Gus, your departure was so soon so shocking but, I guess, you accomplished your mission on earth !
Thank you for your contributions to Nigeria Friendship Society, Nigeria Community Association Bradford and many other local and national organisations that were fortunate to have you as a member. You were a wonderful source of information and inspiration. Excelled in organising and driving for positive change for the benefit of all. Full of wisdom and always committed to engagements. You were truly a man of the people ! Your legacy lives on and you will be missed so badly by your family and friends. May Almighty God give your family the strength to bear your departure. I will miss the little debates we used to have, seeing the smiles and puzzles in your face. May Almighty God grant your gentle soul eternal rest, until our spirits meet again… 🙏
It is sad to hear that you are no more Mr Gus Ibegbuna. A dear friend and dynamic leader. Your legacy shall always remain. The last chat we both exchanged was on 6th of May 2022. No-one ever knew that the call is around the corner.
You are a gem. You will always be remembered for all your good deeds and intentions.
On behalf of the National Association of Nigerian Communities in United Kingdom (NANC). We thank God for a life well spent. We strongly believe that you are now at the right place. A place where we will meet one day, but will part no more.
May God console and strengthen the families and friends left behind. Adieu brother.

Gus, you have left us. You are at peace. A true Nigerian you were. I worked with you as the treasure of Nigerian Friendship Society (NIF). You took me further to the wider Nigeria Umbrella organisation here in the UK. Your presence was huge. A dear friend you were and all that know you will miss you.
May your soul rest in perfect peace and may our Lord God give your family the fortitude to bear your loss.
Rest in peace my dear friend. I will miss you greatly. I felt bad when I heard that you were gone. I couldn’t even go to work. I couldn’t concentrate for 3 days because of the shock. I pray your family will bear the loss and remember you for a great community person you were.
Gus, you are gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. May your soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.
On behalf of the Dominica Association of Bradford, we would like to convey sincere condolences to your family. We appreciate your invaluable support over the years, Rest in Eternal Peace
Although I am not from the Nigerian community I valued my friend and fellow person with diabetes Gus and was very shocked and saddened by his passing. Gus had the biggest personality and his passion for addressing the health inequalities of Nigerian and all minority ethnic communities is second to none. I look forward to celebrating his life and he will never be forgotten.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the C. Augustine Ibegbuna family. May the good Lord keep our brother “GUS” under his wings as he begins to navigate this new existence. Our prayers are with your family.
May your soul rest in perfect and everlasting peace.You were a shining light and exemplary in your endeavours within and outside our community. You will be a hard act to follow in every respect. Rest at the bosom of our Lord.
