Reverend Gentleman Ti kii paro,ti kii jale(GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN)
Just like yesterday in the 80s on our long trip to&fro OYO ALAFIN,the memories of our encounters with Nigerian Police expecting to receive bribes and your humorous manner of response to correct the unfortunate menace in the society generated the slogan,,,,,,,I AM A REVEREND GENTLEMAN TI KII PARO,TI KII JALE.
How do I describe this great icon who despite his humble background made tremendous and remarkable impact in his generation.He had a great sense of integrity in a perverse world of corruption,his sense of punctuality was second to none and his ideology on the relevance of education was immeasurable.He had an incurable sense of humor to give hope to hopeless situations,he consistently lifted up those around with kind words,funny jokes and humble ear.Reverend Gentleman was the most sincerely altruistic person I have known with no attachment to material things,he preferred to build his children instead of mansions,he invested in the kingdom business instead of frivolities.His life,his influence,his energy is inextricably linked to mine and I take solace in that.Hummmnn,,,,,we shared great moments together,Reverend Gentleman was intelligent ,his attention to detail was infectious ,taught us many tricks to solve mathematical problems while growing up.
YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND DAD!!!!!!!!!!!
