Babatunde Adekunle Majek-Odunowo
March 30, 2021
Babatunde came to this world around 1pm on the 22nd of November, 1993 at a private hospital in Isolo area of Lagos.
Being my parents' first grandchild, he became the cynosure and the love of everyone in my family especially my mother and my sister, Ibironke.
The family promptly named him after my late father who died in 1982, Adekunle Saliadeen Akanni Majekodunmi Odunowo. Babatunde grew up in intense love and care from all members of the family. Each of my siblings had a special nickname for him.
He started Nursery school at Brainstorm Nursery and Primary School, Isolo Lagos in 1995. He completed his primary education at Febilak Schools, Surulere Lagos. He had his secondary education at Kingsland College, Ikorodu (the family moved to Ikorodu in 2004).
Babatunde was a bag of talents and a great cook. He was the only student and the only male that sat for the subject Food and Nutrition the SSCE exam.
He was good with his hands, he was a computer wizard (he got his first computer set at 8 years old), he was an illustrator with great ambitions of being an Animator. He was good in music too and dropped a few singles, one of them is "High School Lyfe".
He did his OND at Yaba College of Technology, he had to go back to school to sit for Fine Art, a prerequisite subject for his ambition of becoming a class A Animator.
He was fiercely independent and decided to stay a few years from HND while he pursued his musical career and mining Bitcoin which was just gaining ground then.
Babatunde was blessed with a son, Iremide. Anytime he flashes his smile, tensions go down. He smiled a lot and loved his son, siblings and cousins passionately.
His untimely passing at the age of 27 on that fateful day, 20th of January, 2021 about 8:30 in the morning left a vacuum only God can fill in the hearts of all of us his family members. But we take great solace in God for Iremide whom God gave us through Babatunde to heal us.
