…The Mighty are Fallen – Shakespeare
Dark night and no Voice could be heard
Few minutes of silent becomes longer hours
Mouth produced sound – a Cry
An eclipse of dark moment
Birds stop singing in the air
Sober and gazing in their nest
Flower withered at pass golden age
Moment of roll call from heaven
Sad, Hon. Onyem was called
No time to say goodbye
Flows the river of tears
Memories of services to communities and humanity
Left without reading scrolls of your tributes
Gone is a voice of former student leader
Gone is a voice of renowned MC
Gone is a voice of Okun front line journalist
Gone is a thorough community man
Uncle Onyem, many years of your life was full of community services. An image builder of Ikoyi Ijumu who mentioned his community at every opportunity.
Please, look back and see that you were greater than you had thought.
Ikoyi-Ijumu has lost a patriot
Good night Boda Onyem!
– Ayorinde Fajimokun
