Segun Babajeje: Is it really a goodbye?

Image
By Gbenga Ishola  "We lost Segun Babajeje this morning". I got the above terse message from Samson Adeniyi, the immediate younger brother to late Olusegun Jospeh Adeniyi aka Babajeje, on Sunday morning while preparing for church. Samson had earlier called several times to reach me but to no avail. When later he called the second time, he broke the sad news of Segun's demise and it was as if the whole world stood still. "Babajejeoo! I screemed. "What happened?" I asked. Unfortunately, no one to offer me an honest answer till now.  That I am still not in the right frame of mind to pen this tribute for a long time brother and friend is a point I can not deny myself. However, I have decided to avoid any temptation of going into details of how that popularly name, "Babajeje came to existence over several decades ago. I do not have that liberty. The nickname, according to history, was given as a result of the calm nature of his late grandfather ...

Elder Oyinlola @ 84: Happy Birthday to a Community Leader

Image
By Ishola Gbenga ANIPR In today’s Elesinmeta! One name stands among the most respected figures in that community. Pa Elder Solomon Bamidele Oyinlola. A man whose name has become synonymous with worthy leadership, fearless engagements, and stable dedication to both the church and the community at large.

CHIEF SOLOMON AREMU ISHOLA: A Year Gone Without A Savant Leader

Image
By Ishola Gbenga As someone who is now in the fatherless league, losing a father is a pain unlike any other. Today makes it a year that my beloved father, Chief Solomon Aremu Ishola, the Ajagungbade IV of Elesinmeta had gone to be with the Lord. It is a memory that no words can fully ease, but we pray that the memories of his love, wisdom, guidance and selfless service to God and humanity bring us comfort in the days ahead. However, we found strength in the remarkable life he lived and the values he instilled in the entire family. No doubt! Fathers are precious. Fathers are wonderful. Every Father that dies, leaves a message. It is therefore expected that every orphan or fatherless child must seek the meaning of that message and navigate this troubled world more carefully. For me, the resting place on a father’s shoulder is the most personal, intimate, and original heritage that we all share. Life is indeed about memories. ‘’Fading away like the stars of the morning, losin...
