Etiquette is a word seldomly used. The spelling is uncommon just as its pronunciation. The usage is reserved for admonition to remind anyone on the need for proper conduct, particularly as it affects others. This is bearing in mind that what is normal to you may be a misnomer to your next door neighbour.
The Alara of Aramoko Ekiti, HRM Oba (Dr) Adegoke Olu Adeyemi, mni, JP, Arugbajoye II, has joined his ancestors to signify the end of an era. He died at 82. That was my King. He was the symbol of my cradle and the custodian of my cultural heritage.
The finality that comes with death and the reality of the permanent absence of the deceased makes death an unequalled event that reminds man that only God is wise. The wisdom of man is subject to the life in him, which only God gives. God gave and God took. Goodnight, my brother.
