I am still in shock knowing that I won't be seeing Baba again. Words aren't enough to describe him while he was alive and even in death. He impacted my life positively and he always liven my spirit with words of wisdom. Never a dull moment with him. He is so much of a father to me than a boss. I miss him so much..., and I pray he finds rest in the bossom of our God. Adieu! Baba.

:( A terribly sad news! I have known Engr. Oni for many years and only saw him recently. A professional partner and a father figure with words of advice and encouragement. May you find eternal rest, Baba!

My most heartfelt condolences to all Dave's family, friends and staff following the sad news of his passing this weekend. You are all in my thoughts. Dave's wonderful sense of humour, honesty and enthusiasm for encouraging the pursuit of excellence in education will be sorely missed in both Nigeria and the UK. Rest in peace.

May your soul rest in peace, Engr. Dave Oni! It was a rude shock on receiving the news of your death. May God grant your family and the whole international education consultancy family in Nigeria the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. You shall greatly be missed.

I am finding this difficult to believe! It really came as a rude shock to me as you were always full of life! I thought I was dreaming when BM gave me the news on Sunday afternoon!
Baba, you were not just a Boss but you were a father to me. All I know today on this job I learnt from you including other life lessons a father shares with his children.
I take solace in the joy that you lived a fulfilled life and the legacy you left behind will continue to speak for you!
Rest on Baba in the bossom of the Almighty God till we meet to part no more!

I am still struggling with your sudden departure because we still discussed plans for the coming year on Friday, 11th November, 2016.. I might not have known you for as long as others but i really wish this is not true, that you will just wake up and we can talk further about plans for Canada study destination. But seeing your picture and people signing your condolence register at home made me realise you have fought the good fight and finally gone to be with the Lord. Though your departure was sudden, we have found solace in knowing that you are at peace and left this world that is full of many of life's struggles. Rest in Peace Engr. David Abiola Olawale Oni. And may God continually be with the family and loved ones that you left behind.
