A TRIBUTE TO A SAINTLY MAN

There is a Latin saying, “Vox populi, Vox Dei”: The voice of the people is the
voice of God. The Saints themselves among other things are canonised based on
the testimonies of the people. There is something very special about someone
whom people in close contact with invariably admire and eulogise. My good
friend, Chief Olumide Ogedengbe. is the man. May the good and compassionate God
hear our prayers and tributes and grant Olumide eternal rest in His Heavenly
Kingdom.
We had only known for three and a half years as next-door neighbours but we
spent more time together than friends would spend in a decade.
We are about the same age and when I would be comfortable on first name basis he
would call me Sir. I usually reciprocated with Sir or Chief. We shared the old
with nostalgia and the new with rejuvenation. Olumide, soft spoken, was as
humble as a dove but as wise as Solomon. In Our conversations, he would explain
some Yoruba words to me and I would explain some Igbo proverbs when I used them
as explatory aphorisms. More often than not he would give me the Yoruba
equivalent.
He was charitable. He not only gave but also would acquaint you with every
opportunity that would benefit you. Whenever he travelled workers in the close
neighbourhood would know that Daddy, Father Christmas, had come back.
A happy retired corporate guru, Olumide enjoyed his retirement peacefully. His
beloved wife, Bomi, as busy as a medical Professor would be, still took delight
in personally preparing his favourite dishes notwithstanding they have a retinue
of domestic staff. He cherished the care and company of his children and
grandchildren who occasionally came, sometimes on surprise visits, from
overseas. He liked riding his bicycle for exercise and pruning the hedges.
Occasionally, when I came out and we started conversing over the fence, that’s
it for that day.
Chief Olumide was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Estate’s Residents
Association where he brought his wealth of experience to bear. Though he had
choice cars in his garage, he would ride to the Residents Association meeting on
his bike. At other times he would walk to the meeting on foot with Bomi. I
suppose the togetherness reminded them of their courting days.
On Sundays, Chief would not miss going all the way from Lekki to Ikeja to
worship and meet old friends. He had an equilibrium in his life style. He was
the type of Christian we are admonished to be – Be the Bible other people read.
Nobody wants to lose a friend like that. I mourn my friend, Olumide, with a
broken heart but the word of God says we should not mourn as we have no hope.
There is life eternal on the other side of the bridge. Olumide has been called
to glory. I pray God to give his beloved wife, Bomi, his children and family the
fortitude to bear the loss. May the earthly loss be Heavenly gain in Jesus name.
Sleep well, Dear Olumide, Chief.
