MY JAMB RESULT 1984

January 18, 2023

by

I can't forget the day you broke the news of my Jamb result which paved way for my admission into University of Ife (now) O.A.U, Ife. It was a memorable day, the late Dr. Adeniran of Jamb came to deliver the results to Baba Alamu but didn't meet him at home. Just as he was exiting St. Luke's College, Molete' gate, you drove in and that was it. Another 30 minutes you were still discussing. Meanwhile, all of us residing within St. Luke's and the neighborhood and took Jamb exams that year gathered in front of the Alamus.
Suddenly, you drove into the compound and straight into our house and you asked after me, my mom sent Bosede to call me and I left the Alamus'. Congratulations son, you did well, you are getting in for Pharmacy at Ife by God's grace- that was the message. I was so excited, and that was the last day I set my foot on GCI, Apata where I was getting set for my HSC.
Thank you Dad, for the sacrifices you made to give us sound education, it's visible all over us and am doing same for Tochuckwu. Continue to rest in the bosom of your Maker, the Lord Jesus Christ. O tun di ojo Ajinde ti a o pade lese Jesu, after good health, prosperity, long life and purposeful living for Jesus on earth in Jesus mighty name Aaaaaaaaaaamen

Time they say, heals the wound.....but I am not sure the wounds your demise left can be permanently healed in our hearts.....it created a big vacuum .....so big that no one else can fill. We are however, consoled by your good deeds while on earth, knowing God as your personal saviour and desire to always make others smile ....no matter how little. Hence, we continue with these legacies.....and your wife ....our mum......of recent has been on and off health -wise.......please kindly tell her to stay a bit longer ......I know she misses you daily. For me it has been one of a fluctuating mood and a life time regret of "could I have done something better to keep you alive".....I miss you ....it hurts deeply....no one can understand the way I feel......only you .......Sleep on Dad....the tears still flow freely ......but they say it is therapeutic.
