The
late father of one of Nigeria’s popular models, Marylyn Ojespadi Nwene nee
Ojehonmon who died recently has been buried in Edo State in grand style. The
beautiful damsel who was once a notable fashion model and catwalk expert before
relocating to the U.S lost her father, Pa Chief John Ojehonmon to the cold
hands of death.
The
deceased, a retired customs officer was a devout Christian and a man of several
immense parts who meant many things to many people.
Pa Ojehonmon was an Altar boy in the Catholic Church, he later became a
chorister, then a teacher, a great writer and very good artist- he could draw
anything he was asked to. He was a Customs officer for so many years
before he retired and started his own Clearing and Forwarding Agency, Owan All
Marine Ltd.
According
to Marylyn who’s the family spokesperson, Pa Ojehonmon who’s survived with
children and great grand children will be remembered for his good nature and
uprightness in the society.
He
succumbed to fate after a protracted battle with prostate cancer. A befitting
wake keep service led by Rev. Father Charles Ufomadu from Imo state was held in his honour on Friday,
September 23rd, 2011 in Los Angeles,
California U.S.A where friends and well wishers trooped out to pay him
the last respect.
The
remains of the devout man of God were committed to mother earth in his home
town, Sabongida Ora, Edo State on Saturday,
October 29th, 2011 while Christian wake keep held the previous day.
Here are the burial pictures.
