Combining bloodlines to give birth to a child, you neglected by one, you'll definitely be welcome by the other, so I don't see it coming, turning to ODUEKES' family at this point in time when they assume holistic oblivion of me still.
He's a bastard, me? Nah! This is a question of 6, giving a vertical look at both ends, a confusion of 6 or 9 comes in.
In the context of human society, Wikipedia define family thus: A family is a group of people affliated by either consanguinity (by recognized birth) , affinity(by marriage or any other relationship like siblings, families, etc) or co-residence (as imply by the etymology of English word "family") or some combination of these. Members of the immediate family includes spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, sons and/or daughters. Members of the extended family my include grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and or siblings-in-law. Sometimes these are also considered member of the immediate family depending on an individual specific relationship..................................
Odueke Abiodun, S. Died on 6th March, 2005. A good man, he use to be a great father and had never at any point hesitated helping a family when he had the capacity to and not just only his family, an Ijebu man he is. I lost him when I needed him the most, my father!! A good man. I don't know too well if his hometown, my home town, I claim my mother's anyway, you're not in my shoes and you've not seen life from my end , so pls.
He can definitely be trace to his household by going by Ipari-nla, Tonké or Odo-calaba, he's from one of those, not so sure of the local government area. His people know him to be very generous, he died when I was about getting to know him the most, I was just 14years of age. Imagine a life without a father at such a tender age and when your mum happens to be a full-time wife couple with I don't care family on your father end. This is not actually applicable to the whole of Odueke's family but a sectional part of it for I don't know them all, every generalization is a fallacy, I don't wanna sound that way. I know myself to be of good character, and am from the bloodline, and I believe there are many of me in that family. No man would leave this world until his time is reached, his death was a mystery circumnavigating in the realm of something inexplicable. Believe me, the Ijebu are good people, pls don't get me wrong. For you , a family, to have come across this written then you must be an academic and I think am secure.
(Video, Oriki Ijebu). I hope it's viewable.
His property was sold, divided into two and a share was given to my mum. I see no reason why they can't make the property his legacy. What about his friends? Did he built a strong friendship on a sincere foundation? Was he just a leverage to the needs of his friends during his time? With the help of GOD, I'll do everything in my power to avoid such.
Going back in time, I found out that my grandfather died when my father was 4yrs of age and my father died while I am 14years of age. With the help of GOD, I'll die when my grandchild is 24years of age and by my calculations, I should be 79yrs by then.
I have no opportunity to know my grandfather neither do I know more about my father, all things being perfect, I must know my grandchild and he must in return.
The final bidding or parting given to him was very poor, as a pastor in the Redeem Christian Church Of God, his family failed him so as his church. Alihamdulillah am a Muslim, for we're alone and will account for our deed alone in this world in the hereafter.
Imagine a family member telling me this on the day of his burial " now your dad is dead, if you wish, make the coming to your hometown a taboo" he actually made a beautiful statement without regards to struggle and challenges of life. Of course my father's origin is mine to claim but while growing up with the huddle of life, not even a verbal comfort from any of them.
Odueke's family!! You failed Odueke Abiodun,S. Children and you failed him as well. I understand the general mentality of people's perspective of orphans, responsibilities! Nah! Even for my legitimate offspring its a struggle, that's the thinking.
No one wants to loose any of his parents, and if any of them dies, it's not the children's doing, so pls if you know any orphans pls render any help you have in your capacity to make a life for them, for life without any of the parents can be very difficult.
"Am not bound to win but am bound to be true, am not bound to succeed but am bound to live by the light that I have........ Abraham Lincoln's quote.
So I believe the future is bright with or without any family leverage.
