I am just realizing one of the slayed kings in Ekiti by the terrible kidnappers is Onimojo of Imojo, Oba Olatunde Samuel. 😭
He was my best lecturer from another dept in FUTA that year. Everyone in my class loved him though he was in Quantity Survey Dept. 😭
I will never forget one of Kabiyesi’s class where he was teaching us about Formwork in construction. A lady raised her hand saying she didn’t understand the function of formwork. This man gently asked her “those books, pen and calculator in front of you, are they yours?”
She replied “Yes”.
He said “is that bag yours too?” She replied “yes”. He said “pack your things into your bag” with a straight face. We all thought he was sending her out of the class. The lady was perplexed while packing her stuff into her bag amidst the silence. Then Kabiyesi said “That is the function of a formwork. Same way your bag is holding your things and keeping them in a spot, that’s how formwork hold concrete mix during construction”.
The entire class bursted out clapping. I can never forget that day. We all understood immediately. He was a grade “A” lecturer, gentle going and full of smiles. A kingly lecturer.
Rest in peace Kabiyesi! 🕊️
The US now exhibits a radical incapacity to shape political reality. Three examples: 1. Afghanistan. The US occupied the country for almost 20 years but left everything the same as it was
If you call me and i take your calls, take my fuckin' calls too!!!
It shouldn't matter that my calls are in the middle of the night and you think normal people should be asleep at such hours.
This day and age normal people don't fuckin' sleep anymore, insomnia is the new normal.
Keep your wits about you. The hustle and bustle, the harrows of these fucking times shouldn't rob you of good times and humour. Let's jolly from time to time and be alright with whatever situation we find ourselves. Cheers to us!
