“Alas! the kids and I can’t see you anymore nor converse with you any longer but I vehemently believe you are seeing us, how I wish we can still have few words because I’ve got a whole lot to tell you. I’m bereft of what to tell the boys especially, Adejuwon, because at his age, he reads and and surf the net so much that curiosity gets hold of him and has already know a lot about you. [SIC]

“You remain to me, a best father, teacher and mentor and husband that ever bestrode the landscapes.”

Recall the top Yoruba monarch died at 83 in the late hours of Friday and was buried according to Islamic rites on Saturday.
