I miss your jokes brother.
You shouldn't have gone that way if not for the state of healthcare in Nigeria
Rest in peace!

Dad i think about you every passing day . I doubt it will ever stop. My heart aches for you always. Not been an easy Journey without you if not for God on our side. I try so hard to make sure mum and all my brothers are fine dad but nothing can ever fill the void you left behind. We try everyday to be whom you wanted us to be. I missed you so much yesternight so sad I couldnt just pick up my phone and call you as usual. Rest on my father, Gods beloved. YOU are always in my heart. ALWAYS

Almost a yr since you departed the planet earth for a better one but strangely, I'm yet to come to terms with reality. Seems like a long long dream that would soon end..  We al miss you! As you say jokingly sometimes (pls take care of your mummy) without a good sense that the time was nigh. We will double our hacks and ensure she is happy and lacks nothing by his Grace.

I feel lonely without you dad. The views , the thoughts , the guide and corrections you provided me.....I know I would see you again some day.

You left a legacy that no one can match, you were selfless, loving , caring, lively, adorable, dependable , reliable and formidable. Sleep on good Dad

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

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.

10 YEARS AFTER, WITHOUT MY LOVING DAD

March 24, 2023
by Oluwatosin Oladosu
*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....
my father...

Exactly 9 years ago, the Lord took my dad to be with him. It was indeed a very hard time and the pain was so intense and unbearable! Never thought I could survive those years without you dad! The pain never really goes away...
The Lord has been our strength, helping us through those dark times. He is indeed the father to the fatherless who watches over his own. Thank you Lord for being true to your word!!
Daddy! I, mum & my brothers still feel every bit of the love you showered on us, it's REAL!!! and you gave us more than enough to last us a lifetime. Thank you for showing us TRUE and undiluted love and care, these helped us and still helping us through the years without you. Those beautiful years we spent together are so precious and priceless. We will forever cherish them❤❤❤
You ARE a FATHER like no other, and you are ALIVE in us my handsome, kind hearted, loving and caring daddy! YOU STILL ARE THE BEST OF THEM ALL S.A OJO! 
Maasun Olufe, ko si maa sinmi laya Olugbala re until we meet again dad!
Love you till the end of time!
Your one & only daughter❤ Oluwatosin 

A letter to my father...after 7 years

March 24, 2020
by Tosin Oladosu
Dear loving daddy...Today makes it 7 years you joined the saints..though it still feels like yesterday.. we just can't get over all the love and care you showered on us, it seems you knew there wasn't so much time... 
I remember today, 7 years ago was the day I was supposed to fly down to see you..I called you the night before telling you how much I love and wanting you to get well quick dad...never knew it was the last call..you couldn't even speak clearly but you made sure I knew you heard me...no matter how sick you were you would always pick my calls...
I was really looking forward to seeing you and went to buy you different gifts...Alas! That same morning around 5am, a call came in that changed my life forever... it was a rude shock..my loving father had gone to join the saints the same day I was supposed to travel down...I staggered and screamed!!!! Fear gripped me!! My Pillar, My Strength, My Father.. who showed us unflinching love had left us.. (thank you for showing us JESUS the PILLAR that lives forever) 
I wondered what life will be without you dad..for days, months, years and even now the pain never leaves..it's like a lump in the throat that makes it hard to swallow sometimes, it's also like a little pain in the chest, like a small whole that's empty...which no one can fill daddy!  My love for you is unquantifiable.... you were LOVE personified!! An angel that came to lead us on...showed us the way and led us to Christ! Everyone that came in contact with you felt that love dad! I will forever be grateful for all you did for me, my mum and brothers... we will savor it for life! 
Akanni oninu re, know this, that our love for you is for life even in death!!
Thank you for showing us the meaning of TRUE & UNDILUTED LOVE... Mum has been awesome! continuing from where you stopped.. she's been father and mother praying in all seasons..what a virtuous woman you had for a wife!
Your LEGACY lives on dad! You live on in us!
The GOD you loved so much and committed us to has always been there for us...the Father to Fatherless always got our back!! We indeed see his wonderful works in all areas of our lives...If not for GOD in our lives... 
You were so humble and loving...how can I forget the work you did for the Lord.. going to the church very early to clean and arrange the church before anyone could see you even has a Principal Manager in First Bank....You even bought a megaphone then and will go out early in the morning to preach Jesus in our neighborhood...I see why God called you his BELOVED before you took the bow...You fought a good fight and finished your cause..now you are with the Lord in heaven...that's my only consolation daddy.
ADIEU my father...Loving you is till ETERNITY❤  Maasun laya Olugbala re titi ojo ajinde. We shall surely meet again at the feet of Jesus
Your one & only daughter, Tosin
