[color=#770077][/color]Bode Thomas whom street was named after
@Surulere, died on Nov 23,
1953 in a most mysterious manner. Bode
Thomas was born to a wealthy
trader, John thomas in 1918. Himself, FRA
Williams and Remi Fani-Kayode (Father of
Femi Fani-Kayode)
attended Law School in London, and jointly
established the first law firm
in Nigeria called "Thomas, Williams &
Kayode". The law firm was
established in Jankara Lagos. Bode Thomas
was an excellent lawyer, but
also very arrogant. Because of
his education, he was made chairman of the
Oyo Divisional Council at one time while
Alaafin Adeyemi of Oyo (father of the
current Alaafin) was a
mere member! On Bode Thomas' first
appearance in council after being
appointed chairman, all council members
stood up for him in deference, to
welcome him, except Oba Adeyemi, who,
for cultural reasons, should not
show deference to anyone in public, not
even his mother! Bode Thomas
rudely shouted at the King "...WHY WERE
YOU SITTING WHEN I WALKED IN? YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHOW RESPECT?"
Then, Bode Thomas was 34 years while
Alaafin was in his 60s. The Alaafin
felt very insulted and said "SE EMI LO NGBO
MO BAUN?" (Is it me you are
barking at like that?) Bode Thomas
responded by shouting in vocabularies
which Alaafin didn't understand, so Alaafin
just told him... "MA GBO
LO" (continue barking). This was on
November 22, 1953. Bode Thomas
got home and started barking! He barked,
barked and continued barking like dog all
night until he died in the early morning of
November 23,
1953. Bode Thomas was the Balogun of
Oyo. So, when next you drive on
Bode Thomas street in Surulere Lagos, note
the man who cut short his life
due to arrogance and naughtiness. May this
not be our portion, Amen! Fayose beware
you may end up like Bode Thomas. Pls!!!
