Dera Prof TB Ekanem, I've always known you as a teacher of my teachers. I've always admired your courage and determination. Our meet at South African High Commission, Abuja cemented my high regards in highest esteem. I saw a fighter to reckon with. You raised your voice against the mischief of a Secretary who felt larger than life. You wouldn't take any nonsense. Lo and behold, the Visas surfaced. Even though yours had come, you didn't leave me to my fate at the feeling of the slightest suspicion that I seemed to have been targeted. Your further disturbance moved mine further. You left for Lagos after series of rescheduling your flight. And you missed the Johannesburg bound SA flight. You kept contact until I joined you at MMA. You were a mother which you remained to us. You treated us like a sweet mother that you remained. While we were rescheduling our flights, you disclosed your intention to stop over and see Prof Amadi Ihunwo at Wits University. And that changed my itinerary too. That singular offer brought me one on one with Prof Amadi Ihunwo who has remained a great influence to me. That singular offer of opportunity brought me from solitude to fellowship in Neuroscience career. You drew me closer and I started attending NSN meetings. You liked me including my weaknesses. You were a mother. When the need to review the Anatomy Act in line with current global realities came, you participated in that marathon meeting at Abuja and not yielding to the stress encountered, you remained in the meeting that lasted from dusk to dawn in the determination to clear the grey areas in the proposal. You and Dr Udoaka (RIP) persevered until a complete document was obtained. You were a mother When the responsibility to chair the LOC of the Annual meeting of the Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomists of Nigeria (SECAN), a task I had about 5weeks to accomplish, you accepted to be the Guest Lecturer at a very short notice, shelving other assignments including NUC accreditation visit. At the conference, you left an indelible mark on the minds of our growing Anatomists. You were elated to anchor our special mentorship package - the first of it's kind, Women in Anatomy You were a mother. It pains to remind you posthumously these and many other landmarks you have left in the careers of great Anatomists of our clime and time, young and old because I had made up my mind to remind you this and more at your installation as a Fellow of SECAN at ABU, Zaria which covid-19 lockdown truncated. Your departure came as a rude shock to all. It was the not in the mind of any of us. It came when we needed you most. However, we strongly believe that God who let it be will not abandon us. And by His grace, our collective dreams will be achieved. Adieu, great pace setter Adieu, great path finder Adieu, great bridge builder. We cannot miss you enough Rest in Paradise until we meet again to part no more.

Late Prof Theresa was a courageous woman, very active, fearless and adventurous. We were always seeing at either national or international meetings. Our last meeting was in LONDON during IFAA 2019, and our last conversation was few months back when we both promised to meet the NUC Executive secretary about the reviewed Bsc Anatomy curriculum in Abuja this year, but she’ s gone! RIP Prof!

May your gentle soul continue to rest in the bossom of God. Professor Theresa Ekanem was more than a mother & mentor to me. I remembered quickly when she came to my school as my external examiner during my PhD thesis defense some years back. I want to say at this junction that you have come, seen and conquered by your inspirations and achievement. May God grant your immediate family, ASN, NSN, SONA, IBRO members fortitude to bear the irreparable loss

Professor Theresa Ekanem was more than a mentor, she was a mother. She was an inspiration to many people. She encouraged , compelled and assisted so many of us to give our best and never relent. Her constant phrase was 'the young shall grow'. As a teacher and mentor she was exceptional. As a person she was remarkable. Every interaction with her left you feeling good and motivated. She will be sorely missed.

Professor Theressa Ekanem was an erudite scholar, a thorough person and a woman of integrity. She was my external assessor during one of my professorial interviews. Besides, until her demise she was the President of ASN where I serve as Editor-in-Chief. She demonstrated enviable leadership qualities. She has contributed her quotas and left an indelible mark on the soil of her time. She will be greatly missed. Adieu Prof!

I met Prof. Ekanem for the first time in Paris France, during the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN) conference, 2017. She gave me her time and was more concern about how I will grow in my career as a young investigator. From then, she became a mentor to me. The news of her dead is still a shock to me till now. We planned to meet again in Port Harcourt this year for the neuroscience conference but death came and snatched you away. May God grant your family and the entire Anatomy community the fortitude to bear the loss. May your gentle soul rest in peace Ma.

It still seems so unreal that you are gone from this earthly realm. Having to delete your name from some documents like course coordinator portal brought fresh tears to my eyes. I'm crying even as I type this. Thank you for all that you did for me and other scientists/researchers. Farewell Prof. You will always be remembered because your legacy lives on. We love you.

I met Prof. T. B. Ekanem in 2007 as my external assessor at the MSc level. Like her usual self, she gave me confidence and assurance throughout the exam like a mother. Remarkably, while the one that should back me was waging war against me during the exam, she leaned towards me and asked if I had any problem with him previously, and kept waving her hand at me under the table to calm down, "you did a very good job, there's nothing to fear, don't mind him", she is greatly missed already, a mentor, teacher and mother to it's truest meaning. May the good Lord keep, uphold and protect the family she left behind. It is well.
