Fair-Thee-Well Tajudeen

It's the harshness of life in this world, it's unfair, it's incredible and defies any logic that whatever philosopher or scientist wants to put across. This morning in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, the iconic Pan-Africanist protagonist, Nigerian born globe-trotter, Dr. Tajudeen Abdul Raheem is no more. He is off to face his Creator. He crushed to death in a car accident.

Taju had no regard for African dictators and minced no words in disparaging all those who have made Africa a quintessence of brutality. He had no apologies. He spent most of his time traversing the continent in search of consensus and solutions to Africa's intractable problems. Now he is no more. It's a massive loss, it's a big blow. Safe journey dear comrade Taju
