Good Night, Sunny Ojeagbase


 

Appreciation for your spontaneous

response to my wife's birthday.

May good things never cease in your surroundings through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

Good Night Sunny Ojeagbase

Sunny Ojeagbase is a man blessed in the true meaning of the word.

Yorubas have a saying that from the black pot comes the white pap.

Here was a man with an undistinguished background breaking bounds.

He left the Nigerian Army to leave an indelible mark in the annals of Nigerian journalism.

During my service year in Sokoto in 1983, I fell in love with Guardian Newspaper sports pages due to the refreshing style of this reporter with a diploma and not a Degree.

Together with Chris Okojie they made my constant visit to the Library of Sokoto state polytechnic really pleasurable.

From there to Concord Newspapers and finally his own enterprise with undiminished quality and content.

Finally adding Business Mentorship, no wonder he got an honorary Doctorate Degree.

Sunny Ojeagbase, at 71, Rest in Peace.

You were truly Blessed.

What happens when the EFCC need to arrest the Army Chief? Whose help would they enlist? In a country where a traditional ruler surrenders to the police and the police hand him over to the army. Many people have been calling for military intervention but History teaches that humans do not learn from History, hence History keeps repeating itself. After about twenty five years of civilian rule without much to show for it, amnesia has set in and many are calling for military rule. Hmmmm. I wish such people luck but they should remember IBB and Abacha. The damage done by the duo still hurts us, but people feel the cure for a problem is a change of approach. Every system comes with it's challenges. It is like a person who feels the cure for a mechanical problem is a change of machine. Wh
