Tribute to an Insatiable Traveler(Okerinde Ayobami)






Where do I start from, where.....?
It's difficult to pen few words for you my friend, perhaps that's an understatement, a brother, for family isn't by blood alone....
I do not like repeating words, especially when it's a family celebrating something once in so many days, anyway, let us raise a glass for the son of magic waters.





At one time I had narrated how and where our routes crossed path, for we just like country boys, that passion had brought us together whether by mistake, nor by purpose, or even by MISTAKEPURPO....now that's my word am only waiting for licence to add it, that is OKERINDEs' marvelous product, with him, you will always have newer words in your tank, let us still not forget, it's a new year for the Abelejayan narrator.....





Should there be a time when we son of the bold ones come in black companionship, I probably would be the first of the strong ones to remind us of how fulfilling your time here simply is going, however though it hasn't end, whether you did live to the end and also fulfilling your potentials, is what the world is yet to see, but I can tell you,  et semper sursum illic inter astra





Today you are plus one, none could ever be truer than you, should you look back and find none on your route to glory, even if am not there, grumble not, for I am only an human, be your motivation, live your life to a crescendo, wear a smile amidst the trouble times soon to come, drink to the days of joy, stay silent to the moments of challenge, and never ever forget to be forever young...cheers one more time to the wizard in Adunni's joyful life.





If I decided to branch some few times behind, then this tribute might look like celebrating one yet to finish all that he was made for, but let me quickly chip in this secret, he's one heck of a blue fan, a die hard one, and what a gift his team seems to have given him, when on the soccer field they had stunned a rich sky blue team yester-night.. Ayobami has uploaded his status, "A perfect birthday gift" that was when I recall, oh, today's the son of magic words Birthday, colliding with one great a man  too, the legendary Paolo Maldini.....should I have a ticket to somewhere for you, you be dining at the tables of men with Maldini today, but let me keep my imaginary tickets, there's something call CORONA, keeping us all indoor brother, one more time, cheers to a stardust...





So when I say you will always be among the stars, it's for the joy of everyone, it's for the beauty of us all, how can I forget our times in the windy plains of LASUSOC, I was a foreigner, but you made my sojourn a particular one I did always pick as my favorite travails, yes TRAVAILS...I don't know if I should tell the world about our tines on Triggers, that platform still need your assistance brother, would you scold me also, if I tell them following your tracks bumper to bumper as the past President of Association of Campus Journalist, has also led me to where I am, brother you should know by now that some people just become your mentee, without even asking for your permission, here is a secret, you are lie of mine....(Please don't loud it)





Words won't be enough to tell them about you, but it's your day after all, should you be ask those who lived during your times let them know you loved during the times of Rabiu Afeez, tamer of writers, let them know you lived during the times of Muiz Akanni, man with words of heavy meaning, let them know you lived during the times of Ileyemi, some Beauty with Guts, let them know you lived during the times of Solace, the last born of the crew, though the war may come and go, but your soldiers remain eternal, ACJ-LASU wishes you well brother....





Cheers brothers, and remember
tempore adleviata non obliviscar tui..





For Okerinde Ayobami, A happy Plus one.
