So, my boss is 90. So, Sad Sam is 90. I was woken from my slumber to read Sam Amuka has hit the great milestone —on Tuesday, 10 June. I will be back. In the meantime, see the glittering testimonial our leader, the legendary newspaper wizard, Alhaji Babatunde Jose, wrote about the inimitable editor, columnist and publisher:

“It took me some time, involving changes of editorship, to find an editor who would produce the Sunday Times as I conceived it. That is, like the London Sunday Times—beefy with in-depth feature articles; spicy with entertainment; biting with investigative reports, informative with news; and compelling with power-packed editorials, and ability to produce the paper on schedule for sale. Only three editors achieved that standard—Alade Odunewu, Sam Amuka and Gbolabo Ogunsanwo.”

I must have missed the date because the publisher we call Uncle Sam has a way of running away from the country on occasions like this!! A typical editor, he does want and will not crave any attention.
