    Surprising how ignorant people can be. Even those of us who have been out of Nigeria for years, still remember the fact that Chief Molade Okoya Thomas n Chief Rasak Okoya-Thomas are not related. Also Shade is Chief Rasak's spouse. Chief Molade was a well known hard-working individual, who was also a respected philantropist. May his generous soul RIPP, and may God give his family the fortitude to bear his loss, amen. I am sad to hear this, as he was a good man and people like him should live for much longer.
