Death is inevitable; it is one price we all have to pay. But death comes in different ways, just as nature treats us differently.
When somebody above 70 years dies in this part of the world it is believed the person has tried but elsewhere abroad, 70 is even too young due to the life expectancy of the country. Oladotun Samson Oladipo took a bow from the planet earth on August 25, 2026.
I have known Dotun for over 40 years; he was exceptionally selfless and upright; a true journalism professional to the core.
How do I explain it when we both co-presented a TV programme; Sports Update, on Monday in his office; Eagle Online, and we also spoke on Tuesday morning before he died later in the day? I was completely shattered and devastated when the news of his death got to me. When you say ‘how are you’ to Dotun, his reply will always be ‘Adupe lowo thank God.’
