NgeneUkwenu:Jingo usually wore same shirt and one baggy trouser and sandals. He derives pleasures in using his salary to sponsor students while going home on empty pockets. He lived for the masses. Such men only come by once in a century. Guess we are lucky to have drank from their fountain of knowledge. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

Prof. N. U. Ndebbio has been buried. I remember the days of Eskor Toyo, Ndebbio, Bassey, C.K. Graham, Ma Obafemi et al. I remember Eskor always referring to Ndebbio as a conformist and the whole class would laugh. Eskor treks most times from the staff quarters to the classroom, and when you pull over to pick him up, he would ask you to pick the student for him while he prefers to walk. 13 Likes 1 Share |
