Tribute to my Late Caring Father , Mr Alfred Adetunji OLUBAKIN.

February 9, 2022
There is no day that I do not remember your love for your children Dad. As young as I was then, I know you will come home for lunch with us and ensure that the meat given to your children are bigger than yours. I remember how you collect my report card and list of books at every end of session and drive me straight to Odusote bookshop and Baptist book shop at Ibadan to buy all my books and other necessary accessories. You will also include story books that were not in the list. You always encourage me to read all the books before the school resumes and this really helped me to have a solid educational foundation. You love education and I am happy that I follow your foot step in this regard. The legacy you left behind is intact and grew with the support of your caring and painstaking wife, my mother, Mrs Comfort Olawumi Olubakin now of blessed memory after completing the assignment you left for him. She never failed to give me one hour of her time to study with me throughout my primary education. She also continued in the legacy of laying  a good educational foundation. You were the first university graduate in Olubakin family and I your 2nd born Dr( Mrs) Aderonke Adetutu OKOYA ( nee Olubakin) to the glory of God followed you as the second University graduate and the first Olubakin to graduate from the University of Ife ( now Obafemi Awolowo University). I did not stop there, I proceeded to PhD level.  I know it will gladen you to see me excelling at this doctorate level. Daddy, as I miss your care I thought the best thing to do is to excel in what will gladen you if you are still with us. Sleep on Dad, your legacy lives on from generation to generation. Dr( Mrs) Aderonke Adetutu OKOYA (nee Olubakin)
