Like the figurative вЂOliver TwistвЂ™ that would not be satisfied, Patrick Onu Edem still yearned for more academic feats. He proceeded to the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program in Akwa Ibom State and obtained a certificate of national service in July 31, 1976. He graduated in June 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree (BSC) at the Second Class honors (upper division) level. Shortly after the war, he was admitted to the Prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) to study Vocational Business Education. The Nigerian/Biafra Civil War of 1967 to 1970 caused Elder Patrick Onu Edem's academic pursuit to suffer a momentary setback, but his resolute and zestful desire for education would not be deterred by circumstances. His perfervid quest for academic excellence inspired him on to acquire the University of London Advanced Level General Practice of Education in 1966. He obtained the Teachers Grade III certificate on 1st January 1960 and then the Teachers Grade II certificate in Principles and Practice of Education and Geography in the year 1964. He then proceeded to the Church of Scotland Mission Boys Vocational School, Ididep Itu in present-day Akwa Ibom state, where he successfully completed a one-year course of preliminary training as a certified teacher. He completed Standard VI at the Ejikewu Church of Scotland Mission School in the year 1954, finishing first place in a class of 32 pupils. His academic pursuit began in 1947 when he was enrolled at Church of Scotland Mission School, Amaigbo Edda (now Amaigbo Primary School). Well known for taking a resolute stand against dishonesty, irresponsibility, and moral decadence Elder Patrick was quite a renowned disciplinarian.Д®lder Patrick Onu Edem was born in 1939 to Mazi Edem Omaka Udu and Mrs Alu Edem Omaka (NEE Okoro) of Ndikwuoudu royal family in Ezi Ukwu coumpound, Amaigbo Edda, Etiti Autonomous Community, Afikpo South LGA of Ebonyi State.Дespite finding himself in a family and environment where western education was not a common thing, Patrick Onu decided against all odds to follow through the ladder of western education. He was an unassuming and assertive fellow a career, a philanthropist, a peacemaker, and a quintessential cynosure. EDEM.ДЄccording to Bob Gass, вЂњour life is a storybook with many pages each day we have to fill those pages with responsibilities to God, to man, and to ourselves.вЂќ Elder Patrick Onu Edem is one of those who fulfilled these tripartite responsibilities in their lifetime.

Rest on in the bosom of the lord GREAT ELDER P.O. Still, I will forfeit any wisdom for the sake of having him back. And I am grateful that I am becoming a more fully realized human being, a more caring, compassionate and empathetic person because of dad. His kindness and generosity will be remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

His character and traits are things I will cherish and take with me forever.Дad will forever be in our hearts until the day they stop beating. He was not just my dad, he was my muse, instructor, teacher, prayer warrior, disciplinarian and advisor. He was the most altruistic person I have ever known with no attachment to material things, he would literally give you the food he was about to eat. Nobody can be perfect, but dad was as close to being the most perfect being anyone could ever know. And by this measure, dad was immeasurable and fantabulous. I believe the true measure of a man is how much love he gives, how selflessly he shares whatever he can to help others, how consistently he lifts up those around him with a kind work, a funny joke, a compliment or a humble ear.

The measure of a man is not the amount of money he has, possessions he owns, power he holds nor the professional success he has achieved over the years. I take comfort in knowing that dad is no longer in pain and suffering is no longer something he has to endure. His life, his influence, his energy is inextricably linked to mine and I now take comfort in that. Even during his dying days, he would never stop dishing out words of encouragement and motivation, neither will he stop being prayerful. He would want us to appreciate each other and our future. In life and now in death, he wouldnвЂ™t want us to focus on the sadness of his death, but instead focus on the happiness in our lives. Dad was a humble man, he never liked to be the center of attention. I lost dad, but only in body, not in spirit. There is this quote by Henry James that says, вЂњsorrow comes in great waves, but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us, it passes and we remainвЂќ, and thereвЂ™s another quote that says, вЂњgrief is love unfinishedвЂќ.
