Adventurous Piyo turned Gentleman Airport Officer.
Piyo was an inspiration. To me and to all of us, whether you realised it or not (I’m sure now we all do).
Someone that changed classes in right in the middle of ‘hot pot’ SS2 and excelled.
Despite all his adventures he was able to turn his life around and achieve and inspire us all to do better.
I never talked to Piyo everyday but I knew he was in my corner. Definitely. Just as I know right now that he’s in heaven.
I asked Piyo on two occasions of our regular (and now too few hang outs in Abuja), ‘what made you change, Piyo, why are you so calm now’.
And the answer that stuck was ‘the people who continued in that part where are they now?’. Piyo had vision and made a turn around in His life because he saw a better life for himself and for us all. I’m sure that’s what made him pick up his phone to randomly check on people and genuinely encourage people. Every time I came into town and we couldn’t see because of his duties, he’d feel so bad and promise to make it up to me.
I’m glad I knew that man. I’m sad that he’s gone; gone with all the zeal, vision and dreams. Gone with the every inquisitive mind that bonded him, @Achebes and @Osita Nwana together. Piyo is gone.
But I have hope. His life gives me hope. That I can be better. That I can achieve all that I need to achieve in life as well as touch people’s lives in ways that no one can. Hope that I can have that testimony if it’s my turn today to go that I’ll definitely be in heaven with the angels.
Rest well Major Piyo, the unassailable! We shall meet again.
