Ode to late Dr. Hauwa E. Shekarau by Oseme Peremene Anthony Esq. Immediate past chairman and NEC Rep of the NBA Idemili Branch

Ngugi said ” Weep Not Child”
Why won’t I weep as a child?
Dr. Hauwa Shekarau is gone!!
For many a days gone.
Like a candle in the wind,
Sojourned boldly in the wind.
An Amazon, an enigma, social crusader.
Heart as soft as steel,
Midas touch of Unity Bar,
Pride of the outer Bar,
The Amina of FIDA,
Mother Theresa to all.
As you journey Home,
Please tell them!!
Tell Gani, Williams, Ikeazor
The Akpata’s are holding forth.
Tell Oputa, Eso, Tobi, Obaseki
Judicial ink is still flowing boldly.
You said I should not weep?
Okay, I weep no more, but why?
Really!!! Nanaowei mbana,
You did not go unnoticed!
Giant footprints visible
Birthed many Hauwas
Baton passed unto the Hauwas
I weep no more
Yes I weep no more
Works of Hauwa echoes in eternity.
Hence, I am consoled,
And so we should.
Fare Thee well, Learned Friend
