The best foreign minister that we've had in a long time. I'm actually surprised that they would take him to a country that he had loggerheads with for treatment.

RIP Sir.

Olugbenga Ashiru, former minister of foreign affairs, has died in a South African hospital after a long battle with illness.

The career diplomat, credited with re-energising Nigeria’s presence in international diplomacy in the post-Olusegun Obasanjo era, died on Saturday. Family sources told TheCable that he had been battling with brain tumour for a while and had be hospitalised for over three months.

Former minister of foreign affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru
Ashiru played a key role in the diplomatic face-off between Nigeria and South Africa in 2012 over the deportation of 125 Nigerians for not possessing valid yellow fever vaccination certificates. Nigeria retaliated and the stand-off was eventually resolved. Ashiru, appointed minister by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011, was removed in 2013 in a cabinet reshuffle. He had been one of the most respected ministers but he was said to have been nominated into the cabinet by Obasanjo who had publicly fallen out with Jonathan.

Ashiru, while handing over, said he had succeeded in securing 22 key international appointments for Nigerians. Some of the positions included the commissioner for political affairs in African Union and commissioner for peace and security at the ECOWAS commission.

“I am leaving foreign ministry as a fulfilled man considering my achievements in just two years,” he said. He was born on August 27, 1948 in Ijebu Ode, Ogun state. The product of University of Lagos, was Third Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1972, and served as ambassador to the South Korea in 1991. He was Nigeria’s high commissioner to South Africa, with concurrent accreditation to Lesotho and Swaziland, in 2005.

But what if that 'something' is preventable?

The deaths of many could be traced to the criminal negligence of the nation's regulatory agencies that have abandoned their mandate and are now offering their services to the highest bidders, those they are meant to regulate inclusive.

NCC and NESREA come to mind here. The rates at which the indiscriminate location of telecom masts/cell towers in the country are allowed is terrible and it's not far fetched that the deaths by cancer and related causes have skyrocketed since the proliferation of cell towers began.

We know some of the 'big' names who have been felled by cancer in their prime: Alao Arisekola, Dora Akunliyi, Maryam Babangida, Justice Ayo of Lagos State Judiciary, former Ekiti State Deputy Governor Funmilayo Olayinka, Gani Fawehinmi, Patrick Aziza, Oluremi Oyo, et.c. and now Olugbenga Ashiru.


How about the unknown millions who are dying by the minutes due to this obvious criminal neglect?

Well, maybe there's hope with the current signals emanating from NESREA: http://www.naij.com/63941.html

But the huge step could only be taken by NCC and its Federal Government, just for both to obey the law: http://www.slideshare.net/mojisolaadigun56/nesreas-telecom-and-broadcast-facilities-regs-2011

I first heard the news this morning on Nigeria Info. And I was like ''WTF?!''
A fine gentleman, if you ask me.
Though I had a personal beef with him when he said that the fact that Nigeria stands against same-sex craze, doesn't mean that she won't accept gay diplomats into the country.
(Go ask CAN what happened next), I secretly admired him.
Goodnight, Boss.
