A true friend is never truly gone. Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who loved them.
I remember any time you stop by First Atlantic Bank to FINBANK IT department, you brighten up the room, you walk in with a smile on face, crack jokes and also sing Yinka Ayeefela song suku suku sa ba de mo…..
I remember in 2008 when you came to UK and we called me that you are around and I have to travel down to Heathrow to see. We had Singapore noddle’s and went on a walk and had a brotherly talk
Those special memories of you, will always, make me smile, if only I could have you back, for just a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again, just like used to do,
You always meant so much to me,
And always will do too.
The fact that you’re no longer here,
Will always cause me pain,
But you’re forever in my heart,
Until we meet again….
When friendship leaves us through death, we feel cheated in Life. As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.
It may become softer over time, more gentle, and some days will feel sharp.
Ecclesiastes 3:2
“A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; ... He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end”.
But grief will last as long as love does- forever. It’s simply the way the absence of your loved one manifests in your heart.
Keeping you close in heart and prayer for the loss of your beloved "Babatunde Oladokun". Our deepest sympathy. May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort. Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking

Your exuberance and respect was matched by your keen intellect and passion for all things Technology. I remember the discussion @ hardley suites your ability to articulate technology and make us laugh, you see the best in others.

We are a witness to your vivid, impactful and Long-lasting support. You told us not to worry that everything will fall in place.
You will always be remembered, loved and cherished.
May your soul rest in peace and may God watch over your lovely wife and beautiful children.

Death Where is thy Sting
As we grieve today, I recalled my memories of Taiwo in one of the deepest forms ever, then my heart mourns. Taiwo was not my “korikosun” on campus - no, not at all. But he was a man of high reputation that I respect deeply and hold in esteem. He knows his stuff, a lover of God and His people. He was a likable man, pleasant to behold. A man after God’s heart.
Taiwo was a simple young man on campus to be friends with, I got good stories about him before I moved closer to him. I was not disappointed. Starting from great dressing sense to respect for everybody, he plays when its right and work when its due – “Fine boy no pimples” I called him affectionately. For my first few years I look at him from distance, I always like what I saw in him. He was a year ahead of me in school, but not withstanding, we are mates and colleagues.
Being members of drama group in the Christian Fellowship makes us closer. Taiwo will come casually to meetings, do what he had to do and the leave after talking and making people happy. No dull moment wherever Taiwo was.
We were in drama rehearsal one day when the leader assigned me to play a role, it was not my traditional role, but I tried it anyway. It was a preparation for a major event in the fellowship. I eventually told the leader to re-assign me as I might not be able to deliver the role perfectly as expected. I suggested Taiwo would better play the role and I called him out. We switched roles thereafter. In the drama, Taiwo’s character was to play a flamboyant student who eventually gave his life to Christ before passing away. It was a bitter-sweet end story that challenged people on the night of ministration/presentation. At end of the story, just before the character passed, he sang – “He loves me I can not say why x 2 on calvary tree he suffered for me, He loves me I can not say why”. It was one of the best drama ministrations I ever participated.
I visited Taiwo once around Oke-Anu where he lived @Ogbomosho. It was a an unpainted, gated bungalow house with flowers and a well water close to his window. His bed was next to the window. We had a great time as we discussed range of things, education, fellowship, life after school, challenges and other things two young men would discuss, etc. Taiwo was a person you’ll see and be happy, he had a big shoulder you can rest in and be confident.
After school life, as we are all settling down in the early 2000s, we connected briefly in Lagos, I heard about his early take off in life and I rejoiced with him. I was not surprised about his early success as he was a man of many talents and gifts which eventually made a way for him.
The challenges of many years were enormous, but Taiwo stayed alive and fought death to a standstill. He did not give up. Even when friends, possibly others have given up. Whenever I asked close friend about him, they would tell me he is alive. The death lost on Taiwo for many years. When the time came for might man to go be with the Lord and rest, Taiwo took a bow. Oh death where thy sting!, oh grave where is thy victory!. Taiwo, the man of faithful God, you have fought a good fight, you have finished the race, - set a head of you and you have kept the faith.
To the co-soldiers in the fight, Bukola and the kids, - the silent Angels God created for Taiwo, you did not loose the fight, you have won. The good Lord, the righteous judge will award you the crown of righteousness that you deserve and worked for. May God be with you, keep you cause Hisface to shine upon and be gracious into you. Amen.
Yomi Akande.

Bros T, as I fondly call you. My heart is so heavy and find it difficult to believe that you have gone to be with the Lord. You brought me into the I. T world after my BSc final exam and showed me the path to grow myself. God single handedly used you to make me what I become today in the I. T industry.
I was waiting for you to come back to see how far I have grown in my career and the man I have turned in to.

May the Lord grant you eternal rest and grant the family you left behind the fortitude to bear your absence.

You will be forever missed. Rest on Bros T, till will meet to path no more.

Mr T was unique in so many ways. He stood out as a loving husband and an exceptional father. He loved his family!!
I remember him playing with Teni fondly...singing and making animal sounds that made her giggle. His house and heart were always open and extremely accomodating. He was a rare gem indeed. He was blessed with an even more amazing wife who spent all these years caring for him and hoping he will get better. So many questions ..."We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. ...1 Corinth 13:12"

Rest on Mr T.

Bukola labored. May God comfort her heart and that of the precious children he left behind

Tunde! Intelligent...kind... he was a people person, a great relationship builder.
He was as articulate as he was fair in his dealings with everyone...customers, colleagues, and friends.
Our professional careers ran parallel in three organisations. CBC, NetApp and EMC. Our personal life interactions go even further.
Some of the best career, hiring and business decisions I made, were made together with Tunde. The history of NetApp and DellEMC (EMC) in this region will not be complete without him. He was one of the foundational members of these companies, at the time when the market was not ready to give us a chance. We broke those chains and had some of the earliest and toughest wins together. The result of those wins increased the appetite of those companies to invest further into this region.

Tunde was not just a colleague and friend to me. Tunde was my brother.

Bukky has been a wife in a million during the whole travail. I pray and believe God will bless her for all she did and will continue to do. God will keep His protection on her, the Children, Eniola and Fola, the whole Oladokun family and every one of us.

Taiwo, your state that I saw last year January at St Lukes, and a couple of times before that date are not the ones that linger in my being.

The ones that linger in me are:
The ever vibrant Taiwo that is always full of joy and laughter, even in the midst of trials and challenges.
The Taiwo that lingers is the one that solves all those abstract and topology courses effortlessly.
The one that lingers is one full of life in NIFES campus fellowship
The one that lingers is the one that will shout Layi eleran inside oja Bodija in Ibadan and will come and tell the tales in school to anyone that cares to listen
The one that lingers is the one that comes out with confidence when professor Ayeni says 'Mr Oladokun, leeet's seeee your solution'
The Taiwo the lingers is one that visited my office in Marina then,  finished official engagement and started the school jokes in a corporate environment.
I can go on,  on and on but I will stop here.
Death is swallowed up in victory in your case
We sure will  pade leti odo, odo didan, odo didan, odoo diidan,..
Rest on brotherly friend and classmate

I’m not one for a ‘best friend’ tag even though I’m very big on friendships but I remember coming to the realization that I really did have a friend I can call best in you. Taiwo was my best friend, I just never processed it that way. And that was how his friendship sneaked up on me and edged everyone else out to first position.
Sadly, I’m not sure I got to have an opportunity to let him know. Taiwo was everybody’s friend so I’m not sure I was his best friend, however he chose me to be his bestman! and I’ll say it was a rare privilege to be there when he chose That special one as his wife because few years down the line, we all fully realized and have come to accept that, this was the best decision Taiwo ever made as a mortal!. Taiwo and I shared good memories right from when we met in Lautech’s department of Pure and Applied Mathematics. His understanding of this ‘ill-advised’ course was a marvel. Those days when we despaired under terror courses like Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra... his grasp of these courses was a mystery. Taiwo’s light in the department didn’t start to shine until much later and it was when things really got tough that we really began to see this naturally gifted one for who he really is. Taiwo was exceptionally brilliant! He was a natural when it came to mathematics out of the whole lot of us pioneer students in the department. He understood this abstract puzzle of a course so well but his ability to transfer this knowledge to me always suffered two major setbacks, food and sleep. Every time Taiwo slept over at my hostel or I at his, we rarely got much done because his love for food made sure that he must eat to be able to concentrate and read and once he has eaten, sleep is inevitable and that would be the end of learning for me.
Taiwo’s love for food brings to mind our ‘sheri’ mango escapades in Ogbomoso especially the mango trees around the University’s guest house, it was our own palliative to loot in those days. One time we were so broke in school, Taiwo and I went mango plucking. We filled two traveling bags with mangoes (they allowed us pluck them for free back in the days) and we had a feast of mangoes for over a week. Our meal became mangoes, we were consuming about eight mangoes per meal time and all we needed was to eat one good meal for the day and our day is made. If you remember the 0-1-0 rule, ours was Mango-1-Mango. We thought we were dealing hunger a blow because truly we weren’t hungry for most part of the day, only for me to get home and my mom screamed when she saw how skinny I had become! When he started work at CBC, the boys quarters at the back of Taiwo’s uncle’s house in Apapa was like home to me and that was where I first got introduced to ‘corper Bukky’. Taiwo was handsome but he went a notch higher, found a prettier soulmate and with that sealed a lifetime contract with beauty in his lineage. When you see Eniola and Fola, you will know they came from the finest stock. Taiwo stole Bukky’s heart and refused to let her go back to Ilorin, he told me when he narrowed his choice to her and it was a good one. Thank you Bukky, we his friends remain eternally grateful to you. Though short lived, Taiwo lived the best life. Throughout our uni-days, we all lived in the fear of the question, which company employs mathematicians? And so it was heart warming when Taiwo started to make a career of Mathematics by branching out into Computer Science. Soon Taiwo was traveling the world because whatever he chose to do, Taiwo excelled.
You might have left way too early but at least thank God you left us Eniola and Fola to remember you by. You loved God, loved Bukky, loved Enny and Fola, loved driving, loved your food and sleep and you also loved Tope Alabi and Yinka Aiyefele! Every time I hear their music, I immediately remember you. Sleep on my dear friend

It is with heavy heart that I write this. My first encounter with you was about fifteen years ago or thereabouts. You were very promising, no doubt and ready to lead your world out of its doldrums.

You were set, as it appeared to me, ready to take the world by surprise. But alas, and painfully too, for all the years of your travails, your sun was to finally set at dawn.

I am a man of faith and because of that I was waiting, hoping to hear that you are back on your feet. For all that is known to God Almighty alone, that was not to be.

May your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in perfect peace. Amen.

Aunty Bukky, please take heart. May God be with you and the children. Amen. May God heal us all of this wound and grant us all the fortitude to bear the irreparable and irreplaceable loss. Amen.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain".
This is a lesson learned from my 'son' Babatunde. Not only did he dance in the rain, he wanted to dance in the rain. Babatunde had a exorbitant number of storm during his short life, so he knew from experience that another storm was coming on the heels of the one that just passed. If he had not learned to dance, he may have remain dry, but unfulfilled. He was fulfilled.
Babatunde lived his life on his terms. He was not rebelling against anything or anyone. He was a free spirit who lived in the present, and again, on his terms. He was a leader. He had followers. He could enter a dark room and brightens it with his smile, his attitude or just his presence. He had it.
I stand here today with a broken heart. The loss of Babatunde (who turned son) is something I could never prepared for even during the past weeks under insurmountable odds, I still refused to prepare myself. He had so many dreams and so many plans for the future. Tunde you would have made these dreams come true, but who are we in the hand of God. HE knew the best for you.
Babatunde, I love you with all my heart. I am profoundly proud of you.. I look forward to seeing you again when the time comes.
May Almighty God overlook all your shortcomings and grant your soul eternal rest. Rest in peace and never stop dancing in the rain.

TRIBUTE TO LATE TUNDE
MY SON IN LAW.

AN EBULLIENT, DYNAMIC, RESOURCEFUL AND BRIGHT STAR MY SON IN LAW WHO HAS GONE TOO SOON. WHAT A PAINFUL IRREDEEMABLE LOSS.

YOU WERE A SHINNING STAR THAT SHONE BRIGHTER THAN THE MORNING STAR. YOU CAME INTO THIS WORLD WITH LOADS OF CHEERS, CARE, KINDNESS AND HUMILITY. YOU STOOD OUT AS A FORMIDABLE LOVING FAMILY MAN. IN YOUR JOURNEY OF LIFE YOU MET AND LOVED PASSIONATELY YOUR CONFIDANT, WONDERFUL AND ILLUSTRIOUS WIFE MRS BUKOLA OLADOKUN WITH WHOM BOTH OF YOU WERE BLESSED WITH LOVELY AND INTELLIGENT CHILDREN.

SINCE THE UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT OF YOU SEEKING WELLNESS AT ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL, WHICH REMAINS INDELIBLE IN OUR MIND, YOUR FAITHFUL WIFE WAS RESOLVED THAT YOU MUST LIVE, BUT ALAS WE WERE UNABLE TO QUERY THE WILL OF GOD.

HMMM! WHAT A TORTUOUS JOURNEY OF LIFE. OH DEATH WHERE LIES YOUR STING THAT YOU TOOK AWAY OUR JOY AND HARMONIOUS LIVING.

WE HAVE ACCEPTED ALL OF THIS AS PEOPLE OF FAITH IN GOD BELIEVING STRONGLY THAT YOU ARE RESTING IN THE BOSOM OF OUR CREATOR TILL WE ALL MEET AT THE FEET OF CHRIST.

THIS BELIEVE OF OURS IS STRONGLY ROOTED IN THE WORDS OF THE HOLY BIBLE DAN 4:35 "ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE REPUTED AS NOTHING; HE DOES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN THE ARMY OF HEAVEN AND AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF EARTH. NO ONE CAN RESTRAIN HIS HAND OR SAY TO HIM, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ".

SOUN RE LAYA JESU. MAY YOUR GENTLE SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

ON BEHALF OF LATE SAMUEL FOLORUNSHO OLOWOJOLU AND FAMILY.

Uhmmm....Taiwo, my very good "troublesome' friend of Lautech days. Somewhat playful then, with an innocent demeanor around you, and yet very intelligent and smart. Always smiling with those 'smiley' eyes of yours.

I remember the last time we saw physically, sometime in 2006, you and Wale came pay I and my husband a visit at our home. You were dong so well career-wise and had such a promising future ahead of you. Was so proud of you then. Not long after, I learnt of the unfortunate incidence that occurred while you underwent a minor medical procedure. Why such a minor procedure turned out the way it did even with it being carried out in a very notable and reputable hospital, we leave the answers to God almighty.

You are resting now and in a better place where there is no pain.
I pray the Lord comfort and strengthen your dutiful wife, your children and the rest of the family.

Adieu dear friend and continue to rest on.

Uncle Taiwo ..its rare for people to have Such a great impact in such a short time of knowing someone ..but when we talk about rare people,without a shadow of doubt you were one of the few ...the memories I have of you are from 2008 Christmas ...I was very young then but I still hold all those memories dear to my Mind ....I remember when I was told by my mum when your birthday was and discovered it was so close to mine ,Also when she said I resembled you in many ways ...they were things of joy to behold as a child ..and I was hoping to see for myself those traits we shared when you later come out of that bed ..sadly it wasn't just to be .....the only glimmer of hope I take from this is that there's still a place we will see again .....and surely ..by his grace we will see again ...Rest on Sir ..your legacy will never be forgotten

You were quintessential of a Father, Husband,Son,Uncle,Brother,Boss,Mentor, Colleague,Friend and so many more,you wore all hats so perfectly ❤️

Uncle you are a strong force to reckon with,
You are IRREPLACEABLE.
I looked forward to every december period for Christmas because it was an opportunity to see everyone again as we were the only family member in the North (kaduna),my brother keeps saying those were one of his best Christmas as little as he was then, we would all gather in your house and merry,you hosted a lot of us at the same time,we were sure that you were going to spoil us silly and enjoy so many things,your house was one of those top houses I was free in,we could go to any room and anywhere we wanted to,there was no limit,Different scenerio keeps playing in my head where we talked even as a young girl, I remember the day you and grandma came to pick us at the park in Ibadan, I also remember how you fondly called me 'My Chinese girl',times when you took us to the beach and we were all happy especially my brothers and I as we don't see something like this where we are (Kaduna state),I remembered my mom didn't want us to go, but you were like she should allow us because it wasn't a site we see often,I remembered you telling me to do well in my J.WAEC and that you were going to tell my mom to bring me to Lagos for the holiday,You always bought something for my siblings and I everytime you traveled out,I remember this particular pink blouse you bought for me,I wore it almost every time then except to take a bath,A time came my mom had to hide it because I over wore the blouse, it looked so good on me,I remember the several things (toys,clothes) I always got from you,ahh I'm hurt .I still remember your phone number till date.
I also remember you asking me what university and career and i wanted to do,I remember messing around with your car key remote sensor,I remember some songs that played from your car that I still sing till date,I remember the cross over service we had together, I sat close to you, I remember the family morning devotion in your house where everyone was there, I remember when you were sleeping at a time and I came to disturb you playing in your ears and you just looked at me and went to another room,I remember the day you dropped us at the park,I still remember very clearly seeing you,as we waved each other from the bus after you gave my siblings and I money, I remember when you'll call my mom and we would all be itching to talk to you,we wanted you to hear our voice.
uncle you were a good man,I know if you were here, our lives would have been more transformed than it,you were the people's people,you valued family ties so much, speaking of you in past tense hurts deeply,only Jesus can fix me, I miss you so much and I'm not sure I'll ever recover from this,I just have to learn to live with this wound,you were that GLUE that held us all together,
I really had so much hope that you were coming back to us, I didn't think it was going to end this way,We envisaged a miracle,
but in all I am super honoured to be your Niece, your name is forever in the my heart .
I take solace in the fact that you have joined the clouds of witnesses,where there's no more sorrow,no more pain,no more crying, where there is joy and peace in the presence of God.
We would see again when Jesus calls us home or when He comes to take the saints (rapture),I just have to strive to make sure I make it to heaven where you are,so we can fellowship together.
It really seems like a long time from now,but comparing it to the time we have to spend in eternity, it's no long time at all.
I take comfort in this.
Rest in perfect peace
Thank you so much for FIGHTING
My mommy (your sister) used to tell us stories of risks you took when you were younger,it indeeds shows you are a strong man.
I love you so much Uncle and I'll do everything humanly possible to have you with us. I wished this tears would stop rolling down.
Till the resurrection morning
I am glad and thankful to God for giving me a relationship/tie with you, I am honoured to be your niece.
Forever in my heart,
Your Chinese Girl,as you fondly called me
I Love You.

Today with tears in my eyes, I am paying a tribute to a selfless man and great leader who has impacted many lives positively. Bro. Taiwo is a kind of person who would go extra miles to assist others even when it hurts. I remembered your gentle smile and your kind words. I remembered how you used to assist me with my schoolwork in the early 90s when you paid us a visit in Abeokuta; I remembered your great impact in the life of my younger brother. You have been a blessing to me and the entire family. Life is not fair sometimes or most times; it is not fair for you to leave us quickly. Nevertheless, God Almighty understands what we mortals do not know or understand, He is a sovereign God. "You have fought the good fight, you have kept the faith and finished the race; hence, there is laid up a crown of righteousness, which the LORD, the righteous Judge, shall give you at the day..." You will be deeply missed Bro Taiwo Babatunde Oladokun; I will always miss you Sir. Rest on Mr Taiwo Babatunde Oladokun.

Uncle Babatunde you are a special gift to us from God , a special breed , a man with a big heart. A well rounded and selfless family man with so much energy and love to share. You were a perfect role model any young man can aspire to become.I remember my holiday times at your place in In Ketu and Lakwe it was always fun filled. You radiate positivity at all times.Aremu baba like you always call me, you just have this way of relating and understanding everyone no matter their age(young and old) you always treat everyone equally. The Nigeria medical system played a big role in snatching you from us.But we take solace in the fact that you are in better place without pain or sorrow. Aremu baba bids you goodnight.Till we meet again.

BODA TUNDE OLADOKUN: THE TRUE STORY
My first encounter with you was in 2001 when you visited our family in Ilorin for the very first time. You were magnetic, charming and ridiculously energetic such that we accepted you into the mainstream of our family almost immediately.
Your leadership qualities made you stand out amongst your friends, family members and colleagues. Your robust energy and vision catapulted you into a trailblazer and inspirational figure.
You were a loving and caring husband and father. Your commitment towards the unity and progress of your extended family made lasting impression on me.
A man designed for the big stage. The international arena was your domain. You were destined for greatness and you would have brought many others into the realm of greatness.
Boda Tunde Oladokun! I celebrate you sir!

My dear uncle,
Thanks for all you did for me. Indeed, you touched so many lives, but you touched mine in a great way. I can still remember how you encouraged me to be focused in my academic pursuit; you asked for my CGPA and you indicated the importance of finishing well. You motivated me and I finished my undergraduate pursuit well because of your encouragement. I received several financial supports from you in my undergraduate years. You secured IT placement for me and Tolu in a lucrative sector and I’m still in the sector where I did my IT till today. we stayed in your house throughout our IT days and you tolerated our youthfulness while we were with you. I remember the lesson you gave me on emotional intelligent… I love you but God loves you more. Rest well sir.

Bro Taiwo....hmmmm

You became a friend (even though you were many years my senior)
Bro Taiwo...with you it was always good vibes; if one came to you with a heavy heart, you would find a way to cheer the person up.
You were always eager to help, eager to go the extra mile and to encourage.
You always had a joke and teased unending.
I don't even remember all the nicknames you gave me.

You worked hard too, and had visions for your future and worked hard towards them.

You were also committed to God's work.
I had the privilege of working with you as a deputy when you were president of our association (your commitment was one of the reasons I agreed to serve)

When my office was on Oyin Jolayemi, I remember all the days you'd show up, call and say "Taylor, mo wa ni isale" and you'd buy us lunch at the calabar restaurant opposite.
You always had plenty to talk about, I would over shoot my lunch time and always needed to hurry back to work.

Your house at Ketu was open, the warmth from you and your wife always was exemplary.

Bro Taiwo was always full of life and I choose to remember him like that.

I pray for God to continue to help his wife (a strong woman indeed), may his children be called blessed in the land.
Goodnight Bro Tunde Taiwo Oladokun

Babatunde Taiwo Oladokun, word cannot describe your worth. You were so loving and caring. You affected my life in a way I can never estimate. You have made so many sacrifices for my happiness. You touched many lives that are associated with me. You paid for a diet in my professional exam when things were so rough. You are always there whenever I needed you. Infact, you were the first to see my first born before I came down. My first e-mail account was created by you in 1998/1999. You introduced me to Info Tech. You always wanted the best for me no matter the circumstances. You wanted the best to everyone that came your way. You stood by me through thick and thin. Your words of encouragement cannot be overemphasised. You always encouraged me that tomorrow will be better. Not only did you volunteer to drive me during my wedding, your house was full of my guests for days and you made them happy to the extent that they marvelled at how wonderful you were. Whenever I called you, you were always ready. Those who knew you through me always wanted you around.
Your memory will always be fresh in my heart. You are more than a brother. YOU ARE A REAR GEM OF INESTIMABLE VALUE. YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS. You will always be evergreen in my memories. We ate together, played together, watch films and play TV game together before the advent of PlayStation and others. So many sweet memories like queueing to buy fuel for days during scarcity, school visit in Ogbomoso etc. Whenever we had opportunity to be together after we have married, we always gist till we both slept off. You were never afraid of tomorrow and kept on encouraging me. You never looked down or belittled anyone and you had a listening ear with a heart of GOLD. You lived as if you knew life was short. The only hope I have is that we will meet again and rejoice in heaven. I love you but Jesus loves you most. I know you are very happy where you are because this life is not our own. If I am to make a wish, I would have begged God to make you my blood brother. I know you are very happier where you are.
I LOVED YOUR SMILE, YOUR WAYS, YOUR WORDS, I LOVED YOUR HAPPY HEARTED WAY.
I LOVE YOU TAIWO AND YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.
God be with you till we meet again at the feet of Jesus.

You will never be forgotten Bro T

I remember meeting you for the first time through Kunle Ojo and I was drawn to your immense respect, humility and mostly by your open spirit.

You helped me in taking my decision in marrying into the family then because I knew  someone like you around would bring coordination to a lot of things.

I’m still in shock that you’re no longer with us but I’m extremely glad that you’re in a better place. May God continue to bless and keep the family you left behind in Jesus name. Till we meet again in the presence of God to depart no more
