RIP Mrs. Alaere Alaibe

For those who don’t know her, she was the wife of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Chairman, Timi Alaibe and the boss of top Cosmetics Store.Pretty Woman, on Toyin Street Ikeja. She was also the founder of award winning NGO, Family Re-orientation Education and Empowerment (FREE), an NGO designed to help the women of the Niger Delta region resolve the development dilemma confronting them and also help them become literate and empowered. FREE won the UNESCO Confucious Prize for literacy in 2007.

The 45year old mother of five died on Saturday, January 31, 2009 in a UK hospital. Her death, according to the doctors who attempted to save her life, was caused by Renal Cell Carcinoma, a kind of cancer that is not unusual but very dangerous.

We need to address this cancer issue on this blog. A lot of people are dying from different kinds of cancer. We will address it, but not on this post.

This is strictly for Alaere, a woman who has left her footprints on the sands of time. A woman who touched and changed lives through her NGO. It’s really true, bad things do happen to good people.

May her soul rest in perfect peace and May God guide and protect those she left behind, especially her young children…amen.
