HOPE OMOYELE SOWORE WILL LEARN FROM THIS STORY.

THE PRICE OF ARROGANCE!

Bode Thomas after whom the prominent Surulere street was named, 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 they established the first law firm in Nigeria, called "Thomas, Williams and Kayode".
The law firm was established in Jankara area of Lagos.
Bode Thomas was an excellent lawyer but was also very arrogant.
Because of his education, he was made the chairman of the Oyo Divisional Council at one time, while the King of Oyo, Alaafin Adeyemi, (the father of the current Alaafin) was a mere member.
On Bode Thomas' first appearance in council after being appointed the 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?" At that time, Bode Thomas was 34 years, while the Alaafin was in his 60's.
The Alaafin felt very insulted and asked him in Yoruba that "SE EMI LO NGBO MO BAUN?" (Is it me that you are barking at like that?)
Bode Thomas responded by shouting on the Oba in the English language which the Alaafin didn't understand, so the Alaafin just told him. "MA GBO LO"!(meaning continue barking).
The confrontation happened on November 22nd, 1953 and immediately Bode Thomas got home, he started barking.
He barked and barked and barked like a dog all night until he died in the early morning of November 23rd, 1953.
Bode Thomas was the Balogun of Oyo before his mysterious death.
BODE THOMAS cut his life short because of his arrogance and naughtiness, forgetting that pride goes before destruction.!
