When we saw a few years ago in the atrium of Transcorp Hotel in Abuja and you gifted me a book “ The Price of Inequality” by Joseph Stiglitz, how would I have known it would be the fnal time we’d see and talk face to face?

We did exchange a message or two when your health challenges took a turn for the worse.

Today I write in your honour as you exited on March 15, the Ides of March, like a true warrior.
Fare thee well Malabite and like all graduates of the University of Calabar are known to echo when so called,
I can hear you say Aksion!

May your soul and the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Bye Prince Emeka Obasi
