Teju Babyface Tribute To Tunji Okusanya Of MIC by Shegman22(m): 7:16pm On Oct 04, 2013
#‎tributetoMIC 1 when i tell my driver that Tunji Okusanya of MIC is dead, I envision he will say, 'ah! man daada to ma'n fun mi l'owo yen!'

#tributetoMIC 2 (dat generous man!) I walked into his office to invite him 2 Season2 of our show in 2010. We had never met but he hugged me.

#tributetoMIC 3 He told me how he loved our show and how I would go far up the ladder of Success. I discovered that he liked to laugh a lot.

#tributetoMIC 4 on the day of recording, he came to time and when we were done, he shared money around like a politician going to the polls.

#tributetoMIC 5 and so we would become 'friends'. More like Egbon (elder sibling) and aburo (younger sibling).

#tributetoMIC 6 when my father died 2years later and we reeled in pain and confusion, his boys were there in 30mins with MIC's best hearse.

#tributetoMIC 7 without a mention of money, they took my dad to the best morgue around and immediately started making plans for the burial.

#tributetoMIC 8 in his office, he gave me my pick of the best coffins and asked me to bring any amount of money I wished

#tributetoMIC 9 'I could do it for free', he said, 'but I don't want you to bury your father in a coffin that costs you nothing'.

#tributetoMIC 10 on burial day, he personally carried my father's body all the way to our village, Ajaawa, in Oyo State. He spent the night.

#tributetoMIC 11 next morning, he danced in front of the coffin to and from the church and personally laid my dad to rest.

#tributetoMIC 12 he also stayed for the party after, 'spraying' money on us all as we all danced to Shina Peters, trying to bury our sorrow

#tributetoMIC 13 when I returned to thank him in his Lagos office, he was wearing a beautiful pair of slippers. Black and obviously costly

#tributetoMIC 14 'I like your slippers Uncle', I said. He immediately removed them and insisted I must take them there and then!

#tributetoMIC 15 I protested long but he wouldn't budge. If you see me wearing a pair of Italian leather slippers, them are the ones.

#tributetoMIC 16 He explained to me how life was just fleeting and how we should try our best to avoid unhealthy attachment(s) to anything.

#tributetoMIC 17 you see, having buried so many, rich and poor alike, he had a view to life dat was uncommon & probably wholesome in health.

#tributetoMIC 18 he also agreed to come on our show for the 2nd time setting a record as the only Special Guest to have had that honor

#tributetoMIC 19 when it was time to get married, he danced behind me on the engagement day, wearing my colors and yes, sharing money. Again

#tributetoMIC 20 Not minding age, he threw himself prostrate beside me and my friends as we 'begged' for my wife in d tradition of the land.

#tributetoMIC 21 He would call me up every now and again, always chuckling. 'Iyawo mi nko', he would ask? (how is my wife?)

#tributetoMIC 22 He was in d habit of saying to my family, 'I love you guys'. I am not sure I ever said d same to him even though I felt it.

#tributetoMIC 23 and so I woke this rainy day as even the skies mourned and shed tears thinking 'surely if good deeds meant anything...

#tributetoMIC 24 'surely if good deeds mean anything, this was a man who did not deserve to go thus. Surely not in this manner?'

#tributetoMIC 25 But what do I know? I am just another traveller on this parched tract. Your work and Legacy live after you Uncle Tunji.

#tributetoMIC 26 I love and will miss you. In the words of the yoruba people, 'O ye Olorun bi ko ye Eniyan'. (God understands all mystery)

There is no way there won't be communication with the inner voice before a step is taken. I believe someone of them never gave the man inside a chance to decide for them,while some heard the voice but ignored. In life everyone needs a quite moment before taking a step. Ignorance is disobeying the inner voice and the end result is a disaster.

And it is He Who gives life and causes death, and His is the
alternation of night and day. Will you not then understand?

“Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in
fortresses built up strong and high!” And if some good reaches them,
they say, “This is from Allah,” but if some evil befalls them, they
say, “This is from you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ).” Say: “All
things are from Allah,” so what is wrong with these people that they
fail to understand any word?

Saw this on his fb profile yesterday. What a nice man to die.

Life could be rich and could be poor. Let's all live reasonably and be the best we could be to not only our loved ones but also to people around us. Let's help when we could help. Let's shun evil when we could. Let's embrace peaceful cohabitation among diverse tribes in this country. Let's stop hating!

The rich and the poor would die and be buried. Ain't nothing to escape the imminent but what would people say after we died?

This man lived a purposeful life. He buried people, he knew he would die one day, he was rich and yet he lived his life for others.

RIP sir.
