Good is the enemy of great.
A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children. A great man leaves a legacy and an indelible impact that outlives him.
Three years ago, during a difficult season of illness, you heard about a young doctor, tired and defeated, complaining to no one in particular that he could not afford a house in Lagos and had been sleeping and coming to work from his car parked in the hospital.
An average person would have listened and felt pity. A good person would have given the young doctor some money to find himself a house. But that was not you. You did the unthinkable. You decided to build and donate a 36-apartment housing facility for doctors at the National Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi. A first-class edifice to make life better for the doctors who do the good work of saving our lives every day.
Normal people focus on themselves when things go bad. Good people wait for the storm to pass before they give again. But a great man keeps doing good till his last breath. Who makes such huge contributions from their deathbed? Who puts others first in his final moments? Only a great man. Only my dear Bro Bro, MISA.
