Eulogy to Chief Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme, PhD, Ide, GCON
Ide, you were a legend among men, the reason I once likened you to Heracles, Nestor, and Odysseus in one being, given your bravery, wits, intellect, and strength. Although innately gentle, you never hesitated to adorn the toga of a hot-headed ‘rebel’ in pursuit of common good. No wonder the Ikoro (giant wooden gong) has been sounding in a frenzy of unending and unbridled adulations since you passed on, for the Ikoro hails a man in proportion to his heroics.
