Ace broadcaster and cultural icon, Ambassador Olusegun Olusola goes home today as eminent Nigerians paid him last respects at his country home, Iperu, Ogun state.

It was indeed a celebration of life for the late icon as dignitaries who included the state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, members of the diplomatic corps, artistes,  playwrights  among others graced the event and showered encomiums on the creator of the television soap opera ‘The village headmaster’.

The bishop of Methodist cathedral, Diocese of Remo central, Bishop Gboyega  Ohu, during the funeral service lamented both moral decadence and poor leadership in the country.

According to him, the country might not know peace, progress and security until the political class heed to the wishes of the poor masses and improve their lots.

“Mandela had millions of opportunities to enrich himself while in office but did not do so in the interest of the masses but Nigerian leaders only have interest in what they could scooped from the ‘Nigerian Goldmine’ he added.

Ohu however urged Nigerians to learn from the life of former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.
