You would have added another year on the 14th of January, but God wanted you to be with Him. May your gentle and kind soul continue to rest in the Lord's bosom. You are truly "forever missed"

I am sad and sorrowed to hear the death and passing of Hubert. I met Hubert and wife Uche during the Nigerian civil war. We were part of a vibrant Scripture Union group at Ubulu in Imo State Nigeria during the later stages of the war. At the end of the civil war, Uche was a very much beloved elder sister during our years at the University. I was part of the crew at their wedding. Last I met him and Uche was in the later years of the last century when my baby sister Joy Chituru passed. My sister Joy always asked us to pray for Christians in very challenging leadership and high profile jobs in the country at that time. May God grant Hubert and Uche's family comfort during this season of mourning. Emeka Igwe, PhD, DIC ... etc

I wrestled with whether or not I should include my own words here. Who am I, after all? I have known Uncle Hubert for only the past decade, probably shorter than anyone else here who shared their words, but I know from experience that every word can be a comfort.

Everyone has already proclaimed the amazing character of Uncle Hubert, his humility, compassion for all, and powerful love for God. Everyone has already shared the truth that all of us will be reunited in the Anointed One for an eternity. What else can I say?

As for me, I will miss his "my prophet Elijah" greeting in his beautiful voice at the end of service as we embraced. The fond title was more for my homeless appearance than any prophetic gifting. How is it possible to bring attention to a man's homeless appearance and yet make it endearing, carrying no offense or having no malice? Was it his sharp mind, his true loving heart, or a divine gifting?

I first met him as a new member to Calvary Christian Fellowship in a Bible study small group. As the weeks passed, I wondered why I was facilitating the group rather than this man of God (Hubert).

My wife and I were honored beyond words to attend his lovely wedding anniversary. We heard testimony after testimony. Truly, Uncle Hubert and Auntie Uche are pillars of any congregation they join and bless.

When my mother passed from this world, he made a point to visit and encourage me after all the commotion had calmed, one-on-one and face-to-face. He shared that his parents passed when he was much younger than me. He gave me a living example of joy after loss, and that joy need not be immediate, but can return and grow with time. We who follow Jesus the Christ have our expectant hope and eager excitement for that eternal reunion. At the same time, we have other loved ones here who need us. Death is a horrible separation, but the Lord conquered it. Therefore, we live and work for our loved ones here, and eagerly look forward to our reunion with those who have gone ahead.

Apostle Paul had the confidence to say to disciples who knew him, "Imitate me," because he walked that closely with God. In this time, in this environment, I cannot claim such a role model of anyone...except Uncle Hubert. He loved and walked with God, but he was not so "religiously minded" that he could not enjoy a simple game of soccer or empathize with the struggles of others. He knew the Scriptures and therefore the Truth, but he still had compassion for those who wandered from the Truth. I personally felt he would love me no matter my wrongs. He was gentle even when serious. He did not condemn, but he also stood immovable upon the Word of God. I never heard a quick retort, but instead he would give your words careful consideration before thoughtfully responding. Even when disagreeing, he was so kind and humble.

Uncle Humbert is the role model in my lifetime of "let your light shine before others," "an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity," thanksgiving, "model of good works," wisdom, steadfastness, gentleness, integrity, humility, and compassion. I am blessed to have known him.

To Auntie Uche, his children, his grandchildren, and to all his family...there are no words for your loss. The pain is so real and deep. Thank God for the blessings of years with him that the Lord has given. Better a year, a decade, five decades, of knowing him than to never have known him. Better to have been his wife, his child, his grandchild, than someone else's. His life on this earth is a beautiful blessing that we wish would have been longer. Yet we remember that eternity still awaits us, and he will be there.

Uncle Hubert, I am still short of words even till now. It pains me greatly to write this tribute, but God knows best. You were a father to Berti and I right from the time we met in Warri and you accepted to be our wedding sponsors. I will never forget the words of advice, the smiles, the encouragement, the hospital visitations when I was having challenges with child bearing. I can't also forget the last time you made out time to come visit us in Houston. I thank God almighty that He made our paths to cross and for all the good times. Though we would have wished that you spent more time with us here on earth, I know you are resting in the bosom of the Lord whom you loved so much. Rest on Uncle, until we meet to part no more. Our prayer is that God in his infinite mercy will console Aunty Uche and the rest of family and give them the fortitude to bear the great loss and continue to uphold the values you lived for. Adieu Uncle. May your great and loving soul continue to rest in peace.

Grandpa what a life you lived. I look back to each time we spoke and the love and wisdom you left me with. Thank you for encouraging me, especially during my time at UT because those were the days I needed it the most. Despite being so far away from my parents, Grandma and you were always home.
Thank you for my Aunty and Uncles, thank you for taking care of my Mum and being a father figure to her. She absolutely adored you and we in turn did so. Thank you for the love I saw between you and Grandma, an example that is referenced far and wide when people talk about a true partnership. Thank you for being gentle but also firm in who you were, a kind and good man of integrity.

Glad that we all got to experience your wholesome life.

Thank you

Tribute to Uncle Hubert

I have struggled with writing a tribute to you dear Uncle Hubert since the news of your passing on the 13th of January 2021, mostly because I couldn’t and still can’t come to terms with your passing.

You have been a long wonderful support for me and my family. It started quite early even before my marriage. You took more than just a cursory interest in my relationship with Obioma.

During our wedding, you secured the Shell RA Arena for our Wedding reception and Shell guest houses for many of our out of town guests. Did I mention that you were obviously the Chairman at the wedding reception. When we became brand new parents, you and Aunty Uche were around to give us the necessary assistance and tips for taking care of the new born baby.

Your doors were wide open for me to come to you for any assistance or counsel. You were so down to earth in approach and dealings. You made available to me a space in one of your properties to run my business, and that support made a huge difference in my business life.

Your lifestyle, actions and conducts were good models of how a Christian should behave. You touched lives in several ways, places and styles. I liken you as a shooting star, because you were a rare but necessary breed of a Christian. You loved the assembly of brethren. You were a great father and a very wonderful husband to Aunty Uche. I thank God Almighty for the gift of Uncle Hubert. May your soul rest in the bosom of the Lord, Amen

TRIBUTE TO A GENTLEMAN - UNCLE HUBERT.

Uncle, the news of your death came as a shock to us. Words are not enough to describe your personality. You were a rare gem as shown by the tributes pouring in. You had a good sense of humour.

Inspite of your accomplishments, you remained humble and a true servant of Christ. Thank you for being part of our lives.

For those you left behind - Auntie Uche, Ugo, Chi Chi, Chima and Uzo, may God give them the strength to bear this shocking loss.

Maureen and I miss you uncle.
Mama Uche miss you.
JNC Okereke family miss you.

Rest in peace uncle Hubert until we meet to part no more.

The Lord gave, the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. You loved the Lord and lived for him and served Him with integrity all the days of your life. You have gone home and we know your arrival was celebrated. You will be sorely missed, especially by Uche and the children. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and the extended family. Rest in the bosom of the Lord who loved you and saved you until we meet to part no more. Bishop Ken and Ngozi Okeke

Daddy,

I had delayed this tribute to you because I preferred denial that you had left us. When Arinze sent in a tribute, it was easy for me to hide under the guise that it was from both of us, but deep inside me I knew you would have expected me to say a few words.

You remained a daddy that cared for all of us. You taught us sincerity in Christ and how to constantly number our days. You exemplified Christian humility.

Your integrity and uprightness were infectious and your phone calls to ensure we are all doing well and still standing firm in the Lord were preceded with lots of laughter.

While I am saddened that we didn’t speak again before your surprising departure, I assure that Aunty Uche will remain well protected under the legal arrangement you carefully made. As usual, you placed others before yourself.

We miss you, but are comforted that we will reunite on that glorious morning.

Rest in perfect peace daddy.

Your daughter,
E-Lawyer (as you fondly called me)

We really got the news of the demise of our boss Oga Hubert with a heart full of sorrow for the great loss. But in all sincerity we console our selves that he lived a life full of dedication and service to both God and humanity. He was an epitome of righteousness and integrity. To work in a high profile environment like Shell in Nigeria and yet was humble enough to be a shining light of the love of Christ in his workplace community. As stated in the Epistle of James he was not only a hearer but also a doer of all that he imbibed as a an ardent and unequivocal follower of Christ.
As a young Engineer in Shell Nigeria several decades back he was our boss and mentor both in Port Harcourt, Lagos and Warri offices. He always endeared us to discharge our functions diligently but most of all to be above board in all our doings. He was a core professional who discharged his office with high sense of diligence and integrity. He left Shell with his head held high both among the staff and the host communities
Later on in life our path crossed again in Houston Texas where he lived not in retirement but doing that which he knew best to do, serving God and humanity. Some 7 years back we visited his home in North of Houston where he lived with his unassuming and humble wife, children and grandchildren. and asked him to honor us in our daughters wedding. He willingly accepted not only to chair the event but requested that our daughter and her husband come back for counselling before the marriage. At the wedding event his words of encouragement was a source of inspiration to all those who attended.
He really lived an exemplary and humble life exuding the life of Christ. As the Holy Spirit comforts and consoles us and the immediate family we are rest assured that Oga Hubert fought a good fight, and finished the race and has received his own crown of righteousness.
For those left behind and mourning him right now may his legacy of total service to God inspire us all that at the end like Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians, after we may have preached none us shall be a castaway in Jesus name. Adieu, we shall surely meet again.

Daddy as I called you from the day I met you, I have been in denial since you passed. Its really now setting in. What do I say about you? Where do I start? Since my family met you at ACF Houston, you showed us love, treated me like your daughter. Your sense of humor was just exciting. You never sugar coated anything..If it was not correct, you said so with love. You made me love our Lord Jesus more by the way you did things.
  Your level of puntuality amazing.
When my husband and I came to your home, we saw how far you you lived from ACF , but you were always one of the first to make it there on time.
  I learned a lot from you. A man of wisdom and integrity. You will be missed greatly but will forever be in my heart.My famiily prayed for you everyday from the day you were hospitalized until we passed.
  Spoke with you that morning, lillte did I know it will be the last time I will hear your voice.
 Who will check on us again like you did? You made me not to miss my dad who left us in 2011 too much, now you are gone suddenly. Well I will not mourn like those without hope. I know you are in a better place with our Lord. Rest in peace daddy. I will emulate the things you did. You were consistent in your ways. Very kind.  At your wake service my God everyone sad the same things about you. Tears just ran down my face.
Adieu daddy until we meet again.

Uncle Hubert's life modeled something really special. He was a rare, almost too good to be true, like a North star constantly pointing us in the direction of our better selves. Clearly, kindness was his super power. His ability to give of himself and his space was unbelievable. Made his home into a revolving door of sorts for folks aspiring or troubled or just family and friends. Had an orbit of people constantly drinking from his wells of kindness and wisdom which was truly remarkable. I often wondered how my aunt kept up with him. Kindred spirits I guess.

I certainly felt uncle Huberts love. My family and career are all splattered with his DNA. He got me my first gig as an undergrad intern which set me on my current career path. Even gave me my first mobile phone, a Nokia 3310 back in the day at PH. Sharon and I would always be grateful for the months in Houston and his guidance through our early days as parents.

I'll miss his warm persona, his principled grit, which was sometimes annoying depending on what side of the moral compass youre were operating in; and underlying all that, his deep and enduring faith. A Christian in the truest sense. I'll miss watching him and grandma Uche, always giggling under their breaths, like two peas in a pod and their never ending cycle of morning devotions.

Thinking about today as he is laid to rest, my heart breaks. The world needs more lights like uncle Hubert. Would have loved to spend more time together, perhaps show him how much his life has meant; but we're reminded of the inevitability of the seasons of life. Thank you uncle Hubert for the life life you lived and the example you showed. We'll try to make you proud.

TRIBUTE TO OUR UNCLE, MAZI HUBERT OKUGO NWOKOLO

It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that we write this tribute to our uncle, Mazi Hubert Okugo Nwokolo. He had a wonderful personality - humble, kind, loving, soft spoken, caring and a good soldier of Christ. Your sudden death came as a rude shock. We prayed for a fast recovery but God in his infinite wisdom knows best. Sometimes, words can neither express the pain nor describe loss in any meaningful way. But we thank God for the memories we shared.

May our Lord protect your family - Auntie Uche, Ugo, ChiChi, Chima, Uzo and all the loved ones you are leaving behind and give them strength to cope with your loss.

We pray that God Almighty grant you safe resting in perfect peace till resurrection day, Amen!!!
ADIEU OUR LOVING UNCLE!
Adieu, Great one!
May you journey well with the angels and find your peace in God’s bosom.

To my special Uncle “Love Courier”
Thanks for stooping below your post, to courier emails between my now husband and I before we even knew what was brewing.
You could see our love growing, you called it and continued to tease me about it. 

Thanks for the love you showed my husband and our family. Thank you so much for being such an example to Oji and I and to so many others.

Uncle Hubert, we’ll miss you terribly but I am comforted by the fact that you lived such a rich and purposeful life. We’ll see you on the other side ...with that mischievous smile of yours.


Rest well.

TRIBUTE TO HUBERT OKUGO NWOKOLO

Okugo, I got to know you in the early years of my marriage. At that time, you and Uche were living just a stone's throw from us in Lagos before your job took you out of Lagos. Only two compounds separated our two.

In 2014, during the battle over Emy's life in Dallas, you and Uche came around to encourage me. I will never forget.

Then in 2018, when my daughter gave birth to her second child, you again came to see us, this time you and Ugo. You left an indelible impression on me each time. You remained consistently of a noble character. You remained the same very caring and gentle Okugo.

You have only gone ahead of us. You ran your own race well and you finished well. I pray that those of us still running will also finish well so that, by and by, we shall all be reunited in glory never to part again in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Uncle Hubert was a kind, generous, Godly man, who had a great sense of humor and whose quiet humility commanded the utmost respect. He was a wonderful example of a loving husband and father, a doting grandfather and the best progressive Naija Uncle you could ask for.

My fond memories of Uncle started in Ogunu, Warri when we would attend weekly bible study with our parents and Friday youth bible club in his home; always so welcoming he would greet us with a smile and a joke ready to go! Even back then as a child I recall how he was so approachable, so warm, so distinct, we always looked forward to visiting.

Over the years, I was blessed to see Uncle at various points as an adult, while in undergrad and grad school, on my wedding day and at various joint family events and celebrations with now my own children in tow. Uncle aged like fine wine, more wisdom and grace and as always so playful with the kids.

It's hard to accept that he's gone, that I won't see his trademark smile or be in his quiet presence again, but I'm thankful to have all the wonderful memories I do. He left and indelible impression on me and I know on so many others, in so many ways, not the least of which was to aspire to emulate him in his Christian walk, marked by steadfastness and a heart for God's people.

You are and will continue to be missed Uncle. I am comforted only knowing you are getting your well deserved rest in our Father's kingdom. Rest well Uncle, rest well.

Bro. Hubert Nwokolo was an exemplary child of God, prominent and powerful, yet humble. He touched the lives of many, a dedicated soul-winner for Christ indeed. He was faithfully serving the Lord until he was called home to glory. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (Ps. 116:15). We pray for God’s strength, comfort and peace for his family and all who were acquainted with him.

Uncle, as fondly called in NIFES will be missed greatly. Your simplicity and generosity cannot be forgotten.

Uncle Hubert, what a great encouragement you were to me especially and to NIFES. It was and still hard for me to believe you have gone. My last phone conversation with you on 9th Dec 2020 is still fresh. It’s well.

The entire NIFES family members and I have taken solace in the fact and reality that you have gone to a better place- our Lord’s presence.

May the Lord strengthen and comfort mummy and the family in Jesus name. Amen.

A TRIBUTE TO HUBERT O. NWOKOLO
          (PA NWOKOLO)
From: Engr. Tamunoye & Grace Bob-Manuel & children.

It's with shock we received the news of the passing on of Pa Nwokolo, as we called him, back in those days in Warri & Port Harcourt, because of how he exhuded fatherly qualities. 

We count ourselves privileged that we knew & interacted with him, especially on the platform of the Souls Harvesters' Ministries, where he featured prominently in the areas of Marriage Life Seminars & Counseling that blessed our homes. Pa Nwokolo was, indeed, a quintessential gentleman that had Noble qualities of love, humility, being approachable & accommodating, etc. In giving, he didn't consider his own convenience.

Our brother, Pa Nwokolo, may the Good Lord, whom you served, reward you with Stars on your Crown & give your amiable wife, Uche & your lovely children the courage to bear your absence & carry on with the legacy you left behind.

Adieu, our beloved brother.

Uncle m, my darling uncle, uncle Okugo!
My ever smiling, gentle, humble, kind, amiable, loving and lovable uncle has gone.
Oke osisi erurugo daa, umu nnunu ejugo ofia.
On hearing the news of your sickness, we prayed and prayed and prayed; that God would heal you. But our God knows best. _His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways our ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts._[Is55:8-9]
Father, we take solace in Your word:
_Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints._ [Ps116:15]

_... Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them._ [Rev. 14:13]

Uncle m, I can still hear you teasing me, "miss anyi n'akpo m Uzzy". Oh, your memory lingers on.

A Tribute to Mazi Hubert Okugo Nwokolo — Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Amuvi Foundation North America (AFNA)

We mourn with heavy hearts the death of our legendary elder statesman and Chairman of our Board of Trustees - Late Mazi Hubert Okugo Nwokolo. 
Mazi Hubert Okugo Nwokolo’s legacy will remain evergreen in our hearts for the exemplary life he lived.
We thank you Mazi Hubert for your leadership. As our leader you modelled the behavior you expected from us and showed great emotional intelligence in all our meetings with you. We learned so much from you especially how respectfully you treated people around you regardless of their status in life.
Mazi you were instrumental in the formation of AFNA organization. You single handedly managed the initial projects to provide infrastructure for Amuvi Comprehensive Secondary School, so that it would get approval from the Abia State Ministry of Education. The Amuvi Secondary School will remain grateful for your record setting financial contributions and the material resources you provided to build the school.
Thank you Mazi for all your contributions to sustain our organization and the champion of all AFNA fund raising campaigns to support development efforts in our Amuvi village. You lead the AFNA fund raising campaign that provided financial support to rehabilitate the Amuvi Health Clinic. Thank you for your encouragements and your generous contributions to support the AFNA COVID-19 project to provide palliative care to the elderly and poor in our village. Your humility and kindness cannot be forgotten. We will forever remember your many achievements.
Thank God for the opportunity to see you at what is now your last AFNA Convention on September 5th, 2020. Though a virtual convention, we were able to fully interact with you to appreciate how kind and wonderful you are. Your presence and support were the main reason the meeting was deemed very successful and you convinced AFNA to lead the effort to build the proposed Amuvi Multipurpose Hall. The AFNA Convention September 5th, 2020 is dedicated to your memory. We pray the Almighty God will continue to guide and protect your family. Heaven is now your home. Rest in Peace.

Mazi Chris Okugo,
President Amuvi Foundation North America

Oga Hubert, the news of your passing came as a huge shock to us because we never heard that you were sick at any point. However, we have come to accept that this is the reality of life, according to William Shakespeare “ the world is a stage, and all men merely players”. We all testify that you played your part excellently. The lives you touched will remain a testament to the good role you played here on earth.
I remember, You were the head of a sub-section of Petroleum Engineering Department East when I joined Shell in 1980. I looked up to you as a role model who exemplified humility, diligence, honesty, and an uncompromising God fearing nature. You stood for fairness irrespective of the repercussions and fought for those who couldn’t fight for themselves. We will forever be grateful. We know that it has pleased the lord to call you home at such a time as this. You will be sorely missed.
Goodnight Sir.

My dear Uncle, I have struggled so much to write this tribute because there are no words to express the shock we felt at the news of your passing. Yet every passing day is a reminder of the reality that the Lord has called you home to rest in his bosom. You were an epitome of grace, kindness, humility, honesty, gentleness, wisdom and a true- Christlike nature. Heaven must be rejoicing over their gain of a rare gem. I still remember our last visit to your home and you and auntie Uche made us feel at home. We were treated to so many delicacies prepared by our ever loving and caring Auntie Uche. Your words of wisdom and counsel were like apples of gold in pictures of silver encouraging us with your own life experiences and your confidence in the Lord that can work all things together for good for his Children. Indeed your sacrificial love and kindness will be missed but we take solace in knowing that you fought the good fight and you have finished the race and kept the faith. We pray that our good Lord would wrap his arms around your precious family and grant them the comfort and fortitude to bear this great loss.
Adieu Uncle, sleep on and rest in his bosom.

I first met Hubert in 1965 when Shell invited brilliant students of Maths & Physics, from all over Nigeria to Port Harcourt, Nigeria for scholarship exams for study in the UK. Hubert & I were among the successful few. We met again in Warri in 1973 working with Shell. Hubert was a devoted Christian, honest & really focussed. May his soul rest in peace. Ola Sobande

He lived in Port Harcourt, Lagos, Warri (Nigeria), The Hague,Netherlands and Stavanger,Norway for work and retired in Washington DC before settling in Kingwood, TX to be near his grandchildren.

Hubert was heavily involved in his church Calgary Christian Fellowship, the African Christian Fellowship and Amuvi and Arochukwu leadership.

He was a marriage counselor, advocating for loving and healthy relationships, drove his grandkids to school and did the dishes every night.

He was an avid soccer fan, his favorite team was Manchester City.

Okugo, my darling husband, the cold hands of death snatched you from us.

Okugo, my darling husband, the cold hands of death snatched you from us. 

What do you want me to do now? 

My life without you leaves me with a deep hole that cannot be filled.

So many people admired the incredible love and kindness that you showed me for these forty five and half years. 


Your gentle, quiet spirit, and your desire to help and support all that came your way, endeared you to many. You were like a shelter to many people. You had 4 biological children, but you also had so many other people who considered you to be a father.

My Lord and my God, I cannot ask you why, but you have left a deep hole in my heart. 

Hubert, you have been my soulmate, my husband, my lover, my confidant, my helper, my sustainer, my adviser, my prayer partner, my teacher . 

I watched you struggling to live. If it were in your own power you would not have died. You left me without any final words. I never suspected that you would never come back to the house again. ‘A big tree has fallen and all the birds are scattered in the forest. 

I have searched for one good reason why you left us but I could not find one. You were snatched from us by the cold hand of death.The whole Christian community that know you prayed, fasted, and cried to God for you, but it did not happen like we wanted. 

What else can I say? We prayed that God would do a miracle and give you back to us as a birthday present , but instead He decided to celebrate your birthday with you.


What else can I say but to surrender to you God, but my heart is heavy. It’snot easy, but I will trust in your promises. God, you have given me your promise of guiding me through this new and unfamiliar path, to brighten the darkness and smooth out the road ahead. God, you promised never to leave me nor forsake me. I am holding onto you.


Okugo my love, sleep on and take your rest; lay down your head upon your saviors breast. We love you, but Jesus loves you best.

GOODNIGHT, GOODNIGHT , GOODNIGHT ! We will meet some day to part no more.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.

Uche your darling wife.

I could  remember after the death of my late husband, there was no hope l was chased out from a house which l and my children lives in uncompleted building. God used him Dad Hubert and his beautiful wife  to wiped away my tears by paying a new department for l and my children. Gave me some properties, still his love and caring extend by giving my son scholarship. peaceful thought and advice you do shared with me. Mummy will sent some beautiful clothes to give you when coming back to Nigeria for me. I Don't know that's the last seen. Death has really done bad to me, but in all we give thanks to God. Still now l can't believe is like a dream whenever l take a look of your pictures l shades tears RIP Lovely Dad For Ever in Our heart.
