Louis Odion's exit shocked me
By Nnanna Udeh, Aba.
Sunday, February 10, 2008

Louis, the shock that ran through my entire system last week when I saw your send-forth pictures in Sunday Sun could only be compared with what happened to me when Ghanaian national team scored their second goal that handed them victory at the 85 minutes of their encounter with our own Super Eagles.

Like a star, you came, you saw, and you shone, leaving an indelible mark. The attainment of Sunday Sun today bears eloquent testimony of your hard-work and excellent dedication to duty.
As your convert and ardent fan since the day I read your piece on "OBJ on Adedibu: A critique", published on October 28, 2007, I consider you as genius of all time Journalism, a ‘Solutionist,’ and never failed to follow your column afterward.

Sincerely, Nigerians and my very self in particular will miss your unadulterated, incisive analysis on both national and international issues that matter most.
Believe me, Dubya’s tour will not be missed in Nigeria as much as Nigerians will miss your column in Sunday Sun.

When I consider your immense contribution towards the development of our fatherland, my humble submission remains that you have meaningfully touched the lives of millions of Nigerians in your 5 years as Sunday Sun editor and a distinguished columnist far more than the man, OBJ, as the president of the Federation in eight years.

May the Almighty continue to guide, keep and strengthen you in all your endeavours as you continue to render the best of your service to humanity.
Love you!
