Ace broadcaster and Nnkan Nbe producer/presenter, Kolawole Olawuyi, who died after a brief illness on the 2nd of March 2007, was buried amidst tears on Friday March 16th at the Victoria Court Cemetary, Ajah, Lagos. The funeral service was held at the Redeemed Christian Churchof God, Resurrection Parish, Lekki.
Kolawole was just 44 years old when he died.
There are some people who you just can't imagine dying or dead, Kolawole was one of such people for me. He had this larger than life image that made him seem untouchable. How many of you are conversant with his controversial yoruba TV programme Nnkan Nbe? He was using this programme to expose evil doers, diabolical people, fake men of God, liars, murderers, you name it. Anything evil, mysterious and strange was shown on his programme. A few times he told his viewers that he was getting threats from people he exposed but knew God was bigger than anything and anyone else.
Member's of his family have insisted that his death was natural and not what rumours have been carrying about him being struck down at his prime by people bitter about his interferance in their lives. I believe his family. No other human has the power to take another's life. Won po to.
He was a visionary, hardworking, dedicated and passionate about life, his work and other people's plight. He was a great man.
Kolawole is survived by his aged parents, wife and four kids.
May his oul rest in perfect peace.
