My condolences to Dr. Sydney's family. I first met Dr. Onyeberechi as a student of Economics at Morgan State University, while taking a class in Humanities. He led my study of Chinua Achebe's classic novel Things Fall Apart and I remember his being a person whose stature resonated with me in the way he spoke and the particularity of his diction - every word felt pregnant with thought. I graduated almost 20 years ago and Dr. Onyeberechi's manner and wisdom has endured with me ever since I first heard him utter these fateful words, which he would often say in class and which I have remembered and shared with my family, friends and students in his honour and everlasting memory:   "In the final analysis, my friends, let Joy be the consequence" My beloved teacher, may your soul rest and rise in eternal power and may your memory live on in your work. I as a teacher myself will continue to honour your legacy in my own work. To the entire family of loved ones I offer my belated condolences in the eternal Now.

On behalf of the Egbuchulams of Azaraowalla Emekuku I express our condolences to the family of late Dr Sydney Onyeberechi on their dad.
It is our prayers that God protect, provide preserve and strengthen you and those left to mourn him as you prepare towards a befitting burial.
Signed Tony Egbuchulam.

Dr. Sydney Onyeberechi was a highly disciplined father and leader of our community who said the truth and gave great examples by the life he lived and the causes he supported. He will be missed greatly by our community and those he served.

May God Almighty console his family and all those who mourn his passing.
