April 18, Bobrisky, Junior Pope, peace and happiness

I remember almost as though it were only yesterday this day 31 years ago. It was the first time I would be in Auchi, the land of the Otaru. I arrived the day before on a bill to give a public talk at Auchi poly technic on the subject: The Key to Peace And Happiness. My hosts were Mr and Mrs Osiki, both engineers, and lecturers at the polytecnic.

Please permit that, before I proceed, I recall a psychic case from the book Conversations With God, which was a gift from an acquaintance, Mr Jocob Akindele, who is also restless in ever deepening his recognitions about existence, peace and happiness and how to achieve them. One of the highlights of this book is a school boy named John, if my memory serves me right. He is reserved, hardly mixes.

As a litmus test, ask your children if you are over 70….who were Adeola Odutola, Obafemi Awolowo, Rufus Giwa, Ernest Shonekan, Tafawa Balewa, Michael Okpara, Denrus osadebey, Joseph Tarka, Isac Boro,Malam Aminu Kano, Ahmadu Bello, Margaret Ekpo, Olu Onagoruwa, Dick Ihetiu , Hogan Bassey and Brigadier Benjamin Adekunle. Many Nigerians have faint memories of them today. Many do not know them. Yet they made waves in their time.

So, you should please forgive me if I say I did not know the actors reported to have died recently and even Pope Odonwodo a.k.a. Junior Pope who drowned last week in the River Niger along with 11 other members of a group working on a film ironically titled: The Other Side of Life. He was unlucky to not be among the nine survivors. You have to be something other human to be not touched by the manner of his death and of his struggles to survive the drowning.
