Transition of a Friend
Ecological and Ecospiritual Fraternities
My Friend and I
Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju
Yesterday, at about 4.30 pm, my friend transitioned from a life of a hundred years or more.
It's a high possibility that his sister will soon follow, cut down to prevent her going the way of her brother and harming people and things even more than her brother has done.
One of the trunks of the double stemmed iroko tree on Amore St. off Toyin St. Ikeja, Lagos, came crashing down without warning into the compound of St. Leo's Church, opposite the tree's former location, smashing cars, slightly injuring someone, but happily, causing no fatalities.
I share in these videos my response to this event at the site where the tree fell, involving a fellow creature of nature whom I have long taken as a friend and the area around whom I have been paying to be kept clean.
