: Loyola,John kayode fayemi and kennedys

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Today is loyola day happy .founder's day loyola college  ibadan.july 31.

 During

my own days at Loyola college ibadan  the principal was father Michael Kennedy.i won't know  where he got  his name from.

Jacqueline  kennedy onassis former  first lady of usa  and the spouse of aristotle  onassis the greek  shipping magnate and then the world's  richest man waS born  on july  28 1929 .baptised  and confirmed and had her funeral at church of ignatius of loyola new york city.

So you can imagine  what was going on in my mind when I read in the nigerian tribune a report dated july 30 2022 that the 68/ 72 set of loyola college ibadan.seat of ignatius of loyola Chapel, had invited  the chairman givernors  Forum John kayode  fayemi  to commission  a building. Its not exactly know which day   .july 28?

John kayode fayemi has been variously  reffered  to as Jkf reminiscent of jfk standing for John f kennedy who was born on may  29 1917.may 29 the swearing in of nigerian president.fayemi very recently  was presidential aspirant! His wife bisi adeleye worked for a newspaper just like Jacqueline  kennedy.
