Hi Grandpa,

Wow… it’s been 11 years… I still can’t believe it. I feel like it was only yesterday when you were cutting pineapples for me, laughing as I said it was too sour to eat. Our time together was too short… I miss your love and teachings you passed on to me daily. I hope that as you rest, you are assured that I am living accordingly to your wishes and prayers for my future. Rest in power.

Your (first) grandchild,
Blossom

Grandpa,
I can't believe it has been 11 years since you left us. I miss you taking care of me and my sister and I wish you would have gotten to see our little brother. I hope you are taking it easy in heaven.
Your grandkid,
David

Dear father-in-love,

I can’t believe it’s 11 years! You came, you saw and you conquered. You exemplified wisdom, integrity and compassion which shaped our lives in profound ways.

I really missed your advice, love and the fatherly gists.

Rest on Daddy Samuel Akanni Ojo. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Your son-in-love
Anthony Oladosu.

Dear Dad,

It’s been 11 long years but it seems just like yesterday.

Hardly do we speak/discuss as a family in any week without making reference to you - Our most trusted, supportive and super Dad.

Wish we could reverse the hands of time Dad.

It’s quite interesting that even after 10/11yrs, we see you in our dreams and feel your presence; shows how deep our bond is.

I cherish all the days we spent together Dad - all the discussions and trips we made. The love showered on us and the sacrifices you made is second to none.

We love and miss you 

Today Marks the 11th year of departing this sibful world to rest at the Lord's blossom.You have however defeated death by choosing the right part of given everything to Christ at a time when all the luxuries of life of which you never lacked any were fully sacrificed.
Reflecting back at where you worship and the congregation,were great signs of humility and desire to move closer to God which you did.You equally wake up every morning to preach the good news which must have  won so many souls to God.These are some of your good virtues which we pray we too will be able model before we are all equally called to the Lord's blossom.
Keep on resting in the Lord and our player is that all you have left behind (Wife,Children, Brothers and Sisters and extrnded relatives ) Will equally move closer to God,remain in good health,longlife and abundantn prosperity.IJMN.Amen. My warmest regards to our Dad and Mum over there as well.

11years..hmm.. Time flies
Keep Resting Daddy...Always in our hearts.
                  Much Love, Bolu

Babaa mi Akanni!!! The love that keeps on giving even in death!!! Eleven (11) solid years without YOU has been really tough!! The strong PILLAR of the Ojo Dynasty, the shakings were indeed a lot throughout the years knowing you were no longer a phone call or a 12 hour plane flight away! but we continue to take solace in the ALMIGHTY GOD you committed us to before you took the bow.... It's a bit hard to put into words what had transpired in the last 11 years but I just kind of feel that you do see all from heaven where you are with the father praying and shining your love on us!!❤️❤️❤️ We do feel that love strongly dad!! I will never forget your last words to me! I still hold it very dear to my heart 

No one could really fill the spot you left behind, but mom has been so strong being father and mother helping each of us, praying in and out of season!! She is indeed your jewel of inestimable value holding the FORTE and keeping your Dynasty together despite a lot of huddles!!! God has indeed been good to all 6 of us, including our mother!!!

My handsome dad SA OJO, filled with so much love and compassion ❤️  I just keep on wondering what you would have looked like now if you were still here with us You would have aged so well and looking more dapper and more HANDSOME!!

Sincerely, it's not been easy without you, and I always see people that look like you either in stature, their dress sense or sense of humor... how can I ever forget those days you will do some displays and make us laugh so hard to the extent that our tummy hurts...I miss those times, dad! I guess you are making the angels laugh in heaven now!

You're just a very good man and your impact was felt by all!!! It is a great privilege having you as our dad, and we will forever cherish this...yes forever!!!

You know how much I love you dad❤️❤️❤️ even in death! It's so hard to put into words....

Adieu, my father! Adieu the Pillar of the Ojo Dynasty!!! Adieu Samuel Akanni Ojo!!! Maasun laya Olugbala re where there's no more hassles of life!

The song on your FOREVER MISSED site always make me so emotional, It drills so deep into the heart...hmmm oma she oo.. I miss you so much daddy Indeed GONE TOO SOON!!!

Love you for life!❤️ Your one and only daughter... Tosin

A day hardly passed by without remembering you.Thank God your good legacies and hard work remains a role model for us all.Keep resting at the blossom of the Lord Almighty.
May the Lord continue to protect and bless all that you had left behind.IJMN.Amen
Dr Adeshina Ojo.

Your thoughts brings refreshing memories.... so nostalgic! How can I ever forget those years of your care and love, I still relish in it always! I remember when I was serving in Mokwa in Niger state and was sick and sleeping in the Corper's lodge, I thought I was dreaming when I heard your voice in the Corper's lodge...alas my loving and caring dad traveled all the way to come see his only girl! I and mum was still talking about this a few days ago...You are love personified dad, even in death your love is so strong! Everyone that came across you felt that love ❤️ Happy you are celebrating your 73rd birthday with the Angels in heaven! I try to picture your face at 73 my handsome dad you would have aged really well!

Beloved of the Lord, Akanni Ojo!!! You can never be forgotten! NEVER! Love you so much baba mi...Maasun laya Olugbala re titi a o fi pade. Your one and only Oluwatosin

Continue to rest in perfect peace till we meet at the blossom of the Lord .
May the Lord repose your soul and grant you a peaceful eternal rest IJMN Amen.

10 YEARS AFTER.....ADIEU MY FATHER SAMUEL AKANNI OJO ❤

Driving back from work on a cold winter night it dawned on me that my dad who had gone to be with the Lord 10 years ago is never coming back! It's really strange because somehow I neverreally did let go... even after all these years. Strangely, it felt like he was still very much around somewhere and will show up one day! I secretly nurtured this thought..... A deep kind of sadness filled my heart as I realized that I won't be seeing my dad again until the resurrection morning! O death where is thy sting!!!!!

Being alone in the car that cold winter night, i shouted...more like screamed Daddy!!!!!! in agony! You are truly gone!!!!! then I shouted Adieu my loving daddy!!!! ADIEU!!! My heart felt so heavy just like the morning you just left us.

Hmmmm Daddy Tosin! Odigbose!!! Odi Oju ala!!! I could not bring my self to refer to you in past tense all these years cos in my deepest heart, I felt you were still here with us... Daddy Oh Daddy!!! how do I begin to describe you to the whole world A man after God's heart, that loves to please God always! You loved God so deeply, it was so evident! And you did pass on the touch!

His type was rare...He loved so hard! Cared so deeply, and the kindest of all!! It's so hard to get over the love you showered on us your children and our mum even after 10 years!! We still relish that love dad! We talk about you all the time... sometimes its so hard that I feel a lump in my throat and my heart gets so tight that I just burst into tears, while other times the memories brings back nostalgic feelings that makes me want to turn back the hands of time! Sometimes too I, mum and my brothers laugh so hard as we remember those times you make some funny moves, faces and jokes just to make us laugh Your grandchildren also talk about you remembering their early days with you and they miss you a lot... Your memory lives on baba mi. Our home was filled with so much love and laughter when growing up. Who will not love a dad or grand-dad like you who is so loving and caring and above all loves God!!! No wonder God called you his beloved before you took the bow!! You were indeed love personified! Your family and all that knew you felt that love, so much.....

SA Ojo it's been 10 solid years without you but we still feel that love you showered on us because you gave us more than enough that will last us a lifetime... you were so so intentional, as if you knew your time with us won't be long! You committed us into the hands of our heavenly father and showed us that he is the father to the fatherless that will always be there to take care of us. Indeed God has been faithful dad! Christ has been our solid rock!

I'm sure you'll be proud of us all if you were still here with us. I and my brothers all turned out well just like you prayed dad! Makes me remember those night vigils we had in our living room and the various teachings just to prepare us for the future and the world at large... just as if you knew you wont be here much longer! Psm 46 was our family's word, we recited it every single day!!! It's still working for us dad! Our mum is also doing great as the husband to the widow has indeed been there for her. Never knew mum was that strong until you left and carried on where you stopped! She's been father and mother, prayerfully guiding us through life and being there for us all 6 children!! I do really admire her strength!!!

Dad, 10 years after, our love for you even continues to wax stronger... no one could fill that vacuum you left behind, the kind of love you shared with us was so rare, except through the father you committed us to. We are grateful dad for all you did and how you and mum taught us that Jesus Christ is our all in all!!!

Keep on enjoying heaven dad! You were a good good man!! And you can never be forgotten... Our children would tell their own children about your love and care... Our generation will forever remember how loving you were...

Looking forward to seeing you on the resurrection morning dad.. You know I'm your girl and my love for you is till eternity❤

Olufe, maa sun laya Olugbala re.... I lay a flower and light a candle for you dad 

*ADIEU MY FATHER ADIEU. 10 YEARS AFTER*

Your first and only daughter Tosin ❤❤❤❤

You are always in my heart ❤ Happy blessed birthday in heaven Samuel Akanni Ojo... always in my heart... always!!! Sleep on dad... missing you is an understatement.

Can't believe its 9years already. We remember you today as always Dad and our comfort is that you are in a better place. We miss you and cherish every moment we spent with you Dad.

May your dear soul continue to RIP. Love you.

Darling Sam,
        Just like a dream, it 9years today, that you answer the call of your Creator to rest from the struggling and troubles of this world of sin. I and your children do always remember you and talk of the little moment we spent together and your memory lingers. The time is unforgettable and incomparable, when we think of the
love and care you showed.
But, we give thanks to Unstoppable God,the Everlasting Father who watches over us every second. He is our refuge and fortress. We shall always trust and hold on to Him:for He is our strength and shield. 
I can't but think of you daily.
  We missed you a lot.
Sleep on my love and rest in the bosom of your Saviour.
         Good night till we meet to part no more.
            Your loving wife,
             Bola Akanni Ojo.

I light a candle for you dad on the day you left this world 9 years ago. Where did ithe time go?? I wondered how we survived all these years if not for the father to the fatherless you committed us to. You are indeed a good man, loving and so caring. How can i forget such love?

Sleep on dad, until we meet again.

Love you till the end of time.

Olufe maasun laya Olugbala re❤❤❤

Happy posthumous birthday dear dad. You were such a good man that gave your all for everyone. You were brave, kind and lived as a true soldier of Christ.
We miss and love you dad. Till we meet to part no more

Happy posthumous birthday dear dad. You were such a good man that gave your all for everyone. You were brave, kind and lived as a true soldier of Christ.
We miss and love you dad. Till we meet to part no more

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!! Oh how much i miss you on this special day that you were born to this world! You would have been 71 today dad! Happy posthumous birthday to the greatest dad that ever lived! My handsome, kindhearted, loving and caring dad! I miss your love and care every single day!

I know you now sing with the Angels and watching over us. Thanks for all you did for us when you were here with us dad, it has really formed us into who we are today!
I still feel your love every single day! You indeed showered us with more than enough!

Can't just stop loving you daddy! Loving you is indeed forever❤❤

Your one and only daughter. Oluwatosin

Keep resting dad. Happy birthday in heaven.
Always in my heart

Hello dad! Happy posthumous birthday. You would have been 71yrs today but you sure are in heaven singing with the angels.

We miss you everyday and will meet at Jesus’s feet when the role is called up yonder.

We love love you and will always do.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace Dad. You would have marked your 70th this year but alas were taken early. 

8 years without you around is like living without a limb. A lot has happened globally as you can see. We would have discussed the globally politics, Nigerian politics and issues in the financial services industry.

We would have discussed our challenges, shared the good news and our successes.

When we hear people celebrate 100, we wonder why you were not one of the clique.

We try to stay strong just for you as that is what you would have desired. But behind every strong muscle is a thin/fragile vein.

We continue to push hard in the current clime irrespective of the turbulence across all divide. We have extended our base to other regions and taken on new challenges. We are blessed to have you as a Father and lucky to have your dear wife as our mother.

We would live within the Godly tenets you exposed us to and continue to make you proud.

We miss you and cherish all the memories we shared.

May Gods grace continue to abound until we meet in Gods chosen paradise.

Dad! Sleep on. As I am too emotional to express myself. Tears were already building up as I drove to work today. 8 years like last night. I just wish you were still around. But I take solace in the fact that you're resting with your saviour. You also left us with psalm 46:1- ff. " God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Therefore will we not fear , though the earth be removed .... You thought us well ; mum and my other siblings I'm sure they can all recite this by heart. That was a weapon stronger than a thousand of weapons. We love you, will continue to love you. Sleep on till we meet at the feet of Jesus. I really really really love and miss you dad. You know I do . Now I'm soaked in tears. Good night dad.

Continue to rest in perfect peace dad!!
We miss and will continue to miss you. ❤️

My dearly darling husband, it's eight years today that you left this sinful world without saying goodbye. Life without you has never been the same. You will always be loved for God the God fearing man you were and the blessing and treasure you were to all who new you.
Kind and caring husband you gave your best to all around you. Your love in my heart,l will eternally keep till we meet to part no more.
Ma sun olufe ko si ma simi. Gbori le aya Olugbala re. A fe o sugbon Jesu fe o ju.
   Sunre -- Sunre -- Sunre .Adieu.
       Your loving wife. Bola Akanni Ojo.

Daddyyy!!!! 8 long years without you!!! I so miss your voice, i miss our chats, texts. Looks like the missing is going to be until i get to see you again in heaven. Sun re oooo laya olufe re Your only daughter. Lots of love daddy mi

Hmmm how do i begin to put to words your love in my heart dad. I can't believe i've lived 8 long years without hearing your voice. I, mum and my brothers miss you sooo very much daddy! It sometime feels like a dream that you've really gone baba mi Akaani hoping to wake up from the long sleep.

Your time with us wasn't too long but it was filled with so much love that will definitely last us a lifetime dad. I still swim in that love you showered on us dad. It was as if you knew you wouldn't stay with us for too long. You were indeed a loving father who always wanted the best for your children. Thank you so much for all you did for us. We will eternally cherish it.

Baba mi Akanni sun re oooo laya Olugbala re ✝️. Happy you are in a great place with the Lord where there's no more issues of life. Really looking forward to when i will see you again dad. Always missing you❤ Love you❤

Daddy oh Daddy! You would have been 70 today and there would have been a celebration for you! But i believe you are celebrating in heaven with the Angels! Happy posthumous birthday my darling father. The void you left can never filled for sure. We've just learned to live with that pain of you not being here❤ Today i celebrate you Samuel Akanni Ojo, keep on resting in the bosom of the Almighty until we see again. Love you very very much and missing you❤

Happy Posthumous birthday Dad.. 

Dad, Time flies, words are never enough. Keep resting. Happy 70th birthday in heaven.

Dear Grandpa,
I can’t believe that you’re really gone.
It feels like just yesterday that I had to leave Nigeria. To leave you.
I never imagined in a million years it would have been my last time to see you.
I miss you.
I love you.
- Your granddaughter

Grandpa,
We miss you so dearly. Rest in heaven with the Lord and enjoy yourself. We will always remember you and all you have done for us.
                                 Love, David

Dad,

In 2020, I’ve mentioned you in conversations over 50 times. Even though I smile during these engagements, I feel an inner pain. 7 seasons indeed has passed – 7 New Year celebrations without you. What a World!

You did your very best, gave your all and indeed prepared us for life. Life on earth and Life in Christ what more is required to sustain a living?

As the world continues to evolve, we are able to draw from the oil of grace, the love we share and your teachings to walk through.

We all wish you were here in the flesh to listen to our interesting stories and we listen to your terrific advice.

Thank you Dad for everything. We miss you dearly.

Exactly 7 years ago dad you left this sinful world.. the night before I was on the phone with you and told you I love you (still in the present) and was leaving the US to come see you the following day in Nigeria. You were really sick and couldn't speak clearly but you made me know you heard me... Dad!! I had already packed my suitcase with some gifts I bought you.. I had been fasting and praying for God's mercies so you could be well again!

I woke up on the 24th of March, exactly 7 years ago.. the same day I was supposed to board my flight to Nigeria..Suddenly i heard the phone ring around 5am.. I wondered who could call that early. Lo and behold it was my immediate younger brother. As soon as I heard his voice, I asked if all was ok at home... he then asked to speak with my husband.. fear gripped me when I heard a noise from my husband; he had not even talked when i lost balance and staggered, he jumped up to hold me while confirming the worst fear ever that dad had joined the saints!! I felt my world collapsed around me, I went dumb for a second then I screamed!!!!

Daddy!!! Our pillar, our strength had gone to be with the saints. How heartbroken I was... i felt so lost! in my wildest dream I never thought you could leave at a tender age of 62 years.. I thought I had many years with you on earth! Several thoughts went through my mind, how do I cope without him? There's no day we've not talked or chatted since I left Nigeria. My love for you dad is unquantifiable... I thought about mum and my brothers and the message you sent me before you left made absolute sense.

It hasn't been easy dad, even after these long 7 years but the God you committed us to has never let us down. Anytime I call him the father to the fatherless I see HIM move instantly. He's been there all the way. He has brought joy to me again in the same month you departed and I will forever be grateful!

Ever loving and ever caring dad, how I miss those love and care you showered on me... how you showed us the way of the Lord and how you taught us kindness and love towards others... YOUR LEGACY lives on dad! And you live on in each and everyone of us.

Your wife really misses you but we try to make her feel okay at all times. Indeed she has been our rock since you left, praying for us relentlessly.

I love you so much dad, and I've come to realize that missing you is actually forever...the ache doesn't really disappear.

The BELOVED of God...Maasun laya Olugbala re Baaba mi Akanni Ojo. We shall surely meet again at the feet of Jesus.

Adieu my father...your one and only daughter

Love Always❤

Dear dad, We miss you each passing day.

Rest on in the bosom of our Lord Jesus , where we would meet to part no more. Where all of life’s struggles will have no form of relevance. We love you , we miss you so very very dearly. Keep resting in the lord dad. It’s 7 years and still feels like yesterday. The pain and hurt is fresh each passing day. We can only take solace in the fact that there is a balm in gilead. Christ is the one who gives the balm in. Good night daddy. Good night again.

This I'd to remember our brother and head of the Ojo Abobarin family of Erinmo Ijesa who would have turned 69 years today.

Surely you have beautifully reproduced yourself in your children and siblings by your selfless sacrifices. Your love the Lord in a practically way without religion; and you always cast burdens upon him in prayers.

But looking back at your last few days,you fought death and didn't want to die that soon,; but God,knows better.
Therefore continue to rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ where we meet to path no more.
May the good Lord continue to wate and strengthen your wife children and siblings in a special way. Amen
Segun Ojo

Daddy Oh Daddy! You would have been 69 years today! And it will be 7 years in 2 weeks that you left us at a young age of 62... how we miss you! Still feels like yesterday and no time can actually take away the pain of missing you.. sometimes at work I get lost in thought about those good old days when we talk about everything! Even when I traveled to the US, there was no day we didn't text or hear each other's voices! Baba mi Akanni I can't just seem to get over your leaving us...still like a dream to me, a dream that's never ending! You were so caring, loving and kind not just to us your family but to everyone you came across!

YOU are such a wonderful man! An angel that came our way and showed us enough love to last us a lifetime not knowing your time with us was going to be short.

We all love you daddy! The God you entrusted us to has really been good to us. I, mum and my brothers are all doing awesome though we miss those fatherly advice you always give us. But sincerely the father to the fatherless has been good to us.

Sleep on my kind and loving father and happy postbirthday to you! Love you too much!❤❤

Dearest, it's exactly 6yrs today that you left me and your children without saying goodbye. The wound is still fresh in our hearts .l think of you every second. But we take solace in Jesus Christ, the pillar that holds us. He's been there for us and has proven that all power belongs to Him as we hold steadfastly on Him and trust in His atoning power. Ma sun Olufe ko si ma simi, gbori le aya Olugbala re. A fe o sugbon Jesu fe o ju, sunre sunre sunre. ........Goodnight till we meet to part no more.
Your love, Adebola.

A Letter to Heaven
Dad,
You bade farewell exactly 6 years ago.. You came, you saw, you conquered and left a lasting legacy.
We have tried to remain strong in your absence but how strong can we be without your presence! While we hold on to the substance of our faith and hope of salvation, one question that remains unanswered which I envisage still throbs the heart of many is " why early?"
Clearly, this Pain cannot go away. It's a 'special pain' Yes I repeat again.. It is indeed a special pain as it left a deep scar in our heart.
We remain grateful for the time we spent together; the opportunity to learn from you, your act of love and the discipline instilled in us.
Keep resting in the Bosom of the Heavenly Father till we meet to part no more.
We Love you..

Dear loving dad ! It’s six years without you, your words of solace , guidance and encouragement. Your absence is felt each passing day. Wish you were here with us to still put us through life’s struggles and challenges, wish we could turn back the hands of time , wish you could still pick the phone call to say hello, wish life could be fairer than this , wish we still had that shoulder to lean on. But thank God for the Holy Spirit , the comforter of truth , thank God for mercy and his favor, we wouldn’t have survived 6 years without you. It still feels like yesterday.....I had called you for a gist forgetting you can’t pick calls no more. At this moment our emotions are heavy. However , we take solace in the fact that you’re resting in the bosom of Jehovah where we would meet to part no more. As you taught us that’s : those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. We have been walking in obedience , knowing our God .....we have been doing exploits. Sleep on dad till we meet to part no more.

6 years just like yesterday dad! Can't believe i haven't heard your voice in 6 whole years!! My love for you is eternal daddy. I do really miss you... keep on resting with the Lord! We thank the father to the fatherless who has always been there for mum and us the children. We love you but Christ loves you more.
Your exit is still very painful
Love you always
Your one and only daughter
Oluwatosin ❤

Rest on Daddy. I met you twice but the words we shared those two times were always in my heart. I also thank God I was privileged to be part of those that paid you last respect.Obviously you were a loving Father. Rest on sir. Till we meet to part no more. Your Son inlaw's friend. Leke.

Happy posthumous birthday daddy. Its still like a dream that you are no longer here with us. We love and miss you greatly. Continue to rest in the bottom of the Lord

Continue to rest in heaven, miss you Dad

I share the same Birthday with your Father. May his soul continue to Rest In Peace. Amen.

I actually saw you in my dream 2 nights ago... but i really miss seeing you in real life my father. My love for you is eternal dad!!! Missing you is every single day!! Your only daughter Oluwatosin
