SLEEP ON ETE RALPH AND REST IN PEACE
My mind was filled with all manner of questions the moment I read on Wednesday 14th October the message from my cousin that you went out on Monday 12th October and hadn’t returned home. After days of anguish and bewilderment, alas my cousin EteRalph is no more and gone without saying good bye.
My cousin Engineer Ralphael Agban Asong joined the P. O. E. Bassey family in Port Harcourt after completing his primary school education. Together with his late elder brother, Ete Albert Okon Etim, they attended Santa Maria High School, Omoku until 1967, when the Nigerian civil war broke out leading to the closure of all secondary schools in the then Eastern Nigeria. They were boarders at Omoku.
We resumed our primary and secondary education in Calabar and we all resided at our home on Marian Road. He attended St. Patrick’s College at Ikot Ansa. EteRalph was a hard working science student and performed brilliantly in the West African School Certificate Exam. I loved and enjoyed ironing his starched school uniforms, according to his instructions and ironing style.
EteRalph, your place here is made void and no tears can bring you back. However, being with the Lord is better. So my dear cousin, sleep on and Rest In Peace.
