Femi Ojo's Premise

Pictures courtesy of Operation Hernia and Innovation Africa and Google This week on my blog, I am not going to talk about governance or any contemporary political related issues in our polity. I am not going to write or rant about any of the latest sack of some hitherto political associates of Mr. Jonathan that he recently shown the way out and expectedly many of such people will still be booted out before President Jonathan finally goes home to Otuoke from Aso Rock. But I am going to pay tribute to the termination of mortality of one of the Nigeria’s best rural surgeons in person of late Dr. Oluyombo Awojobi.
