in
the fact that she lived her life to the fullest.
She was a rare gem. A gift to the world that
knew her.
TRIBUTE TO A DEAR FRIEND
Woe to that living heart that stole your life -
Let him/her not die,
Let him/her live-forever, if possible.
Since it’s not possible
Woe betide him/her.
My heart aches, I turn around in circles, sharp
pain dashing through my bleeding heart.
No one knows my pain, no one can feel what I
feel, no one can miss you like I do.
You were known by all in different ways.
We feel the pain of your death in different level.
We miss you in unique ways.
Of time lost
Of time gained
Of time spent
Of moments with you
I am glad our path crossed
Rest dear
Till we meet again.
Never to part.
Oh dear this tribute brought tears to my eyes.
RIP dear…. crying…..
