A huge loss to the Lagos social community.

A big blow to tennis in Nigeria (He sponsored the popular Asoju Oba tennis cup for many years).

I grew up reading about him and seeing his face in the newspapers. It was therefore only natural to grab the opportunity to meet him when our paths crossed in a small clinic in VI in January 2012.

I was feeling unwell and had gone to that clinic close to my then office when I saw a familiar man walk into the clinic.

"This face is familiar. Is this not Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas?" I soliloquized. It's like seeing Dangote on the street despite never seen him live before, even if he wears turban, I would recognize him, although the thought that a Dangote could not have been that casual can send one's brain into confusion.

I knew that one of the nearby streets was named after him and his residence was not far from that place, but I didn't imagine a whole Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas would trek, without aide, without security, to a clinic - a small one - himself. He trekked to the clinic!!!

The nurses were doing my own vitals when he came in and he joked with me: "See this young man, you're doing BP check. What have you done? It is elders like us that need it."

I laughed. The nurses, who knew him probably as a regular caller in that clinic, also laughed and quickly attended to him.

I couldn't have missed the opportunity to take a shot with him that morning. This is the picture.

That was 2012 - three years ago.

May God grant the Okoya family the fortitude to bear this loss

Oh dearie me. Why must the good always go first. Another light goes out in the better parts of this country. Now who will fill those big shoes, take an interest in the uninteresting and serve selflessly....alas we are all looking for what we will get and who will give to us....RIP Sir and fortitude to his family and friends.

He was a great man.
