D.O! gone to soon. It was an honor knowing you, May your soul rest in Perfect Peace.

Dear D.O,

Words fail...Words fail...I cannot seem to comprehend this! When I got the news, I was irritated and told the person "Is this some kind of April fools day joke?"

My "Uncle" D.O. This is just too heavy!

I remember just last week when I resumed after 4 months maternity, I dropped my bag and hurriedly came to look for you to announce my resumption (God forbid that you run into me or hear from a third party that I was back at work!). You were in a meeting all day and the next working day, I came to look for you again first thing that morning.

You asked when I resumed and i answered "the last working day". You said "so you are just coming to see me". I explained that I had come to look for you earlier and you were in a meeting. You nodded and confirmed this and gave me a huge hug and teased me to kneel down to greet you. You were family to me. Noone else called me by my full name in ARM.

You looked out for me and watched me grow from that naive youth copper to a mother of 2 children and a team head. How you tease me when i was round and heavy and i would maintain that I was still slim!

Or is it how you would make sure I told you about the man in my life while I was dating and before I got married?

Or how I would read a memo and fully understand it before bringing it to you to sign? Two extremes but you pulled it off!

I can go on and on.

I pray the good Lord comforts your wife, daughters, parents, siblings, Uncle Peks, and all those you left behind.

Sleep well D.O....Rest in His eternal peace...



Adenike (as you always called me)

Of life’s deep mystery it is indeed such
That length or breadth, mean not much
Of when or how, we mortals aren’t deigned
Nor from our teary whys, in truth, much gained
But while our ache abounds and lasts
A hopeful intertwining co-joins our paths
In those fey regions whereat we strive
Where past and future is at once alive
So, brother, haste to that blest rest
Tis all the Lord’s doing; his designs are best

Deji, You were such a wonderful guy. I am still deeply shocked to believe that you are gone forever. I remember your support at my Wedding back in '91 and also after Hetty passed. You always had time for everyone and checked on us from time to time. The Lord will strengthen and comfort the family. One day it will all make sense. RIP bro.

Words are not adequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of D.O. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Someone as special as D.O will never be forgotten. He will remain in our hearts for as long as we live. Rest in Peace!!!

Words can't express how I feel at this time but I know for sure that Another Great Man is Gone! I pray that God in his infinite mercies would show you love and accept your soul into his kingdom. RIP DO

The most successful among the human race are the men and women who achieve the noble and significant in their generation."

These things, in retrospect, become the purpose for their existence. We cannot fully succeed in life without purpose.

DO, may God bless you and comfort your family. Your jolly smile and bubbly personality will be missed. Sleep well, e sun re o.

Words fail me.....DO, words fail me......

I still saw you a few weeks back and I told you I just had a baby and you said I didn't look it at all and in fact I was slimmer than what I used to be. You called me a nonsense girl who didn't even bother to check on you and then I told you that I had your number off hand and I read it out to you 08063036421....and that was the first number I typed on my phone when I heard of your demise. I called severally without a response because I could never imagine nor accept it was true.

Your passing away is a rude shock. In as much as you were a Senior Management staff, you were the only one amongst all that will attend any function of your subordinates (including leaving dos). You wished us all well. In spite of how well you played with us, you were a no nonsense person when it came to work. In FINCON then, we would all leave you at work (I remember how I sneaked out then without my bag) and still meet you the next morning already at work. You worked very hard. That was just you, your legacy. I remember how I will go on my knees to greet you and you'd tell me to stop embarrassing you and I will say to you that I hope you know you will soon be a grandpa.......and you will just look at me and smileeee......DO, you left a huge vacuum, How sad. My prayers go out to your wife, Chuchupops, your family in the UK, your parents, your siblings, the ARM family and all those you left behind. I pray God will comfort us all. DO......sun re ooooo. From one of your nonsense girls...

I found it difficult to believe the news on that fateful evening, not having received his mail that same afternoon. His passing has created a great void, no doubt. I will always remember him for his fortitude, gracious smiles and excellent sense of humour. I mourn his passing, but I celebrate his noble life. Although he has left us, his inspiration has not. Adieu D.O.

Sometimes, we only have questions. Sometimes, we only have answers. This time, I am stunned and speechless..I pray to God ask for the strength to bear your exit.. RIP

Deji

Your way of life was indeed inspirational. You were a blessing to me and so many others. You will be deeply missed.

Rest in Perfect and Eternal Peace.

Adieu.....

One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is the death of a loved one.

D.O you were such a wonderful boss. I remember the days when you would see me at Falomo bus stop trying to get a cab to work, you would surely stop to pick me to join you to the office. This touched my heart considering the position you were in the office. Even after leaving ARM Securities, you saw me during the 'RUN FOR THE FUTURE' organized by ARM Pensions, you were so warm towards me and we even ended up taking pictures together.

I pray that God Almighty will console your family and as the bible says 'God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away'

R.I.P Deji Omotoso

At times like these, Words fail.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

My heart goes out the Omotoso family at this time and I pray that the Lord gives them the fortitude to bear this loss. Deji O was always so professional and definitely a gentleman. It was a pleasure working for him and I pray that his soul will rest in perfect peace.

Its a great loss, a big void has been created. Though i never met you, but the good comments i heard and read about you shows you were a good and humble man. You are still young but God knows best. I believe you are in a better place now. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

Olajide.

Our very own CFO is gone DO, ARM and your lovely family will greatly miss you. DO's death came to me as painful and shocking, initially I didn't believe that DO could have passed on. My prayer and wish is God can you bring him back to his family and to ARM. I fondly remember the few times you visited ARM abuja office and you would go round each persons desk to ask how are you doing?, that we can't have from you anymore. I will forever miss you DO and may God Almighty grant you perfect rest . ADIEU Deji O. Till we meet again.

Words still fail me. But I continue to rely on our Heavenly Father for strength.

DO, your sudden passing came as a shock, however, God is Sovereign and knows best. I'm glad that our last encounter, on the day before your passing, was so full of laughter and boyish banter. I have faith that you now rest in the bosom of our Lord, and that you are happy where you are. Our prayers go out for Bisi, your children, your parents, and the rest of the family and friends that you left behind, that Almighty God will grant us all the fortitude to bear the monumental loss marked by your passing. You will be greatly missed. RIP.

Precious in the sight of the Lord are the deaths of His saints.

With gratitude to God for the life you lived; you are and will always be fondly remembered. Your giving heart was legendary as well as your "full of life" attitude.

We love you but God loves you more.

Deji, Baba! As we call you from this end, l am still ruminating, digesting, imagining etc. But alas it is true. You carried passion for everyone around you, no request was too much and you will always say  “Ok, no wahala”. You came into our life and it felt we were the closest to you and so were many others closest to you! Only you could do that. The consolation is that yours was a short and very sweet life. You did what you wanted, when you wanted and how you wanted! In your full and busy life, fatherhood took pre-eminence and l always say of you, l don’t know him as a boyfriend or a husband but l know that he is a very, very, very good father. I can imagine the angels saying kabo, welcome, you were sooooo busy down there but we have prepare rest for you. Amen.
Baba! May God grant you eternal rest Amen.

DO you will definitely be missed, May your gentle soul rest in peace. "Adieu"

'Sir,
Ur demise as again proven that anyone of us can die anytime and probably anyhow. Because we could have argued with death that it shouldn't have been you..you'll always be remembered.
Good night sir'

To a Super Dearest Dad;

Your passing away felt so unreal initially and i struggled to come in terms with reality as the day goes by. I remember you teasing me on who my boyfriend was and when i was going to get married; not knowing that I would end up with your personal person (as its commonly said).

Work was fun with you, you would teach, scold, correct and still love. I miss hearing you call my native name with so much emphasis on the last syllable - ImaBONG and we'll both laugh about it. I have tried getting over this great loss but its hard to most especially when the major part of my day is spent in the same place where you worked till death.

I came to work on Thursday and felt so unsafe as the Fatherly covering i once felt was no longer there. I took the courage to go into your office on Friday and found your computer and AC still working, your bag and every other thing was in place except YOU.

There are so many unanswered questions, so much pain yet to be healed from many people who once felt that warm, loving aura you carried around. In all this, however, I have decided to take solace in the loving arms of the Almighty who cannot be questioned; He knows best.

My heart goes out to Aunt Bisi and the rest of your family, i trust God to comfort them all.

Rest in the bosom of our Father.

Your very own- ImaBONG.

Hi Dee O!
Gone too soon!
Life is a cycle of hellos and goodbyes.
Although I never had a one on one interaction with you, but always saw you from afar.
I know that everything happens for a reason… but sometimes we just don’t know what the reason is.
I pray God strengthens the loved ones you have left behind and grant them the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Rest In Peace Sir!

It’s so sad this is happening to one of us that is well loved and cherished……O death what have you done, may your gentle soul rest in peace. Adieu

A Great  Man Never Dies

The earth has lost one of his kinds, but religion has made me to understand that everything happens for a purpose. I strongly believe that it is you (God) that has called Deji Omotosho to glory.
I can wish him a peaceful rest but please God grant me this simple request….’’Forgive Deji Omotosho his sin & count him worthy among your lamb that will enter your kingdom’’
Thank you God for answering my prayer because I know you have done it.
Deji Omotosho rest well………….

DO, your sudden departure really came as a shock for someone so full of life. Thank you for all your help and mentoring. You were always there for all the people around you and lots more.

You will be greatly missed. I pray for continuous strength for your wife and the entire family on this great loss. May your wonderful soul rest in perfect.

I still can't believe that our world no longer has you in it. That ARM no longer has you in it. Just like yesterday, I remember the day I met you and what you said to me. "If you ever have any problems, my door is always open". DO, this was my first day in ARM, a few people said this to me on that day, but only you ever really meant it. Because 5 years later, true to your words, your door was still open to me and whatever problems I had, on the job, and elsewhere in my life. This was who you were. The bridge between EMC and the rest of us. Your passing left behind a massive vacuum that would be impossible to fill.



I had the pleasure of being a secretary to several committees you chaired, and working with you was one of the best learning experiences of my career in ARM. You taught to raise my standards and I would triple-check everything before I sent it to you. I owe a lot to you, boss!



It always amazed me how I would attend a family function and see you there. And you would say: "nonsense girl, what are you doing here?" and if I asked how you knew the celebrant you would say: "the groom's uncle and I were in so and so together". It always seemed like you knew everyone. But really you didn't. You just ALWAYS showed up for every single person you knew, even we the runts at the bottom of the ARM food-chain.



For years you lived opposite my then-boyfriends parents (now my in-laws), and I would see you on the weekends while I was visiting. You would always ask how the relationship was going, when we were getting married etc. That was just you. A father.



DO, words can't begin to describe how much you would be missed. But I take solace in the fact that this was God's plan all along. I pray that God grants your wife and daughters and us, your friends and colleagues, the absolute strength to bear the pain your passing has caused.



I pray that God grants you eternal peace.



Sun re o, Baba.



From one of your nonsense girls...



Kafilat Emmanuel.

DO, your ever smiling face ....it will be very difficult to forget . Will miss you .

Words fail me DO.so unbelievable....thank you so much for everything....I pray that God gives your entire family and ARM the fortitude to bear this loss.......sleep well Boss.

From one of your nonsense girls.......Bukola.

DO as you were fondly called..... still feels very strange using past tense to describe you. I recall how you engaged me in discussion about my family, social and work life and how much you teased me on my last pregnancy at the stairway. The last time i saw you was just few weeks back when i was in ikoyi office and the usual you did not hesitate to engage me in discussion again, little did i know it was the last together. The news of your death came as a real shock and so much pain. Even in death you will forever be remembered and appreciated for all the advice you gave.... you really are/was a rare gem. I pray God grants your soul eternal rest and comfort your dear family.

Adieu..........

Deji, your smile always lit up a room. That is no more but the memories always live on. Your passing is still hard to believe hoping I will wake up from this bad dream... May your gentle soul Rest in Eternal Peace and may the Lord give your family and the ARM family the strength to bear your passing. Adios xxx

Dear DO,

Still feels like I am about to seek your approval to disburse from the Four Points, or update you on one of our numerous transactions, or just answer for myself on your usual question, 'where is the money?'

You had a tremendous capacity for just about everything! Work, love, friends, family, life! Your ability to listen was matched by the decisiveness of your actions, and it has been a honour to have worked with you.

Now may all that you hold dear be blessed beyond your wildest imaginations and your most vivid of dreams. May the lover of your soul bring comfort to all who grieve for you now and tomorrow. May the sweat of your toil leave a monument to you in the sands of time. May you find rest in the bosom of the Lord.

As you go up hither, Adieu.

Adetope.

D.O you were more than a boss.

I have learnt so much under your tutelage, you taught me many qualities I should possess, the brotherly adivce you gave even on so many personal issues, your love for the work and people at the same time is unparalleled....

You would greatly be missed, I remember the birthday massage you will always give us on our birthdays, you will always come around to everyone, one by one, asking " Is everything under control"....


D.O. though you departed so suddenly, your legacies are ever alive with us....

Eventually onTuesday 5th May 2015 " ....... went to the market and did not return"

We believe you have found rest with the Lord......

Continue to rest in the bossom of your Lord

I noticed everyone called you DO with the same fondness. Newly-recruited-me soon found out why, when you invited me to sit in your office and asked how I was coping in this "new zone".....and you actually waited for my response, without the compulsion to dole out any advice. You asked after my spouse with such sincerity that solved the puzzle as to how you so easily connect with people. If greatest is embedded in the way we relate with those down the ladder.....you are greatness personified. Adieu DO

Uncle, you were such a wonderful and generous fellow always ready to assist and support. 
You will be greatly missed.
Rest peacefully in the blossom of God.

You made your mark. You were a blessing. You had a special grace that made you special to all your friends. There are no words to write. brother. RIP.

Words cannot describe the deep loss I feel since your passing. It all still feels unreal. My dear friend and brother is no more...Never again will I receive many of your usual phone calls or text messages asking after me, uttering the usual words..." Baba! Baba!! Baba!!! e melo ni mo pe e", how u dey? How family?, and asking "when and where are we getting together?". I will miss your usual calls to protest my sometimes not calling you within the first couple days of my arrival in Nigeria during any of my recent frequent trips to Nigeria.

I count myself extremely lucky that sometime during this life I befriended a wonderful human being like Deji Omotoso, whose dedication to work, his family and friends, and zest for life to the full was inspiring.

Deji gave his life so willingly to family, friends and as far as I know his colleagues at work and never expected anything in return. 

I first met Deji during our High School days at Igbobi College. We lost touch after high school for a period of time until about 18 years ago when we reconnected again during one on my visits to the UK from Boston where I was resident at the time. Still resident in North America, Deji and I have since regularly stayed in touch. Over time, Deji and I in company of some our other close friends shared so many memorable and fun times together and our friendship grew to the point that we communicated at least once or twice a week, until this past Tuesday when Deji suddenly left this cruel world without even being allowed the opportunity to say goodbye.

Those of us, who were close to him, will never forget his infectious smile and his compassionate love for his friends and people around him. Deji cared deeply about his friends and always made himself available when called upon, with one of his usual sayings “no wahala”.

I remember some of our jokes, sayings and laughter together that only you and I and a few other close friends would understand like “iru ori wo lo gbe wa sa ye”, “one water to go”. I could go on and on….

It is hard to accept the death of a dear friend; especially when one didn’t have the chance to say goodbye; especially when he was taken so suddenly and so shockingly at the prime of his life, and most especially when it seems like an irreplaceable part of your world is gone. The grief and the pain can be so unbearable; you cry a river and your sorrow knows no end. You never really know what it is like until you are there yourself, but you look to God because only He can comfort you, and only He knows best.

“O ye Olorun”

…..”Baba! Baba!! Baba!!! E melo ni mo pe e”

Good night my dear friend….“sun re o” …till we meet again.

Finally I have realised is not a dream but reality (who will call me Opeku again) ARM I know is you, my oga at the top, Baba, Fincon father, my official father figure, I will miss your fatherly advice. DO you came and you conquered. Safe journey

We would all miss that constant smile and compassion that radiated from you. There was never a dull moment whenever you were around. You may have gotten into Igbobi a year before me even though we were in primary 3 together, you never made me feel like a"junior" boy. Even though we ended up in different professions you always had candid and useful advice -shame one can no longer tap from that well. Our disgraceful roads and poor governance has martyred another hero.

Your light shines on and legacies will live on. Friendship made in 2008....forever in my heart awesome Father and wonderful friend. I will miss everything about you. Even the bone chilling scoldings i got from you. It was done in the name of love. May God comfort your family and Uncle Pekun.

Deji- “Baba” as I fondly called you – words fail me to describe the unimaginable loss and void you have created by your sudden departure. Just that fateful morning you popped your head round my office saying that I should not wait for you and go to lunch since you were going to Ibadan. I asked Ibadan ke as you had not said last night and you answered that you decided this morning to go and support the team. This was typical you. Your commitment and loyalty to your work, family and friends was unquestionable. Your work ethics and integrity were impeccable. I remember so many times when acquaintances would approach you as the CFO asking what “deals” can be done at your company and your answer was always what benefit was in it for the firm. Your integrity was impeccable. You also got on so well with everyone at work and was the link between senior management and staff . Totally approachable and always having an ear for everyone.
On a personal note where do I start. We met at Igbobi College in 1973 and hit it off immediately. We were in the same class till 1975 when the different subjects we chose separated us but we were entrenched in the same values during our formative years and this helped us bond so well over the years. You then went to International School Ibadan and later Ife whilst I stayed in Lagos but our paths still usually crossed over the years socially – and you were a very social and peoples person. Then you returned to Lagos in 1984 to join Coopers and Lybrand and rented this one room apartment in Obanikoro, walking distance from my house in Palm Grove. What fun times as young men!
                 
I left for the UK in May 1989 and you came over in September of the same year and I do not think a week has passed since then that we did not speak to each other. You were always making sure everything was alright and we relied on each other to cope in a foreign land. Your love for life was legendary. You always believed in working hard and playing hard. I remember you always being in the office and spending so many weekend hours at AMC and I would ask why and you would say it had to be done. Just your work ethics - and that was that.

And socially – what a peoples person you were. You related with everyone and had friends in every nook and corner of this world – you always seemed to get on with everyone and even got on better with some of the friends you met through me. Good with numbers and always remembering dates, you always respected any friends celebrations and have travelled to birthday, weddings and special occasions all over the world. Although this was an excuse for you to travel which was one of your other passions, it was also out of a genuine need to support a friend or family. Keen dancer and lover of old school music you would always rock the party .

I know as a Man Utd supporter I was an “arch enemy” of your beloved Arsenal Football club and I remember winning so much money off you in the small bets we made when both teams play. I remember how you would shout and express yourself when they were not playing well but you were fiercely loyal to the team in good and bad times, typical you.

When I relocated back to Nigeria in 2007, I stayed with you for over 6 months and you never let me pay for a drop of water and I guess if not that you were getting married to Bisi I would have still been there for much longer. And did we not party then! We did live life.

A true family man whose love for his children knew no bounds and always put family first. I would ask you why you travelling again and you would answer me in a way that made me understand that it was for family reasons.

You were a great guy inside and out and your counsel and support over the years has been spot on and invaluable . Never forcing your views, we would analyze issues and problems together coming up with truthful and valuable advice getting me to cover all angles.

You were more than a friend to me my brother and your loss has left a huge void in my life. You are irreplaceable and you will be sorely missed.

I take heart from the following famous saying that the fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die anytime . You did live your life to the full and I know you are resting in perfect peace in His bosom

 
Pekun Ozolua

Dear Uncle Deji,

When we found out what had happened to you, we were shocked. We couldn't believe it. It seemed so surreal that you were gone. You were such a great, funny and kind uncle who loved me and my brother a lot. You treated us like your own children and we are really grateful to you for that. The last time we spoke was on my birthday in February and you wished me a wonderful day. We miss you and love you so much; I will never forget you. The only thing that is keeping us going is that we know you are in heaven with our dad and we know you are in a better place. Thank you for being such a wonderful uncle. Rest In Peace,

Jisola and Jibola Omotoso x

Aren't we to feel better as the days go by DO? Why does the pain remain?I have transcended a range of emotions in the days since your home calling. Didn't we just have an intercom conference call? Didn't we just exchange banters in the lunch room barely 24 hours before you left us? 

Over the years my fascination was with your devotion to your children,work, family, friends and your generosity. I could never stop telling people how great a dad you were to your children. This I saw through your actions over the years.

Your attention to detail gave us peace on every work team as we churned out one official document after the other. Weekday, weekend, it mattered not. We worked, we loved it and the output had to be perfect. Every time. Such a consistent person you were!

A zealous, dedicated and hard working man. You spread yourself and thus had a personal relationship with just about everyone of us at work. You knew our spouses and children, even by name. It's unbelievable that one man could spread himself so. A true mark of your generosity.

You were at every send forth held for members of my team. And I recall sitting opposite you at your desk several times , seeking brotherly advice on managing teams effectively and retaining staff. You were always genuinely interested in contributing positively. You had faith in me and my team every step of the way and you went out of your way to ensure you interacted with each member of my team at every point in time.

The impact of this loss is immense. To your family, to your best friends , to your old school mates , to our beloved ARM. I sit here and wonder how we will make it without you here in person. Surely, there is trepidation- but His peace that transcends all understanding garrisons our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Despite this searing pain, I rest assured that our Father's eyes are on Ireoluwa, who lovingly calls my Morenikeji her "baby sister", and Bisi- your peaceful beautiful partner and Pekun, your calm dependable best mate.


Rest in Him who loves you most, He who loves you best, He who has all the answers to our questions. Sun re o egbon.

Dear DO,

I will give everything to hear you tease me again about girls. Everything. You were a great guys. great guys shouldn't die young.

Oga sir!

I don't know where to begin... i have been dreading having to write a tribute as to me it would be saying goodbye....which i wasn't ready for. But i guess it has to be done.

You touched my life in so many ways, from our annual report chronicles where we had to put in long hours at work (we didnt mind the long hours so much as you would run off to buy chicken suya from ikoyi club)... and we all relied on your impeccable attention to detail, to signing off payment requests where you will hold it up and i will be left standing in your office for while until you approved It. To how you will read an email over and over again before sending it off. I always found it funny how you would use flip! Flipping flop instead of cursing...To the budget sessions where you will have your no nonsense hat on!

Over the years we grew close and i always like to think i was your favourite aburo. From discussing family life where you reffered to my husband as IBL, and ireoluwa as chuchu pops. Your devotion to your family was amazing. Your trips to the UK to make family commitments where i will tease you "oga sir! Goodnight Lagos! Good morning London"
At the lunch room with the paper napkin so you don't soil your shirt! Our banters in your office.... analysing how our team was getting on in the league, you trying to teach me french, We always had a good laugh. Memories memories memories.

On my last day i went to say goodbye and you said you were going to give me your blessings for a safe delivery. We hugged and laughed...I left off saying i will be back in time for your birthday. You sent me several emails whilst i was away, checking on me with the favourite opening - "agbobabs" or "barabara".

You will be missed dearly by ALL.

With a heavy heart i say goodbye my friend...my boss - "oga sir! with all due respect" - Rest in perfect peace till we meet again

Dej-iii- See you later, see you tomorrow, I’ll check on you when I am in town, give me a call when you are in town - these are favorite departing greetings.

As usual, when you, Otunba Sho and I were departing from Martini Club in NJ during you last visit; we exchanged similar greeting, not knowing that the tomorrow, later, soon…. with you will be in another realm.

Well, you’ve ran a successful race. Your unexpected departure has made all comrades realized that the race is not going to be forever. Every day is a blessing? Your infectious, worriless, smile will keep us focus while running the race.
We will surely miss you. God will give family and friends the fortitude to cope and continue the good race.
We are looking forward to the day when we shall meet to part no more.
Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” (John 11:25)
We have faith.

Deji,
It was only last October that we bumped into each other on a flight to PH both on a business trip. We sat together and you talked till the end of the trip because I said I hate turbulence and jumped at every shake to the aircraft. 'take your mind off it' you said and chatted on.
Sad to have to write on forevermissed for Deji Omotosho. Haba!
May your ever bubbly happy responsible caring soul rest in perfect peace. Amen
Ngozi

To say you will be missed is a massive understatement…..

I did not believe it when I heard the sad news late at night and said to myself, there must be a terrible mix up somewhere. You had a larger than life personality. The following day I went straight to your office but……

Our paths crossed at ARM, you started off as my boss and then as my brother–in-law’s friend but as time went on you became a personal friend to me….

You were at my late sister's funeral in Kent UK, at my father-in-law’s funeral in Ilupeju, visited my house in Crown Estate….
 
You always introduced me as “The Only Aston Villa Supporter in Nigeria”. I was looking forward to the FA Cup final with your beloved Arsenal and our banter afterwards….

I recollect our last conversation in the ARM lunch room the day before, if only I knew….

It really has been quite difficult….

I pray the Almighty, the Alpha & Omega, Beginning & The End comforts and strengthens your lovely wife, children, parents, brothers, friends, colleagues at ARM and elsewhere IJN Amen.

Rest well DO!
