My first encounter with Adetokunbo was in the 1960s through my elder brother when they both attended CMS Grammar School. The two friends later attended an interview at Christ's School, Ado- Ekiti when my late father drove them to the Bus station. In Ado they experienced traditional Ekiti hospitality from my parents' close friends, the Osekitas.

Tokunbo, however, stayed on at CMS before proceeding to Old Swinford Hospital School, Stourbridge in Worcestershire, England where he completed his Higher School Certificate course in June 1968. We met again in the University of Lagos,where we graduated at different times,and again at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

As we later discovered to our surprise our two fathers had coincidentally chosen the same friend, the dashing Chief Orija, to serve as our godfather at our christening.
