I dont want to be like him, educated and poor.
He may not inspire young ones.
Poverty is not a blessing and is not unrelated
to laziness and short sightedness.
I wish him RIP.

What is this one saying? There is a percentage of people on earth not moved by material things. An internationally renowned professor is not by any measure "poor" he could afford those things in life you crave-he just did not want them. That is a choice. Its a higher level of awareness...to be able to have, but not crave.

Yes oh...... Obafemi is now an Associate Prof. Really like the woman. You didn't include Essia the runs guy

NgeneUkwenu:


Throughout my University days, he drove only his old Volkwagen car (beetle), no house of his own, even though he had retired then.

My first encounter with prof. Eskor toyo was during my university days in ABU, Zaria. He was the guest speaker and disussion centred on the global economic crises. I remembered him saying" there are many economist in the world but if you want to see an economic scientist come to calaba"

As a Great Malabite and an Econocrat(99'/2000), I cannot but lament the loss of a great mind in the person of Professor Toyo even though I was never directly under his tutelage. Also, the deaths of Dr Bassey and Professor Ndebbio has robbed us of mentors. On a lighter note, it's a pleasure to see that there are Malabites (and Malabresses) here on nairaland.

I have to come out of retirement to comment here oh! The great Prof? Dead? I did not sit for his lectures cause he was retired then, but was present at a speech he gave at NAT once. Rousing speech about how we the young should not sit and watch the country descend into chaos and corruption. Funny hearing the comments about Graham and Essia. Great Malabites!!!
