This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, ALFRED FOLARIN ALABI. We will remember him forever.
Dear Daddy, I will always have fond memories of the weekends I spent with you, Mummy and Jumoke at Satellite. You were always so gracious, hospitable and welcoming. I recall the unusual customary Iyan and Obe we had for breakfast, your jovial and ever sunny nature and your ability to find laugher in any situation always had us in stiches. You will will forever be missed. Rest in peace Sir. You remain forever in the hearts of everyone whose lives you have touched.
Daddy satellite as often referred to, I have known you for over fifty years. Too much to talk about. Remember teaching my friend kate okon and I table tennis at ikoyi-Alagbon each time, we never got the rudiments it was good yabbies, Never a dull moment with you. You were fun to be with. I thank God for your life. You will be remembered at all times
Daddy Satellite as you were fondly called, you were very intelligent and funny. In fact you were one of the most intelligent people I know- Always current in politics etc. I remember when ‘Who wants to a millionaire’ was airing, you would get most, if not all the questions right during each episode. I will never forget your stories, and how you would tease us, anyone close to you can testify to this.
Daddy I will never forget your laughter because it was very contagious. We know you are resting now , we love and miss you.

Your departure remind me once again that our staying here is temporal. I was devastated on hearing the news of your demise Dad. You are not only just a dad to me but to millions who came across you on your sojourn on earth. You are a perfect gentleman, forthright fellow, mentor, giver, accommodative and lovable fellow. You took and looked after me as your own son. You gave me and my family shelter over our heads for over twenty years and even gave me a free hand to manage your property. I moved to my own house from yours dad. Infact,where I'm today couldn't have possible if not for God and coming to know a nice person like you Dad. You came to this world, you saw, you tasted, you conquered and now you have gone to be with your creator. I will for ever missed your smile, your gists, the histories of yesteryears ever fresh in your memory, your accuracy in quoting dates of events of over fifty years and your admonition/advice on any issue brought to you. Rest on Dad till we meet to part no more. Rest on in the bosom of your God Daddy Alfred Alabi Gogobioke omo eye woeye.........From your boy, your son OMOTAYO MICHAEL OPEYEMI and FAMILY( UNILAG)

AF the Legend
Alo ooo... Aloo... Here’s the story of this gentleman and inspiration....
He was my first love, AF loved me to a fault. I could not do any wrong in his eyes. I remember growing up as a child and my mother would want to cane me for my misdeeds, AF would hide me under his agbada when my mum would be searching high and low the house.
AF endeared my interest in sports being a sports man himself. We had a table tennis table set in our garage growing up...
AF taught me to speak well. He would ensure we played scrabble to help build our vocabulary and also taught me to learn atleast two new words in the dictionary each day.
AF loved mathematics and this was where our issues emanated. He just could not understand why I was soo numbers adverse and that was the only point he lost his temper with me. I recall once when he said you would only be average in life if you continued in this manner and that resonated with me all through my growing up years. This made me resolve that I would prove this man wrong and made me strive for perfection in all I did. I was glad when he stated later in life to me that he was well pleased in me.
AF showered me with love and compliments, I didn’t have the “need” to search elsewhere...
AF was a rolling stone... this man chop life to the fullest holding no prisoners... If you know... you know The life of a party... The baba of the chop life gang. His “gulder” well into his 80s... AF Baba!!! I hail!! He loved Tiwa and Niniola’s music and dancing. I didn’t even know Niniola until AF told me about her...
AF was never forceful, he had a calm demeanor and never quick to anger... He always advocated peace.
AF had a gob on him, if he teased you, one could almost cry
I could go on and on with the fond memories. I can’t say I had the “best” dad, because you can’t be compared with any other in my eyes. I just loved the way you loved me which I would miss...
