Rest on Val. You were a bundle of life and fun. No dull moment with you. Will never forget the trip we did to Accra Ghana by road in a bus for some Hash event about 12 years ago. That was a long weekend together; forever etched in my memory. Always, you will be remembered . We love to wind each other up as we both love a laugh, your laughs still echos in my head ..... Engima was your Hash name . the Lagos Hash House Harriers LH3 will always remember you...

I saw the news and could not believe it. I called my older siblings who are quite familiar with the Ndiomu Family growing up from Ilorin to Lagos in the 60,s; 70,s and 80,s.......We cant even tell our mom till date. Ohh Goodness......
On behalf of the Nammor's Family, we wish to express our profound condolence to the Ndiomu's Family on this untimely loss of their Son, father, brother, uncle and friend. May God in his infinite mercy grant him eternal rest and give his family the fortitude to bear this loss. May God bless your wife and Children; keep and protect them. Gone too soon is an understatement...........Adieu.

My neighbor, my brother! It is the will of God that you are called at this time, just as the year was ending. We can not question God. Your darling wife Gbemi cant stop crying because you were such a sweet husband to her but death knocked and snatched you away this early. I will always remember your daily jogging to keep fit which encourages me. May eternal rest be granted unto you and let perpetual light shine upon you. May God strengthen your loved ones whom you left behind especially Mama, Gbemi and the children. Adieu Val!

My neighbor, what a world! I met you jogging and I jogged behind you admiring your courage at it just few days before your demise, little did I know that that was the last I was gonna see you! I cant forget your kind gesture to our family of a gift of some stock fish by just a knock at our door! God bless your kind soul! Rest on big bro. you will sorely be missed, as we journey to your village today, to commit you to mother earth, I am paying my last respect to you for such a wonderful soul you are! Your requiem mass was great, showing how great you were!
Adie! Adieu!

Rest in peace Valentine Ndiomu..How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone,
I still can't accept it,

Heaven has called upon you,
leaving so many words left to say.
But now it's too late, for your time has come,
words unspoken; I am sure everybody has some.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too,
but lasting forever are memories of you.
I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
Now it's time for me to say Good-Bye,

Words cannot describe this loss at this time. Loy. Valetine Ndiomu, is a worthy member of LCI 75/76 set. His death is one loss too many. Devastating as all deaths of our Brothers, too numerous to mention who have passed on. Our solace is that Loyola Boys will meet again, United evermore. May God console the family he left behind and eternal rest Grant the soul of Valentine. In Jesus Name. Amen. How the Mighty have fallen and the weapons of war destroyed. Adieu.

‭What can I say to a man that has been a huge impact in my life, someone who showed me the way, stood by me and helped me grow?
I miss you so much already. You loved me for who I was and accepted me for who I was striving to become. You were the most caring, loving person and you loved God with all of your heart. Now that you're in heaven, I know that I have an angel watching over me. You brought joy and happiness to a lot of people , you were a gift to this world. Life would never be the same without you, I'm extremely grateful and thankful for the times that we shared and I know that someday we would meet again.
I hope you realise how much I love you and I will love you for the rest of life. You taught me some of the most valuable lessons in life and I will cherish them.

My most intriguing discovery on his passing is that he was fondly called "Enigma" by some of his friends. That word is the best description of his person and his personality. He was such a non conformist to an extent difficult to describe. Throughout my lifetime I have found him very difficult to understand. I am yet to meet anybody who claims to have truly understood him. A deeply religious man, a deeply loving husband and father but not in the way and form of what I consider conventional my "normal" mind. To the best of my understanding he had opted to live his life in absolute freedom away from the chains and restrictions conventional and normal life would like to impose on us. He lived his life with a certain sense of freedom I truly envy. I now realize that it takes a special person to demand and live life in freedom as the individual determines it to be. I guess in transiting into a greater realm he has achieved the true freedom he has always desired. I wish him great flight. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace.

Mr Valentine Woyinenangasuo NDIOMU

Tribute

I met Valentine, a quarter of a century ago and at the first meeting, he kept to himself.

I had met the rest of the Ndiomu clan and had heard so much about him, being the eldest, so finally, when we did meet, it was something of an experience.

He had from my observation of him a deep mind that wanted to know what was what and who was who. Not to take things at face level but to make up his mind for what he accepted to come into his natural orbit.

A man of great passion and he lived to the full calling of his name, truly, he was a romantic.

He loved dancing and imparted, all he had to give. Energetic and very enterprising. From his all earthly endeavours, culled mostly, for the need to have company, to enjoy and jubilate and fellowship, it was always fun to be in his company. A man of many seasons.

Strangely as it may sound, his spiritual mien was deep. He attended daily Mass and he was present at the worship. In singing and prayer, you heard his voice, he was truly active. From all the Ndiomu clan, topped only by his dear mother, Aunty Grace, he was found in Church the most.

No wonder at his demise, his mother’s heart cried, ‘Suo’, of all my children you drove me to love and persistent attention, the most.

His passage at a most auspicious time of the year, the last day, will mean for time immemorial, we will always remember and never forget, Valo.

He lived a good life and was fair to all.

He was truly remarkable, with his wife, Gbemi, he kept his bond of love. For his five lovely daughters, the dearest jewels in his life, we pray that from up above, his prayers and love, will keep them safe, no harm or turmoil will come near them.

We pray for comfort, strength and peace for all left to mourn his demise.

Valentine, the Almighty will forgive all your frailties, grant you eternal rest, amen.

From up above, keep us all in the bond of love and make steady our progress in life, amen.

He will be sorely and truly missed.

Please accept my condolence for your loss. Keep his memory in your heart so your pain can ease a little. For God knows the pain you are going through and if you ask he will give you strength. Psalms 46:1 If you can not ask he is so loving that he hears your request in your heart.

My Darling Valentine
A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two twinkle eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best
You will always live in my heart and soul!

With heavy heart writing this tribute.

Bros, as I always called you, you smile back and say Kenny all is well. It was a shock when Marine boy called me with the sad news that you have left us. How can a lovely, caring and gentle brother just leave us like that, what about the lovely smile and dance that make us laugh and happy having you around us.

My consolation now is to cherish the wonderful memory of the time we spent together in Churchill's. Extra- ordinary good people like you come into this world to impact people's life around you with love for a short time and go back to God.

I know and believe that God loves you more and you are resting in peace with him until he send you on another assignment to impact people's life.

To the wife, children, brothers and sisters. May God Almighty give you the strength to bear the lose.

I'm very lucky that Bros was part of my life for that short time l spent with him.

Sleep on Bros, it is well with your soul.

My great Valo ur death was a rude shock because at the time of your passing myself and tony Ezekiel were reminiscing about our teenage years with u 40 years ago. Your smile and your kindness coupled with your loathing for injustice stood you out as a special human being. Forever u shall be missed. May your soul rest in the bossom of The Lord.

I was checking my mail this morning and I saw a reminder that today should have been Val's 60th birthday. My mind went into reflections of the man, Val Ndiomu.
The thing that stood out for me was his kindness and his willingness to listen. Val never turned anyone down. He always had a solution, a suggestion, a smile for all who came with a baggage. He had this way of reassuring that it was going to work out in the end.
The world became a lonelier place without Val and my prayer goes to the family, his children, his spouse, his brothers, his sisters and yes, his mum and also his so many friends. May God continue to uphold us. And may Val's wonderful soul find expression in heaven.
