What are you waiting for?
You allow the likes of Garba (Ewu), sorry Shehu to deceive us with deceptive writeups when we have a new breed of Prof Wole Soyinka on this platform.
Good eulogy. This is a literal Ode of immense repute


Furbish:
Adieu papa!

Jakande's legacy still endure! In his time he gave us classrooms, he served us real food.

I remember in the early 80s while I was in pry 2 and 3. We had good teachers.

The syllabus was strictly adhered to. Education was so good.

Growing into adulthood, I later knew the Ajah road LCC recently upgraded was constructed by him.

The day I met you at the airport was a day I won't forget. Gentle and angelic. Our gaze met. I felt and immortal grace, and it left a mark. Thanks for giving us Lagos.

You already wrote your epitaph with celestial ink, on stones so precious.

Thank you Baba Kekere!

I was telling my Biological Father when he clocked 70 last year that he will still be alive after two decade and half...The old man said I believe you my son since you told me when I became 60yrs, that death shouldn't be feared as long as you have Christ Jesus...

Buhari is a certified criminal. A useless religious fanatic.
TimeManager:
The man died with the most effective Governance template on Education, Civil service, transportation, low housing estate.etc. Jakande birthed a railway project which Buhari foolishly cancelled based on his shallow mindedness. Many years after, Buhari is back to implement a railway project with accompanying debt burden payable by all Nigerians.

Adieu Baba Kekere

I wonder how come we voted the same buhari to power sad .

And now we're screaming the name of another criminal for 2023. What's happening to us.

Bro, I no follow vote in the current administration. This is the problem with Nigeria. They will gladly and proudly vote in inefficiencies in all levels of government and come online to rant and abuse the same people they voted in. The last time I voted was during Obasanjo first tenure.

No matter how they tried to cajole me into exercising my right to vote, if the candidates do not make sense, I no dey vote. It is not just about exercising my right to vote, it is about voting in the right person.

His enemies termed the classrooms "poultry" but hey, we were forged in those humble huts, our destinies were molded. Today, we are men and women of intellect and rare substances because of your discretion and milk of kindness.

Road constructed with Government money, not his personal money - Was he not supposed to construct the road?
He didn't create Lagos - hence he did not give us Lagos. Lagos State was created by General Gowon with on May 27, 1967
He wrote his name on the marble of betrayal by allowing himself to be used as a pawn to destroy the June 12 movement in the Abacha junta

Lest I forget, Jakande was a key member of the Awolowo AG tactical command trained in Ghana to cause political violence in western Nigeria

Hence he was convicted by the Balewa Government and sent to prison with Chief Awolowo in 1964

May his soul rest in peace and May Allah forgive his sins. Yes - he did some good projects but please do not beatify him here, He was no saint.

Thank you!
