ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
A time to remember a selfless man, a caring man, a man of peace, a trailblazer whose light has shined upon many, whose example many have followed, whose hands have groomed a new generation, whose foresight has given us a platform, whose courage has set us apart.
We remember your love and care,
your sacrifices for us and many others,
your trials and tribulations,
the highs and lows of your dazzling life,
your victories and triumphs,
the messages that you tried to pass across, some of which we immediately understood, some of which we understood over time.
We're grateful to God for the opportunities that were ours through you, for the pathway that we discovered on account of the tentative steps you took, for the many pleasant memories of our time together. You're always in our hearts.

To the only Grand Dad I met and knew.

Times with you were short but qualitative. If I knew you were going to leave us I would have clung to you even more dearly, revering each passing second. Today, I clutch tightly to memories of you, polishing them each day till they shine in the chambers of my heart. Yes, there is plenty of room for you in there.

I would stand on the ground
Little feet planted on the soil
Elbows on my tiny waist
And my gaze would be up
In complete awe of Baba
As he threw the cashews down
All the way from that height
For Aunty Atule to gather
For his grandchildren
For me

Then I would run past the goats
With my treasured washed fruit
Gorging happily
I would sit and watch home eat
Wondering why that black dog
Respected him so
Lying calmly at his feet
The Dog never had a liking for me
But Baba did
I was glad

My siblings and I so little
Would crowd around him warmly
Listening to the radio
Lost in the warmth of his presence
So much warmth, so much calmness
I can still see him in our Kubwa house
The epitome of gentilty

My Father's Father
Time with you was short but treasured
I was stricken, today I rejoice
Knowing that you are safe
In the arms of my Father
Baba mi. Rest on
When the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there
Smiling, laughing.
You will. Oh what Joy!

Several years on, your words kept coming true and true. And day by day, my respect for you continues to grow. Your mathematical formulas would have helped me solve some of my life problems in d past 13yrs, only if you were around. You were a great man, but you have gone to be with the greatest of greats. And the almighty with the solutions to all. Together, you watch over us and your legacies continue to unite us. Rest on, in God's presence and enjoy the heavenly bliss. May your love keep us strong and may we live your dreams. May God continue to bless your seeds and may we prosper in all endeavours. God bless you Baba, we miss you!
