This is a trying times for the family. My consolation is that She lived a fulfilling life. Pray to Almighty that her soul rest in peace and comfort the family for this great loss.

TRIBUTE BY PRINCE SAMUEL OLADIPO ORIJA ( HEADFIGHT) Oh!Mummy , iam yet to come out of my reverie and be in terms with the reality of the undeniable fact that you have gone to be with the Lord. You related closely with me not as my uncle's wife but much more as my mum. Most of the time I get amused and pleasantly occupied by your jist that are wrapped in philosophical and penetrating matured / thought provoking words.
You are down to earth . Your death aborted my special and surprise package planned for your 80th birthday.
I give glory to the Almighty God that has made our paths to cross. You did not only trained us but you deposited inside us how to live for others and better their lives. You practicalised and equally demonstrated for us how to be prudent and be straight forward in dealing with our clients and friends.
Your charming smiles was infectious and like barbecue source, it always wound up on everyone face. You are too generous to a fault. You are appreciative of every little gifts we give to you. Honestly Iam going to miss you more because it will be rare to come across a person like you who only comes once in a century.
Mummy good night and continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord until we meet at the feet of Jesus never to path again.

TRIBUTE
My heart is heavy as I write these few words in Banke’s name. How can death take the life of our most loved friend-Banke from our midst? Well, as children of God we take solace in thoughts that this must be God’s timing.

Banke we loved you, and I loved you dearly. You were an instrument of peace in our circle. There was no sorrow or enmity in your dictionary. You were a friend to children, adults and seniors, you made them all happy. We love you but God loves most.

Your advice to people usually germinate smile. Your actions with anyone in contact with you turned his or her life to a better one. You are actually one of the SEEDS planted in the world to produce Sweet and lasting impressions to people, this you did magnificently. Your footprint in terms of your generosity and care for everyone in contact with you cannot be copied. You came to this world full of surprises and you left the world with greater surprises. We loved you but God Loved you most.

Banke, maje okun, maje ekolo, ohun ti won nbaje ni ajule orun niki oma ba won je. Odabo o Banke, ama pade ni ese JESU ni ojo Ajinde. REST IN PERFECT PEACE DEAREST FRIEND. AMEN

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saint psalm 116vs 15.
The news of chief (Mrs) Olubanke Orija came to me as a rude shock still Battling to get over. Banke was a God sent to a lot of people, she had a large heart and a big shoulder to lean on, loving,caring and a good listener. To me Banke was genuine friend, sister and adviser "Select the right people to travel with you in your journey of life at all times and thereby make your life sweeter ". Glad I chose Banke she was a friend indeed. A disciplined and dedicated person, there are lot of things to emulate from her, a good Christian and a role model.
May the Lord take care of the children, grandchildren and the entire family she left behind.
Missing you rest on beloved you will forever be in my heart. Adieu.
Chief (Mrs) Adedoyin Onayiga

Chief Mrs Olubanke Orija and I were friends before we both got married. We were in England together for a period of time, Banke knew how to enjoy life. We enjoyed many holidays together, in 1984 she accompanied me to New York for my brothers wedding. We also flew Concorde, stayed at Waldorf Astoria & went on the QE2 etc. We always had a blast.

Banke was a humanitarian, and a kind soul, she would help anybody in need.
We last spoke on the eve of her death, as she consoled me for the loss of my cousin, 2 days prior.
I cannot explain the shock & pain I am still feeling, over her passing. She will be sorely missed.
Banke leaves behind 6 beautiful children & grandchildren. May GOD continue to protect & guard them.

Sleep well my VERY BEST FRIEND until we meet again.

Mrs Nike Williams Onitiri

Mummy you were a blessing to my family and you took my mum as your dear friend and sister. She misses you a lot and she thanked God that she had that last conversation with you before passing to glory. The Badejo and Abiba family loves and misses you.

I thank you for your positive impact, your warmth and your incredible generosity. You will be sorely missed. You have set a good example to us all. Rest in peace mummy.

It was a rude shock hearing the sad news but we all have a date with death. Mama Orija was a beautiful soul, kind hearted, generous and peace loving. She was a support to many service groups and the Girls Brigade, 6th Lagos Company of which she was a Patron in particular. She had a wide and lovely smile for everyone.
She has gone to rest from the struggles of this world.
May the Lord comfort her family and SPCB family.
Sun re, mama rere!!

Mama - What can I say about you? I still remember your lovely smiles and kind words. You were always happy to receive, welcome, and share stories that demonstrated your kind and warm personality. Always helping many people around you.
I pray the Lord to remember your faith in Him, your selfless sacrifices and grant you eternal rest. Amen

Mama was a great mother and a cheerful giver.I met her when I joined our society the YMAA and was charmed with the warmth she welcomed me with being our Matron.She supported us in all ways you can imagine. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen and may God grant her family and loved ones the fortitude to bear this huge loss.
