I was not in a good mood since yesterday but I tried my best to put on more gentle smile because life is a big lesson to everyone and to most especially we still living. I lost my Dad 24/4/2009 ,not to any kind of diseases or ill health but to some unknown assassins which on that bloody day I would never forget all what happened.
Short Biography About My Late Dad.
Late Mr. Michael Olusegun Akinlotan was born on July 30,1950 into the family of Late Pa James Woye Ojeyemi Akinlotan and Late Madam Bibianah Asani Ibiyemi Akinlotan of Otan Ayegbaju, Boluwaduro Local Government of Osun state. Segun, as he is fondly called by friends and associates, took up the challenge of life at very tender age, as a result of the mysterious and sudden death of his energetic, disciplined and no-nonsense father in 1968 when he was just in Form Two at Saint Charles' Catholic Grammar School,Osogbo. This event was the genesis of his popular saying "Aiye ti pare".
His determination for success propelled him to the Institute of Agriculture and Training, Akure in 1972 where he earned the Certificate in Agriculture in 1974. The height of his quest for academic laurels was July 1981 when he graduated from the Nigerian's Premier University of Ibadan with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biochemistry and Nutrition. He was a Livestock officer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Minna, Niger state between 1981 and 1982 for his NYSC.
He taught in various schools, between the years 1982 and 1994 as a classroom teacher; between the years 1994 and 2000 as vice principal; and school principal since 2000 and 2009. The life of Segin is enviable. He marries his amiable wife, Mrs Comfort Omolara Akinlotan of the famous Adebayo family of ile-oluji, Onto State, twenty five years ago. The marriage was facilitated by the Yoruba adage "Iwa ni mu eniyan ri omo adugbo fe" ie. Only an impeccable character can endear you as a suitor in your neighborhood. The marriage is blessed by four boys; He was a dogged fighter of the vicissitudes of life. He chose teaching as a profession, agriculture as a vocation and his hobby was service to humanity which is the best work of charity.
