It was a surprise to everyone when Katanga stormed the funeral grounds. The program was halted and all eyes were on Fellows till one knight came pointing his knife in all directions for us to relax. We still gave respect and the program resumed. The V.C came to speak to us as well. But not withstanding all of these, the 'main dish' was yet to be served.
It was on Saturday, August 16, 2014, that a legend was covered with dust after being put in a coffin but not to sleep for the legend lives on. Amidst the dignitaries present were the president of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, former president, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, the Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Prof. William Otoo Ellis, the DCOP Kofi Boakye, and other state men. It was a well attended occasion with many people pouring in from the town to pay their last respect.
The Ghanaian mechanical engineer, politician and chairman of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) council died on May 17 at the Lekma Hospital after he collapsed at a Filling Station on the Spintex Road.
In the reading of his autobiography, it was stated to the hearing of all and sundry that he was a staunch Katangese. A truth that made him different from all others.
And so it happened that there were other jama groups like the Kotoko group, and some others. But when the bombardier gave his shot, all attention came to the fellows who after taking some kenkey were ready for action. It was a nonstop action and all eyes were on eyes from beginning to end. Soldiers came to join in, in this epic drama and entertainment.
Irrespective of our number, the impact was incredible, and has body was wheeled passed us we saluted to give the deserved respect.
At long last the long awaited funeral wall attended and represented by fellows. If living was just about breathing in and out, then the wind is the perfect thing alive. No fellow dies, because once a fellow, always a fellow. For the legend lives on.
Indeed, being a fellow is not just about the black and yellow
or shouting charge after people say fellow
Its sticking to the principles of Katangeism which no one else can borrow
a truth that shall remain even till the last tomorrow
