Ex-husband of Senator Stella Oduah, Lt. Col. Satchie Emmanuel Etoromi (Rtd.), has urged the ex-aviation minister to return his late son to him now in Warri, Delta State for burial.
Chief Etoromi speaking to newsmen in Warri shortly after sending a powerful delegation to the Igwe of Akili Ozizor, Ogbaru in Anambra State, royal majesty, Igwe D. O. Oduah, expressed sadness over the death of his son and how he was treated by the senator.
In his letter to the royal father titled, “Appeal To Intercede To Ensure Senator Stella Adaeze Oduah Brings My Son, Maxwell Chinedu Obiechina Wereyesigha Toritseju Etoromi To Me In Warri For Burial,” the Etoromi said he read about the death of his 28 years old son in the newspapers without being informed by his ex-wife.
The letter reads, “His Royal Highness Igwe Oduah 1, betrothed Stella Oduah to me on 18th November 1984 in Akili Ozizor. We married on the 16th of December 1984 in His Highness`s Palace in Akili Ozizor. After the payment of dowry and exchange of gifts, we were taken to Nde-Mili where we performed the final rites.
“I am surprised to see in the internet stories that my son MAXWELL OMABUWA TEMISAREN OBIECHINA WEREYESIGHA TORITSEJU CHINEDU ETOROMI who Stella delivered for us on 14th March 1988 at 05.00 hour in St Mary`s Hospital Ugboroke Warri is dead.
“Up till now Stella has not told me my son died in her custody. There is rumour that my son will be buried in Akili Ozizor.
THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL. My son must be brought to me in Warri for internment.
The letter which was copied to Most Reverend Valerian Okeke, The Arch-Bishop of Onitsha, and the Parish Priest, Father, Donald Uzoh of Sacred Heart Parish, added that “Stella should also bring back EYITUOYO FELIX KENNETH ORITSETIMEYIN IKECHUKWU ETOROMI who was delivered on 1st August 1989 at 0 5.30 hour in St Mary`s Hospital Ugboroke Warri whom she took away from our home over twenty years ago.”
Chief Etoromi explained to the monarch that the stories needed not be told now, but his grief at Omabuwa`s transition was too much to bear, hence he is is reacting this way.
It would be recalled that Akili Ozizor,the quiet country home of Nigeria’s former Aviation minister and presently the Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial Zone,Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah, on Monday witnessed an unusual heavy vehicular and human movement when sympathisers,friends and dignitaries from across Anambra state rallied for vigil mass for the peaceful repose of the soul of late master Maxwell Chinedu, son of Senator Oduah who died last Friday at the age of 28.

I feel so sad for this man. It's well
ReplyDeleteDon't be. Some fathers have this nonchalant attitude to their kids, if they are in the custody of their mom. We don't know if the man has ever played a fatherly role to the poor boy or supported him. If he has not, for Stella to inform him should just be out of courtesy, but telling her to bring the body home, if he had not been in the boy's life to me is unfair to Stella and the oduah family.
DeleteThis man is a very very stupid man. Where was he when the kids were growing up? Look at how he started with their birth and then quickly jumped to twenty something years later (Anumanu). Tell us how you abandoned the woman and the children, efuluefu man, go and bury your dunkard face in shame for not being a fatherly figure to your children.
DeleteThe boys are grown and if you were a serious minded person, you would have even had a personal relationship with them. Even if your quarell with Stella made her not to tell you, why didn't your other child who is a grown man of 27years also call you.
Do you even have his phone number,do you know if he has attained puberty, do you know if he has gone to school? Who pays his school fees and fed him?
You are a very stupid man. You left a woman alone with boys, you were not there when he needed you and all of a sudden you want his corpse. Oya come and carry corpse, sprinke Maggi and start eating.
Burial is of no use to a dead man, it is just how people that failed in their duties like to compensate themselves for their failures.
You and your ex wife failed those kids. Especially you. Boys need their fathers as girls need their mothers. Sometimes, a woman might not be able to control boys esp when they get to the age of following bad boys.
Shameless man, you think being a father is all about donating sperm and having kids in Warri. If your son had died in a plane explosion, will you be looking for corpse to bury?
DeleteBecause you have calculated all the money that will come from condolence from senators and other politicians so you can use and boy Ogogoro that will last you till you die.
How much did you contribute to those children's upkeep? He is not a child, when was the last time you spoke to him? When kids grow, they trace their father/mother so if you made any effort, you would have been close to them. Now you are looking for cheap popularity. I am a father, I am a father, by penis and mouth. The kid will be burried where they knew as home, you can't just land like a vulture and move him to a destination he never knew as home when he was alive, hididng under the guise of tradition to commit impunity.
God forbid any human being that will move my body to a place like yours just because I am dead, I will rake havoc and kill every single soul in that family.
Why are we humans like this? Do what you are meant to do for people when they are alive, do it, so that in death you will just grief and have peace. The question we will ask ourselves is, if the young boy was alive, would he have accepted to be buried in that place? Don't come and hide under tradition, well shebi his brother is alive. Instead of you to go and bond with him,you are waiting for Stella to come and return a 27 year old to your village in warri.
He will just come and sit down in warri? Kiiiikikikikikiiiiii, my dear failed father, the boy is not even sitting in his mother's house, he is a man now, you have lost that opportunity. All you can do is ask him to visit you once in a while.
BTW,why didn't ask why Stella didn't ask you to pay for the hospital bill. How come you are not asking for them to allow you to come to Abuja and pay up the bills and arrange for his burial.
You want to sit in your house and they will carry him and come and feed you in ya mouth.
Stella, ask him to come to Turkish hospital and claim the corpse, let him settle the hospital, mortuary and ambulance fee of 300million. He will just run like Bolt.
Where was he all this while, well, maybe he hs bn playing his roles underground, na d death of the youngman de bring all these news now, it is well. RIP to the dead
DeleteThat means he doesn't ask about his children...u read about ur son's death on newspaper
DeleteAnon abandon who? Biko say what u know. Stella gree stay one place? Do u even know her story? Them real say who nor go nor know.
Delete@anon9.08, regardless of whatever ... It's normal and customary for the child to be buried in the fathers hometown. Haba! Never defend anything that is wrong because the woman is doing it wrongly. Unless she has something to hide and we don't know the full details.
DeleteWait, where was he all these while the kids were growing up? Where was he when she trained them and gave them d best in life? Where was he when the child was sick? If he heard from the media, that means he haven't spoken with the boy for a while now or been in contact so where has he bin or warri na Mars? LoL. It takes a sperm donor to birth a child anyone can do dat, doesn't make you a father. Shouldering the responsibility of raising them does. Bring back indeed.
DeleteThis is serious since the father is still alive she should have told him in person abou what happened to their son and not the man reading it from dailies.
ReplyDeleteHasn't he been reading about their studies and graduation from the newspaper? Hasn't he? So why will this one be different? It is very obvious he never wanted to have anything to do with those kids, if not the other brother would have called him.
DeleteBoys don't easily side one parent than girls,so it's Obvious the man was disconnected with his children.
He wasn't a father to them. Just a sperm donour.
Why this public display? It’s obvious this man disconnected himself from his children! He's tying to use the dead to score cheap points! Please allow Stella to mourn her loss in peace... madam oduah may God himself comfort you...
DeleteYou pipul should take things easy abeg make the guy no vex for wia him dey.
ReplyDeleteBiko! Stella, return the son, you took k of him while e was alive, now e he's dead.. It is the father's turn to also take k of him through the proper burial rites.
In essence,the man is only good to collect condolence.
DeleteLet them bury the boy where his body will feel at home.
The father should come as a visitor that he has always been and have a back seat at that.
And which one is proper burial rites. So if he's buried in Anambra there won't be "proper burial rites". Fathers who suddenly remember tradition when they want things to favor them. I'm wondering why they don't remember tradition when it's time to bond and take care of their kids; Or does tradition forbid that too? If you could learn from the internet about the death of your son,then you should have gotten her home address same way and visit your son with many names when he was alive. Afterall it was no secret she lived in VGC.
DeleteReally???? Where you in d picture when he was being raised??? Because for stella not to tell you means you were an insignificant father or best a sperm donor.
ReplyDeleteAbeg the boy is resting, make una allow him rest!!
The man Is an idiot. Useless sperm donor. I'm sure he easnt there for the boy while he was growing up and now he wants his dead body for what exactly? He probably abandoned the poor boy and his mom when their relationship went south now he wants dead body. When the boy was alive he was not there. If he was he won't find out about his death through the media. I hate men like this. Kudos to the responsible men out there who care for their kids and not abandon them with their mom's and then come out later to cry wolf
DeleteThat's what you get when you maltreat a woman she will hit you where it hurts . It's now ur calling all his names like sermon. Story for the gods. Wherever he's buried won't bring him back. It has no meaning for the dead . Nigerians are too sentimental when it comes to burial. So annoying.
ReplyDeleteMaltreat Stella? A perfidious and loose woman from Day 1? Do ur research before writing things like this.
DeleteAnnon 09:06,clap for yourself...
Deletebeing loosed and a dead child..how does that relate?!!
The father should let the matter rest, assuming he's fighting for the care and responsibility of the child while he was still alive, it would have been a different case!!
Anon thank u. Its obvious these people dont know this woman. Always quick 2 blame d men. Mtweeeeeeeeew. Naim good 4 Etoromi.
DeleteStella might not be a saint but I see a woman who knows the import of being with her kids no matter what! Do you know the emotional baggage attached to raising kids alone not to talk of entering into a new marriage with two kids in tow? If she was all that you say she is, she would have dumped them first chance she gets so she can be free to do her thing.
DeleteThis man had 20 solid years to bond with his kids and if he really wanted to, no woman, no matter how highly placed could have stopped it! And what is the yarn about asking Stella to bring back the other son? How do you drag a grown man to his father's compound? What happened to him trying to reach out to the child? We are not talking of toddlers here o where it's possible to keep away from the other parent o!
I honestly don't know why some people hide behind religion and tradition to inflict pain on others. Traditions were made to serve man not man becoming a slave to tradition. You say your hurt cos of the loss? Let me break it for you...you were absent in that boys life and his death hurts like hell, take your hurt times it a zillion times, that's the hurt and hell this mother is going through right now!
Madam oduah might be a lot of things, but she deserves the right..... no scratch that! for being in the life of that boy, she's earned the right to mourn him and bury him where she pleases! May the good lord heal your heart madam.....
@ Unyime, well said.
DeleteThis life sha,
ReplyDeleteAll the ppl that died cus of her thieving, money meant 4 the masses... She cornered to herself, she shld feel their loss
You people should stop talking rubbish on this blog!
DeleteStella oduah's way no pure at all...
The second husband,she no kukuma live with am again
She's just doing this coz She's got rich and influential royal family
Stella biko bury your son in warri!!!!
u'll be surprised to find out the no-good junkie of a son was a sacrifice,if u don't believe me ask buruji kashamu
DeleteThis could get really ugly.
ReplyDeleteThey should resolve it amicably as a family and not in the media.
there'really traditional rites to be performed that will allow d boy avenge his own death if his death was orchestrated by another,wetin stella dey fear?
DeleteEven in the Bible,the Almighty God did not support empowering women.He said we should learn from men.I'm a woman but i don't support a woman having unfettered powers see what Stella is doing she doesn't care about the future repercussions.Let her continue
ReplyDeleteYou are a bastard, a curse to your family and women folk. It's ur type that should suffer in the hands of a man. Useless thing please if you are against female empowerment don't send ur female kids to school. You have no idea what happened btw Stella and the man.but you come here to show us that you are an imbecile and dog that deserves to die in a man's house.
DeleteWhat? that they should not empower women. .are you for real?
Delete1st of all you don't even know what transpired in the marriage that she left with her kids. Now the ex husband is coming out after the son is dead. Why didn't he send this communique whilst the boy was alive and gowing, Now he is copying every body.
You are not a woman, you just wish you were because if you were, you'll know what real women go through daily before you allowed your brain construct this kinda stuff with your hand. You even used the Bible sef...not your fault...even the devil climbs the pulpit.
DeleteHappy New month sdk and peeps. May this month bring peace and prosperity for us all in Jesus name.AMEN!
Ogo be very careful. God did not support empowering women? Rememeber Deborah, Mary Magdalene (the first human to see Jesus alive), what of the rich and influential Lydia (the rich merchant whose death caused sorrow that she had to be brought back to life?).
DeleteI do not support Stella or her ex cos I do not know what transpired between them in and out of their marriage...
I know your type,you low self esteemed worthless peice of shiit
DeletePs..it isn't an insult just stating the obvious
Elena please sound it! Very worthless piece of shit who isn't worthy of the vagina between her legs. Why do you even exist? Sorry sack of shit, ass wipe oshi....
Delete@ ogo, that you start your own name in small cap tells a lot about what you think about yourself; small, insignificant, inconsequential, nothing
DeleteYou shouldn't be allowed to raise kids with this mindset.
SHARONNA
God did not support empowering women in which Bible? Better beg God for forgiveness for that piece of blasphemy you just typed and re-read your Bible.
DeleteAnd to think this person is answering my name God forbid!!!how can u write such u are a huge disgrace to women shior!!!
DeleteMan never show you pepper. My husband of many years showed me his true colour and now at 40 I want to start like all over from scratch. Men are not loyal neither are they reliable, no man is worth sacrificing anything for, you will surely regret it.
DeleteI hope you marry a man that will enslave you and use you as his personal mumu then you will know. People like you men will be beating you up anyhow
DeleteMadam ogo, you have very low sense of self...that's a sad and dangerous place to be considering the world we are living in..
DeleteAre you sound at all.
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteOga why did she take them away from you?
Why did you let her?
Why didnt you fight for your sons custody for over 20years?
Could it be that you were relieved?
It means he lived all his life with his mum, she was a single mother to them, where were you sir?
For her not to inform you your son was dead says alot about the relationship btw you 2
Did you even support her in her struggles as a single mum?
Y is it in death you want to claim the young man?
As painful as it may, i hope the oblige you so you satisfy your conscience.
And if you are innocent in all these, my apologies.
I hope the young man is laid to rest in his fathers land.
Sir this is your chance to claim the other living child of your, make the effort now to be part of his life while he is still alive.
You cant tell me you were oppressed, you were a soldier and always ll you be.
Goodluck
You seem to be a special kind of stupid
Delete@rob, your own stupidity is mind boggling!
Delete@ candid Naija....well said joor!
Ah ah!!! Rob!!wetin she talk na?
DeleteGet off my butt rob!!
DeleteThe name rob suits you. Apparently, you've been robbed off common sense and the logical power of reasoning.
DeleteIf he was a good father he should know his son was in the hospital even before he died
DeleteHim not knowing means he's hot know contact with them in a long while
Honestly I think this man is just seeking unnecessary attention and sympathy
They sha should leave this woman mourn her son in peace
Absentia daddy
Your right
DeletePoor boy!
ReplyDeleteMay his soul rest in peace.
Nawa for the man, e get as this story be o o. Make them two settle their gbese biko, there are certain matters that shouldn't be brought to the notice of the public. This man should act like an elder biko.
ReplyDeleteNawa oo! Rest in peace Chinedu.
ReplyDeleteBecause this matter is between husband and wife%we can never really tell whhat led to their seperation.. Whatevee the case may be the child should be buried in peace... This is so sad.. Burying a child.. God forbid it biko... Sickening!
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's hard to judge. But the man should have done this privately. Couldn't he have sent people to deliver this letter to her home? He just disgraced their entire family and put them up for public scrutiny. Losing a child is painful.. but he should have considered certain things before making this mess abeg.
DeleteBig man, big trouble. Money doesn't buy everything. When you see people very happy and flamboyant outside, they may be the most unhappy at home in their closet. Bitter and frustrated at home happy and flamboyant outside. The poor child suffering the consequences of what he did not create
ReplyDeleteIf this is what Stella truly did, not informing the biological father of their death of his son and planning his burial, she and her family has shown that the rich and powerful are, most times the most wicked. Anyway why would one be surprised when the woman, supposedly a christian was married by swearing to a water goddess. Chriheaden
Rip to the innocent boy who had to go where money and the things of the flesh were more readily available.
Don't envy anyone regardless of how difficult things are with you because you don't know what they have to cope with in private.
What a sad story! Most people know in Nigeria that some women use to take their children away from their husbands; especially when the woman is from a notable/influential family.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, the boy should be returned back to his father for proper burial. Stella Oduah is not a saint. She has destroyed the lives of so many Nigerians through her thievery and corrupt manners.
I only pitied the young man that died.
On point

ReplyDeleteAbsentee father.
ReplyDeleteNo be small
DeleteOga what did you do to Stella. Ok. warri men no dey stay with one wife i get it now.
ReplyDeleteWhere were you when Stella was training the boy. It is now you remember you had a son. I pray both of you settle this matter Amen.
God please protect marraiages. protect husbands and wives. The devil is really wicked to marriages.
Warri men nor dey stay with one wife? Really? How many husbands u know say this Stella marry? 1? 2? Keep dreaming.
DeleteNo be Isoko or Urhobo men? Abeg ignore him. That's how they leave their responsibilties for their wives and when he is grown, they will na come and claim. Even the ones that are still together with their wives. Don't take care of their responsibilties. It's so painful he died.RIP to him
ReplyDeleteI think its itsekiri
Delete1stly my papa na Urhobo n he trained us even after retirement. Secondly no na itsekiri man. So stop sprewing trash.
DeleteThis kind of story is better handled by mature people in the family
ReplyDelete@stella Biko bury ur son wherever you like . Why is he crying foul now . Why didn't he cry foul when the man was alive ??!! Shameless ,heartless,stupid men everywhere. If you like write to buhari, Obama na ur ink u dey waste . Bastard man . If you like bring army to Stella you kukuma know say she pass you . Idiot.
ReplyDeleteIt is well.
ReplyDeleteam sure this man did not perform his duties as a father that is why, but Stella you need to tell him about his son.
ReplyDeleteThis man is a very stupid fool. Where has he been all these years? Drunkard absentee father
ReplyDeleteLols, James is supporting a woman.
DeleteIs the world coming to an end?
Amen
ReplyDelete@anon 9.11 I agree with all but ur last paragraph. Stella didn't fail those kids . Their father did !!! For a mother to turn her heart against the father of her kids just know she's reached her limit !! We women have unconditional love for our kids,most times we put our diff aside for the sake of our kids still it won't be enough for some men they'll hurt you thru ur kids !!!point of correction girls need their dads boys need their mums !! If you start to hold ur kids firmly as a single or married parent u won't struggle with their behavior when they become teenagers. Start training them early !! Shout out to all sep dads and single out there who do right by their kids . Jah bless.
ReplyDeleteIs it the father that teaches the girls about menstruation? Abeg, the boys need their father to hold them down when they don grow pass their mama.
DeletePoor man...
ReplyDeleteWhatever led to there separation d father should hv been in the lives of his children.it doesn't matter who has custody of d child,i hope they dnt go to court over where d son is buried.does it matter where they Bury him?Anambra or Delta it's still in d soil
ReplyDeleteI am highly pained. I married an army officer. Most of them are so useless and worthless fathers. They keep jumping from one city to another with the excuses of official posting only to have the opportunity of sleeping with anything on skirt and run away from their legal responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteThe woman will be the father and mother figure the child sees. hmmmmmm. I am not saying that all of them are bad o. But most married army officers wives are smiling and suffering. If you are privileged to attend their court marshals, my dear, you will be surprise to hear what goes on there. Officer raped a girl of 4. Officer A took over officer B's wife. Officer A infected a soldier’s child with aids.
Their salaries are reasonable/allowances yet most of them hardly send feeding allowance to their immediate families. It’s from officer’s mess to mami. I agree that their salaries will be paid direct to you as the wife if you report them officially but what you will face at home after that is hell.
Its only when they die you will know how many wives and children they have.
I had to run for my dearest life. It’s better to be single than to be married and live worst than a single woman. I no fit shout. I no fit dey husband house and open leg for another man due to loneliness or frustration. God forbid
Stella Odua. I honestly understand what you went through. I feel your pain at this moment. God will give you the heart to bear my dear.
As per the Rtd Lt. Col. if you like report to the moon. This your letter has shown the kind of useless father you are. You only read the death of your child on internet. Keep reading the internet. You will soon hear the wedding of your second son or his appointment in government.
I don't pity people like you. You are only looking for a way of attracting dignitaries to your place. Maybe they will given you brown envelop to support your other wives/children and side chics. Keep waiting. Your letter is kept in view.
My sister, I have said this before oh. Most Uniformed men are very promiscuous. I don't know why. They must leave a mark at every point of duty. You'll now see a grown child saying he or she is looking for their father that impregnated their mother when he was serving in their state bla bla bla. It's a serious matter.
DeleteThere is something wrong with this Man, you neglect the living and want to claim the dead? *shakemyhead*
ReplyDeleteYou cant eat your cake and have it Lt. Col...
ReplyDeleteYou were obviously an absentee father.
This Ogo you dont have head at all. look at what you spew there. I shame for you for saying that.
ReplyDeleteHow was Queen Esther able to conquer her world. Ogo seems your suffering is affecting your thinking faculty
Very silly human being.
ReplyDeleteI am disgusted by blog visitors supporting him.
If he was present in the life of the son, would he have read it in the newspaper? He is more interested in where the child will be buried. Empty headed drunk.
After she must have suffered to train him and unfortunately he died, you cannot even console the family who trained him, you could not even pay a visit to offer your condolences even though it is not needed. You want to start a drama on where he will be buried or not.
Smh. Absentee deadbeat father.
KING XOXO MYSTERY
Useless and foolish absentee father , Mr whatever your name is u are merely a sperm donor not a father if you play any fatherly role ur 2nd son wouldav reach out to you but you disown them when they are alive now u are claiming dead body pls allow the boy to rest in peace. Stop disturbing Stella she is grieved already, she has the right to bury her child where Eva she wish cos she singlehandely raise that Boy
ReplyDeleteAbsentee papa
ReplyDeleteAbove all he paid bride price b4 the boy was born and up till his death he still answers the man's name, to me traditionally according to Igbo culture his father's obi is the rightful place for his burial and interment. I heard the princess has been married to 3 different men and couldn't leave with any of them.
ReplyDeleteYou guys just spew thrash. What it the man who has been leaking every detail we have been reading online since the boy died? I agree the could have his own bad side but what about if he has tried his best to be part of his kids life oga madam at the top does not want to have anything to do with him or have him come around under the disguise that he wants to see his kids. Don't forget our bullet proof car thirsty senator has been a made woman for a long time and feels she doesn't need him for her kids for any reason and do could frustrate his access to them. I know men are bad but some women are equally bad. We read in the papers and online what transpired in her last marriage. No matter what the boy is not a bastard and The man married her properly before things went the way it went, the boy has to be taken back to his fathers compound or wherever he wants him to be buried. Don't forget this boy is a first that he was looking forward to standing to bury him when God calls him but the otherwise is the case now. The man also states that the pain of loosing his son is too much for him and wouldn't want to start talking for now but all he wants is to give him a deserving respect by burying him in his fathers house. If he has been so nonchalant to him in life then he can we'll be even now that the boy is gone and not care wherever stella decides to bury him. From what I read and the interpretation the man loves his son no matter what , learning about his death in this manner is more painful. You guys don't even know efforts he has been making as a father to bond and have contact with his children. Know full story and details before casting aspersions .
ReplyDeleteNo royal family takes childern born outside the royalhood.The Igwe should act wisely,the action might affect the royalfamily in future.Secondly,this is what one gets when he or she wants to be powerful in the society without a second thought.It might sound funny, one notable achievements of past adminstration family separation.
