Abi, that's what we called you. I was so shocked to hear of your passing.      So shocked that all I could say was 'Oh my God!' Then I started to reach out to people from Globemed so that I could find someone to speak to. A friend or acquaintance we had in common. I called Ben, Titi and Mercy.                                                     I wish this was a birthday message. I would have liked to thank you in person for the lessons I learnt from you.                                          You were there when it mattered the most. My traditional and white weddings. You sent me 5k on my daughters birthday.                        I have fond memories of you speaking about how much you loved The food Network and tried out recipes. You also didn't joke with lunchtime. You had a Ziploc bag with soup and made Eba a few times. I recall that you gave me garri once to make eba at the office.                                                   You were also very particular about positive confessions. You would say, I am strong.                                                                 As sad and shocking as this is, I am glad that you were saved. Till we meet again.

I am still lost for words!
In all we give God the glory.
I shall forever cherish the moments we shared as colleagues in Globemed.
I pray that the sweet holy spirt comforts your family and grants them strength, even in this difficult time!
Till we meet again on the resurrection morning!
Rest in peace dearest Abby!

I sometimes randomly remember happenings and people from QC and memories of you and the funny nicknames you gave our classmates pop into my head.....nicknames like Ribena, green pepper, nosey..... You were such a fun spirit Biodun. Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord. May your family and all loved ones find solace in this. Amen

Life really does throw us things we never ever expected.
I met Aby on our maintenance group. I always wondered how someone could be so loving and caring. She is such to every one as our captain. I always loved her beautiful smile and words of motivation each morning.
Now we have to live without you here. You are greatly missed sister. I cry because, I wish you remain here but heaven beckoned on an angel- Aby.
Good night Aby Makay and rest on peacefully with your maker.

I only got to know of Abi two months ago through the Foodtherapy platform however she made such an impact in the short time I knew her. She was our group captain, always encouraging us to work out and eat well, every morning I woke up to a motivational message from her. Her messages to me were full of care and warmth. Captain, your presence will be so missed! Rest in perfect peace

It's amazing how someone can make such a huge impact in one's life within a short period of time.

In the few months I've known you, you became a strong support system. You checked up on me consistently through the period of my son's admission at the hospital. We were determined to make sure we exercised and ate healthy in May. So, you kept encouraging me daily and calling me out on the group each day I didn't show up. You were more than a group captain, you became my friend.

You were indeed a blessing in the short time I knew you. Heaven has gained an angel but we miss you here. You remain in our hearts forever and we can only console ourselves that one day, we will meet to part no more.

Sleep on angel. ❣❣❣❣

I still can’t believe it, this hurts sooo much.... it’s been a few hours I heard now and I still can’t grasp this, I’m struggling ABIODUN! You buzzed me on May 19th 2021 my birthday, it hurts that I’ve deleted all my messages cos it was a lot... how could I have known it will be my last with you... Aby I smiled every time I ran into you in faculty of sciences UNILAG. Though I’ve known you since Queens College. The tiny shrieking voice at the front of row two in Y! That voice became sweet, friendly and warm. I looked forward to hearing from you through ENNY! I don’t know what happened but wished I talked to you more often ABIODUN OKEKAZEEM! Sun re oooo

It still feels surreal knowing that there will be no one to tease me with the name, Snoops! as you fondly call me.

I remember when we met in Junior school and we were having a hard time dealing with boarding life and seniors. But hey, we pulled through...

I also remember our last hang out with Enny and I was looking forward to more with you... hmmm...

You will forever be loved and cherished pretty Abby.

My friend and confidant ❤️

June 4, 2021
I don't think we said more than five words to each other in QC but we met again at General hospital,Lagos in 2016 at the emergency to see a doctor for different reasons . From then on you became my friend,when I was having PCOS you encouraged me telling me everyday to be strong and I'd conceive and then island maternity in 2020 you continued to be my rock,I  mean a friend I tell deep things and I know not a soul will hear,you trusted me to tell me how you felt sometimes. When I got married I was always chatting you up on WhatsApp to report my husband and you would always say I over reacted,you would make me go back and apologize to him. You were there for me,you were selfless and I may have never told you this but biodun I love you. I will never have a friend like you,that's the truth. You are rare.
I'm sorry I didn't text enough, motherhood overwhelmed me,I'm sorry I wasn't there like you were always there for me,Rest in peace

Rest in love my Smoske

Smoske! I really can't believe I'm writing this. Back then in QC days, we would joke around a lot. I remember when we used to make fun of the Math teacher then who pronounced 'Small Square' as 'Smoske' and then we nicknamed each other that.

Rest in love and power Abi
