Its so sad to hear that the young and brilliant girl who scored seven A1 in her WAEC in 2019 is dead.
Nationnewslead reports that 17-year-old Chisom Chukwuneke, was the best graduating student in her school, Hall of Fame School, last year.
She won many awards in her school, and now death has caught short the life of this young and brilliant girl.
The father of the girl who is a Professor, shared the sad story of how his daughter died on his Facebook page.
According to what he posted, the young girl started complaining of having a pain in the leg. And just like every father that desires the best for their child, he decided to fly her to South Africa because he didn’t have trust in the medical system of Nigeria.
At first, they were happy with her recovery rate, but they never knew it was going to end this way.
They started treatment there in South Africa, and they were treating the sickness that started as a leg pain, and later grew into something else for over a year.
The father talked about his late daughter’s character, and how she was strong and did her best to fight the sickness.
He also commented on the gift his daughter promised him before his birthday, he didn’t know that the gift will be her death.
Below is screenshot of his post on Facebook…
ANGELIC EXIT OF A GENIUS
Just like a dream.
But the realities are crystal now
Just a pain on the leg.
That snowballed to a devastating episode,
The battle started earnestly
I hear you call daddy my leg is paining me.
I watch as you lie abed with pains
As restless and worried as I can be,
I promised to do everything humanly possible
With glaring poor health care in Nigeria
off we went to South Africa.
We were happy at your initial recovery.
Not knowing the war was just to begin
We fought it together for more than a year in SA,
You were an embodiment of intelligence of inestimable value
Above all an indefatigable personality
Courageous in the face of glaring uncertainty.
You were strong and philosophical
My strength and motivation even in sickness
You wanted your dad freed while you go on to rest,
In the bosom of our Lord
Where there is no more pain
You spoke in parables about a special gift 10 days earlier,
and left a day to my birthday.
Never did I know your special birthday gift,
You promised was your Glorious exit.
You exhibited your virtuoso and dazzling intellects,
to the bewilderment of the doctors at Wits Donald Gordon Hospital Parktown Johannesburg South Africa
Today your name is written in Gold over there.
Like a shining light in the tunnel,
having a dream for an African Child,
with less privilege and opportunity like you,
to access good health care.
This your dream I must ensure
Forever the strong one’s been you.
Physically no more but everywhere with us
We are with you, you are with us
Farewell to His glory Enyinnia
Daddy’s Girl
always in our hearts,
you will remain.
Prof. Felix Chukwuneke
It’s a pity we lost that brilliant gem. May her soul rest in peace.
