I lost a friend. I don't know what to write. Nigerian call you General lagbaja, some friends call you Biodun, Taoreed. My friend I call oyinbo my grandmother gave you the name. I remembered how we use to go boys scouting event. Play felele soccer into iya alakara oil in ifelodun osogbo. I remembered how we use to build a cage for rabbit. The school days in Demonstration and St. Charles. I have a lot to say to you Oyinbo. Why now . Allah knows best.
