The man Segun....
I knew of the boy called Segun from another friend,he was highly spoken of and i was enthralled by his personality and looked forward to meeting this enigma. I remember seeing him from afar and his gait was what i first noticed,he walked like someone in a hurry and on a mission.
Then last year, he sent me a message out of the blues and then i saw a new form of the man Segun.My next meeting with him was graced by the presence of another friend.In those few moments of reconnecting with this old school friend,i learnt life's lessons that couldn't be taught by no man.
He spoke as of old and recounted events that happened in the gaps and made fun of himself as referencing his beards he kept as a look to honour the black race and he wanted to look mature and do away with the baby face.He joked and even when it was time to leave,he asked for nothing but that we spend more time with him. The visit was reflective as the boy and man were peas in a pod,different times but same spirit.
After the news of his demise,it dawned on me reading through his resume that here was a man on a mission, he accomplished so much within a short period and even after all the health scare,he just wanted to be known for who he was.
I remembered on that visit we were about to drive out he stopped us and said,SP, you can't leave without we praying together.The drive home wasn't same but the lessons learnt will live on with us about this God's masterpiece that was simply himself and lived life as a trailblazer.
Segun came,saw and conquered grounds still not trod by many.
Adieu to a dear friend.....
