Lawyer Honors Kola Oni Foto: “He Was Passionate and Loyal”
He wrote
“A few years ago, Kola and I got into it on Facebook. We exchanged words and threats were made. Months after that, I visited Osas in his house and met Kola.We talked and hashed out our issues. He apologized and told me he was trying to do things differently on social media. He told me about his military background and how that shaped his world view.
We would go on to become cordial. My flight to Lagos for Victor’s wedding was delayed till almost midnight but I wasn’t scared because Kola was at the airport waiting for me. We eventually got to my hotel around 1am or so and Kola left without charging me a fee.I would visit Lagos a few times after that and he would send a driver to pick me up.
When he got into activism, he would call to seek my opinion. I even made a post a few weeks ago cautioning him to be more careful in trying to help folks.Kola was a decent man. He worked hard, took care whatever life threw at him like a champ.
Kola was a good son who looked after his family.He got into it with a few people online because that is who he was. A passionate man.
This is a devastating loss to his family and his friends.
