Gone Too Soon: A Tribute To The Oracle, Wole Sodipe by Aziza Uko

It is difficult to
match the state of being dead with a towering personality like, Wole Sodipe,
one of the founding vice presidents of Platinum Bank, the man we affectionately
call The Oracle.

At about 3.05am on
November 25, I was working in my study when I received an email from Emmanuel
Amatokwu on the news of Wole’s demise after battling an illness, which was
later, revealed to be cancer. This detail made the painful news harder to bear.
Last year, I lost a dear brother to cancer, after a courageous 7-year battle
with the ailment.
