“What Ibidun Ighodalo could not tell Ituah she will tell me first…” Ighodalo’s elder brother spills

Asue Ighodalo, a brother to Ituah Ighodalo, a senior pastor of Trinity House Church in Lagos, has revealed how close he was to Ibidun, the latter’s late wife.

Ibidun’ s death shocked Asue Ighodalo to the bone marrow and for someone who also shares the same birthday date with him, it was a bad one as he will virtually remember Ibidun anytime he celebrates his birthdays.

He supported his only brother, Ituah throughout the trying period, and also made the vote of thanks during Ibidun’s burial where he revealed their closeness as his only brother, how they were brought up and how they will forever cherish Ibidun.

In his words at the funeral, he said:

“Brusta, I call Ituah, Brusta up till now, his church people have tried to dissuade me but it is difficult, it is something we shared for 40 to 50 years so I am so used to it.

I share a deep relationship with Ituah and his wife. Ituah called me about 6.30 am that fateful morning to tell me about his wife’s death. I did not get myself because I call Ibidun my twin but to cut the story short, when I caught up with Ituah that day, I could not believe his strength, I was just watching him.

I begin to wonder what kind of man is my brother. Ibidun is my twin. We were born on the same day but different generations. She is my friend, my daughter, my wife. What she could not tell Ituah she will tell me first then we work it out with Ituah. From that Sunday morning, I drew strength from Ituah, Ituah was the one that gave Ibidun’s mum strength.

Then same morning, Ituah said he had to conduct a funeral, he was the one that consoled all the brothers and sisters of the young man that died, when people could not even believe whether it was same morning the incident happened or not, I was just watching him and I drew strength from this.

Brusta, you are the real guy, God almighty will always be with you. Thank you for being Ibidun’s husband. We were brought up to let our spouses fly so thank you for letting Ibidun fly”.

ISRO shortlists 15 firms for transfer of EV battery tech

ISRO shortlists 15 firms for transfer of EV battery tech This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. Isro has shortlisted 15 firms to transfer the manufacturing technology of lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries for electric vehicles (EV). This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. “We have communicated to the shortlisted firms that they will have to give a one-time fee of `1 crore. We have avoided firms with exposure to foreign equity in identifying the qualifying industrial houses or start-ups,” S Somanath, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the rocket sciences node of ISRO, told FE. “The final move will depend on their response,” he said, declining to name the firms. As many as 141 companies had applied for request for qualifications (RFQs) in connection with the technology transfer. It was a small battery of 12 scientists in VSSC in Thiruvananth...

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
