In Loving memory of Our Dear Son, Brother, nephew, Cousin, Grand-son and Great grand-son.
Born – 3rd December 1990 (25 years and 10months)
Place of birth – Alalade Memorial Hospital, Ijeshatedo . Lagos
Primary School – Effortswill Nursery and Primary school , Ejigbo. Lagos
Secondary School – Good Shepherd High school, Meiran. Lagos
University- University of Lagos, Akoka. Studied Political Science
Fearless, Carefree, Easy-going ,strong-minded -Go-getter. An individual with a great sense of humour and integrity. Was always the star amongst his peers.
Took pride in his appearance and value as an individual.
He lit up every room he walked into with his bubbly, fun-loving and down-to-earth charisma. A good-listener and highly intelligent, always in the know of trivial things and willing to go the extra mile to help family and friends. His easy-going relaxed nature made him a delight to be around.
Loyalty meant a lot to him as He had a small circle of friends with a long-term relationship. At his spare- time he loved playing video games and browsing the internet.
A believer of God and humanity. A devout Footballer with outstanding skills, Dami had always wanted to become a footballer for any European country. I remember when we were much younger we always found him at our neighbour’s house playing football the whole day, comes home covered in mud when he was hungry.
Dami loved Fashion and style, always wanted to have the latest wears. He was a character, always seemed to have a new joke to tell and there was never a dull moment being around him. I respected my brother so much, although he had a carefree attitude, he also had a serious side which shows intolerance to nonsense.
An Immeasurable love for our mother was expressed in his own words earlier this year when he posted on his face-book page a tribute on her 50th birthday.
"I just took a deep breath, thought about how far I have come with the privilege of being your offspring. I grew as an organism inside you for nine months. You carried me and sustained me. Sharing your sustenance with me through your umbilical cord. It is not severed in your heart. From being a toddler to the man have become. You are a blessing, a role model, a teacher, an inspiration. You have undoubtedly influenced my being alive today. I am proud of you because you never gave up hope when the times were hard, you kept going forward through it all, yard by yard. I would have never been here today without your unbounded love. I would ceaselessly eulogies you. I want you to know i would always stand by your side, I would give back and be your guide, even if I have a few dimes, I would never lose my faith in you. My prayers goes thus! May you live to enjoy the fruit of your labour, may you live through another 50 years in good health and wealth. Am so Glad to celebrate with you. Dem go bring your car from germany...lol. I wouldn't let my mum's birthday pass without offering my best wishes for a wonderful golden jubilee. Happy birthday my first love!"
This is a very painful and sudden loss to my family as Dami was the first male child and pillar of the family although he was my younger brother, I had always held him in high esteem.
I will miss my brother more than words can comprehend. Separated as teenagers, I had always longed for our re-union as adults,catching up on lost times.
Heaven has gained an angel that will watch over us. Damilola might not be here in the flesh but he his still alive in our hearts and minds, through Us he lives on.
May the Lord continue to give us the much needed strength, comfort and peace we seek during this difficult time and beyond.
As you sleep in the Cradle of the Lord, I am reassured of God's promises in His Holy word. May your gentle soul continue to rest in eternal peace.
We should all be thankful for knowing him for his time spent on earth. I hope everyone will always remember how wonderfully he touched our lives. May his memory continue to live forever in our hearts.

CONTINUE TO REST IN PEACE..GENERAL BEBO
it was the early morning of Wednesday 26th October, a neighbor of mine ran into my apartment, "opezy! opezy! he called out, "you don hear say your guy bebo don die" half awake i jumped out of bed in disbelief "Na lie, where you hear am" i responded. "On your data make i send you the link, he replied.
i was already shivering, i knew my neighbor wont come joking with a news like that that early in the morning.
i quickly reached for my phone, i clicked on the link, it was a link to one alimosho blog that reported the incident, reading the story and seeing the gory pictures, i was shocked, i couldnt hold the tears! i quickly logged in to facebook hoping i will hear something different, it was not long that someone broke the news of Dami's death on facebook and the RIPs started coming in that it dawned on me that it was real!
Dami and i gained admission into unilag the same year. i met Dami on our matriculation day, a friend of mine(Sesan Omolokun) who happened to be somehow related to Dami introduced us. we spent a good part of that day having fun!
About 30mins of relating with Dami, i quickly identified certain traits that distinguished him from every other person around. He was a fun to be with person, he was BOLD,CONFIDENT,SMART and FEARLESS!, Dami would often speak his mind on any issue irrespective of whose ox is gored, he had an independent mind! Dami no send anybody! He was a natural Leader! and for that, he earned my respect and admiration.
Dami has been a true friend and a brother since then till his untimely death!
i cannot begin to imagine how grieved his immediate family will be at this time, particularly his mom! Any time we spoke and for some reasons he had to say something about her, he was always quick to let every one around know he loved his mom and doesn't joke with her! "i no dey use my mumcy play o!" he would often say!
This must really be a tough time for the Ajiwokewu's. My prayer is that God Almighty in his infinite mercies will give the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss!
Forever in our hearts...RIP General!!!
REST IN PEACE MY ONE AND ONLY 7 STAR GENERAL BEBO.
