Two Years Down The Line...

Two years gone already... So many laughter and joy even in the midst of everything. God is faithful still.

It looks so unreal to know two years has gone already. A lot of good memories happened and if it is possible for him to look down to see, I am sure he would smile. What a life he had.

I wrote this piece for him two years ago:

I can never forget, i still very much remember
Your words are always seasoned with tender
With every strength, help you want to render
You have always been handsome, and slender
Now your death came as a shock with wonder
I can hear the cloud in anger gave thunder
You speak politics with much knowledge and no blunder
The bond between yourself and your elder brother (my dad) death couldn't put asunder
Now you are both given to the earth and will lie under
I know when you come around from Lagos with lot of goodies
Myself and my brothers will jump on you with our bodies
You touched our heads as a lady touch her teddies
You smile so good to make us know we are your lovelies

It has been such an honour to have you as my Uncle. I sincerely wish you didn't have to go right now because you deserve more love and pamper. Your voice still echoes in my head. I can't block out the image of you that I have in my head. I picture you in the pen feeding those birds. I picture you right now skinning them. I picture you sitting down at your favourite spot watching the news and looking in disbelief the kind of leaders without conscience that we have, as you watch the decadence and you pray for Nigeria to be better. I see every side. I see it all. Still look so unreal to me right now to know you have gone.

I know you voted to die seeing you are a wise man because death doesn't surprise wise men, they are always ready to leave.

Adieu Dearest Uncle Peter Olufayo Oladoja.

Never knew your light would go out so quickly
But many lives i know you touched so richly

I have no idea what to think right now, but until we see on that glorious day, i love you and i will miss you.

God, we give you all the glory. I say, thank you. You are God all by Yourself. This only confirms that You are God and it can never change. Master chess player. You always burst Your moves, we can only watch and by divine insight understand. Thank you Father. Thank you. We are grateful.


Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
