OBADIAH MALAIHA: SAD!!, SAD!!!, SAD !!!!

Kai, the news of this passing really pain me o. Now we get news real time online and once it hits you, you will be praying that it is fake news. The news will first filter through all these gutter blogs and then slowly more respectable platforms will be announcing it. Finally, ARISE TV will drop it and you will shout, ‘It has finished.’

That is how this one came and then it was confirmed. This man was fighting a different battle for truth. He was fearless and was the equivalent of that Chinese grocery shopper who happened on the Tiananmen Square in Beijing and saw a tanker rolling towards unarmed students and jumped in front. Wetin concern the man. That is the question I almost would have asked him if I had met him before he passed. From his background, he was an elitist bourgeois rising to become the enviable Deputy Governor of the CBN. He for just jejely keep quiet and be swigging whiskey with his colleagues and be enjoying the rest of his life.

But no, his passion for Nigeria and justice would not let him sleep at night. He started crying and wailing for Nigeria. Making statements that was making people fear for his safety. Did he care? No o. He just went on till he finally passed. One less hero in the struggle, but for him we will continue the fight. He would be remembered, mark my words.
