Tribute to Medical Doctor killed by Boko Haram

DR BOBOLA KOLAWOLE

              

 You have made the ultimate sacrifice.

You were brutally murdered serving Nigeria.

 I have many whys

Why this tragedy?

Why did you join the Nigeria Police Force after the very many  years you labored to become a doctor?

Why did they post you to Maiduguri?

Why did the Boko Haram terrorists not spare  you?

Why do we live in a nation that the sanctity of life is losing  meaning?

Silence.  Painful silence

I remember your determination.

You refused to be denied. A  physician you wanted to be. A  physician you became.

I remember your smiles

You lit up conversations. You were a blessing to  many

I remember your humility

Big in frame but gentle in interaction

Thank you for your service

No where was too far. No time was too awkward. You were our able  OTIC pilot.

Patiently and joyfully, you taught me to drive. You were there to  encourage and share with me the joy of “hanging” a car.

Big Bobby

I will miss you

We will meet at the Master’s feet

Death where is thy sting

Grave where is thy victory

He lives
