Rest in Peace Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. I REMEMBER when you gave me money because I stayed up all night working on your Brief. I used the money to purchase a Jamb form and went on to study Computer Science. I am a cinematographer today yet that singular act changed my life.
Thank you.
A man who gave of his free will without discrimination. A man who sought to develop his home town Nnewi with all he had. A man who didn’t know tribe or religion. Rest in peace Ifeanyi Ubah. May God receive your soul.
