A mortal blow has been dealt Idaere Ogan, fondly called Ambassador, as his son, Toku Ogan, has died. He was 25. Though the actual cause of the death of the dark-hued boy is yet sketchy, but we heard he allegedly committed suicide right inside his house in Lekki, Lagos, yesterday. He was gangling, gregarious and had a good head on his shoulders; every parent’s pride and hope for grey days. In fact, he was already being groomed by his father.The deceased effortlessly combined the wisdom of old age with exuberance of youth thus manifesting as an inspiring bridge between, young and old, past and present. While alive, the past throbbed through him in a mighty rhythm and the future pounded the drums of eternity to which he swayed as the tides and seasons swayed.
Pity he had to depart the world so soon. His unfortunate demise threw his family and friends in a state of despair because the deceased touched so many lives at so many different levels. Those who know him described him as a very down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, idealist who inspired others even while hope seemed a futile venture. It is however, the family’s ultimate wish to forever elongate and treasure memories of the joyous days and priceless moments they spent with Toku.
