Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like…

I dedicate this song of Elton John to late princess Diana to you

Yinka Odumakin is gone, Afenifere is dead!!!

Who will speak for the common man, who will speak for the masses

Only a courageous man can dare politicians and speak truth to them like Yinka Odumakin

Yinka, we only hear about honesty but you lived it till death!!!

Where can we find another like Yinka Yinka, omo Odumakin!!!

I never knew that Nigerians as divided and tribalized as we are now can set our differences aside to mourn you!

Your words brought hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, courage to encourage the courageous but you left so soon!

Where can we find another like you

A leader true to it meaning
A beautiful soul, I never met
The defender of the defendless
An exemplary honest man

A testament that truthful beings still exist in Nigeria

Wake up! Odumakin, I would have said but I know that just like Dora Akunyili, Ada Adevoh, peaceful Yaradua, you live on!

Continue to rest in peace, a hero who never wore a cape but surpassed the immaginery heroes in capes!

You have impressed boldness in the heart of people! You have done your bit, Yinka!

Rest on! A true leader.

Seun, lala, mynd do the needful abeg! We need to celebrate people like Yinka Odumakin
