Francis and I, started our career about the same time at Probitas Partners. He was such a brilliant advocate and selfless leader. He would intelligently articulate his legal argument. We shared our early struggles in the legal profession, and shared the firm believe that there was light at the end of the tunnel. We worked late nights on several cases and supported each other with authorities on different matters. Remembering how we used to send Mrs Ekundayo to buy us the legendary "bread" and "ewa agoyin" with 50cl bottle of coca cola at Alagomeji. Francis would mobilise support for our football games, he was our greatest fan. Tough to admit that you are no longer with us (still in absolute denial). I will continue to cherish the great memories of the amazing life you lived, making people happy and selflessly supporting everyone around you. Francis will literally leave his work to help others, letting his own work to suffer and understanding that he may need to stay late, after close of work to finish his work. May your soul rest in peace, my bro.
