    We were in high school together. He was extremely brilliant on the soccer pitch as a footballer way back then. He was in the schools first eleven and was one of the best.

    We were colleagues in High School too and from the same locality. Gbenga has been consistently Brilliant, I recall how he used to teach us English, notwithstanding his physical challenge, which really never stopped him. I'm so proud of his progress and achievements, he's really an inspiration to all. Kudos to you, Bunmi.
