In the past one month, 4 former international football players, a former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association and a fine sports journalist have all passed on.
It has been a very painful period for those of us in the football fraternity, a reminder of the fragility of life and of our mortality. 
When a number of journalists called me a few days ago to pay tribute to Yisa Sofoluwe, I turned it down simply because it felt like I was almost sounding like a broken record. Never has there been a period such as this – 4 colleagues in a month? May the Creator of the Universe, who sees and knows all, who knows the why and the how, intervene in the uncertainties of our present times.
