The death of Edo State-born business mogul and Chairman of Ocean Marine Solution (OMS) Limited, Chairman Wells Entertainment Ltd and Feva TV Canada, Captain Hosa Okunbor at age 63, shocked the nation.
The death of the loveable philanthropist who died of pancreatic cancer in London few days ago is still fresh in our hearts, most especially in the heart of one of his closest business allies and partner, Ambassador Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, a notable Nollywood Director and African’s most consistent movie maker.
Ambassador Imasuen who was putting finishing touches to his latest multimillion blockbuster movie ‘Gbege’ when the news of Captain Hosa Okubor’s death broke out, is the Chief Executive Office, CEO of Wells Entertainment Ltd and the Executive Director of Feva TV, Canada, the two companies that late Captain Hosa Okubor was the Chairman.
In his devasted state of mind, Lancelot Imasuen decided to write an ‘epic letter to mourn the demise of this one of the greatest philanthropist to have lived.’
During a chat with me today, Imasuen who has been devasted and heartbroken since the news filtered in to the country from London said; “He is one of the greatest earthly loss to me personally, but i remain grateful to God for a great life of impact he lived and the so many life’s he touched. For two weeks I have been so broken, devastated and dumb over his demise.”
See the unedited epic he wrote to mourn late Captain Hosa Okubor;
There was a duel between the heavens and the earth
Both in dire need of a certain captain of Souls
Men held on while the pearly gates were opened
Both sides wanted him whole
Men in their numbers pleaded and wished there was a price they could pay
The host of angels insisted that the earth was no longer a place he could stay
The negotiations continued
One side had to win the prize
A higher authority made a tough call in the middle of the banter and cries
The alarm bells had been rung
The flight engines came alive
And up up he went
Away from all troubles and strife
To a place of eternal life and peace
The heavens had won
And only left behind a lifeless piece
The bell rang so loudly
People became deaf with grief
Without warning and without consent
Death came like a thief
The bells rang so loudly
Known aurators became dumb
Shockwaves were sent down their spines
Their hearts became numb
The steppers who depended on the rhythm of his heart beat
Suddenly lost the urge to dance
Loved once prayed for his eyes to pop open
Perhaps he was caught in a trance
But he wasn’t…
A dark cloud covered the earth
Holding potential for an out pour of a hundred years
But in this case it wasn’t water
The earth itself let down tears
Washing away the hopes of ever seeing him again
There was a duel between the heavens and the earth
The heavens had won..Alas Captain Hosa Wells Okunbo is taken by the Heavens…
Ambassador Imasuen also added that; “As a direct beneficiary of his magnanimity I remain eternally grateful to him even in death and pray God for his children, immediate family members for God guidance and protections.”
