South Africans planning to travel domestically can expect to pay more than ever for transport costs due to high petrol prices and increased toll costs.
Permit me to first share with you the life and times of a Lagosian who was well respected and cherished. Olatunji Fortunatus Gomez was born on 18 March 1928 and was admitted to the Nigerian Bar in 1961. Fondly and popularly referred to as Pa Gomez, he was a true son of Lagos who defied the powers that be and had his destiny shaped by resistance to colonial indignities. His grand uncle and client, Christopher Alexander Sapara-Williams, was Nigeria’s first lawyer. Sapara Williams died on the 15th of March, 1915 and was buried at the Ajele Stadium (which was then used as a burial ground).
