Christy Essien Igbokwe, fondly called ‘lady of songs’, may
have died, but her legacy remains to make many remember her.
some
months ago, the late singer’s husband, Edwin Igbokwe took another woman
as wife, which some, including his children, were not happy about.
However,
the widower has explained the reason behind his action, which he
claimed was because his
late wife was constantly appearing to him in his
dream, encouraging him to move on with his life. He described late
Christy as a special and spectacular woman, who he said predicted her
death the way it would happen.
Mr Igbokwe pointed out that it
was Christy’s constant conversation with him in his dreams that made him
take another wife, which he said he had no plans of doing before
because of the love he had for the late singer.
“After the
burial, I was alone and lonely, I felt guilty for her death…I began to
see her in my dreams, encouraging me to live my life…Her appearances in
my dreams encouraged me to move on. If she didn’t appear to me in my
dreams, I wouldn’t have remarried.
“I remarried after three
years of her death. Time reversed everything. I didn’t want a situation
where I would be bringing different women to our home: After the dreams,
I began to consider marriage again. Being alone may not be the problem,
the problem is the temptations that loneliness and being alone ferment.
That would be very disrespectful to her memory and our children. I
remarried, with her blessings. I am no longer mourning but her memories
are indelible,” Mr Igbokwe said.
