Didun ni iranti olododo. Dad, It's been 10 years since you took your rest in the bosom of the Lord. It's been 10 years building on what you stood for, it's been 10 years this celebrating your labour and legacy. Continue to rest as you join the cloud of witnesses to behold your sons, daughters, and grand-children growing in grace, working in love and taking to heart the advice and teachings you taught while with us. Miss you dad!

Years have passed but the mark you left on this world will never fade. Today we mark the anniversary of your passing—and we celebrate the love and memories he gave us. Rest on Dad

He was a father. That’s what a father does. Eases the burdens of those he loves. Saves the ones he loves from painful last images that might endure for a lifetime. Rest on Pa Oyedeji Moses Anifada

The memory of the righteous is blessed. I am happy that you are resting in a better place where we will meet to part no more. I love you dad and will forever ever be grateful that you were true to me as my dad. I was sharing the beautiful moments we had together with your grand children and I know you are happy to see the man I have become. I promise to take care of my mum and everything you left behind to keep your legacy. I love you my number one hero.

*TRIBUTE*
Through all my search I discovered that all Hero that ever falling falls for the sake of the love of their country and the love of their people and some falls for the love of their loves one which is the greatest love.
*Tribute Again 6/3/2014: 6/3/2021*
You are remembered again today because you are forever remain in our heart.
Your kind of Hero brought unity, your kind of Hero brought us Love, your kind of Hero brought us together.
Any time you call any one of us, you always ask a simple question: ( se en pe a ra yin oooo, meaning do you people call each other).
You left us letting us know that their is no love and no help outside your family.
But above all we are thankful to God for the Life spent and impact you have created on earth.
_*Oyeylmika John Oyeyiola*_

You are not forgotten and always be remembered for all your good works. Rest on my father and HEro!!!

I think about you all the time,
And every day it hurts to cry.
So much has happened in my life.
I'm not sure how hard to try.
Tears are falling constantly.
My heart hurts every day.
I think about how hard working you tried
I think about about how resourceful you tried
I think about the confidence you us
I think about the love of Christ you showed us and ppl around you
That I pray I see again someday.
Your slow and calm word of advice
Still rings in our hearts
All your helpful teachings
Are always here to stay.
I can't express how much you taught us,
So much we can't explain.
All the times I can remember,
Never once heard you complain.
So many hearts were broken
The day God called you home.
It seems as though each one of us
Was left to survive alone.
I know there was a reason
That you had to leave.
To keep us in your watchful eyes,
So now in God I really do believe.
John Oyeyinka Oyeyiola and Family

A tribute to my late dad
06 /03/2014
It’s been slightly more than 4years since I last saw you, spoke to you, seek your advice, or just sat in your presence. I miss you! I really, really miss you. I miss the sound of your voice, I miss your words of wisdom, your sense of humour, and I miss the sound of your laughter.
Not a day goes by when I don’t imagine what life would be like had you not died. Every situation that I find myself in I imagine a scenario where you’re present and sharing in the happy moments.I also get to hold on to the memories. I get to look at photos of you. I get to be proud when people (to this very day) still talk about what a fantastic man you were. You were always there for people when they needed help and you never expected or wanted payment for helping people. Your generosity and selflessness is inspiring and unmatched.
You’ve left people with a lot of good memories of you. They always mention how you made them laugh, always listened, how you always helped whoever you could with whatever you could. It gives me a feeling of warmth inside to hear these things about you and inspires me to be the kind of son you’d be proud of.
When I dream about you, I feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy that you were in my dream and sad that it ended too soon.
I used to cry a lot in the beginning because of the void left by your death, but as I got older it got a bit easier. I still cry sometimes, but it’s easier to now laugh and smile at the memories.

Thank you, daddy. Thank you for your love. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for being a good, hard working human being who encouraged me to be the best person I can be and to do the best I can in everything I wish to achieve. You gave me boldness, you gave me strength...your word of encouragement still lies in my heart that "hard work don't kill it's make you harder", "morning is the day my son do not play with your morning days")
I want to thank God because you father me for some years before your time on earth ended, rest on dad in the bosom of the Lord
Mostly, thank you for being my father. I love you.

...rest on

No amount of words can express my sincere joy for the impact you made in my life. My Joy is you are now resting in the bosom of the Lord even though its hard to find a replacement for the vacuum your departure left.
I love you and keep your legacy on and on. The seed of diligence, hard work, integrity, and love have grown with fruits and proofs to show that you are my HEroe. I love you, dad!!!

I open the book of memories and I saw all your encouraging word....love, patients, wisdom, be hard working, morning is the day(owuro ni ojo Omo mi, ise ni a fin mo ogun ise), he said study to get your self approved, he said hard work don't kill it only get you stronger, be a helper in wealth and word in love and kind, call each other if they don't call you call them you are laying a pace, don't run away from your responsibility, a Knight in my life, a bold man that build boldness in me and in all of children, a man that love his wife with everything, Mmmmmh my father can cook enh, and he can wake up as early as 3:00am and he will wake the children's up as early as 5:00am for we to take our bath and by 6:20am breakfast is ready...what a hard working man, a chef, he never complain, he will say there is "PLENTY " and people can come to our house to eat like restaurants, he cook for people with a very big pot just to satisfy people with no dim, this man enh....what we the children are enjoying today he build them in us and you made me a man of my own before you gone......you gave knowledge, heart of boldness, you thought me how to love if I marry, ....
I say thank you Jesus for giving a father like OYEDEJI OYEYIOLA and thank you for taking him away from me...thank you Jesus. I lay a flower of love for you today 8th February 2018.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF MY LOVELY DAD.....
MUSA DAN MUSA.
Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, your spirit lives within me, forever in my heart.
The memory of a good person is a blessing. Proverbs 10:7
Your memory will live on in our hearts forever.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.
May you find comfort in the hands of angels.
Those we held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.
 Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories..

You are truly loved but the Lord love you more keep resting in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again.

I love but God loves you more. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord till we meet and part no more.

Luke 10:20

(TLB)
However, the important thing is not that demons obey you, but that your names are REGISTERED as citizens of heaven.

(Amp)
Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are ENROLLED in heaven.

(KJV)
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are WRITTEN in heaven.

My joy today is the fact that my first persecutor in February, 1989 when i surrendered all to Jesus and made him my personal Lord and savior is now resting in the Lord. He slept confessing Jesus Christ as is personal Lord and savior. Hallelujah!!!

Part of my life time goal and prayer is that all my family members will make it to heaven. Today, i have pastors and ordained ministers serving God with zeal in my immediate family. It is my prayer that those left will be convinced and convicted with the help of the Holy Spirit to take bold step by accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and savior.

The life that my dad lives is a life that every parent should emulate. He is a DISCIPLINARIAN and an industrious man. As much as he accommodates everyone and called them his own, HE DOES NOT TOLERATES INJUSTICE. Little did i know that the hard and rigorous lessons he took me through those years will pay off now. He is a man that is fun to be with, his sense of humor made and depth of knowledge made to be loved by all.

Dad keep resting in the bosom of the Lord till we meet again!!!

I met baba 32 years ago when I was in courtship with my husband. our house was next to theirs. I loved him and I like him for many things;
Baba was a very hard working man. he had value for time and a good sense of time management unlike many African, if you were travelling with him, and the time schedule was 5am, he was not going to wait for you for another one minute. Whenever he had opportunity to talk, he made his point, and found his way. he was a fearless and bold man. No matter who you are, he would tell you his mind and the next minute , he is gone. He was a man of dispatch action.
I also see as a man of wisdom evident by the results we see around him. he labored in the morning time of his life and when the change in season came upon the nation, he could not be destroyed. he was not a concern to any child until his death.
.But baba took care of me as a daughter. there were some things he told me that only a father would tell you such. I kept them as words of wisdom, and they are still working for me. baba treated me with love and respect anytime I saw him.
He accepted me and integrated me as part of the family without any biasness at all times and circumstances could not change that. I can never forget when Samson was getting married, I was busy running round to fix things, baba said the engagement could not start until I arrived and when it was time to sign the marriage certificate, he included my name in the grooms family lists. That experienced remained with me till date. it encouraged to do more for people at any opportunity I have.
i came to the family under the fatherly care of daddy Oyeyiola in Alibaba street,Muchia, of blessed and precious memory. I did not have the opportunity to tell him thank you for his fatherly care.
I told Samson that I was just looking for the time baba will fly to the western world to see us and we can honor him for his love. I also thought that one day when my children will do good, I will have on seat, a father in love, not in law, who loved me, accepted me, and treated me with dignity and respect , to seat in his place as the Lord honors me but baba, it looks you will not be there.
I sincerely pray and hope that we will meet at jesus'feet. baba, I truly miss you. Thank you baba , thank you. Bye Bye.

To whoever is reading this piece, please know that it will not end here, there is a place called heaven and that is where you belong, please work at it, don't let the devil take you to where you don't belong. You are too good to go to hell. make things right today with God and if you are in Christ Hold on to Him. God loves you the way you are.

Baba though i did not meet you physically in your life time
But i met and i know one of your son, his wife and children
The value of life you imparted
Your love share to all
Your desire for God and his word that you gave your children and people around
You are a father to be desired by all

We love you but GOD loves you more
Adieu papa!
Till we meet again in the bossom of our LORD
RIP

A special dad is hard to find,
You dad I'm keeping in my mind,
I wished you could have stayed forever,
But I will never forget you oh not ever.

If dreams weren't dreams and dreams came true,
I wouldn't be here I'd be with you.
Distance is one thing that keeps us apart,
But dad you will always remain in my heart.

A special smile, a special face, a special someone I can't replace,
I love you and I always will,
You filled a space that no one will ever replace.

TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER-IN-LAW

My father-in-law passed away… He was important to me and more so to my husband. The wisdoms my father-in-law shared with me were built on His faith, (he was a knight of Saint John), His joy (saw his children settled down with their own families).
My father-in-law was a strong hard working man He earned the respects of the people around him, his influence, advice and friendship were sought after by many people from far and near. So what is the secret of my father-in-law when it comes to dealing with people? It’s been said by others that he could talk to someone and be able to read that person like a book from cover-to-cover almost immediately. And they’re right. I’ve seen the charismatic effect my father-in-law had on each person he came in contact with. He treated everyone the same way - whether that person was important or not. He gave each person his unwavering attention, without saying much – unless the other person asked for his opinion or advice. How can anyone not be disarmed by someone like that?
And what else is so unique about my father-in-law is the way he lived his life - Plain and simple. I have some very fond memories of my father-in-law. The first time I saw him he was excited full of joy and gladness. So dear, greeting each person, always the optimist- So alive -loved people. Anxious to share his faith: loves to make breakfast for every one; there's plenty," he would say. He was a caring, generous, and loving husband, brother, friend, and father-in-law — a second father to me, so much more than any daughter-in-law could ever hope for. Knowing him has been an honour and a blessing for me these past six years.
The last time I saw him his mind sharp and full of love for all of us. He is without doubt a very special man and loved by me and all. He is gone to be with the Lord. He will forever be in my heart. In the days ahead without him, remember his sayings, and recall the gifts he gave to each of us — gifts of life, love, friendship, wisdom, language, history and happiness.
DAD, until we meet again, by the grace of God, May our father in Haven hold you in the palm of His hand...
