The ex husband of the former Minister spoke with journalists in Warri, Delta state yesterday, shortly after sending a powerful delegation to his royal majesty, Igwe D. O. Oduah, the Igwe of Akili Ozizor, Ogbaru in Anambra State, to express his sadness over the death of his son and how he was treated by the Senator.
In a 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 MeIn Warri For Burial,” the bereaved father said his estranged wife had not deemed it fit to inform him of the demise of their son and that he read the sad news on the pages of newspapers.
“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 Temisanre 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”, the bereaved father said in the letter.
He alleged that up till now, his enstranged wife had not contacted him on the death of their son only for her to commence preparation to bury him last Friday in her home town.
“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”, he lamented.
In 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, the bereaved father insisted that his late son must be returned for proper burial in his father’s place.
Chief Etoromi explained to the monarch that the stories needed not be told now, but his grief about his son's death was too much to bear, hence he is reacting this way.

They should take the boy's corpse to his father's house for burial.. That's how it's done..... Shuuuuuuuu power drunk everywhere
............ Liber maniac........
chaiiiii....
I think we need to know the root of the whole disagreement that will make the ex wife to taking such actions.
Wicked Women everywhere.
Aww sad may his soul Rip
this is sad, how can a woman just go ahead with burial of her late son with the dad knowing anything. I smell fish here. nawao. hope they settle this on time n let d man RIP.
Chaiya... This isn't fair at all. Pray they resolve it amicably.
She should give the body to his family for burial. Dats the tradition. Linda take note!
May he continue to RIP
hmm
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
God is in control
This woman must think her position as a senator and powers she has acquired over time can make her turn a high breed Delta man, a chief for that matter to a fool and a rag with her cat eye . It is unthinkable that a man's son died, you didn't deem it fit to inform him, carry him along as per burial plans and you are busy parading a long convoy in your village to bury a 28 years old guy who died in his prime. Chief Etoromi, accept my deepest condolence , CARRY GO WARRI NO DEY CARRY LAST. YOU FOR FALL MY HAND IF YOU HAD"NT TAKEN THIS ACTION. The boy is not a bastard. ITSEKIRI'S are very emotional about their children , that's why even if you marry their daughters and the unthinkable happens you must bring her back home to her family for proper Burial and to imagine that in this case a male child that the father is looking forward to standing as Oma Okparan to bury him when he dies now dies before him and his bullet proof thirsty mother wants to bury him in her village without the fathers consent. De father reject the pikin for you?
Why is this public? SMH! Y'all sort out your family issues privately!
So is he saying he wz nt evn aware his own son wz ill in de first place? If so den Stella didn't do well no mata wat he is de boi's fada
Ewoo,is not too late to cry when the head is already off.You will not be helping matters if you begin to make fun of the death of your son on the pages of newspaper.From all indications it didn't even appear you were close to your son when he was alive.Now you want to claim the body when he is dead.This matter is what you should pursue gently and don't try to bother yourself with the vanity of life.If you feel it will lead to a wild goose chase which I think it is going to be,forget it and get on with your life.The sole owner of all creation is God and to only him we are returning.All other things we are doing is temporary.My brother,a word is enough for the wise.Be consoled,thanks.May the soul of the departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Stella Oduah is just evil and full of shit. How can she do such? And why did no one in her village stop her? Her wealth is making her mad. Same reason her second marriage to Chris crashed too. Here is a fraudulent woman that should be in jail. She has been into illegal oil bunkering since the time of IBB. She duped Admiral Mike Aikhigbe of billions of stolen money she was supposed to keep in trust for him. Evil awaits her
Trust Itsekiri man! But that Stella is biting more than she can chew actually, the late boy has a father, even if you guys were divorced, the corpse should be interred in the father's compound. Though the father probably didn't take care of the boy while he was alive. BTW, how many names the boy get o, na wa.
What is the benefit of the dead body, they should just mourn and bury their dead, my young buz partner who just love his wife within 4months of marriage, his inlaws re asking him to transport her corpse or pay 100k and bury her in Lagos; dead body nah food? That is Edo for u oh! Becareful where u marry from
Hmmmmmmmm,there's much to this story biko

ReAlly.,,,how will a women bury her son without the concept of the Father.... What rubbish😮😮😮😮😮😮
"she didnt inform you that your son was sick". That means you didnt know that your son was sick? I hope you people have seen that some men are very stupid and foolish. If you were close to your son, you would have been at the top of this game and even know his health condition. You want to claim his corpse cos he's a guy. NdiAraEverywhere
Nigeria with nonsense culture. When the boy is alive...you didn't request for his upkeep. Now dead..you want to take your sperm back. Nonsense Nigerian men.
I wonder who is Stella's new husband?
Make them leave the dead body alone abeg.
Wicked men. Where was he when she was taking care of him and paying school fees? Stupid man!
Hope he was active in his sons life. Cos if Stella was the mother and father to that child after separation I don't see the reason why she should inform a man who didn't care for his son about his death.
This man is an idiot. Obviously, he abandoned his son all the while and now that he is late, he want him buried in his hometown. Maka why?
You lack sense. Was the father close to the son when he was alive? Stella single handedly trained him, now from no where the father is crying fowl. He lacks the prowess to be called a father. Rubbish!
Before I call the woman names I want to know if the father was in his life while he was alive?
Madam for peace to reign please call your ex husband and send the corpse to his father. FOR PEACE SAKE. R.I.P to the dead. This is so sad, no parent deserve's to loose a child. God please protect our children for us all IJN Amen!
Beware of that Turkish hospital in Abuja. I know someone who went there several times and spent thousands for a pain in his leg which they said was arthritis. Out of frustration, he travelled to England and was correctly diagnosed as GOUT. Imagine! Ordinary gout? One injection plus follow up drugs and this old man who used walking stick for months was walking on his own again. Beware!
No mata wat traspired between d both of dem culture wil always prevail.she shud ve atleast informed him of his sons death.we shud nt judge cos no one knos wat actualy happend but she shud do d rite tin.
We are Africans, tradition is a value we hold very seriously the dad have every right to be informed of the son demise and should play a major role in his burial as well.The ex wife have no choice than to comply.
Some women r wicked to d extent of poisoning their kids minds towards their fathers n wil do everytin to make sure he does nt get close to dem so dt she can tel dem their dads dnt care abt dem dt way d kids wnt want to ve anytin to do wit their dads.
Alu this is an abomination abominable act.It is the father that buries the son not. Mother wat kin of non sense is thiss.Her people betterr call her to order.If theman is dead it will b a different thing.look at this woman acting like she does not no culture.No wonder tilldate she has not remarried cos of her attitude
This is a lesson for us. Even if things dt work out with ur spouse and it leads to divorce, dt divorce ur children too . try create a cordial relationship with the kids. U can call , let them feel ur impact too. The chief Neva knew his son was sick at 28 years tht means he was not close to his son if he was, he wd hav been the first to know wats wrong with his son. Men learn to care for ur kids whether u re with der mother or not. Same with women.

Does it mean that he was not even communicating with the son while he was alive? If he was, then he should have known what wad wrong with him
Eva Da Diva...
Even in death she still does not want the man to see his son for the last time and properly bury him, nne stella whatever happened between u and ur former sweet heart should be forgiven and by right ur son should be laid to rest in his father's home, he married u one time and u had ur son for him so do the right thing even to honour ur son.
What kind of father is that who never knew about his son only to request for his dead body in death.Even in death,the boy will not be happy going back to his father.I think our traditionalists know this.So why are they splitting their hairs for a simple matter.For a man who rejected mother and son in his lifetime,what does he want the body for.This is making unnecessary trouble.I think the man only wants to make a show out of it.I think that those who are accusing Oduah of this and that are missing the point.Every one has his or her bad side.Our duty as Christians or Muslims is to condole the bereaved.It is immoral and amounts to ignorance if you mock,jeer or laugh at people for death of their beloved ones.Take note that those of us alive are in the midst of death.It is turn by turn and their is no basis for mockery.Even our lord Jesus Christ in his glory and power tasted death.Death is not even punishment.It is a transition.I advise Mr Etoromi to seek wise counsel.Those pushing him to push ahead to fight for the body and not praying for the peaceful repose of the soul of the late boy might be giving him more to worry about.A word is enough for the wise.
Chief, which means u no der communication wt ur son at all, how come he sick for a while n u dnt knw n u call urself a father, abi na ur ex-wife stop u from seeing him or ur present wife der shark uuu...... miss senator, forget abt ur wealth oo bcos it an earthly thing, if u die nw, none of wealth will follow u to grave, atleast u wud hv imform ur ex about d dead of ur son, abi ur new husband don claim ur son...bcos na so una der do.. if na my place no body will ask u,but after u buried him weda u like it or not u will exchume d corpe to d fathers home town, pls miss commissioner try n obey d tradition ok,

What if the woman standing between father and son does not any form of cordiality ? Has poisoned the child's mind not to want to have anything to do with the father? That's why I like the laws of countries like USA , except the man shows tendency of greatly endangering the child's life , he is granted visiting rights and made to play significant role and influence orb the child wether either of the party likes it or not. The she carried on with what was reported clearly shows she does not have one iota of regard for the man. We all read what transpired in her last marriage and how it crumbled in the Newspapers and online. Even Folorunsho Alakija , the wealthiest woman in Nigeria now is still humble and married to her husband . All marriages mustn't work but please learn to keep relationships. You don't relate with the man, you don't relate with any member of his family that a designated member of your family can be communicating with and updating each other with as per what to do next? She could as well have changed the boy's surname long ago so that there won't be a link with the father to convince us the father is an anonymous sperm donor and the boy is 100% hers.
With due respect to all those who have contributed to this matter,it is my opinion that Senator Oduah has a genuine reason for ther actions.While the father of the child is claiming that tradition requires she brings the body to him for burial,Igbo tradition allows anybody harassed or chased out of his or her paternal home,to take refuge in his maternal home.When the man chased out mother and son for perhaps mere domestic issue, it did not occur to him that as the saying goes,no condition is permanent.This is coming when the woman had spent fortunes in training the boy and making him grow like a real man.She didn't allow the boy to suffer.Even a look at the picture shows how close mother and child were.What does the man want to prove in this case.Only God knows.Even if the remains of the boy are sent back to the father for burial,the corpse will be literally crying because of the bitter circumstances of his separation from his father.
And for those who alleged she duped somebody.The man in question,Akhigbe is dead.This will ever remain a mere fiction because the late Akhigbe when he was alive did not mention that,not even to the media or court.But why bringing all these issues.They will certainly not bring the boy back to life.May his soul rest in peace.

If she had trained him well he wouldn't have engaged in hard drugs. That's what killed him.

Mr Etoromi or what.Why are you losing sleep and making fun with death of your son Chinedu.? For your information,the one it should pain most is the mother who has spent fortunes to train him qualitatively.Bringing the Itsekiri culture into the show now is not only belated but primitive and obsolete.Does the Itsekiri culture provide or allow that after rejecting mother and child and they take refuge somewhere,you wait for them to die to bring their bodies back for what?.....ritual?.Dont you know his mother has a home,a royal home for that matter.Is your culture more superior than hers.?
The Archbishop of Onitsha did very well to celebrate mass for the late boy because the boy did not die a pagan as some of you are.The bishop performed an essential duty of corporal work of mercy widely accepted in Christendom.So,the boy is already in heaven.
I have encountered some of the Akili Ozizor people who are ready to swallow anybody who tampers with the remains of the boy.One of them boasted they will feed any meddlesome interloper to the crocodiles.And of course,they have a lot of them in Akili as everywhere is waterlogged and crocodiles literally everywhere.
No sensible father will rear his precious head to fight this kind of battle.It will likely result to a big shame because it is like going back to eat your vomit.

This stella's ex-man is still Immature. Why write a letter and make it public. go and meet her with the new husband and collect ur son for burial. if they refuse u let them know the informed implication, and then exonerate your self. He should grow up. I am guessing this is why she left in the first place.
people should stop calling a grieving mother names . none of you knew what she passed through their separation or how she suffered to raise him cos if the ex husband was involved in their sons life he should've known that he was sick .imagine he's sitting in warri waiting for his sons corpse to be brought to him . this man is a joker forgetting that Stella is from A royal family AND Ogbaru people are not to joke with ...

If he had played his role as a father and had a relationship with his son, he would have known his son was sick even before he died. The fact that you provided the sperm doesn't make you his father. Did you provide, care, guide and nurture him after you threw them out? You obviously did what men from your area are well known for and now that he is dead, you want her to bring him to you. You didn't say anything about sponsoring the burial o, she should come to your place so your people will tell her list of items to provide before he can be buried abi? Na chop una wan chop else I don't understand what this publicity is about. Better respect yourself.
I don't agree with u on the opinion of not telling him,she owes him dt right! This is life we talking about,no child wants to be called bastard,support or no support.if Stella could do dt dt means she didn't respect d son in death.
Most of the people commenting are surely her anonymous people. It's obvious this woman must have frustrated this man from having any relationship and contact with the kids. some women do such, they will want to use the kids against their father by starving him of any contact or relationship with them . But she could have completely changed the boys surname to Oduah since she is from a royal family and has a high pedigree so that they won't be linked to the Etoromi family. Animosity carried too far!!!! Very unforgiving. The man says the pain and grief he is going through will not make him say anything for now. Does your beeing a made woman transform you to God? You now have the power of life and death that you can shove a child's father aside and take decision to bury him alone? I'm sure there must still be one sane person around her to talk sense into her, LET HER NOT PLAY GOD AND PUSH LUCK TOO FAR. The boy is not a bastard, his father did not reject him and loves him dearly even in death from what I've read. Let him sleep in his fathers house.
The boy's father is only following tradition. No matter how big or rich the woman is, she must respect tradition. The tradition in South-South is that a child must be brought back home to his or her father's people in death and must be buried in his or her father's home town or village whether male or female. It is forbidden especially in Edo state to bury a child outside his father's hometown
Did u know if he ask for the boy when he was alive. Don't say things u don't know. If he wants the body doesn't it mean he wants to sponsor the burial. Chai!! If he didn't ask for the boy when he was alive do u think he'd ask for the body now...why don't u think bfr commenting
