On January 3rd, 2012, I received a call from a friend who informed me of Mrs. Ogunbamise’s passing.

Years ago, I was at Tosin Idowu’s home when his older brother shared a letter Tosin had written during his time as a Nigerian scholar in Ukraine.

About thirty years ago, Yemisi wrote me a letter.

As I prepared for today’s service, I received a call. Unintentionally, I rejected it before realizing who was calling.

On my way to CMS, the bus stopped briefly at Victoria Island—a bustling spot where passengers typically alight and board.

It was 1988, and the external examination that would mark our exit from Ojota Secondary School, Ojota, was fast approaching.

“Danke Jürgen” was a banner prominently displayed at Anfield Stadium, home of Liverpool Football Club, during the manager’s final game on home soil.

It was supposed to be an ordinary day in Class 3C at Ojota Secondary School, but Jide could never have predicted what he would encounter.
