LATE P.N.B DANIA, A QUINTESSENTIAL EDUCATIONIST
Am still trying to find the right words to convey how I feel about your demise. Daddy was so dedicated to his duties as a father and a teacher.
Years may have rolled by, but you will forever remain indelible in our hearts.
I remembered my first day at Mayfair, the school you tenaciously built from the scratch, I wasn't really happy leaving home for a boarding school, but daddy was very supportive and I promptly settled. I haven't seen a teacher who is as committed as you were, and I do not think I can find another as diligent and dutiful as you.
Its pertinent to note that, for everyday that I spent under your guidance and tutelage, you instilled in all of us, the essence of time, the need to be clean and ensure our environments are tidy and the need to push, to be better than we were the previous day.
For six years, even at old age, you will wake us up by 4 am, ensure we are present for your 7am class, and no matter how large the population in class was, you will still know when one of us knowingly or unknowingly escape your class. Several years after, i haven't seen a teacher who taught the English Language, better than you.

Late P.N.B Dania |
I do not want to write a long epistle, but am not going to skip facts in my personal desire to be stingy with words. Daddy, we know, a day will come where you will have to depart. Your children and pupils prayed fervently for it not to happen, but, alas, who are we to question the hand of God. We miss you so much, we miss your fatherly love, advice and care, like the biblical prodigal son, when ever we committed heinous crimes and spite you, you still forgave us and drew us closer.
The universe has lost a rare gem.
In death, it incumbent on us, as your mentees and benefactors to continue to uphold the values and maintain the legacy you left behind. Though it may be difficult, but will ensure that we support every cause that is meant to preserve all your ethos. In furtherance of this, Our support for the PNB Dania Foundation will forever be unwavering.
Continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord. Ameen.
