Floreat

To a fellow kingsman, I leave a tribute even though i am much younger than you and did not not meet you in KC and never met you in this life.  I have been amazed by your academic profile and initmidating CV.  You make us all feel like mere mortals.  I am sure you carried yourself with humility and dignity going by the tributes I have read.  You have left this world to early.  At a time Nigeria needs men like you of sound intelligence and dignity.  You are one of the the best and the brightest and I weep in anguish that your working experience hadn't impacted in Nigeria at this opportune time.  By taking a last degree in Public Health maybe you were anticipating a return to Nigeria to advise government!  Ah Ah sun re O omoluabi.  We love you but Jesus loves you more. 

Femi I can't believe you are not with us anymore

I remember the summer, 2013, when i sat in your living room in Lagos as I prepared to leave for the US to do my MPH. Although it was the first and only meeting with you through Pamela, I felt comfortable sharing my concerns about relocating and you listened patiently. Thank you once again. You even shared that you would like to do an MPH despite your other degrees. I am glad you finally completed your MPH as you desired.

On the 29th of July, as I planned to call you to say, 'Doc, I'm rounding up my MPH and also passed my board exams', a call came from Pamela about your transition......
May your transition open new chapters in the lives of all that came across you especially your family.
I hope to meet you in heaven someday.
