TRIBUTE TO A LOVING FRIEND.
George Olukayode Akande Osun was an ICON. A bosom friend and an associate for over 70 years. He was a Historian, a Political Scientist, a thorough Administrator and a fine Banker. He was among the founding father of the Mesiogo Executive Club which was formed in January 1973 and as a matter of fact, he was a Pioneer President of the club for a period of four years. During this period, he laid a solid foundation and his contribution to the growth of the club till Sunday, 11 th December 2022 could not be overemphasized Kayode was highly interested in the News around the whole world and read so many books on World Dictators like Stanlin of Soviet Union whose power was so monstrous that several flattering hymns were composed for him at the end of the day Stanlin memory was completely blocked out of history, so leaders like General Marvel Autonia Nuregua of Panama, Missoloni the founder of Italian Facist, whose body was hanged on the heel outside a garage in Milan, Adolf Hitler, Trujille Moliwa, Nuregua, General Idi Amin, Searget Kenyan Doe of Liberia and host of others. By the Grace of God, I fully enjoyed our friendship which bloomed for over 70 years. He was full of hard work, very resilient, TIMELINESS and punctual. He always urge members of the club not to postpone till tomorrow what we could today, that was why he would never come late to the club meeting or office or any other appointment. What a great example in timekeeping and punctuality. He always gave attention to details and would not give room for anything that was not well organized. Honestly, if wishes were roses, then I would have prayed that the Almighty God bring him back to us. But since this is not the case, we accept the will of God. We thank God that you are now resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, and may his love and peace be with us all. You remained an epitome of hard-working, reliable, social, very articulate, full of selfless service to mankind, an embodiment of discipline and epitome of contentment. Your memory will continue to linger in our hearts forever. I cannot close this tribute without an elegy in his sweet memory. The end of the rod, you struggled to know but you never lived to make it known. With endless fright death rubbed unknown! A great companion for over 70 years stolen! Yet we are all prone. But to those for whom the blood atones. It’s a dance for the kingdom’s tune No wonder we are not sleep drown For we know, you are on the Lord’s throne Posterity depicts today, your unbroken bone How in your nice nature, you carved great clones Valued beyond rubies, beyond bronzes Therefore we know, you cannot be dethroned Till we join you on the Lord’s throne While we yet nurture the gemstones We also pray to make it to the throne.
