It was a sombre mood when the Udeaja’s family in Anambra State played host to different people from different walks of life as they came together for the burial of their son, an icon, the late Chief Dr. Godwin Chimezie Udeaja, PhD., Oba 1 of Ozobulu.
The event started with condolence visits, followed by an all night wake-keep, then the lying in state of the body and burial in his Uruezi Egbema compound.

Late Chief Dr. Godwin Chimezie Udeaja, PhD. who was an academician, a renowned orthopaedic doctor, an astute businessman, a true Nigerian to the core who knew and appreciated culture and tradition, died in a UK hospital aged 69years and his widow, Mrs. Ifeoma Udeaja (Oji-Ugo) and her children – Dr. Yagazie (‘Gaz’) and Engr. Ikenna came down to Nigeria to give him his last respect through a burial befitting his status.
The guests included: Royal Fathers, Technocrats, Business Colleagues, Kinsmen, Kindreds, Villagers, well wishers and so many people he had touched their lives in one way or another. Not forgetting to add the Ijele and Agbalanze masquerades.
More to come.
