May God give mankind the cure to this cancer epidemic that is now ravaging this country. Wishing this had happened this to those who have looted this country blind and not a good man like Felix. Good night brother.

I knew Felix Okugbe way back as a little boy in Benin when he was a sports presenter with bendel or later Edo broadcasting service with one Sylvester ogboname a very good analyst, when I came back to Lagos in the mid nineties i was happy when when Okugbe later joined AIT sports. Felix has paid his dues in sports journalism and is a pioneer of the kind of sports programs we enjoy in the media today.

Rest in peace Felix
