Trader does the happy dance
Naturally, the aged trader was not only elated with joy and uncontrollable excitement, but she also went into prayers for Akunyili, raining blessings on him and dancing while doing so.
Reacting to this, Chidiogo said such memories lessen the load of grief currently experienced by the family.
She said:
"The load of our grief is lessened by videos such as this. The story goes that on his way home, he saw an old woman with a heavy wheelbarrow full of plantains. He continued home, got the needed cash and came back to where she was, and proceeded to buy all her plantains.
"He counts out the money to the soundtrack of her cries of joy and blessing as she dances away. "Nothing is as good as giving joy,” he adds, a happy smile on his face."
Heart-touching things late Chike Akunyili did before he was shot dead
Meanwhile, it was reported that the painful and rather overwhelming news of the murder of Akunyili was like a big blow to Nigerians between Tuesday, September 28 and Wednesday, September 29.
A close friend who spoke with The Nation noted that late Akunyili was with members of the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA) at Sharon Hall, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha, on Tuesday hours before he was killed.
The source listed about three things that the deceased did before his murder. One of which was that while giving his speech at the occasion, Akunyili spoke glowingly about his beloved wife who was separated from him by death in June 2014.
