ReplyDeleteI know lawyers have a very high level of imagination.
I wonder what he imagines when trying to paint a scenario.
God is indeed wonderful.
He works in mysterious ways we can never understand.
Wat imagination n scenario? Must u always open ur smelly gut to spin rubbish? Idiot!

Yes, he is for real. I schooled at Lancaster University and was blessed to have met Dr Ife or Dr. Love as he is fondly called by Nigerians there. This guy is truly a blessing to Nigerians in the UK. He deserves this and much more. He is indeed a role model

ReplyDeletenot have finished but he was a law student there
Which correction do you want her to make?? Please read again... she said he was the first blind student In Unilag, unless Cobham is older than the guy?
DeleteDr Ifeolu Akintunde was my classmate at King"s College Lagos from 1978 till 1983. An exceptional and brilliant student. Ifeolu was also an extremely neat and tidy student, winning the neatest boy award a couple of times. he is of cheerful disposition, in our innocent world he always wore a smile. I have not set eyes on him in over 30 years but through the old boy network i know he is doing well. SDK thanks for highlighting this gentleman
ReplyDeleteDis is awesome!
ReplyDeletePlease let's all vote, don't just watch and make stupid comments here. Grace Abuja babe
ReplyDeleteSo touching. Thanks 4 this story. U don't know the impact it has on me now. In the mist of adversity.........
ReplyDeleteif this chap was in Nigeria he will be begging or would have become a source of irritation to family members.
ReplyDeleteDon't make stupid comments if you do not have anything to say. Even if he was not disabled and did not have the hunger to make something of himself, he would still be an irritant to his family and be begging. Is Cobhams Asuquo not in Nigeria? Anyway, whatever makes you happy. We had a blind girl in my secondary school (boarding and doing all the things all boarders do) and she went on to make something of her life. Unfortunately, I have lost touch with her.
