Bro. Akin. You stand out in a million.
You impacted my life and ministry in most unique way. Your heart for others and commitment to God is second to non. You shall be missed by those you sheared your knowledge and ideas with. Your humility and courage in the face of hopelessness are worthy of emulation.Good night my beloved brother and friend. See you on the resurrection morning.

Akin, I just had to come here and leave a message one more time. Difficult for me to get over it - is this anger or sadness or both ?.
I wish i had the opportunity to say 'goodbye', and i feel deprived of it. How i wish i knew, or could do something about it. Question, question and questions in my mind.
God knows the best. Rest well in his bosom.....

Akin, you have lived a good life. You have touched the life of many people that were fortunate to meet you. Personally, I will miss you and the influence you brought to my life. I pray that Almighty God will take care of your family and the rest of us you left behind. Akin, rest in the bossom of the Lord.

My working relationship with Akin was very fantastic and encouraging. He goes extra miles to satisfy his colleagues. We will surely miss him. May God Almighty accept his return and grant him the best place in the Paradise. May God Almighty continue to be with his wife and the children, Amen.

February 5, 2013

Dear Akin, I did not have the opportunity others had to meet you; but testimonies from friends and your sister said it all and left me in no doubt that you’re truly a gentleman. You represented those virtues that are as true today as they were 44yrs ago- Life they say is history; a good life no matter how short makes history worth remembering. You may have left us, but you’ll be fondly remembered

February 3, 2013

Akin, you will truly be missed. You touched lives and we argued passionately about our desire for improvement of lives in Africa. Indeed you were a gentleman to the core. I was surprised two weeks ago that you had not commented on my status update on Facebook, not knowing that you were with our creator who loves you most. Adieu. May God grant your family the fortitude to bear this loss.

"Akinzo" I still believe I am dreaming. Just mid year we met and had a reunion in Stratford. I remember vividly our first day at work in Citi, I remember our preparation for every step of the interview process then in "Great Ife". I remember with some excitement the bond we shared in Citi. Adieu my friend till we meet to part no more.

January 4, 2013

It is with a sad heart that I learnt of your passing on and I remembered our days back in eric moore surulere (1981-1986), this were the good old days, the best days. Meeting you again in 2006 and how you had turned out was a great inspiration to me till this day. God knows best and I know he will comfort the loved ones you have left behind. it is well.

Akin I am still in shock. I was looking forward to getting back in touch after a long while and when I saw your name on the link Olu sent I thought it was your business site....then I opened....and alas!. You were such a wonderful person and all these glowing tributes attest to the fact that it is not how long but how well, Till we meet again in the true land of the living. Adieu Akin

January 2, 2013

What a guy, full of life, ambitious and an achiever. Only God knows why you left us so soon but you made your mark in life - a loving wife with three lovely children and friends who loved you. It was a pleasure knowing you. We thank God for your life.

January 2, 2013

I still am shocked beyond words. Akin, you were so full of life. I still remember your various chats on facebook, your text messages and emails of encouragement. You were a great friend and brother. I cannot control the tears in my eyes and have so many questions to ask God on this but in it all, I know He knows best. Rest in perfect peace till we meet to part no more. Regards/Dayo Sokoya

January 2, 2013

Egbon, it's hard to accept that you are gone! We met at Barclaycard and became very close like siblings. You were so open and honnest with your views and guidance. I have gained a lot from your experience about this world within a short time. You know my son is your name sake; so your name will forever be called by me."Uncle Akin" Sun Re O!(rest in peace). You will forever be missed by me.

I cannot believe that you have gone to be with your creator. The news of your death came to me as a shock. I will not forget in a hurry the values learnt while on the job.

Sleep on Boss!

December 31, 2012

You were not just a brother but also an esteemed confidant, counsellor and destiny helper. You admirably stood for the best values and ideals which your children will forever treasure as their invaluable legacies.
Though l cannot come to terms with this departure, l surrender to God's sovereignty.
Akin, continue to live and reign with the Lord.
Tope lbitola,

Akin, we had a brief professional interaction and we became friends.It was a bolt out of the blue to learn of your passing. Good memories linger after you.
May Jehovah God Almighty grant Lucy and the kids immense grace to cope with your absence.

December 30, 2012

Akin, why so soon I keep asking the question over and over but I can't query God for He loves you more. I have come to accept the painful fact that you are no more with us in the flesh but your peaceful engaging generous person lives. My brother I miss you so much I am griefing. When Lucy said you slept peacefully I gave glory to God for a life well spent. Akin sun re o.

December 30, 2012

Akin, there is no good bye from me to you because you live on.....though I am broken hearted because we cannot sit together to rub minds as we've always done, but I have solace in that you knew God while you were in this world. You came, you saw and you conquered. You will definitely be missed by all, but keep sleeping in the bossom of God your creator. My brother, sun re o, o digba o.

December 30, 2012

My 'Uncle', like I would often call you, its like a nightmare. I met you and your beautiful family through my husband and immediately your dedication to all that was important to you was very clear...God, family, friends, work... I cannot ask God why because I know He has a greater purpose for you up there. It hurts, really does especially when I think of Lucy...well, we thank God.

December 30, 2012

I pray the LORD comfort Lucy and the children, it shall be well......(Isaiah 3:10)

Sleep on!

December 29, 2012

I will remember Akin for being a loving family man and for his generosity of spirit and his engaging smile, he was always willing to help and get involved. My thoughts are with Lucinder and the family for your great loss.

December 29, 2012

Akin, I wish this was a bad dream and somebody will wake me up from this dream but alas! I am shocked, saddened, and short of words…Ah! Lord! Only you know, only you can comfort Lucy and the children he left behind. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Sleep well and good night

December 29, 2012

O My Sister!Who's there with her?No!Those were my first thots and words.O Lucy! Your marriage was such an inspiration to many.Akin shared you with me. He was such a private and "I'm into my nuclear family alone" type of person but he opened up to me so warmly and quickly. I was always so free with him. "Super-dad" I called him.I can't wrap my mind round this but Jehovah alone knows & Sees.

December 29, 2012

Akin, the news of you death was unbelievable given that i sent you a mail of my arrival in uk on xmas eve and as was customary for us to meet and catch up with gists moreso when i was on board with your former boss, Julius. Little did i know you were battling with death. Oh! death where is your sting? You are such a wonderful friend and too careful to die now but God Knows Best. VICTORY!!

From your loving son
Agboola
Rest well.

December 29, 2012

We will always remember sir Akinzo would put the privacy and integrity of others first. Also how he would selflessly help others achieve their goals even those he had never met.

He will be greatly missed by sis Lucy and their adorable children. Our prayers are with them at these challenging times; God the great comforter will bring them HIS comfort.

Sleep on sir Akinzo

That was the first time

December 24, 2015

Met Akin Ibilola in our Masters class in Unilag in 1995 although he later left for Leeds on scholarship. He was a gentle, humble and highly cerebral guy; always impeccably dressed. He could perhaps very well have won the price for the quietest person in class. Didn't see him again until sometime in 2006 at a shopping mall in Ikeja.

Akin was an inspirational friend, study partner and confidant that I will forever remember and may God continue to guide the family he left behind. God knows best. Sleep tight, Akin.
