Odumakin: Too cruel a sting
On
By Sola Lawal
This is one death too many, Yinka. How fate played a rude one on us! You left at 55. You left behind Pa Ezekiel Abioye Odumakin, your father who turned 115 at his last birthday. Your mother, Alice Ojuolape, 92, is mourning a gem of a child.
Alice couldn’t stop asking why death didn’t take her and leave you here. Ezekiel couldn’t stop wishing this bad dream to end. ” Please shake me up from this bad dream”, Pa Ezekiel begged visiting Afenifere team.
We were in Moro, the rustic, forgotten, rural community in the fringes of the ancient Ile Ife that donated you to our struggle.
