Obadiah Mailafia - A Beacon From The Order of Melchizedek Took The Morning Chariot Home. Farewell My Teacher, Priest and World Renowned Polymath.
I am still in shock but I recall all you told me on that bright morning in August 1997 as we sat at Oriel College, reminiscing. I don't know what to say yet, but the words of Paul to the Ephesians rings in my ears. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
You were the smartest, most intelligent and most brilliant person I have ever met. You were polite to a fault, extremely respectful and kind. That mighty brain lay dead now. What will not die is your contribution to knowledge, to humanity, to the emancipation of your people. Rest, rest, rest!
Bamidele Ademola-Olateju
