It is my pleasure to introduce number 02 on the list to you.

GENERAL ADEREMI LAWRENCE - THE BISMARCK. -02

Everyone has their own little weaknesses and cravings, Mister Shola as most of us fondly call him was no exception to this. His exceptional appetite and craving for fries and soft drinks is seconded only by his preference for the use of only capital letters for texts, chats and social media posts. Mister Shola also went by the name Bismarck after the great German statesman Otto von Bismarck, He never saw the need for small things including small letters of the alphabet. Also worthy of note is his excessive philanthropic gestures, if he were to be a Muslim, his score on the Zakat scoreboard would be a 10/10.

Additionally, He is also an interesting box of ironies, contrasts and surprises. To my notice, he never had any intimate friend throughout our 4-year stay in School, he also never had a preferred course mate nor saw the need to walk in groups. In spite of all these, he is still a very Sociable individual, his ability to spontaneously manufacture questions and throw them at people is not only amazing, but to some extent annoying also. God help you if you were the one in possession of the answers to Mister Shola's questions, because you surely are in for an extensive and rhetoric outburst of questions, infarct you would not know rest until he is fully satisfied, by the way, that is something he is seldom capable of. Consequently, i have a lot of respect for him because very few people can afford to approach others and demand answers to whatever it is they need to know.

Also in his cache of contrasts is his ability to dress quite handsomely, yet managing to show off some discreet parts of the body at the aame time. All thses aside, there is something else i have always been curious about with respect to him, and that is his ability to surround himself with a large cache of very beautiful women. Alot of the time, Mister Shola is always discussing with one pretty lady or another, how he manages to pull this off, i would never understand, whatever it is that he does tell them which usually makes them listen with rapt attention, i may never know, i guess this Gift is God's compensation for his inability to speak without undue intereference by his native accent.

On a more serious note, Uncle Shola as i prefer to call him, is also a devout scholar, with thousands of library hours under to his name, he is second only to Hope and the notorious Ranke. General Shola the Bismarck as he now fondly calls himself is also a very open-minded person, he never keeps grudges, is never scared of any confrontations, nor is he altogether happy with the deplorable state of modern day society, where selfishness is more of a virtue than a vice.
He believes that there are a lot of ingrates out there, even as i also think that his feud with ladies goes beyond their love for materialism, but also may be borne from some nasty encounters he may have had with them in the past.

Whatever happens, Paul and I would be eternally grateful to Uncle Shola Aderemi Bismarck - the General for the many times we have been firsthand beneficiaries of his immense benevolence.
