Waleol Re Kayode Elegbede, he lives in the UK - London. We worked for the same employer in the early/mid 90s (in the UK) and we lived not too far from each other, back then. I bumped into him again early this year, and he still very much lives in London. Baba Kay (as I fondly call him), was a 'Don' back in the day, however he is so disillusioned with sports and the way he was treated by the NSC that a lasting scar is left forever imprinted in his mind. Today, Baba Kay is a mutiple degree holder and none of his children have followed in his footsteps, sports-wise (due to the reason I gave above). I used to sit transfixed, listening to his stories of the days when he was competing for Nigeria. They were amazing stories. If only Nigeria had treated him better, today we (Nigeria) would have been benefitting from the wealth of experience and knowledge the man has. Kayode Elegbede was a fine athlete, and is a top bloke! |

Ye!!! I've just now found out that Kolawole Abdulai passed away 2 years ago in the USA. This guy use to be on of the fastest guy in Africa and the Nigeria government didn't even pay special tribute celebrating his achievement. |
