REST IN ABSOLUTE PEACE MY BROTHER ADEJIREEEE!!!
The beat faded and suddenly the music stopped. A mighty Oak in the forest came crashing, the majestic elephant that bestrode the jungle fell and could not rise again. The news of your demise was no doubt devastating and shocking, words failed me. Exactly 4 months prior to your exit, I sent you messages checking up on you and your family, enquiring about your Auto work, I admonish you to keep giving it all it takes and concluded that you will succeed and come to rival the likes of ELIZADE. In your usual positive manner, you said “I believe you all the way” and also asked how I was doing. Those lofty dreams have been truncated by death callously.
You were a true brother and friend, compassionate, loving and trustworthy. I remember about a decade ago when I needed to make some contacts. I mentioned it to your hearing and the next thing you said was, “let’s go and meet Kabiyesi, he will be able to help you”, I asked “who?” and you replied “Kabiyesi Jegun, he’s my Uncle, I will take you to the Palace to see him”. Off we went the next day, making a first visit to your Granny to invade her pot of soup, we landed in the Palace and true to your words the amiable and Majestic Jegun (Oba Adedugbe) of blessed memory came out, vividly, I recall, it was just the 3 of us, Kabiyesi was intermittently hailing you while he brought out his official letter-headed papers, wrote a note to the individual I need to see and attached his Cards to it. Thereafter we spent more hours gisting with Kabiyesi as I later discovered he was a close friend to my town’s Oba. You never hesitate to lend a helping hand.
Jirexy, as I fondly call you, you memories will be evergreen. May the good Lord uphold and strengthen the folks you left behind, may he soothe the pains of your exit with the Balm of Gilead. Fare thee well a beloved friend, Rest well in the bosom of thy maker where there is no pain…..Peace Profound!!

—feeling frustrated.
when he said "...and There's a friend that sticks closer than a
brother".I remember sometime in 1996(about 20 years
ago!)when we just started 'blooding' together,I said something
to you that you are one of the few people alive that can watch
my back and I'll go to sleep with my two eyes...20 years on
the story still remains.Jire is more than a friend,he 'IS' a
brother,he's not not dead but alive in the heart of my heart.Its unfortunate that we got to know the height of your love ,the depth of your loyalty,the width of your influence and the magnitude of your ruggedness in death.continue to rest in the bosom of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
ADIEU my brother.
Waking up on sunday morning to see this sad news on facebook was something I found hard to believe until I went through his
facebook wall.
I know a lot of things will be going through the mind of "Mummy Olusegun" right now.
Growing up in Ondo town was made easier by this amiable family.
In 2011 when "The Onis" suffered their own calamity when we suddenly lost Oni Ajibola, this family stood by us through their
prayers, calls and text messages despite the distance.
How I would have loved to tell them that coping with such calamity would be easier and the wound healing soon.
The truth is that the pain can never go away and the wound might heal, but the scar will still be there for everybody to see.
All I can say is that "May God guide Bro. Adejire Olusegun on the journey to his final destination."
To those loved ones left behind, may God continue to console you and give you reasons to be happy.

the only memory I have of you is you somersaulting several years ago back in Ile-Oluji. I also remember congratulating you via Facebook sometimes in 2014 after you got married. I surely thought I'd one day come to see you, your wife, and your beautiful son. Like everybody else, I didn't know that was never to be, that the few memories I had of you would be all I would ever have ...Say hi to Grandpa and Grandma for me, and sleep tight
Love, Oyinda

YOU LEFT SO SOON

Adejire,I remember your wedding preparations and tears just kept rlling down my cheek.You came to me and said" ,sister febi,if i dont marry Tosin,I will miss her" I looked at you in the eye and said you will marry Adejire and I prayed for you.
The night before the wedding,you came to me on that Friday morning after hailing me that i ended up emptying my pocket after being hailed -esa by you and your friend.For which I gladly did.Reflecting back,i just thank you for the great gift of Iyimide you left for us all to tender and keep.You are indeed a comet that blazed through the evening sky,you left too soon Adejire.
Am going to Nigeria to see Iyimide for the first time,rather than hear your rusty voice,i will be hearing Iyimide pur our innocent voice and rhythms.Iam indeed blessed knowing you left a parting gift despite the pain.
Good night A dejire.Tell Mummy and daddy I missed them so much.Tell my dad your mum is aching inside so much.A beautiful apperance a reminder of our part with you sealed with the blood of Jesus is what I desire
TO ADEJIRE OLUSEGUN
HE GAVE ME
Olaitan Adesina
At dawn
He gave me one white candle, one
And told me to light it on the lawn
And pray that good fortune may come
With the rising of the sun.
At noon
He gave me four red candles, four
He told me to light them on the porch
And invoke spirits from the great beyond
To ward off the evil of the noon-day sun.
At dusk
He gave me seven black candles, seven
I am to light these and pray to heaven
That shadows from above descending
May bring me peace and ease my passing.
(Dedicated to the memory of Adejire Olusegun)
