Thankful for family and friends going all out to cheer me up! This time last week I was in so much pain but my sis Yewande Adewunmi Abolarinwa and her husband came to the rescue.

This week it's @moj_ojo . Sir was a jolly man who could party for state and country! He never missed the club right till his old age. I'm sure he'll be mighty pleased!

Oya Moji come quick! I'm hungry! I'm #alldressedandreadytogrub

Meanwhile... this Samsung camera is just fabulous. Wayyyyyy better than the iPhone. I haven't done anything o! I should be able to use this as a passport photo nah?! At least I'm not smiling too much abi? And it is against a light background. Or what do you think?

Ok one last one!

PS. No need to leave a condolence message. You have left so many. Just enjoy these memories with me and help celebrate him. I feel better when I write.

Maybe I should even compile these short stories into a tiny ebook. 🤔

After Uni, Sir wanted me to go for my Masters but I was not interested. I wanted to work instead.

So you can imagine how happy he was when I told him I was going back to school years later.

‘Oh that’s good. So which school are you going to?’

‘Fashion School’

He paused for a second and then he started laughing!

‘Daddy, I’m serious. Why are you laughing? I’m going to South Africa and I already have my visa’.

He stopped laughing.

Then the bombshell:

‘And I want you to pay for it’.

Without hesitation, he said: ‘Ok’

‘Seriously????’

‘Yes if that’s what you want to do, no problem. How long is the Course for?’

‘3 years’

‘What will happen to your job?’ He loved the idea of me working in an accounting firm.

‘Nothing. I will resign’

And that was it!

Up until that moment, I had no idea how I would pay my fees. I did everything purely on faith! I didn’t want my mum to since she had already done so much. She handled the living expenses thankfully.

We took this in Cape Town.

When Fashion School was over, the support didn’t end. He gave me an old set of furniture for my office, some of which I still use today.

He gave me business advice. The one I can never forget is never to buy training materials before a student has paid. Their payment should be used to buy the machines and materials I need. I saved so much money from that advice and still adopt it today!

He raised me in the early days (‘dash’ or loan) and gave me equipments I needed. I still use a gen he gave me till today.

Too many things to say and I am actually laughing when I remember these things.

Many people have great things to say about Sir. He impacted many people.

I won’t pretend it was all ‘lovey dovey’. He had his shortcomings like every other human being but writing these has put me in a much better space.

Thank you all for letting me share just a tad bit of my memories with you.

He will be missed!

So I have been told my stories are becoming too mu

So I have been told my stories are becoming too much. You have all commiserated with me and I thank you so I am not expecting any more condolence messages.

So please don’t feel compelled to leave a message. You have already left so much that I cannot even respond to.

I have always used social media to rant and release tension and this is no different really.

I write and I feel better when I write. Not much fun if you write and there is no one to read it.

I had one more to write but I will make this the last one.

Sir the Matchmaker

No he didn’t introduce me to AA so ‘kam dan’.

I was done with Fashion School and I was at his place.

‘Tope, marriage nko?’

‘Daddy no man yet. I can’t manufacture man’.

‘Don’t worry I have someone. His father was… He is…’ and he went on and on.

🤨

‘Daddy you want to introduce me to man??? You will now tell everyone you found me a man. No’

‘But this boy is very very nice. Ngbo Lanre’

Lanre came with sweet mouth as always.

‘Ah Tope he is a correct guy. Real correct guy’ etc etc.

I’m ashamed to say I was interested 🙈🙈🤣

Day came and we were and introduced.

Feedback time. It was a No.

Fast forward years later, I had found someone and it seemed serious so I told Sir.

‘What’s his name? Where is his family from? Give me his father’s name Let me do my investigation’

Hian?!

‘Yes we need to do our findings’

🤦🏽‍♀️

Long and short sha, turns out someone from his side is some distant distant distant relative to my dad. He was besides himself!

‘Yes! You brought a good boy’

‘You’ve not even met him. How do you know he is good?’

But they met eventually. Then his parents came for a formal meeting.

I was a bit nervous because AA’s dad (God rest his soul) was a very quiet man and my dad can talk for Africa.

I was worried they would not get along or my dad would own the whole conversation.

All it took was one sentence and the gisting started! In 5 minutes, I knew it was a done deal!

We lost AA’s dad in August last year. And now Sir this year. God rest their souls. At least, now the 2 Daddies can continue their gist in Heaven.

@calm counting on you…
