Condolences
I was severely saddened at the news of your departure. It was clearly of a proverbial saying “anu hu poo na elu anu dim na ala”
Be that as it may, we see divine providence play out. Since we are all Christians, we affirm that the will of God was done.
As people of maternal home, we use this opportunity to condole with Dr Chioma’s husband Dr Desmond D Obih to take heart and care for the ONLY visible memory of Chioma - her son Munachimso.
We pray and believe that God will allow him to live out his name.
We will continue to remember Desmond and Munachimso in our prayers.
May God grant your gentle and young soul eternal rest.
Chukwumaeze Oforha.
Thank you Chioma for who you were during your short stay here. It’s still a shock.When I heard the news of Munachi my joy knew no bounds only to get the terrible news later, we prayed, a lot of people prayed, cried and praised God just in faith that you will still be with us and your family but to no avail. We take solace in resurrection. Keep resting Chi.
In Loving Memory of Dr Chioma Obih(née Ofoegbu)
The news of your sudden Illness was a shocker we weren’t prepared for, knowing you were a fighter we clung to hope and prayed that everything would be alright.
Chioma your demise hit hard
In the quiet moments, when the world stands still,
Memories of you flood in,our friend with an indomitable will, hard working ,resilient and intentional about life.
Chioma you were indeed a bright light extinguished, too soon to comprehend,
Leaving us with great memories, on which we'll always find solace.
Chi, you were not just my classmate, we became colleagues at Vedic lifecare hospital and more importantly you were my friend, you’ll always say keep pushing you know my story, you were inspirational.
For us who were privileged to have known her, Her laughter was infectious, her smile so warm and radiant .
In her presence, life's challenges took on lesser form.
She touched the hearts of those she came across with genuine kindness
Though she's gone from our sight, her spirit lives on, in the bundle of joy you created,
In the friendships she nurtured, in the patients you took care of, and in the hearts of her family that hold fond memories of her
As we grieve the loss of our dear friend Chioma today,
We find solace in knowing her love is here to stay.
Though tears may fall, and our hearts ache with deep sorrow,
We'll celebrate her life today and always
In her memory, we'll find strength to carry on,
For our dear Chioma's spirit will never truly be gone.
It is difficult to write , Rest in Peace dear friend
Forever cherished, never forgotten.

May your Soul and all the Souls of faithfully departed through the Mercy of God Rest In perfect Peace IJN.
Dear Chioma (Chiomsky), you will forever remain in our hearts. Rest well Chiomsky.
Dear Chioma,
Your light shines in our hearts. Your laughter, kindness, and warmth remain etched in our souls. Your absence is deeply felt, but your spirit lives on in the love and memories we hold close.
Rest in peace Dear Chioma
My darling Chioma,
I wish this was all a nightmare to wake up from.
You are one of the strongest people I know. Always cheerful despite any hardship you may be going through.
We clicked immediately when we worked together at Vedic Lifecare Hospital, Lagos Nigeria. We would talk about the many plans that the future held from us and did we achieve them!! From PLAB runs to relocating etc.
I remember the last time we saw during your church wedding to darling Desmond. You looked so radiant.
Death where is that stung! I mourn this very great loss.
It is my hope that the Lord wraps His arms around Desmond and Muna to comfort them. Pls keep watching over them with your love.
May your soul rest in peace, Chioma❤️❤️❤️
Love forever,
Bimbo
Chy dear, my Mpompo nwa ,
Dearest friend and sister, my confidant and no 1 support.
Everything still feels so surreal and for some reason , i keep foolishly hoping to be told that you have woken up.
Everywhere i turn, there is something to remind me of you.
For every breaking news that has occured recently, my first thought is to call and chat with you and i imagine how the discussion would have gone.
But alas, you are no more.
Oh Chy! , how is this happening ?
All i have are memories of our times together: our tears, cries,prayers, joys, wins, celebrations, laughters,gists, gossips,shoppings,cookings, meals, parties.
You were always there .For the big moments and even the little ones. Especially the little ones.
It was you who held me when my husband was in hospital last year.
You insisted on coming over just to be with me despite my claim that i was fine.
You spent almost the whole day with me that day.
Sat with me quietly while i cooked, took over the washing of the dishes when i accidentally cut my hand out of distress, did school runs with me , was there to pick me from the floor after i fell from the stairs, helped to pick my husband from the hospital on his discharge.
You were always there.
For everyone....your husband, family, friends, colleagues, patients, even strangers.
Your life was phenomenal.
You were exceptional. One of a kind. An angel in human form.
You are a gift that keeps giving, even to the end.
Your good works speak for you.
You are forever in our hearts, fondly remembered by what you have done.
It's sad to see you being laid to rest.
It's hard to say farewell.
The tears have refused to stop and i am yet to understand this.
However, i know that as God allowed it, it's for a good reason.
And i will pray and wait that clarity on this comes, perhaps.
In the meantime i take solace in the fact that you lived a very full,meaningful,fulfilled and impactful life and that God,your maker, whom you loved has called you home to rest in His bossom.
So, go well my beloved.
Gaa nke oma Nne.
Adieu Chy baby.
Till we meet to part no more.
Chioma….. this is so unreal to us. I still cry when I am a lone and keep recalling the brief but extremely wonderful moments my family and I shared with both you and Duncan when you last visited.
You are an angel and I am certain Heaven gained a Saint. Words can not describe what an amazing person you are. We will forever treasure the gift of MUNA you blessed us with and will always tell your godson what an amazing person you were.
We love you and will always keep your memories safe in our hearts.
From Simeon Odumuh and Family
Dear Chioma,
Today I bought you Roses and guess what? Ziko asked me who the roses were for. I told him they were for you and he asked if he could come with me to give them to you. How do I explain this to him? He keeps praying for you to get better so you can take care of Muna.
I still remember vividly the sound of your laughter when I told you to take off your earrings when we got to the ER on that fateful day. If only I had known…
I wake up each day wishing this was a dream but here we are.
You were pure of heart, genuinely caring, a wonderful mother to your son and the best wife to your Husband.
I am glad to have crossed paths with a soul a beautiful as you and the memories we had will forever be cherished.
Rest in peace my friend.Till we meet to part no more.
Ifeoma Obani.
My dear Chioma, it’s really hard to believe that you are gone! It still feels like a bad dream; that l am yet to wake up from. How could this have happened l asked, but I know we can’t question God. He and he alone can answer that question. I believe that he saw you suffering and he called you home. My prayer is that for God to continue to give those you left behind the strength to continue, especially your husband and little Muna. May your light continue to shine through them. You’re gone but never forgotten. You will always be in our hearts forever. Ga nke oma, as the angles awaits you. Gone but never forgotten! We all will dearly miss you, and will always remember the memories and legacy you left behind. Ijeoma!
Chi, you were exceptional as a friend. You consistently went the extra mile for those close to your heart. Your unwavering faith, which I deeply admired, was matched by your immense passion and abundant love.
Composing this message is incredibly difficult to fathom.
May your beautiful soul find eternal peace, my cherished friend..
Chioma!
I still wonder why nobody has woken me up from this bad dream.
It all happened like a flash. My family had a nice time with yours just 1 day before this happened and I can’t still believe those were parting moments for us.
I remember all the things we joked about telling Muna when he grew up. How I wished he heard them directly from your mouth! We will Keep and cherish those memories and by Gods grace, tell him all of it.
You were a calm , simple and soft-spoken person who people felt relaxed being around. Trust me, if we could avert this, we would..but we can’t because we’re just mortals.
I choose to thank God for your life , for all the challenges you bravely overcame , for the gift of Muna and my brother Desmond!
Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ , till we meet on that resurrection morning!
Chidinma, Reyes, Ikenna , Tobenna , grandma and a host of friends bid you farewell!!
It is well!!
My Dear Chioma,
My heart is very heavy! I have found it hard to come to terms with your untimely painful death. We had plans to see and celebrate and the fact that none of it would happen is so painful. This pain pierces deeep! Our time with you last year would be one we would forever cherish.
Your godson misses you and I’m sure he would hold that last visit dear to his heart.
I miss your kind heart and peaceful aura! I miss your soft laugh whenever I hail you with all those names! My Chi Moneyyy!! You will never be forgotten.
My dear friend, continue to rest peacefully in the bossom of the Lord! I love and miss you so much, it truly hurts
Chioma, it is very difficult to accept the fact that you have transited to the land of Spirits. Your beautiful person and soul will be missed, we take heart that you left us a handsome boy that will keep your essence alive in the land of the living. LANU UDO! Desmond, I pray God to grant you the strength and fortitude to travel this audious life journey that the premature lose of your beloved wife has hoisted on you. We your extended family stand ready to help lighten that load. May almighty God keep you safe and Shower his Anointing Grace on your son, Amen.
It's very hard to say good bye to my best friend and sister. Death has ended a wonderful and amazing friendship of 19 years, so sad. We had plans for this October little did I know you won't be alive for us to execute it. To that one friend of mine who was selfless, gentle, Loving, warm, peaceful, intelligent , ever willing to come through for me ...... Adieu
Adieu my mambebe( as I fondly called you)
Rest on Bestie...

IN LOVING MEMORY OF CHIOMA – THE COMPLETE WOMAN
I sometimes find it hard to believe how life's clichés manifest themselves. The saying of "why do the good die young" rings over and over in my head and I have struggled to understand how God will bring such marvelous people and then take them back so quickly.
Chioma was a complete person. She had a firm personal, calm but clearly exceptionally intelligent. She had enough going for her but she chose to be humble
She came into our lives through our good friend Duncan and it was clear to anyone who looked, how much they complimented each other. She was someone who had values, they shared values together. Values of living life to its fullest irrespective of the circumstances.
Overcoming all challenges and thriving in spite of it. Though her years with us were limited, she will always be fondly remembered by those who came across her.
I always remember the last time we saw, and it remains surreal to me that she is no longer with us in this realm but we believe she is still around through her memories and has simply moved to another realm.
She will be fondly remembered, and I pray she continues to rest with the Lord till we meet again.
Dr. Chinedu Obikili
Dr. Chioma, a beacon of warmth, grace, and care, left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She was a paragon of friendliness, always ready with a smile and a kind word. Her accommodating spirit knew no bounds, making everyone feel valued and cherished.
In her nurturing embrace, many found solace and support. She was a pillar of strength, embodying the very essence of care and tenderness.
Though her time with us was tragically brief, her legacy of love and selflessness will forever resonate in our hearts. Chioma leaves behind a legacy of kindness, a testament to the profound impact one person can have on the world.
May her memory be a source of comfort, and may her spirit continue to inspire us all.

TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED WIFE!!
Chioma, it cannot be imagined how much I and the entire family have missed you.
You were a sunshine but unfortunately, your light did not last long and I continue to ask why?. .. is the most popular question that we always present to our maker when things go wrong and for me, I have presented the same question to our maker!
I can testify for sure that you were happy in your husband's home that you wouldn't have chosen to go back to your maker so soon!
For the short period you stayed with us, we found in you a calm, respectful, happy, good hearted and well nurtured person "WHAT A LOSS”.
My only consolation is that I had the opportunity to interact with you a day before you fell in coma....I still remember the jokes we made concerning your new born baby's behaviour that same Sunday evening before the tragedy struck!
All I can tell you is that we always love you even as you have passed on because you were not only a wife but also a daughter to us and a special one for that matter!
You are gone but your name and memory will never be deleted in Obih's family!
"ADIEU MY DEAR"

TRIBUTE TO OUR CHIOMA: MODESTY PERSONIFIED
I have not shirked the responsibility of writing but find this piece somewhat difficult.
Last year, precisely in October, when you visited home, we were all together. Even where my memory fades, I cannot forget the promise you made to our mother- your mother-in-law that she will be expecting her grandchild from you soon.
You fulfilled this promise. Unfortunately, you are no more with us. We cherished your meekness and kindness of heart; your comportment and zeal; your support and submissiveness to your husband- DUNCAN; which made the union a happy home.
PAINFUL AS IT IS but the creator who called you to come over has prepared a place for you.
REST, REST, REST in His bossom.
BARR. CHIDI OBIH
IN LOVING MEMORY OF AN AMAZING FRIEND/COLLEAGUE
It is with immense sorrow that I write out these words to pay tribute to a dear friend. Chioma was a brave, intelligent, selfless and humble person, a rare combination of qualities to find in just one person.
The short time your family spent with mine will forever be cherished. If I had superpowers, I will surely have prevented you from ascending the pearly gates just yet, because I feel you were destined for greater things and the world would have been a better place with you in it. Unfortunately, I am a mere mortal, and I cannot question God, so I have accepted the fact that He called you back early for a reason!
My only consolation right now is that you’ve left this sinful world filled with iniquities and sadness to a place filled with Joy and laughter! Ifeoma, Zikora, Harida and Somadina bid you farewell.
Jee nke oma ❤️CHIOMA❤️
Ifeoma, Zikora, Harida and Somadina bid you farewell.
Dr. Ifeanyi Obani
TRIBUTE TO AN AMAZING WOMAN
Your death came to me and Obih's family as a surprise. It started on the 30th day of July 2023, at about 1.35pm, when your husband called and said, "Brother, please pray for Chioma. She is in the hospital." There and then, I went into intercessory and covenant prayers with several men and women of God. Every effort to save your life was futile. Though I had wanted to question God but remembered that HE said that in all things, we should give him thanks.
Adieu a woman of peace! Adieu, my doctor!
I'm quite convinced that you have made heaven. If there's reincarnation, you'll still come back to our family, but without this pain....
Rest on, Angel.
Rest in peace until the resurrection day.
Chief Collins Obih and family. (Brother-in-law)
TRIBUTE TO AN AMAZING AND GENEROUS FRIEND
If anyone had told me that you would not be with us today, I would have cursed them. News of your passing was a huge shock. How do I make sense of this loss? My beautiful, brilliant and elegant friend has left this world. I remember how you always stood tall with confidence.
Your kindness and generosity were one of your best qualities. A friend that is closer than one’s kin. My dearest Chioma, why did you have to go so soon?
I miss you so very much ezigbo enyim. Did you forget we had made plans to spend a holiday together? Oh my heart hurts so bad. Everyday I wake up hoping this was just a bad dream. But you are truly gone. I have come to accept this reality.
You will live on in my heart. I hope you find eternal rest in God’s bosom.
Farewell my dearest.
Oluchi Nwambara
TRIBUTE TO CHIOMA: KINDNESS DEFINED

TRIBUTE TO CHIOMA: SELFLESS ONE
God called you home, extended His arms and opened the doors of heaven for you. Heaven is more beautiful because my sister in--law is there, walking with the angels in Jesus loving care. I will always love and miss you. Words cannot express the depth of pain your demise has caused me and the entire Obih's family. You are surely now an angel up above. Chi baby, in you this is what I saw. "PERFECTION, LOVE AND SELFLESSNESS. You were a very peaceful and calm person, always cared dearly for anyone you crossed path with, ready to help in any way. We all love you and will greatly miss you. Dear Chioma, continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ till we meet to part no more. Adieu Chioma.
C.Y Obih (Brother-in-law)
TRIBUTE TO CHIOMA: THE KIND ONE
Chi, you were truly exceptional as a friend. Your constant willingness to go the extra mile for those dear to you set you apart. Your unwavering faith, something I deeply admired, was matched only by your boundless passion and abundant love.
The fact that I find myself writing these words is unbelievably painful. Your passing has left a profound void in my heart. May your gentle soul find eternal peace, my dear friend!

TRIBUTE TO CHIOMA: AMAZING AND SUPPORTIVE COLLEAGUE
I had the pleasure of working with Chioma in the Emergency Department at Northampton General Hospital. She was an extremely capable emergency doctor, right from the start of her time with us. I was struck by her confidence and her determination to be the best doctor that she could be. I was always pleased to be on shift with her. She was quietly efficient and made the job look easy - I think she just acquired new skills and knowledge quickly and was great at applying her knowledge. Chioma was friendly, supportive of her colleagues and fun to be with. She will be very much missed.
