Oh,
we
gather
here
today
To
remember
a
queen,
Ezinne
Lolo
Mercy
Nwakire
Born
in
nineteen
forty-three,
a
light
began
to
shine
To
Iche
Osisiogu
Otimgburu,
a
life
so
divine
In
Ogbedere
Umuoke
Obowo,
her
journey
took
its
start
A
woman
of
the
people,
with
a
compassionate
heart
She
walked
with
grace,
she
walked
with
pride
With
the
spirit
of
a
leader
deep
inside
Ezinne
Lolo
Mercy
Nwakire,
we
call
your
name
today
In
the
halls
of
our
memory,
you
never
fade
away
Business
woman,
politician,
a
pillar
in
the
town
You
wore
your
life
of
service
like
a
golden
crown
Rest
well,
Ezinne,
in
the
arms
of
the
light
Your
legacy
is
burning,
shining
ever
bright
She
joined
with
Okaruo
Alexander
Nwakire,
a
union
strong
Building
a
home
where
love
and
wisdom
did
belong
Ten
children
were
the
blessing
that
the
heavens
sent
her
way
From
the
first
son
Akujuobi,
leading
in
the
fray
To
Engineer
Obinna,
steady
in
his
stride
And
her
pride,
King
Asika,
standing
by
her
side
Ezinne
Lolo
Mercy
Nwakire,
we
call
your
name
today
In
the
halls
of
our
memory,
you
never
fade
away
Business
woman,
politician,
a
pillar
in
the
town
You
wore
your
life
of
service
like
a
golden
crown
Rest
well,
Ezinne,
in
the
arms
of
the
light
Your
legacy
is
burning,
shining
ever
bright
King
Asika
stands,
reflecting
all
the
love
you
gave
Remembering
the
mother
who
was
valiant
and
so
brave
From
Obowo
to
the
world,
your
influence
is
vast
A
story
of
a
matriarch
meant
always
to
last
Ten
branches
on
the
tree,
all
reaching
for
the
sky
Your
values
and
your
teachings
will
never
truly
die
We
honor
every
sacrifice,
every
gentle
word
you
spoke
In
the
memories
we
cherish,
and
the
promise
that
we
broke (
Nna,
rest
in
peace,
rest
in
peace)
Ezinne
Lolo
Mercy
Nwakire,
we
call
your
name
today
In
the
halls
of
our
memory,
you
never
fade
away
Business
woman,
politician,
a
pillar
in
the
town
You
wore
your
life
of
service
like
a
golden
crown
Rest
well,
Ezinne,
in
the
arms
of
the
light
Your
legacy
is
burning,
shining
ever
bright
Rest
well,
Mama
King
Asika
holds
your
flame
We
will
always
speak
your
name
Ezinne
Lolo
Mercy,
sleep
in
peace.
