*Today instead of mourning, I'm celebrating the passage of an outstanding community builder, rare specie of his generation, a father to all and indeed hardworking man. As a young boy growing, I was privileged to live under the direct tutelage of Pa Amoyedo, just like many others who were neither his biological children nor in anyway related to him, yet he raised us in the best moral standards and instilled in us character of discipline, hardwork and taught us with our core cultural values that have impacted greatly in our adulthood today, he was a disciplinarian, astute community leader, decent politician, truthful Businessman and a man with a large heart. I will miss his frankness, wise counsels, braveness and love for all* Omoluabi says.
