TRIBUTE TO THE LATE LILIAN ANANDA NUTSUKPO BY A COLLEAGUE-Marcelinus Inkoom
Our first lecture as students of the Ghana Institute of Journalism had come to an end on the22nd of September 2008. At approximately 1:00 pm, someone just called me from behind. I turned to see who it was.’’Hey boy,why are you so quiet?I will like to be your friend’’. As quoted, this were the very first words the late Lilian Ananda Nutsukpo whose mortal remains lie before us today said to me .This is how I got to know the late Lilian. Who would have believed it would only be for a short time?
The piety that radiates from noble Lillian is a true reflection of her Christian upbringing. Honesty, generousity, amiability, cordiality and altruity characterized her personality. Her amiability and cordiality extended to everyone in our class she came into contact with. We parted ways after the first semester for vacation on 21st January 2009. Who would have believed that it was the last time we would see you? The class especially I, will never forget the contributions you made in class during lectures or group discussions that removed some doubts from our minds or gave us some clarification about things we didn’t understand. I spoke to Lilian on phone barely three days before she met her untimely death and said she will surely see me in school three days later. But that did not materialise. We are tempted to ask so many questions because we don’t understand why this had to happen. But as the saying goes,’’it is God who gives and it is God who takes’’. Hence God who knows what is good for his people has taken you away.
Lilian, the class misses you, but we believe you have been called for a better purpose above since you are needed more above than here on earth. The Ghana Institute of Journalism has lost a gem, the Ananda Nutsokpo family has lost a treasure full of talents and the level 100 class of the Ghana Institute of Journalism has lost a colleague and a dear friend. We are not saying goodbye, for we will surely meet again some time to come.
Farewell Lilian!!!!
Lilian Ananda Nutsukpo,rest in perfect peace!!!!!
