Yeah yeah yeah!**hisses**
RIP Baba, I always admired you especially your Queen's English on NTA. Will surely miss you.

[quote author=Konnektions146] ok, i ve heard, ehnm, Segun....bye bye[ If you don't appreciate achievers and identified with them probably you've never achieved or don't want to achieve thus would not have to be identified with. What a generation we have that don't value real people

Amb. You are fondly and always remembered by me and people those who know the sacrifice you made for this country. Adieu papa

Oh my fucking goodness! I LOVE(D) Ambassador Olushola. Such a nice, humane, humble, erudite, cultured, sociable, respectable human being. One of those good old men you just merrily assumed would live forever. Saw him earlier this year in Ikeja. So depressed with this news. May God rest his lovely soul.

I'm so sad. Rest in peace my good sir. . .you lived a good life.

Saluda, Sir! You came, you saw, you conquered. May we live in interesting times. Truly, you lived an eventful life, and made your mark. Todays youths are living in politically, socially and boko haramically traumatizing times-our own ''interesting times''. Yet, I said to me, I never want to be forgotten. Clink heavenly champagne glasses wif my grandparents, tell'em their favourite grandchild is doing good. Right now, to you Ambassador Sola, I play Forever Young by Jay Z. Goodnight Baba, suu n re (RIP).

RIP!

RIP ...AMB Olusola

RIP!
