My imaginations are running wild. I'm having vivid dreams, or rather, vivid nightmares with eyes wide open. The gloom in the clouds is condensing into rivulets of uncertainty, of despair.

It's a moment when death defeated the essence of life. it's a moment when all worldly pleasures have lost their spice. it's a moment when our morale is at its lowest ebb , if any ebb at all. it's a moment when death was at its indiscriminate best: sparing the wicked , taking the good;leaving the uncouth, striking the meek. Death was crazy!

Far from the theatrics and tradition of praising the dead, Dr Olajide Olayiwola was a great man, and probably more than that. His personality was a perfect cocktail of intelligence, courage, humility and finesse - a unanimous verdict by everybody that had met him- He was of a rare ilk.

He demonstrated the precepts and the very act of leadership: He was ever-smiling but very firm. He was extremely logical, but accommodated opposing views no matter how obnoxious. He left indelible trails of impacts in his wake. He was vibrant and full of life, a life that was agonisingly cut short in its prime!

Dr Olajide, you were the face and the definition of our collective struggle. A struggle you selflessly propagated without compromise. you carried us all along, but not in your struggle against death. We wish we were there to snatch you away from the claws of death. We wish we were there to reverse ur morbid fate, as you groaned and writhe in your own pool of blood. But alas, death had a field day, and you gasped and lapsed into the great beyond.

It's indeed your sad end, but your footprints surely remain indelible. Adieu Mr President.

Dr Oladapo Victor, EKSUTH

RIP to the death.

R.I.P

Our fallen hero, who was always full of live and hope, and a fearless comrade. He stood by the course he strongly believed in, pursuing an overdue improvement in the working environment and welfare of his colleagues, that he heartily represented in his life time.
We truly love you, our dear Dr Olajide, and pray you enjoy your peace in the world beyond... ADIEU...
