Family, Loved Ones And Old Friends Here Gather To Reminisce, So To The Ever Alive Soul Of Comrade Conrad Rex Taiwo Oyebode Johnson Of A Someborthy, I Pen My Whole Mouth Wide Heartfelt Open Tribute
As I shared with you in the days before you transitioned, I shall ever celebrate the life that you lived, honored to have co-created countless experiences and Indelible memories with the juxtaposition of a peaceable you and your pugnacious twin allowing for the manifestation of dream or fabu-like fables
Like remember when we...................awwwwe shoot, I can't write about that here
Or when we.........................hiaaaaaaannnn, perhaps not.... yup, not about that either
Hmmmmmmmmmm........
We have dodged early expiration for decades, from our days pushing the Consuls downhill, to motorcross rally style IITA back dirt-road lake-plunging racing with indomitable Amaechi in his paneled contraption, exploits with the Crazy Yellow IjomahRoadCelica Fellow to our cross continent escapades with maidens, to our athletic prowess and agreements, to that special night of police koboko and baton lashes in Lagos to escaping at least a thousand deaths during crayfish Lower Wacker hallucinogenic fuelled twin Katana motor biking and other born troway waka matters in Chicago to our record breaking high speed Houston run - and Lake Pontchartrain kassalla - to eighteen-wheeling off the bridge with a 50,000lb payload, Orchid and other DaddysFarm Planting(s) to landscape working in Nigeria and innumerable other good and more gooder instances that wise counsel would say bordered on insanity, it is now crystal clear that the hand and protective shield of the Spirit Light That Grants The Universe It's Being had been upon us the whole time - and has now ordained that your soul return from whence it came, irrespective of your means or mode of departure
That Jiggs was able to communicate your impending journey to Our Maker, Ogbeni Commish MI5 helped hold the fort down as only he could, Fair Lady GeeFajee rend'ed pint and pinafore and I from only God-knows-where was able to reach out to a posse sight unseen from thirty five or more years ago - all except the ever obstreperous Liberty Road Rat, MarylandMarbleMan and recalcitrant Agodi, now Kenya-based Pulpitter - who were thrilled and managed to send you on time uplifting word, plus Baba 'Sijo who cleared his schedule to pay you a visit - that was our way of bombarding you with a sense of how much you were and always will be loved
Sisters and brothers who touched his dying heart with your communication, thank you thank you thank you once again
Added to undoubted loving support from family, it was apparently soo overwhelming that you shared with Jiggs how thankful you were to realize that you have lived a life filled with so much love, ready but perhaps not eager for your spirit to ascend and return at a later time
Since your departure, many more have expressed their will to yet add feathers to your hat and double portions of praise go out to #RingRoadKolizzo and #AuntieJenifaTheOyinboDudu for being unimaginably gracious reliably solid foundations of love, compassion and generosity
Up yonder, I am assured that you have been found by the growing legion of our other dearly departed, all your relatives, have been integrated in their petitioning on Peter, Jiggs, Seun also all our behalf and pray that you enjoy the beginnings of an eternity of restful peace in paradise until some more of us join you in about thirty, forty to forty five years......perhaps longer if I ever get to ride my Unicorn
Until then, we shall ever be filled with nothing but good memories, the recollection of your smile, kindness, bubble gum breath'd charisma and non-sabi-dancing self, thankful that your handsome spawn is even more of an integrity-filled immaculate young lad than you could have wished for and knowing that your love and legacy shall continue through him
Anointings of capacity shall be granted upon all who are crestfallen by this bereavement - as they draw strength from heart-warming memories and uncountable edge-of-your-seat stories elevating your souls schwagg even higher
It is well in Heaven, yes indeed
So shall it ever be with us who remain on earth
Gathering a tsunami of more soul lifting good tidings from #SoleFlowers loun loun Hawaii to Houston, Oak Park to Osogbo and all points in between - and on behalf of all who are yet to (bicos hand dey pain them) and shall hereafter send their love - Namaste and Goodnight My Dear #AnotherMrJohnson Ovva Brother Until Our Spirits Are One Day Re-United In An Afterlife Of Eternal Paradise
I Haff Said Mi'Yown
Shalom My Soul Sibling, And Again I Hail.....Shalom
