He is very funny, jovial, light hearted and friendly,his name is Idris a.k.a Olori. Although by no means a small boy, Olori's friendliness is shocking and as well humbling. Most people in his calibre would rather act with a certain amount of pride and high handedness, but that was not Olori. He would rather be happy, interact with every other person and relive us of stress with his rib cracking jokes, than act like some demi-god whose abode among men is a sheer mistake which would soon be rectified.
Olori is of the Yoruba tribal extraction, of average height and by all standards a full fledged Man. It would be impossible to stay beside him and yet encounter a boring moment. He was a master at conversations, maintaining the tempo of such conversations was his bane.
Although i never had cause to ask any monetary favours of him, his inclination towards benevolence and helping others is very remarkable. He finds it easy to assist others in whatever way possible. He bears no grudges and seldom takes offence in people's words and actions.
I respect people who pay their bills and Olori is one of them. I never saw him bargain the price of things that needed no bargaining, nor find ways to elude the payment of his dues or shy away from any such responsibility.
On the whole, Olori's cheerfulness and sincerity was one of his strongest qualities. His ability to set the right priorities was clearly exhibited in his obvious commitment to his academics, in spite of his other numerous commitments.
