A good lesson to learn on arrogance from the story of Late Bode Thomas:
Bode Thomas whom street was named after @Surulere, died on Nov 23,
1953 in a most mysterious manner. Bode Thomas was born to a wealthy
trader, John thomas in 1918.He was privileged from childhood. He attended the C.M.S. Grammar School, a missionary school founded by Bishop Ajayi Crowtter.
When he left the school, he started work at the Nigerian Railway Corporation. In 1939, he went to London to study law.
His huge frame earned him the appellation “buldozer”. Whenever he set a positive goal for himself, every obstacle on the way must be uprooted. His successes in law practice, politics and government were hinged on his sheer resolve to triumph in the face of all odds.
Perhaps, that also was why he was always controversial. He was a founding leader of Egbe Omo Oduduwa and Action Group which sprang up from the socio-cultural organisation. He was the first Legal Adviser of the group. Himself, FRA Williams and Remi Fani-Kayode (Father of Femi Fani-Kayode)
attended Law School in London, and jointly established the first law firm
in Nigeria called "Thomas, Williams & Kayode". The law firm was
established in Jankara Lagos. Bode Thomas was an excellent lawyer, but
also very arrogant. Because of
his education, he was made chairman of the Oyo Divisional Council at one time while Alaafin Adeyemi of Oyo (father of the current Alaafin) was a
mere member! On Bode Thomas' first appearance in council after being
appointed chairman, all council members stood up for him in deference, to
welcome him, except Oba Adeyemi, who, for cultural reasons, should not
show deference to anyone in public, not even his mother! Bode Thomas
rudely shouted at the King "...WHY WERE YOU SITTING WHEN I WALKED IN? YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW RESPECT?" Then, Bode Thomas was 34 years while Alaafin was in his 60s. The Alaafin
felt very insulted and said "SE EMI LO NGBO MO BAUN?" (Is it me you are
barking at like that?) Bode Thomas responded by shouting in vocabularies
which Alaafin didn't understand, so Alaafin just told him... "MA GBO
LO" (continue barking). This was on November 22, 1953. Bode Thomas
got home and started barking! He barked, barked and continued barking like dog all night until he died in the early morning of November 23,
1953. Bode Thomas was the Balogun of Oyo. So, when next you drive on
Bode Thomas street in Surulere Lagos, note the man who cut short his life
due to arrogance and naughtiness.
