Chude, was a brilliant scholar, possessor of an inveterate smile (God, that smile), the best of brothers, the funniest of uncles and the best of friends to all who knew him. Chude was a young man who loved life and tried to live life to the fullest. In his brief sojourn on earth, he touched so many lives who are now for the better for having known him. His life and legacy lives on in the lives of his friends and family.
Chude is survived by his mother, Mrs. Edith Okwuwa, his siblings, Ngozi, IK, Ify, Jindu and Isioma. And also, his grandfather, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
He will be dearly missed.
