THE EXIT OF A GREAT ICON!
The hero of our time has gone.
The sage has taken his bow.
A hater of insincerity,
A lover of peace,
A visionary leader,
A renowned educationist,
A brave and fearless Principal.
The teacher of teachers,
The Principal of principals,
The tutor of head teachers,
An elder in the council of Christians,
A friend of all who have good intentions.
A man decorated with numerous medals,
A wise counselor,
A great mentor,
A helping hand to the needy,
A prudent spender,
A resourceful manager,
A gallant economist,
A soldier without uniform.
A pillar in the educational system,
A firm disciplinarian,
A man of strong moral values,
A man of unquestionable reputation,
A man of integrity.
An illustrious farmer,
A father of aspirational children,
A blunt and factual speaker,
A resistor of evil,
A great peopleâs warden of the Cathedral.
It is difficultâalmost impossibleâto erase the memory of
Pa. Elisha Adelani Ige AtĂșnwĂštĂČ (JP) (A.K.A. Baba J.J.) from our hearts and minds.
Our hero has truly gone.
Your departure leaves a deep void in the hearts of all who value truth, discipline, and integrity.
Your life was a testament to purpose, service, and unwavering commitment to humanity and the Church.
Indeed, the world remains a mystery.
But one thing is certainâ
Your family, friends, the Church, and the entire community will never forget you.
The Principals will not forget you.
The teachers will not forget you.
The lives you touched will never forget you.
You came, you saw, and you conquered with honor.
Sleep on, our noble and beloved Baba J.J.
Rest from your labours, for your works continue to speak.
REST IN PEACE, BĂBĂ ĂGĂ! đïž
