THE remains of the late Mr. Adindu Casmir Ohamara, who was until his death recently a staff of United Bank for Africa (UBA), were laid to rest on Friday May 17, this year, in his hometown, Ogbaku, Imo State, after a funeral mass at St. Kevin’s Catholic Church, Ogbaku, Owerri Archdiocese.
Ohamara was born 34 years ago to the late Brendan and Mrs. Antonia Ohamara of Ogbuke Ogbaku in Mbaitolu Local Council Area of Imo State. He attended Community Primary School, Ogbuke, and Presentation Secondary School, Ogbaku. He studied at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where he graduated in 2002 with a Bachelors Degree in Sociology.
During his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in 2003, he served with First City Monument Bank (FCMB) and thereafter was retained as a core staff of the bank. He later moved over to the defunct Oceanic Bank in 2007 and served till 2009. He rejoined FCMB in 2010 where he worked till December 2012. In January 2013, he joined UBA where he served until his death on April 20, 2013.
The late Ohamara was a committed and dedicated member of Saint Dominic’s Catholic Church, Yaba, Lagos. He faithfully served the Lord under the Lazarus Food Ministry (LAZFOM) where he visited inmates of Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Prisons, and humbly served them food every Sunday.
He was honourable, hospitable, generous, and dedicated to the service of God and mankind. His integrity was never in doubt as his track records spoke volume everywhere he worked and to everyone who ever had a dealing with him. He lived and died serving people and touching lives. He was a philanthropist, and believed in human development; hence he gave life a meaning to many, both young and old. To him life is all about peace, love and kindness to all men. His testimonies abound. His sweet memories live in the hearts of those whose lives he touched and in those who loved him with passion.
Adi, as he was fondly called, did not die an ordinary man; he left legacies and footprints for which he is being remembered. He had dreams and aspirations to make the world a happy and better place for his generation. Our prayer is that God will raise a generation that will fulfill his dreams.
He is survived by his wife, Ijeoma Doris Ohamara (nee Ukah, whom he married on December 8, 2012; an aged mother, brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces, among many relatives.
Adi, we love you, but God loves you more. May your gentle and sincere soul continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Adieu, our beloved.
