Wole is a personable being any decent person would be loved to associate with. In terms of age difference and according to Yoruba protocols and code of ethics, I believe I am not qualified to write this synopsis about his intimidating credentials of a life of service, sacrifice, perseverance and humanity in the past six decades. However, considering our ‘cult-like” bond from childhood to adolescence, through adulthood to this stage of life, I can authoritatively state that I am no less qualified to express my thoughts on how his deeds have shaped my life and those of the younger ones in a family whose breadwinner was cut down in his prime.
