Esther Uzoma: You’ve risen to the immortals, now watching over us ~ Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha

Esther Uzoma

I write this with great sadness over the unimaginable loss to the nation, the demise of Barrister Esther Uzoma who was the Convener of the Nigerian Civil Society Situation Room, National Coordinator of Proactive Gender Initiatives (PGI).

A legal practitioner per Excellence.

She stood tall in the fight and the demand to bring to reality equality for Nigerian women, She took each day in stride, never always optimistic about growing others and making impact in treating gender based issues.

This beautiful woman, inside and out, was a wonderful friend to me, a support system to me.
One of her beliefs in life was the importance of being authentic with people, saying what needs to be said.
I always admired how she never judged or forced her opinions on anyone, but offered valuable and truthful advice and these I will surely miss.

Esther was special. Dare I say extraordinary!

How do I describe the most selfless person I know? How do I begin to recount the dozens of organizations she helped, the people she inspired, the lives she touched.

This is a woman who gave her time and talents to others because she felt called to do so.

“How can I help you?” I can’t be the only person who heard Esther say those words over and over again – no expectation of anything in return. To call her a ‘giver’ doesn’t do her justice. Giving was simply part of her nature.

You’ve risen to the immortals and now watching over us. Rest on Esther.

You will forever remain indelible in our hearts and your legacies will continue to live on.

Hon.(Barr) Nkeiruka Onyejeocha
Deputy Chief Whip of House of Representatives
Federal Republic of Nigeria
