My dad would always say I would follow him around all the time when I was a kid. We’d go to parties and I’d go play with the kids and then come back to make sure I kept an eye on him. lol. One other memory i remember is when he wore ROYAL BLUE from head to toe at my 5th grade graduation. As a 10 year old I was mortified but as an adult I know he was being the Nigeria-Detroit-Playa that he was. He was honestly one of the coolest men I’ve known and definitely where I get my “flyness” from. I miss our phone calls and lectures from him in Nigeria to me in Detroit. I miss hearing his laugh. Thank you for the memories Daddy (and many voicemails I now covet) and I’ll love you forever.
