Happy birthday bro, been dreading today since forever, the sense of loss is so acute. Am sure you celebrating ... hmmmm if that's how it works over there.

Bro you are missed terribly by Lamide and the girls and it tears my heart out... the family missing you as well but can't be compared to Your immediate family. I still keep wanting to pick up the phone to gist with you, catch up and update you etc and then the constant realization that I can't hits me like a bad blow.

Will this pain ever go away?
Will we ever stop missing you?
Will we heal from your loss, ?

These are things that constantly go through my mind, I stare at your pictures over and over and shake my head In complete disbelief. Oh lord, help us and strengthen us. Amen

I woke up this morning to email alert from birthday alarm (as if I need a reminder), and to a text from your bank in Nigeria wishing you a happy birthday, and then re-reading Lamides birthday message on her bbm dp, and the tears just flows....

Ahmedooo,
May you rest in perfect peace.
My Heart and Prayers go out to your wife and children.
Still lost for words.

Gbolade Egberongbe

I just found out about Ahmed passing on and words cannot fully convey the shock, heartache and utter devastation that the news brought me.

Ahmed was a friend and I pray that God in His Mercy will grant him eternal rest in His loving bosom. To his family I'd like to pray for God to comfort you in your time of loss and let you know that you can take some little solace in knowing that Ahmed left impact on every life he touched.

I want to keep writing as the memories flood back.....all those times you popped into my mind, I wish I'd known that you were ill.....I will NEVER forget you.

Bro Ahmed, am sure words will fail me,in expressing how i feel about the new of your sudden departure.
You showed me a lot of things within the few months and year i knew you...
I learned a lot I didn't know... to always forgive and be kind to everyone,
But you forgot to teach me one last thing....How to let you go, of someone as precious as YOU!

I know you didn't mean to leave so early, as you still watched my back few months back in cape town, South Africa.
I will miss being your Naija Fashion Designer and a brother... Who You fondly Call me....
Hearing my name being called by your voice and Patronizing My Craft, I wish I got to say "Thanks You For being My Best Client"
Before you were given to the sky,
If God could grant me one last wish I'd ask to say....
"Good Night My Brother... Till We Meet Again.

GOD KNOWS The BEST AND...."HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST"

AMAO, AdeKunle Daniels -

Earth has one gentle soul less, Heaven one Angel more.

Rude shock still it is Ahmed from the fateful day I heard of your demise till now. It will surely take a while to come to terms with your demise as it seems you have embarked on a journey whilst a sudden arrival of you is expected. Indeed you have gone on a journey earlier than reckoed to a beautiful paradise where we shall all visit someday at an appointed time. Memories of your pleasant, fun personality lingers and I pray the God of comfort to uphold , sustain and comfort the young family you left behind and your siblings in Jesus powerful name. I will miss your teasing me by calling me names such as 'Alhaja' at reunions and looking out for me to make sure I got a ride home safely. Adieu dear friend & brother till resurrection day!

Bro Ahmed,
I sincerely wish I didn't have to do this. You left too early but who are we to question God. I remember meeting you back in 1996 when we first moved to England You were Yetunde''s voltron then and always fiercely protected her. Didn't like you then(lol), but early on into the years I came to respect you and understand that it was all from a position of love.
I thank God for your life, I thank God you gave your life to Christ, I thank God for your beautiful wife Lamide and the twins, I thank God for Yetunde, Baba and Habib and all the family and loved ones you left behind. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace

Brother Ahmed, 'egbon' as I call you! So this is it??? I'm still struggling to comprehend this! I bless God for bringing us together and knowing each other. I pray God continues to bless your sleep till we meet again!
Lots of love,
Iretidayo

Don Lorenzo Abdul-salam, i cant question God Almighty, you left without replying me or picking my calls for months. i still cant get over it cause it came to me has a shock. Lorenzo you were a brother to me, i learnt a lot from you. You were there for me at all times. i will ever be grateful.
Who will i call Monkey again has we call ourselves that name?
Ahmed Adewale Rest in Perfect Peace
Baba Ibeji I will miss you
My Brother My Friend Adieu

Death be not proud, for those thou thinks't thou dost overthrow, die not. Bro Ahmed you will forever remain in our hearts; I was so confused,angry and sad when I heard the news. How could death be so rude and unfair to just snatch you away from us; we take solace at the thoughts that you are in a better place.

Just about a year ago I visited you and your family in the U.K and you were such a cool, calm and extremely caring person, I did not know that would be our last moment together; I am only left with those memories as I keep replaying it in my head over and over again.

You left way too soon but Bro Ahmed you are awake eternally in the bossom of the almighty God.

Bro Ahmed...May your incredibly selfless and loving soul rest in perfect peace. I am still shocked but after all said and done we know that God gives and takes away, I can only submit that your soul was far too beautiful for this wicked world, now you live amongst angels where you truly belong. We will miss you very much and we love you.
Sleep on beautiful soul...your memory lingers on.
Tope & Lanre Kuku

Though I never met you, the outpouring of emotions here is a testament of what a great father, husband and brother you were. Rest in perfect peace Mr Ahmed. To the family he left behind, I say take heart and God will surely protect you all and give each and everyone of you the fortitude and strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
Adieu Ahmed.

Ahmed, you have left us with fond memories that will last till eternity. God in his infinite wisdom knows best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Ahmed, it has been real tough for me to come to terms with your sudden demise..just remembering our growing up days as neighbors, schoolmates and good friends bring back teary smiles. I know you have gone to a better place and also re-assured that our God will always keep your family under his amazing grace. I will miss you bro. Continue to Rest in Peace. Adieu Ahmed (aka Edi Amala)

I am currently speechless !!!
I can't find the right words to say at the moment other than to pray for the family Ahmed ledt behind.

May the Almighty God bless and see Ahmed''s family through this very tough time.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Ahhhh Ahmed !!!!
You would surely be missed.

Brother Ahmed

It breaks my heart to know this happened to you, in the last month of your passing I was always talking about you, I called your phone, sent a text, called lamide sent her a text too no response.. told Deji drive me down to Luton, at least when you see me at your doorstep you won't send me back...little did I know that you were in the hospital fighting to stay Alive.. I only met you few years ago and I can say that you are one of the nicest people I know, cool calm and collected, Deji speaks highly of you and I love you the way He loved you..(HE still finds it hard to believe you are gone)....

Brother AHMED!!!! NO FAREWELL words were spoken, No time to say goodbye.. You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why?.. Our heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flows........ What it means to lose you..No one ll ever know...

Please keep watch over Lamide and your sweet little girls

ONLY GOD CAN COMFORT THEM N GIVE THEM PEACE.

TRIBUTE TO MY DEAR COUSIN

  I’m bereaved, confused, and deep in agony and pains. This is very painful. Why did this happen to my darling cousin/brother now? Not at this time at all. Loss of a loved one is not an easy thing to comprehend.
  Ahmed was a very special, quiet and a nice person that always had sweet gentle smile on his face which was accompanied by his cheerful laugh. My dearest cousin was a very calm, caring, honest, respectful, careful, mature, diligent and a wise gentleman. He was a darling person that everyone would want to be around. He was a person that loved, and cared about others and made other people’s happiness and problems a priority rather than his own happiness as a priority. All this and many more makes me and our entire family know your worth.

  Although people do say “we don't value what we have until we lose it”, but not in your own case my darling cousin. Myself and our entire family know your worth while you were alive and even when you have passed away. We are greatly missing you.

  Ahmed was a good person with wonderful personalities and this will last a lifetime. You accepted others without looking at their weaknesses and always noticed the best in people. You have a heart that forgives the worst, the mind that forgets the bad situations and the soul that never lose faith or cause pains for people and that is who you were.

  My dearest cousin, you have passed away too soon. I will remember you often in different thousand ways that I cannot begin to mention at this sensitive period. Your life was a blessing to everyone around you, you memory will be a treasure. You have been loved by everyone beyond words. Sincerely, you will be miss greatly beyond measure. “Those we love can never be more than a thought away…… for as long as there is a memory, they live in our hearts to stay”. I thank God for your special gift of forgiveness and gentle heart which will linger in my memory forever. A well spent life with unique qualities that you had was priceless and incomparable.

  My heart broke when I heard about your untimely exit. It was a huge challenge that is very difficult for all of us to handle. It is a big blow for me and every member of our family. Though, I still can't believe that you are no more. Well I will take heart because I cannot continue to question God. Your death create a huge vacuum that will take me and our entire family years to fill. At this time my prayer is that the lord will give us all the strength to face whatever situation we are in at this mourning period of our loved one.
  Also, our greatest comfort in this grief period is to know that the almighty God is in control of everything. Though my heart still hurts each time I think of my cousin that had a good heart towards everyone, but I never knew that it was indeed a great privilege of reunion with him last year. I keep on weeping; water keep on rolling from my eyes so much that I will never be able to see him again in life. Lord you know better than I do and I strongly believe that he had gone to a much better place. Rest in perfect peace. I will miss you and think about you still, I will never forget you my dearest cousin. I love you always. Sun re o my darling cousin.

Ahmed I cannot express how I feel. You were a very special person to me and my family. Every day I wake up and it’s like a dream to me that you’re no longer with us. One thing I will always remember is your kind heart and selflessness, which has always shone through, always available to help people, with a smile on your face. At our last conversation, you said, “All will be well”. ...... But the scripture says we should not weep like men without faith. And we can't question God either but we should be rest assured, you are in a safe place and resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I will miss you so much and I pray that the Lord Almighty will grant you eternal rest.

Much Love,

Femi Kuku

Ahmed we love you,no words can express the shock of your exist, but God loves you more, and will keep all those that are yours. Sleep well brother.

Ahmed thank you for the opportunity to be your friend. I wasn't going to write anything but have decided to encourage someone as well as myself. I thank God and our Lord Jesus Christ for our friendship from 1988 I remember how we use to steal your dads vbooth car and drive within Alaka estate some days I will have to walk from Alaka estate back to onike. Your gentleness amd calmness kai and oh your generosity even on my trip in 2914 you still insisted on blessing me with some clothing's. I love you with the love of a brother I thank God for your life your were a blessing to me in every way friend confidante . I will miss you my ore Stata rest in peace to meet at the master Jesus feet hallelujah.

My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to your family.
May you find comfort with God and rest in peace.

You were gone before we knew it ,only God knows why.If love alone could save you, you never would have gone.In life we loved u dearly.In death we love you still.It broke our hearts to loose you but i know you are in a better place.

Uncle Ahmed.........May your gentle soul rest in peace

My dear Baba oko ( as I would fondly call you) what can I say .. My heart is heavy and I am grief stricken. The quintessential gentleman, who always had a kind word. Ever gentle and so calm. There is no doubt that your departure has left a huge vacuum. We take solace knowing that you have gone to a better place. Sun re o Baba Ibeji.

When I heard of Ahmed passing, I was in shock for days. I have never cried so much in my life. I have tried to put into words how I feel about Ahmed and can't still find it. Ahmed was a great man and a selfless human being who is willing to help anyone. I remember one his kindness gestures when he offered to go and visit someone in detention with me. He spent his money and time to help us out. I am missing him so much and I wish I have more time with you. Allah knows best. He his the givet and the taket. Who are we to question him. May your soul rest in perfect peace and may Allah continue to guide your wife and your children . Sun re o. Till we meet again.

Rest in peace sir. I don't knw u frm Adam but going thru msges left by frnds and family, ur absence wl b felt for a long tym. May Allah give them all the strength to carry on in gd health wealth and of a sound mind. May ur girls find favour frm God and Frm the sons of man. Slp well sir. Amen.

My mentor,my daddy(truly you are not my biological father but you always acted like a father and gave me all what could be given to a daughter)My adviser and shelter(even you are far away from me but you never make me feel it for a day,when am not online you find means of chatting me up through my sis phone,you do tell me it might be stormy today but believe me it will not last longer).After my mummy you are number one in my life who make me whom I am today,being a graduate is through you because I followed every steps you asked me to took and with the support of your wonderful wife(who usually called me my first born)I don't know my last chat with you will be April until I got the news on May 17th that you are no more I cried out loud because the only person that understand me has gone I prayed to GOD to give u second chance of life because no fatherly love again .i shouted my daddy has gone, no more care,gisting,nobody to express how I am feeling to(he promised me saying busola soon u will know my place in London) my mouth can't expressed how good he has shown me even when am not his biological daughter. you are gone I will still be the first daughter you usually called me(still like a dream until I heard the date he will be buried I knew am not dreaming that he has gone). I will forever miss you my daddy .i love you but can't question GOD why he took you so earlier. YOU WILL FOREVER LIVE IN MY HEART.RIP daddy

I use to call you Baba awon ibeji, am short of words........ Hmmm I missed u so much, I can't stop crying.... May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Tribute to my Husband. Adewale Ahmed Adeokun...from your dear wife.

Adewale mi, you meant the world to me, you completed me,you were my rock. Although our marriage was brought to an abrupt end by death, our years together were joyful. You were my best friend.

I want to say a big thank you to all the friends and family members for the outpouring of love over the past few weeks. It's been extraordinary and each story you have shared will keep Ahmed alive in our hearts and memories.

I met my Husband over 12 years ago. His gentleness and kindness won my heart over. We would have been celebrating our 10th year wedding anniversary this year if death hadn't snatched him away at such a young age. We had our fair share of challenges in our marriage, from waiting on God for children for several years to losing both our parents. It was all bearable because I had him by my side.He gave me the experience of being deeply understood, truly supported and completely and utterly loved. I will carry that with me always.

Most importantly, he gave me the two most amazing, beautiful and adorable children in the world.

He hardly got upset, always quick to reassure me that all would be well. Where I was unsure, he figured it out. He was completely in love with our twin girls. He called them his "princesses". We had so many plans together. All he wanted to do was to make us happy and comfortable.

As we put you to rest, we are burying only your body, your spirit,your soul,your amazing ability to give is still with us, it lives on in the stories people are sharing of how you touched their lives, your spirit lives on in the love that is visible in the eyes of our family and friends, in the spirit of your children.

Things will never be the same, but the world is a better place for the years my beloved husband lived.
Sleep well my love, Till we meet to part no more.

Luv always.
Your "my baby".

Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

My friend Lorenzo,ore mi timo timo Adewale,ore mi atata Ahmed.Omo arojo joye,ara orokun ara o ro adiye,omo ohun o n se ni oyonyonyo,oyoyo mayomo,ohun seni olepani,marokanto eye matilo,omo moni isunle mamalobe,omo onigbo ma'de,omo onigbo mawo mawo.Sun re o

Ahmed is a nice man and it shows. Everyone has something nice to say about him and his big heart.
How do we make sense of all the pains we go through as part of life? The pain we feel when we lose someone is proof of love. If it were not for love, there would be no pain. Ironic isn’t it? But yes. If I didn’t have love for him it wouldn’t hurt me that he’s gone. Pain is probably the greatest teacher that proves that love really does exist, has been, and will forever be the reason and essence of our existence, here and beyond.The human journey always ends at some point.Ahmed's story will not end with his passing. May acceptance of Ahmed's passing come with peace and understanding

I'm heart sore in unison with the heart of the family - no friends,Ahmed made families of friends that he made.I pray for his soul as he finds eternal love,rest and light.

This is our human experience. This is what love feels like.

Our beloved uncle Ahmed it shatters me that on this day I should be typing a condolence message to you rather than chatting with you about celebration and baby plans which was what we mostly talked about in the last days of your life.

The min I heard you passed it was a major break down for me, they say you cannot question God because he knows best but i still struggle to make sense of this loss. As I type this its with tears in my eyes as memories of discussions and times we shared together flood my mind

As everyone has confirmed you were a great encourager. You encourage and reassured me at different times in my life, from relationship topics to career path to even the last month I saw you and also gisted with you over the phone in April . You encouraged me about my driving and advised what to do , you also checked up on me to know how I was keeping while pregnant and I know you looked forward to seeing your niece.

O well it's a girl we had and she's really beautiful but you didn't wait to meet her, she missed you by days. As she grows I'll show her pictures of you and tell her stories of her great uncle.


Your peaceful , gentle , warm hearted personality is a legacy that will never be forgotten . I love you uncle

Rest well

Chichi Adeokun

I have been in and out of this page so many times not sure if I should write anything because part of me is still expecting you to call me or text me Ahmed, i miss you so much.....I met you over 16 years ago through a secondary school classmate and you and I just clicked like that.... You called me Kemi Lembe(Only you could call me that), as I type this tribute my hands are shaking, my heart is racing because I feel like I should be telling you this verbally. You were my friend,my bestie, you were always a phone call away, you were always there for the children and I. I never felt like a lone parent because you were always there for us, you would call to find out how your children are, you would always invite us to all your family parties, I felt like part of the Adeokuns and Kukus family. You loved my children like they were yours, you encouraged to drive on the motor way, you were my mobile sat nav, always telling me what what speed limit I should be on, landmarks to look out for....I could be myself around you, I remember anytime you invite to parties and I tell you I can't make it because I won't be able to drink and drive, you would offer to come and pick me up and drop me at home so that I can enjoy myself(who does that)? Only you AHMED. We had plans o AHMED, we said we'll go on holidays together with our children, you said you'd take Tolu to watch is first match at the stadium.
Breaking the news to the children was the hardest thing, Morenike understands but I don't think Tolu does, when I told him he said ' so who is going to take me to the stadium now' ? That broke my heart because you were his role model, Tolu always wants to look " smart" like Uncle Ahmed, every time I buy shoes and clothes for him, he would sometimes ask if Uncle Ahmed has the same thing, every time he dresses up he would ask to take a picture and send it to you. Some years ago when we came to Luton and he saw you bouncing a ball on the wall and you told him it was your stress ball, he asked me to buy one for like because Uncle Ahmed has one.

The children love you so much the call Lamo "Aunty Ahmed". You and I go waaaaaay back, plenty fun memories,we have been through sad and happy times together, you were more than a friend to me, you were my brother, you did everything to make me happy. I remember nights that I would want to go out and you would come and take me out just because you wanted to see me happy, I miss you much it hurts Ahmed but I have told Lamo that I have gained a sister and two beautiful nieces and I will help her bring them up not only to know God but to serve God because I know that is what you would want. I love you Ahmed I love so much and the children and I miss you but we know that you are happy where you are and God's got you.

Thank you so much for everything, for being my bestie, my brother, a role model to my son for making me happy and always making me smile, for reassuring me that I can do anything that I put my mind me to, for loving the children and I, for accepting me for who and what I am, you will always be my bestie forever.... Sun re o Brother Ahmed.

Ahmido (as I fondly called you). No words of eulogy can articulate to your girls (I include your wife here) the sort of person you were, (pains me and brings tears to my eyes to refer to you in the past tense!). I really pray that your girls and loved ones in the fullness of time will come to realise the special, selfless, humble, decent, unassuming, brave, self-deprecating person you were.

You faced your challenges with stoic determination, and bravery. Ahmido, I remember you coming over to England well over 20years ago for the yearly summer holidays with your Dad and siblings. You were unassuming and quietly confident as a kid with a sanguine disposition. You gave what you had freely. Last time I saw you was in September, when you came round my house, little did I know, that will be the last time.

We often over use the phrase "he/she has no bad bone.." However in your case, Ahmido, it does not do justice to the kind of guy you were. The word Angel is another word we tend to over use... Again it pains me to realise I was unable to fully appraise, the sort of person you were. It took your passing on into Glory to realise you were one of a kind.

There are too many examples of your selflessness, your humility, your decency, your positive disposition and your duty of care and genuine love as a family man, husband, father, cousin, brother and friend.

I pray your light continues to shine brightly and be a beacon to your Wife (Lamide), the Twins, your siblings, your family and friends.

Adieu My Brother. RIP
Wole Oke.

My dear brother, i will surely miss you. U were always there for me anytime I needed a big brother touch. Continue to Rest in Peace

Uncle I still can not believe and finding it very hard to comprehend. But I choose to remember your big smile, kind heart , big hugs and selflessness.

I thank God for the wonderful childhood memories which I will never forget!!

It's an absolute privilege to call you my uncle. You have made a massive impact on my life and you will never be forgotten.

Miss you.

I am yet to come to the reality that you're gone Ahmed......I'm still lost for words. Not enough words to describe the tears of the heart. May God Almighty give your loved ones you've left behind the strength and fortitude to bear the loss. They will miss you. We will miss you, I will miss you. Adieu Ahmed.........you will always be remembered.

I don't really know you but I know you were loving, caring and a generous man to your wife-my friend as well. I know u are at peace with the lord sitting beside the angels. You actually left to prepare that holy place before hand but all the same may your soul rest in perfect peace and do guide the people you left behind.we shall always remember you in our prayers..sleep well!

Life oh Life!! So sorry to hear such sad news! May ur gentle soul rest in d bosom of d Almighty. May he grant ur loved ones solace n fortitude to bear such a huge loss! Sun re o!!

You are greatly missed . Rest In Peace Dear Brother.

GOD GIVETH AND GOD TAKETH, MAY YOU SOUL CONTINUE TO REST IN THE BOSSOM OF THE LORD AND MAY THE GOOD LORD GIVE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FORTITUDE TO BEAR THE LOSS. SLEEP ON AHMED. INA LAHI WA INA LAHI RAJIUN.

Hmmmm, Ahmed Adeokun. Still a very rude shock, not what I was expecting to hear when my brother called me from London that faithful morning! We only reconnected a few months ago when I joined the ISL forum. I was shocked to find out he still remembers my friends and I so vividly. ( Ahmed of Africa, ...... Of Africa) His nicknames back in ISL. God almighty knows best. Rest in perfect peace Ahmed.
