KOFI ANNAN BURIED: SO LONG MR CIVILITY.

"Kofi Annan was an exceptional global leader — and he was also someone virtually anyone in the world could see themselves in: those on the far reaches of poverty, conflict and despair who found in him an ally; the junior U.N. staffer following in his footsteps; the young person to whom he said until his dying breath 'always remember, you are never too young to lead — and we are never too old to learn. 

The world has lost a standard-bearer of global cooperation. The United Nations has lost an embodiment of its mission. Now that I occupy the office Kofi once held, I am continually inspired by his integrity, dynamism and dedication. To him, indifference was the world's worst poison." - Antonio Gutteres, General Secretary of the United Nations Organization, eulogizing Kofi Annan.

ICHEOKU says adieu Kofi.
