The burial was grand. It attracted many Very Important Personalities, VIPs across the country. Ichi town had never seen such a gathering in recent history.

Chief Joseph Momah (Ajose) was the cynosure of all eyes as he dazzled all with his galaxy of friends and associates. He contributed in no small measure in making the burial grand.

Notedly, on January 4th, 2022, a Lagos-based business mogul and industrialist, Chief Joseph Momah brought to the fore, the essence and beauty of in-lawship in Igbo culture when he led a powerful delegation of family, friends and business associates to pay a condolence visit( Akwa -Ogo)  to his in-laws, the Obimdikes of Umuezeabu village, Ichi in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra state over the death of the family's matriarch, late Sir Julius Ndukaife Obimdike.
