sola! sola!! sola!!!
You can no longer be seen, by the human eye,
But your soul and love that you gave so many, will never ever die
I wish I could tell myself that you'll be back someday
If I could make just one wish right now, I'd wish you back to stay
I guess this is the way life goes, and God's will we must accept
But I hope you didn't feel this pain or weep the way I've wept

Sola dear.....words can't express how my heart aches that you are gone.You were such a great and wonderful person. You had the brightest smile and I was always saving ur pics each time I stumbled on one. Always disturbing someone for bobos especially ur cousin Femi.Hmmmmmn,The world will greatly miss u. RIP Sola love.

EULOGY OF ADESOLA OGUNMEFUN

We do not mourn the loss of Desola because she will always be with us, in our heart. Her life was gentle; and the elements so mixed in her, that nature might stand up and say to the entire world, THIS WAS A LADY.

Adesola Ogunmefun was a wonderful intellect and a great soul of matchless courage.With a 1st degree from the prestigious Covenant University and her Masters in International Relations at the University of Lagos, Desola was humble, cool, calm, friendly, amiable, gentle, shy and very respectful.

“Those who died while trying to make our world a better place didn’t actually die, they proved some point, our job is to notice them and continue from where they stopped.” She was very hardworking, focused and a goal getter.

Adesola Ogunmefun strived hard to make sure that all our Model Schools are on point; she didn’t relent on her effort until she lost her valued and dear life to the cold hands of death. She was extremely dedicated to her duty and very very loyal to her Principal.
The sky is crying, and the flags are at half mask in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. It is a sad, sad day. But it is also your day, Desola, our brightest lady. We will miss your perpetual smile, the twinkle in your dark brown eyes, framed by eyelashes that would be the envy of any man.

Most of all, we will miss the vision of your future. Your short life spent had all the gravitational pull of a Christian body. You were light and love, beautiful and loyal. Desola, you will not pass through this way again. We can only believe that you were planted on Earth to bloom in Heaven. Take flight, our lady, Soar. We will all join you some day.

“Everybody dies, but great souls resurrect in our memories.”

Until then, your melody will linger in our heart forever. We love you, Desola. ADIEU!

           Aikulola, Olu. Ola.
           For All your Dear
           Friends In The
           Department of P&HE,

           Ogun State.

Sola...The last time we saw, you made sure we took a lovely selfie (I'll add to the gallery). We had fun, gisted and laughed.
Fast forward to when I heard, I was so sleepy that I hoped it was a dream! The truth is....I'm not over this yet but GOD knows Best!!
Sleep well dear as you'll remain in our hearts forever!

I'm totally short of words, I couldn't believe what I saw and read from Instagram until I further confirmed it on Facebook..... I knew u to be my sister in Christ Jesus under the umbrella KICC.

May ur soul Rest In Perfect Peace.

Hmmmmm just wish I can wake up from this nightmare cos it's been sleepless since I heard the news of your departure!it's just so painful I have to live with the fact that you re gone Sweet Sola. Your sweet smile makes me miss u even more. We love you but God loves u more. Sleep on Sola ! Sleep on.

Sola! Solypop (The name Oby christened you) :)

We will miss you.

Your bubbly personality.
Your sweet smile.

May God comfort Mommy, Daddy, Summs, Ayobola, all of us.

It is well.

WE LOVE YOU!

When my mum called me to tell me that my sis had been crying cuz she jst found out a friend of hers passed, It didnt occur to me that it was you. Even when i called my sis to console her over the phone....I still didn't know it was you. Imagine my shock when i saw it on one of the blog's. I still didn't believe it when I checked ur IG page and saw pples R.I.P comments. All i was thinking was No!!!! It cant be Sola!!!! Even now im still hoping its not true. Sola...we might not have been close but you were my best friend's (my sister) bestie. Always checking up on her, ever smiling.im not sure a day went by without my sis mentioning ur name In a conversation. I'm jst glad that u knew Jesus and i know u are with Him in a better place. My prayer is that God would give ur family strength in this trying period. You might be gone but u are definitely not forgotten. Rest in Peace in the bossom of our Lord Sola.

I'm still in denial Shola but if this is true, you're in a better place ... away from life & it's troubles & I know I shall see your smile again. You're forever in my thoughts. I miss you. I love you.

It was a mysterious day hearing the news of the death of my colleagues. Tears came out uncontrollably. Well there is nothing much to say, because the creator needs you more.
One thing is certain and sure we will not relent in our agitation #savelivesatthebeach. U ladies will forever be remembered for a life well spent and saving other lives which might have been lost in the same tragedy. I will miss both of you, but will forever remain in the precious space of my heart........I know you girls are enjoying and dining at the feet of your creator.

I love you @Funmi & @Shola.....Till we meet to depart no more!!!

Sholllayyyy!!!! ....my consolation is 1Thess 4 verse 13 and 18
13-Now we do not want you to be uninformed, believers, about those who are asleep [in death], so that you will not grieve [for them] as the others do who have no hope [beyond this present life]. 
18-Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words [concerning our reunion with believers who have died].
You asked me if I was busy on sunday after service in church, and I playfully gave you "ela", so please save the gist for when we meet again...
Very simplistic,you've never been the kind to take things too seriously,and your smile is always from ear -ear..(i use "is",because I know you are still smiling)
Keeping malice with you was futile,you'd always find a way to break the ice...never one to hold a grudge...And even now,you won't let me be angry at you....
Sola, in your short years on earth,you've connected us with so many people, and your death has brought reconciliation...you are indeed a special one...
I am only sad, because I know i'd miss you so much, my house chore partner...
I guess i'd have to scrub the gas cooker myself now,you promised you were going to do it this week...
Loool, "alapa ike"....you are in the rightest place...not a single house chore; all you've got to do is sing your heart out, chill in your mansion,enjoy the feel of gold under your feet and keep smiling
Shokuro(my talkative sister); I know you don't understand why we are sad, I can imagine you staring at us as though we are silly,you must be having the time of your life...
I'll have to start looking up now,to share our private jokes...it would take a lot of me getting used to not giving you sideways glances in church...
I know you are dying to tell me what we are missing here on earth. Save the gist for me..
Till we meet again, my love....sleep tight baby *tongue out*

Dear sola,you had a very big and wonderful smile.and dont let me get started on your goofy character because you were so amazingly goofy.i real appreciated when yourself and Ayobola used to help me self perfumes in convenant.You were wonderful and it hurts so much that our generation didnt get to see your potential to the maximum.You will remain in my heart forever.Love you loads and continue to smile down at us all.

hearing of your demise, was such a painful one, simply because I remember how nice you have always been to me, at Junior school, even at uni  seeing you on the queue after those crazy days of lectures or service, you were going to help me buy food, and save me the stress. On your convocation you smoked me out and fed me well, even took food to the guys back in the hall.you were always nice and always about the well being of those around you. You had such infectious joy around you. God bless the day I met you. We are not saddened for we know you are in a better place. Rest well Sola

Dearest Sola! I am still trying to come to terms with this. I keep asking questions "how" and "why". But I know God knows best. The last time I saw you, you were looking so pretty and I was like "what did she do"? Your charming smile, asking how I had been and my personal life. You were always so interested in that. Teasing me about my decisions....
Everywhere I look now, it's the memory of your smile I see and your voice screaming my full name
I miss that Sola!!
Rest in Peace my dear one....

Hello Babes! You always said that when you called me. Twice I forgot to call you on your birthday and for everytime you were upset but you didn't take it too seriously, called me, lashed me and that was it. You couldn't hold grudges (except with hopeless people).
Sola you were and will always be my friend for every pm that showed I was sad you called me to find out. For every battle I fought when my parents had issues you were my best buddy.
My younger brother says Hello that I shouldn't cry cos you are in a better place with your smile. You always had that smile for me.
I know we had plans, we wanted to build a farm, we are still gonna have that my love
I still think back and wonder why this happen but I know everything under the earth happens for a reason
It's hard for me to stop the tears but I will get there
I miss you now, I will miss you forever, I was proud to see you go around do your work in OGun and I am happy you were genuinely happy with work.
Sola I know you can read this and you are wondering why I am so distraught. I will be fine Sola cos I know you are in a better place. A place I will meet with you when God says.
From your baby sister (you always put it in my face that you were older)
I love you Adesola Ogunmefun.

Solaaaaa.....always smiling,always cheerful and always paying me a complement every single Sunday..you have inspired me to be a cheerful person with a positive attitude henceforth... Rest In Perfect Peace.

Sola the only one that was allowed to raid my kitchen,Saw you 3 weeks ago little did I know that it would be the last time, we couldn't finish our gist because it was a coded gist and the boys were around. The few times we spent together was fun, when I heard of your death I kept on praying on our way to the hospital that sunmby will call and tell me that it was a mistake but I was wrong. I love you but God loves you more. Sleep on my darling #gone but not forgotten#

Cant still believe you are gone......never knew saturday would be d last time i would see you,..with d smile on ur face at d wedding....asin!!! Still shocked..rest in d bossom of d most high

TRIBUTE TO ADESOLA OGUNMEFUN

Shols! Shols! Cousin mi toh sure!

There are no words to qualify how much I miss you.

To think that I called you on that sad day and there was no sign of evil in sight.
Just so you know, I had called that day to schedule our movie time but you were still in church serving the Lord and could not have a proper discussion, hence you said you would call back. I am still waiting for the call back!!!

Shols, the past few months have been filled with lots of memories for you and I.
I recall you prempting me few weeks back and asking me to wait 2 or 3 months for 'you know what'.
Shols, I have barely waited 6 weeks and now 'this'.
With the recent developments I have had deep thoughts and I now feel you protected me. This is so ironic, as I have always seen myself as being the one to protect you. Well, this has once again proved what you once said to me 'Before any other, you are first my blood and you come first'.

Shols baby, you are my blood forever.
I love you so much and I know you know it.

I refuse to accept reality as;
I still want to see the movie 'Captain America- Civil War' with you and our dearest Funmi Odusina.
I still want the 'J7 Squad Thingy'.
I still want to drive you home at 10:00PM to ensure you are safe. You know I dont mind the distance.
I still want to be your 'Map of Lagos'.
Hey! I want to drink 'Shandi' with you again.

Let me stop here as our list of bonding activities is endless and you know it all.

I bless that day in Enugu when our journey began.

Hearing that you departed with 'Funmi Odusina' (like you fondly called her), I was shocked but on the other hand I remember how true your friendship was and I have come to realize that it was truly golden.
The last time I hung out with you both was Sunday, May 22, 2016 (but of course, I saw you again on Sunday, May 29, 2016- sadly the last). You guys on that day had a miss understanding, hence we had to change plans and depart. Amazingly as i was driving you to the bus stop with Funmi driving behind, she called in the course of that short drive, asking to speak to you and there and then you guys spoke and settled your differences. I was pleased with Funmi for the boldness and even more pleased with you both for the envious friendship. You both never dwelled on any rift and made best friends.

I take solace in the fact that I know you are lounging in a better place now and I can only say, ENJOY.

My Aburo, cum Paddy, cum Confidant, you are forever in my heart.



With the purest of love,


PETER NWAGBOGU III

My dearest Sola...on the day of my foto shoot as the Face of Winning Women you stood by me...watching Sunbola carry out my makeover and making sure my makeover came out right; and it sure did!

Thereafter the chemistry clicked...and you said to me often times that when you grow up that you would want to be like me...
Sola why have you left so abruptly without growing up to my age and more?

This is a rude shock to me, my daughter and my nephew.. we recall on Sunday, June 5, 2016...after Church you were selling the CDS of the days message....you were ministering before you left for the beach!
Sola who is going to be giving me such warm smiles that exude from your face every Sunday.....and more?

We are however not going to weep as if there is no hope...all I can say is that you Rest in the Bosom of God until we meet again!
Good night my Sweet Girl! You are missed!

My sweet Shola, I know you are gazing at me at this hour. It's so sad you are gone, and you had to leave this way. Thank you for all the job links you sent to me, thanks for the hope you gave me when I was down and unemployed. You've been my friend for so so long, and I am happy that all through the 14yrs, we were never distant for more than a week. I will miss your words, and most of all your sweet yabs #BigHeadedBoy. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU SHOLITON BABY. Till we meet again. I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH.

My friend #family

Sola my darling, rest in the bossom of our Lord. As painful as this feels, Im really grateful to God that he chose you and gave you the opportunity of knowing him. So, I know you are smiling so hard and chilling with Jesus. We all miss you and im praying so hard for your sisters and parents, most espcially your mom.

In the short time you spent you left a huge impact in all our hearts. love you darling

Words fail me sola .... Words fail me Rest In Peace i wish i didnt have to write this

Hey solz, I still find it hard to believe u knw, I constantly av to remind myself dt ur rily gone. I remember wen we 1st meet in secondary school we jst didn't like each other and I neva thot we would be friends up ontill you departed. I jst didnt like ur QC attitude, but a few weeks later we hit it off n it was amazing n I knew dt I didnt jst av a friend I had a sister.
We v been blood for almost 15years and every moment has been an adventure. 'My partner in crime' as we call ourselves. I remember all d plans we made, from my graduation to finding ourselves partners, to our wedding ceremonies, pregnancies, deliveries in short life long plans, plans we never thot wld be so cruelly cut short. I love ur heart,sun blinding smile, d fact dt u cldnt kip malice to save ur life, ur laugh(especially d one u drag a lot), d contagious air of joy around u n d fact dt u always wnt to put a smile on sumone's face. Thou lets nt forget dt u cn be lazy, execpt u knw wen(winks).
I remember ow u were upset with me ova the fact dt I forgot to wish u api bday once in our entire bloodhood, my gosh u didn't allow it go until mumsy's bday last year boy was I glad. I can go on and on and I still wnt be done.
Words cnt begin to describe wat u mean to me, d depth of love I av for you, or ow am gona miss you. I lost an irreplaceable gem but heaven has gained one of its most brightest stars n I know God loves u more dan I eva could.
U av a permanent place in my heart wich jst makes us closer n u ll neva be forgotten.
Rest in peace darling.

I miss you Sola.... I miss you so much. am gonna miss your smile, the way you talk but what I'll miss the most is your free and humble personality...we quarrel alot but we always find a way to settle... mehn.... you left too soon Sola.... you left toooo soon I no-go lie. damn!!!

"Sola! Sola!! Sola!!!
"My local baby" that was what we called ourselves.
"My lover"
There really is a thin line between life and death Oremi!!
If I was ever told Wednesday, 1st June would be the last time I would hear your voice, I would have told you how great a Friend you were!!!
If I was told Sunday, 5th June would be the last time I would chat with you on BBM. My local baby, I would ...
Lover, you had no business leaving now.!You had no business leaving now!! You had no business leaving now Sola!!!
I still can't wrap my head around all this.
You "are" indeed a rare gift from God to me.

Babes, writing a tribute is too heart rending!
...God did break my heart the second time...
I'm still learning to trust Him, even when I don't understand.
Our beautiful memories together are what would keep me going.
I LOVE YOU BABES!

Hey Sola. U were always the girl with the biggest smile. So sad the world is without that smile now. But we rest easy knowing you are in a better place. Keep smiling princess.
