A gee who left the world sooner than we all thought. He commanded men and his voice was laden with respect. Tuyo as I fondly called him was my aphrodisiac. You would always call me Desmondo McGregor.... and I would reply Desmondo Matuyo! Or I would say Oluomo Matuyo! Haaaa!! Erin wo, Ajanaku sun bi oke....omo Oluseun lo.... ipata Baami... I was fond of you and Milan together. Both of you taught me rascality, fun and ipatality..... Adieu Tuyota....Adiue

August 31, 2019

Adetayo would have been 49years today
He lives in our hearts. Peaceful rest brother. There's no day that passes that I don't think of you. Miss you. Glory to God. ❤.

October 18, 2018

I am so very sorry for your loss. Our Creator purposed for us to live forever, so having to cope with the sudden death of a loved one feels very unnatural. Soon, we will be able to experience the truthfulness of Gods promise "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing" (1 Corinthians 15:26). What better hope than to know that God will very soon bring an end to death and all the pain we face (Revelation 21:4). My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved Adetayo.

October 2, 2018

I just heard this a few days ago. It really saddens my heart to hear this tragic news. I pray that you find eternal rest in the Father's arms. I pray that God will comfort your entire family, immediate and distant.

September 19, 2018

I still can't believe this tragic news. It is a huge shock . Thank God for your Humble life. Tayo, Afolabi,Olaitan omo Odusola your life was like a blessing and your memory will remain a treasure to the people's heart you touched . You are truly loved beyond words and missed beyond compare . May God in his infinite mercy aid the family you left behind and may he give them the fortitude to bear the loss. May your gentle soul Rest in perfect peace.

September 16, 2018

The world has lost a great soul and heaven has gained one. Rest in eternal peace Cousin, not enough words can describe the pain and shock of losing you. Never known a brother so selfless, so loving, so caring, so protecting, so generous, so strong, so fearless, so cool.
You were always a shining star who brought joy to wherever you led and to whoever you met. Young or old, rich or poor you never discriminated.
You've left us with fond memories that we will cherish in our hearts forever.
Sleep tight in the arms of the Lord bro.

September 16, 2018

Continue to rest in perfect peace bro

September 15, 2018

My name is Yvette, you do not know me, but I am one of Jehovah's witnesses, and I am so sorry for your unexpected lost. When Jesus was here on Earth, he demonstrated what will happen in the future. He restored life to the dead. (Matthew, chapter 15, verses 29 - 38) Soon, no more death. (Revelation, chapter 21, verse 4. Prayers to you and family.

September 14, 2018

Tayo l pray that your soul rest in peace , may the Lord hands be upon your family to Comfort and watch over them jealously.
The Lord gives and takes so who are we to query Him, this is my message for the family and please don’t let us be like those who have no hope in the Lord he is asleep.
Good night Mr Tayo Odusola.

September 10, 2018

Tayo, God always knows best. Missing you bro. May your gently soul rest in perfect peace. May the lord give us the strength to bear the lost. A great loss.
Segun (Peter) Adenuga.

September 10, 2018

Tayo, to say I am shocked and devastated is an understatement. I spoke to some weeks ago, I promised to link up with you the next time I was in Ijebu, A few weeks later I woke up early on Saturday morning to read about your demise. Initially I thought I was having a nightmare……. I called your brother Debola and he confirmed the sad news.
Bruv you went to soon …… but who am I to question God. Our pathed crossed at Sanni Luba in Ijebu-ode 34yrs ago, we became friends then brothers.
My prayers and sympathies are with Debola and entire Odusola family. I pray that the almighty God will grant you the fortitude to bear the colossal lost
Adieu my dear brother Rest In Peace.
Seun (Paul) Adenuga

September 10, 2018

It's always disheartening to see young and inspiring Men sleep the final sleep on earth. There are no words to explain nor to console the love ones who are left behind. God you give and you take for reason(s) best known to You. HE HAS PAID THE LAST DEBT. Like David said to Solomon he has gone to where everyone would go. Son of Odusola rest in the bosom of the Lord where there is everlasting peace

September 9, 2018

Dear Tayo,
Your death is still very shocking, difficult to accept but yet very true and very real. People say memories are what we hold very firm to us, that makes sense a lot to me now as I have fond memories of you. I still remember your smiles, your calmness on issues, your kindness , your gap tooth and your love. Tayo , you were a brother , an in-law, a fashion icon, a rare gem, one of a kind in the Odusola family and a complete gentleman . One of the memories that has stuck till today are my escapades at your house during growing up days: you were there to protect me , showed me love as a sister and you sort of protected me as well. If I knew the last time I saw you at Crystol Wembley UK would be my last with you , I would have held you closer.
Tayo , I’m struggling to believe your quick exit and I know this death has left a big vacuum in everyone’s heart but it’s only God that will grant your Mum, sister Mosun, sis Adeoti , Bros Gbenga , Debola, Morola & extended family the strength to bear your loss. We love ❤️you even in death
Sun re o omo alare, Omo alagemo merindinlogun ! Ijebu will miss you
Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord

September 9, 2018

Many times we wait until a friend has died to tell the world what a wonderful person they were.And am just as guilty as the next person about that.Toyo,as a lot of people called you,watching you,you thought me we could be friends with pretty much anyone if we gave it time.”Flipmo” as you fondly called me,my heart is still heavy with sadness and disbelief that your gone.you were an experience.And we all loved it.rest on brother.

September 9, 2018

Wow wow wow.. What a news! I still can't fathom... But God knows best we cant question him....May the good Lord continue to strengthen the entire family... IJMN.

Heaven opened and poured forth it's rains to signify your triumphant entry into paradise, I shed tears despite my battling with the enforcement agents on that day my heart was with you.....rest on fabulous Snookys

September 9, 2018

I have been battling with the reality of your demise, I have not for once ever imagine it could be you as DP on people's profile with several qualifiers, I am still living in denial of your loss, our closeness on planet heart was designed by the most high, we shared so many things in common including our name "Toyo" you were at some point my personal ally, we did so many things together and you know how much I held you close to my heart. I endorsed the name Belushi for you and it bacme your symbol, I leave everything to God as He is the giver and taker of life......Oluwa ohun lo'ye, continue to rest in peace my fantastic Belushi

September 9, 2018

Still finding it very difficult to believe you are gone.Touched when I got the news but God knows best. You will forever be in my thoughts. The way you conduct yourself and business is just unique. Never a dull moment in your company. You are full of life before and after death.
Continue to Rest In Peace eyan mi.

May God grant you eternal life and much comfort to your bereaved family.

September 7, 2018

This is really sad and traumatic. I have no words. My heart is with all your siblings and kids at this trying time. Rest in peace

September 7, 2018

Having to write this about a long-time home guy from way back in Mayflower School is indeed a tough one but I owe this to your departed peaceful soul Tayo as my last respect even if I've not set my eyes on you since leaving Mayfee in 1987. Tayo, I was & still shocked since the day I read the news of you sudden death on our class forum and I still wished someone tells us the news isn't true but alas the reality dawned on me when I saw pictures of our own easy going, handsome, fabulous, humble & sociable Tayo in casket today. Well, I take solace in the fact that you indeed lived a good life & left worthy legacies which is even evident through the outpour of tributes and the huge turnout at your final passage. Surely we your Ex-Mays 82/87 colleagues will miss you greatly but God alone knows why he took you this time. Our condolences goes to your blessed wife and children and indeed the entire family and friends that you left behind. Sun 're o Adetayo omo Olusola!!

September 7, 2018

Life is truly a journey!
The news of your death was a rude shock, truly shocking because you were known to be full of life, making life fun and a jolly fella.
Our path crossed right from Sanni Luba Primary, and sealed with Ijebu Ode connection so when we met again in Mayflower you were the dude with the cool crew that I knew from way back.
My prayers and sympathies are with the entire Odusola family.
You have ran your race and finished your course, sleep well Tayo!

September 7, 2018

Tayo, you lived life, loved life and enjoyed life...but left too soon. You are an irreplaceable loss to me and all your loved ones. I take solace in the fact that I will see you again in heaven. May God be with you till we meet again at Jesus's feet. Good night buddy,sleep well and rest in peace.

September 7, 2018

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's burial..
On behalf of your family, friends & colleagues we bid u dear Tayo farewell.
Sleep on with the angels..
May God strengthen all u left behind..Amen

September 7, 2018

I met Toyo through my cousin Jide Bantale, and he immediately left a lasting impression with his friendly, laid back, always stress free, no wahala nature, and his impeccable fashion sense, he also had a keen sense of self worth, imagine my surprise and pleasure, when I later discovered he was the brother of my very good friend Debola. Anytime anywhere we were opportuned to meet he always made me feel welcome even in my own neck of the woods! He was a really good and great guy. It is really hard to think of him in the past tense. Sleep on Toyo. U left indelible footprints in the hearts of those who knew u.

September 7, 2018

AdeTayo, We met way back in the Mayflower days,then I met your younger brother. Your sudden death was a shock but God knows best. May God grant you eternal rest and give your family the ability to bear this loss. You will be dearly missed bro. Until we meet again
Sun re o....

September 7, 2018

Tayo aka Toyo, never knew him as Toyo but remembered him as Tayo the lovely ajebutter boy! Not blue band but the real anchor.... Gentle boy with a gentle voice. Always wondered why he spoke so softly and politely. Never saw him fight nor argued with anyone. Always remembered him as a gentle boy aka man. That is his legacy and may it live long after him.
He was a well loved boy back then in Mayflower and I really liked his sister Bola, she is a sweetie. I hope she and the rest of the family are bearing up well. I would really like to get intouch with Bola. If you ever read this message, please get intouch.
Tayo rest on Bruv and I know that your children would always remember you as a loving father who did all he did in gentleness. That is your legacy Bruv and it would live long after you. May the Lord look after your young family and send his angels to encamp around them.
As your soul rest in peace, may your legacies of laughter, joy and peace that you have imprinted into our hearts live on! Till we meet again Tayo! Sun re O!!!

September 7, 2018

Tayo I never knew February would be the last time to see you on earth while we are having a business proposal regarding my business towards December 2018,here am I in a shock!!!
May the Lord Almighty grant you eternal rest and give us the fortitude to bear the great loss.
Adieu! Adieu!! Adieu!!!

September 7, 2018

Tayo I will forever miss you. You were my brother not a friend. I learnt so much from you growing up. Bellushi as I always call you, you were my hero and mentor and even in death you are still my hero. My heart really pains everytime I think you re no more with us but I find solace in the fact that you re with ur maker. Goodbye Tayo, till we meet to part no more. RIP Bellushi.

September 7, 2018

Tayo Afolabi Odusola. AkA Belushi. In my heart your memory lingers, we are sad within our memory of our hearts today that you laid to rest. I knew you all my life growing up. I knew you always live your life without consequences. I don’t know what to say because i m still in shock. I don’t want to believe that you are gone. Death is only thing that is guaranteed in life. He giveth and taketh. Time slips by and life goes on, but from our hearts you,re never gone. May God continue to guide and protect you mom and families you left behind. May your pretty gentle soul rest in heaven. Sun re o. One and only Ogbeni oja. Love forever

"FRIENDSHIP is like a BOOK. It takes a FEW SECONDS to BURN, but it TAKES YEARS to WRITE" - unanimous

I met Tayo odusola in 1990 through Supotini Milan and since then we had a fantastic bond. A bond that I constantly drew strength and courage from. He was such an amazing guy full of life and never a dull moment! He was a man of high class!! We shared many moments together (both good and bad).
I remember way back, whenever i feel like chilling out from ife campus, all i needed was to get fuel into my benz that will get me to Ijebu. Once in Ijebu i move straight to Tayo's and the rest is history. I always go back to ife buoyant.
I will definitely miss you Tuyota Omo Oluseun Egbogi, ogun ti o je ewe lo ku kon ....sun re o!!!

His Life

DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING?

September 5, 2018

BIOGRAPHY OF ADETAYO AFOLABI OLAITAN ODUSOLA

Adetayo was born Sunday, the 5th July, 1970 in Ijebu-ode to Late Daddy Benjamin Olaniyi Odusola and Mummy Mary Abiola Odusola.

Adetayo was the 4th of six children from mummy's side and 13th of Late Daddy Odusola's children.

Adetayo was raised in an affluent Christian home. He had a privileged upbringing. He was loving, playful and extremely resourceful. He grew up fond of cars and everything that glitters. Late Daddy and his cohorts called him “Mercedes”.

As a kid, Adetayo played fearlessly. As a teenage prince in the Odusola household, he was probably the only one that dared to challenge “The King” (The Late Daddy Odusola), respectfully calling him to order. A true general in his own right from a young age.

Adetayo was protective of his siblings, and extremely humble around them. He was extremely generous and could not care less about giving all he had away.

Like most of Late Daddy Odusola’s children, Adetayo attended a private nursery/primary school, the renowned Sanni Luba. He had a brief stint at Luba secondary before transferring to Mayflower secondary school, where he completed his secondary education with good grades.

He attained his undergraduate qualification at the Osun state college of science and technology Ire, and college of science and technology Esa-Oke respectively.

Having fulfilled an ambition that was in his parents’ best interest. It was time to live his dreams and pursue an ambition he was passionate about.

Adetayo was gifted, a gift Late Daddy Odusola identified in Adetayo’s early years. Daddy described him as a “Budding Merchant”.

Adetayo loved music. He would gather his friends around as kids and together they composed varied genres of music. A couple of years before new edition released a song titled “cool it down” in 1984. Adetayo had a song titled “cool it now”. Music remained his passion all through his life.

Adetayo loved life and fun. Snooky’s was coined out of this. He built a dream where he could earn a living in an environment where music, culture, fun, food, fashion and love was celebrated. Friends gathered daily for Jollof. He was also a great cook. He is credited for having the first exotic snooker lounge in ijebu-ode probably ijebuland.

He would later go on to open Snooky’s Suites.

Adetayo was a people’s man. He valued his friends without prejudice or discrimination.

Again Adetayo valued his family so much that he abandoned the so called “God’s own country” to be near his mother and siblings.

Adetayo was married to his gorgeous wife Tosin (Nee Odulate). The marriage subsisted to the end. Adetayo and Tosin have two beautiful children (son and daughter).

Adetayo answered the glorious call on Friday 31st August, 2018.

Omo ilu meji ni Wesi.

Omo Lege oku.

Omo alu robajo.

Omo Obaruwa Ekewa ilu.

Omo alase lera.

Omo alewi lese.

Omo alaso Kan teru.

Omo bale oko ilu Banta Banta. Omo afowo isu dako.

O fowo ewa joye.

Omo fiwa tan bilisi.

Omo anjuwon ko se wi lejo. Ija ilara o tan boro.

Omo Ajarigbo yeru.

Omo Apena Ola.

Omo Egbomogun ara Ijamo. Omo kukute o se mi.

Eni mi kukute ara re lomi

Adieu Adetayo, Adieu Afolabi, Adieu Gentle Giant….. sleep well….
