The Russia Corporate World extends condolences to its editor-in-chief on mother’s death


Source: TRCW official press statement

Moscow, Russia — The owners, management and the entire editorial team and other staff of The Russia Corporate World today expressed their most sincere and deepest condolences to their editor-in-chief, Dr Christopher Kenneth N. Ebohon, on his mother’s death.

The whole of The Russia Corporate World and its parental holding group today join Christopher Kenneth and his family members in and outside Nigeria in this period of unbearable grief and irreplaceable loss as they mourn their beloved mother, grand and great-grandmother, Mrs Mary Ebohon, the company said in a statement.

Mrs Ebohon passed away peacefully last month after a brief illness, complicated by pre-existing conditions, in a private hospital at Ubiaja in the midwestern Nigerian state of Edo. She is survived by six children, two sons and four daughters, lots of grand- and several great-grandchildren in and outside Nigeria.

“Most of us at The Russia Corporate World did not have the opportunity to know Mrs Ebohon in person whilst she was alive, but from our daily interactions with her son and our editor-in-chief over the past six years since he assumed the editorial management, we can aptly guess the type of a lady she was,” Ivan Sinshkevich, one of the principal shareholders of parental company of The Russia Corporate World, said.

“The exemplary features displayed daily by our editor in and outside the editorial room could only have come from a family background, where such values and virtues are taught right from the early youth, and we've all a reason to believe that most of those inspiration teachings came from Mrs Ebohon.”

Responding through TRCW Press Secretary Alex Freedmann, the editor, using this rare media opportunity, thanked both the shareholders and the entire staff of the journal and its parental company, as well as all friends, well-wishers and acquaintances in Russia, Nigeria and beyond that have expressed their condolences and stood by the Ebohon family in this bleakest period.

“My mother, Mrs Ebohon, was one of those typical Nigerian women, who believed and still believe in education as a means to greater things in life and always strive to do everything possible to ensure that their children get the best education that is commensurate to their abilities and potentials,” the editor said.

“Our mother’s death has a created a gaping vacuum in the family, complicated by the fact that she was the eldest member in our extended family system,” the family said.

“The Ebohon family has lost a unique source of inspiration, a moral compass and conscience and a deep well of family wisdoms, traditions and values that have been accumulated across several genealogies that can never be replaced. Indeed, all the children, grand and great grandchildren have already started experiencing the first feelings of orphanhood since her death a couple of day ago,” the family members noted. 

The burials arrangements are being done in accordance with the cultural, traditional and religious rites of the Esan people in the Edo State of Nigeria, the Ebohon family said in an official statement.
