THERE IS NO NIGHT WITHOUT A DAWNING

There is no night without a dawning,
No winter without a spring;
And beyond death’s dark horizon
Our hearts, once more, will sing

For those who leave us for a while
have only ‘gone away’
Out of a restless, careworn world
Into a brighter day.

May the soul of our ‘brother’ rest in perfect peace. Take heart dear Jumoke. Our Lord Jesus Christ will surely comfort you, the children and grand children. Amen.

Shocked and speechless was my reaction whe I heard the new fo Dr Amole passing. He's been a father figure in my life, a great man that believes in the success of everyone. Memory takes me back to when I wanted to travel abroad to study as a teenager, in the fear of my parents, Dr Amole stood to encourage them and personally gave me my first ever winter coat. I'll cherish that memory for life Sir.

I speak of you in the present because for me .. you live on and your legacy will always remain with me. You are a man of true honor, integrity and love. Really these days would one fine someone like you. Sir .... we would never forget you... your light shines on never to be put out by the claws of death. Rest in the Lord sir.

I met Dr.Amole through a friend who referred me to him when my dad was down kidney failure.He allayed our fears and encouraged Dad to hold unto life despite the severity of the situation.

My Dad until his death was certain that Dr.Amole had his best interest at heart.He took care of him until his last breathe in February 2020.

Dr.Amole was a great doctor and heaven has surely gotten an angel.Heaven's gain,our loss.Adieu Doc.

Very Great Man. You called me and told me that congratulations your wife is 3 weeks pregnant. A great news from him. You also savwd my life when i had Food poisoning. May God grant you rest.

It's heartrending to hear the sad news of Dr. Niyi Amole's death. "Negi" as he was fondly called in those early days in lbadan Grammar School was a quintessential Grammarian and classmate of mine. In those seven years we were together in the Grammar School, he exhibited the qualities of a quiet and responsible gentleman. He was a man of many parts. He was apt at finding solutions to problems outside his realms. He was never lacking in personality or charm. He showed great leadership qualities; no wonder he was appointed a School Prefect and Captain of his House. He had a kind heart and a friendly disposition to all. It is painful and an irony of life that we never met again since we parted ways in 1969. Now he is gone to meet with the Lord and we shall meet again at the feet of our Lord Jesus. My deep condolences to the immediate family, loved ones, friends and the Ibadan Grammar School Old Students (IGSOSA) Family. May the Lord grant us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. It is our prayers that his gentle soul will rest in the bossom of the Lord and God shall grant him safe passage to paradise. Adieu.

TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DR. ADENIYI ADEYEMI AMOLE, FRCS BY CHIEF ADETUNJI AMOLE

By ordinary human calculation, a tribute on an occasion like this is supposed to be from my dear departed brother to my life. But who are we to question God on His prerogative on everything for His ways are not ours:

It is with a deep sense of loss that I write this Tribute in honour of a highly treasured brother, Dr. Adeniyi Adeyemi Amole. The consolation that I have is that you are resting in the bosom of the Lord. All the memories, time shared with you and lessons learnt will never be forgotten by me.

I will always remember your exceptional commitment to being a blessing throughout your lifetime. You were so kind and selfless even to the very end of your life. You were a veritable source of pride to all who knew you and you will surely be remembered for good because you left indelible marks everywhere you treaded.

Niyi had a life of godliness. He was a man of genuine love and goodwill, humility personified, always caring with passionate feeling for the good of everyone around him even in his private life. He was full of wisdom and grace, and his life was characterised by courage. He was a touchstone of integrity, honesty, fair play and high ethical standard in his medical practice.

His loyalty to his friends and any cause he believed in was total. Footprints of lovingness, gentleness and kindness he left behind can never be forgotten. He looked like a superman but right inside him was a very soft highly emotional man. He demonstrated this on 18th December, 2018 when paying Tribute to Mama on her 90th birthday celebration, where he betrayed emotion.

Niyi loved his wife, children, siblings and family members and all those who crossed his path. His children were indeed the most sublime source of joy and happiness he had. He bestowed his love for education to these children and I thank God for their lives.

Niyi took me as a special brother, even accorded the father-figure to me. He took care of me the way a child takes care of his father, frequently asking for my health status. I am going to miss him for this and other reasons. He believed so much in routine investigative diagnosis. He would periodically ask me to come to Lagos for such medical examinations even in facilities outside his Lister Medical Centre at his own cost. I will eternally cherish all these unsolicited favours from him.

Niyi’s trips to Ibadan and beyond were not complete without calling on me and Ronke my sister, not minding the long distance between our two residences. He was a remarkably trusting and trusted brother who brought a lot of laughter not only to his siblings and family members but, also for those who were privileged to have met him.

“Do all the good you can by all the means you can, in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,
at all the time you can,
as long as you can”

Niyi, the aforementioned quote from John Wesley best captures your eventful life. To say that I greatly miss you is to state the obvious. I will ceaselessly uphold your tenets of brotherhood, goodness and accommodation.

May your home-call sustain the unity and harmony in the various families related to you.

May you continue to work for God as you have done for Him on earth.

Chief Adetunji Amole

It hurts my heart to write this. Big daddy was someone who would sacrifice his time and energy for others , as he did for my siblings and I time and time again. It is something I will always appreciate and hold dear to me. His authenticity and kindness is something that will never be forgotten and I know Heaven has gotten another angel. Rest in perfect peace Big daddy.

Meeting Dr Amole after my daughter's demise in 2008, the word " be strong " had a different meaning to me after listening to him speak to me for those few minutes.
Dr Amole was a great physician you will always love to see or talk with. Is it his calm nature? His relationship with his patients? We will miss you but we are assured of where you are because your work here in mortality speaks for you. The holy scripture teaches that "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Doctor sail on.

One fateful day my wife was ill over night and we decided to visit Lister Medical Centre. Fortunately we met daddy. Before we got there, my wife was running temp and looked seriously I'll but as we saw daddy he said (as he always refers to me) "Mr Ayeni, how are you? Who is sick today." I responded it was my wife and after she narrated how she felt, he said "it's not a problem. Don't worry yourself... Just take this and that" and before we got home my wife was well. That's the Dr Amole's touch. His experience in the medical field is so overwhelming and gives you the patient so much confidence. My family and I will surely miss him. Rest on daddy

I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Big Daddy (as we called him) is not here with us anymore. He was one of the calmest and most heroic people I knew and one thing I can live with is knowing that he lived a life that acted as a guide to many. I am at peace knowing you are in a better place now.
May your soul rest in perfect peace.

I never knew I would not see Dr Amole anymore. I never knew I would be seeing him for d last time on that faithful day of Tuesday, 12th January 2021!! What a pity. What a loss!! What stupid Mr DEATH did to me to make me lose my doting patient-friendly Dr!!! IKU DORO! O MU ENI RERE LO!!! IT IS NOT BY ITS POWER ANY WAY. BUT D WILL OF GOD I WOULD CALL DR AMOLE'S UNTIMELY DEATH ON THAT FAITHFUL MONDAY I HAD APPOINTMENT AT HIS LISTER MEDICAL CENTRE, 6B Obanta Avenue, Ikeja!!
nta Aven


I first came in contact with Dr Amole in 2018. I had carried a cyst from 2014 to that year. A small cyst then.
Due to delays and what I term negligence of medical personnel in our hospitals, d cyst grew to a very large cancer that almost took my life. Dr Amole saved me. For d first time since 2014,it was him that did not just read reports that were sent on d various pictures of scans and xrays I had done, BUT HE WAS D FIRST DOCTOR TO TAKE A DEEP LOOK AT D MANY SCANS PHYSICALLY. HE WAS ABLE TO DISCOVER THAT AN OPERATION SHOULD HAVE LONG TIME BEEN DONE!!!
Dr Amole was very calm with his patients. Very reassuring to them. Built confidence in d patients that no operation is difficult or not possible to carry out!!!
I never knew he was already battling with life when I sent him photos of my health complaints to him but was not read on looking up d Wassap page! Very unusual with him to get complaints from patients and not respond. D 3rd day after sending d complaints and d pictures, I discovered u had not read them!! I became upset and angry!! I then contacted Dr Yussuf complaining that u did not respond to all I sent to u on Wassap, messages on d phone nor answered all calls I made to u!! Dr Yussuf then asked me to come to d Centre on Monday, 8th February, d day u passed on to glory!!
I pray d Lord upholds ur beautiful and also caring wife who always visited me in my ward when I was still there. I pray d Lord to sustain her, mama, ur 90+ old mum, d children and family members u had left behind. I pray God to keep d medical center u established to take care of others. U died while working to save d life of others. Dr Yussuf and other doctors, d matron, nurses, admin personnel will miss u too. They have all cultivated your habits of gentility, humility, caring and assuring words to calm down fearful and anxious patients.
Good night my dear doctor Adeniyi Amole. U always call me auntie, I will miss u, too. Ditto all patients u must have attended to during ur life time. Adieu, my fine unassuming doctor.

Death is a debt every born man will pay as enjoined in Ecclesiastes 3v2...there is time to be born and time to die!! Time for our own to pay d debt will come, when we shall all meet with u at d 2nd phase of life of all humans, to part no more. Good night. Sleep calmingly on d bossom of Abraham and d Lord...
MRS Ogunsanwo, "my auntie," as u usually called me.

I received with the most painful heart the sad news of the death of our loving Niyi - a medical doctor with most extreme passion for God and humanity - family, friends and all. He demostrating this attitude several decades ago when he was in Ibadan. Niyi was always around to check on my then little twins when they were sick, checking them and giving positive advice. Infact, he was always available until his death. Our man is an embodiment of humility, He was humility personified, a gentleman indeed. No words can describe the effect of the loss and the consequent vacuum created by his sudden departure. We will all miss him. I pray that God will grant his gentle soul perfect peace and give Mama, the mother, Jumoke,the wife,children with the siblings and all of us, the fortitude to bear the sad loss. We take consolation in our belief that he lived well served well and had proceeded to rest in the bosom of his Lord at his appointed time.

A Tribute on behalf of The Ogun Family

Ever so soft spoken.
A man of honour.
A man of faith.
With an uncanny ability to put you immediately at ease.
Gifted with healing hands.
We will miss his calm manner and quiet assurance.
His knowledge and expertise.
Most of all, we will miss him.
Not just the doctor, but the man himself.
Sleep well, Dr Amole and may the Angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet you at your arrival and lead you into the holy city, Jerusalem. 
May the choir of Angels greet you and like Lazarus, who once was a poor man, may you have eternal rest.

It is with a heavy heart that the management and staff of Abiye Maternal and Child Health International Foundation (AMCH) mourn Dr. Adeniyi Amole, our Founding Chairman, Board of Trustees, who passed away this month.

Beyond his invaluable guidance as chairman, Dr. Amole was a mentor and a role model, effortlessly knowing when to listen, when to inspire, when to encourage and when to push. On more occasions than I can recount, he willingly went beyond the call of duty to support others, showing us all the transformative power of sacrifice and generosity. Despite his many accomplishments, he always displayed a kindly and humble manner, leading others through a consistent, commendable example. He lived his life as many aspire to do but few achieve.

He will be sorely missed by all of us at AMCH. It is a loss that cannot be easily replaced, but we know and rejoice that he is with our Heavenly Father. We convey our sincere condolences as well as our prayers and support to his entire family.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Rest easy Dr. Amole. I will never forget all the times you treated me as a child, and how you helped me get over my fear of injections. Now that you are gone, trips to the hospital will never be the same. At least you are in a better place. May your soul rest in eternal peace

Uncle Neggi, as i always knew him was one of my Dad's closest friend from his Med School days. He was always a warm and delightful person to be around. Always positive, always willing to help, always willing to advise and most of all, always smiling. You will be sorely missed and we can never forget you. We take solace in the massive impact you made in this world. May your Soul Rest in Peace and may The Lord grant your family (us) the Grace to deal with this heavy loss

Major .G. E. M. Apassa . (Rtd)

Dr Amole, we thank God for a very beautiful life spent. You actually finished well and strong. You were just an exemplary of a real man complete in Christ. A man that was so loving, caring and generous to his wife, Sister Jummy, Children, Grandchildren, Extended Family, Friends, Staff and Patients including his Church Family. God will continue to strengthen and comfort you all at this time Amen in Jesus' Name!
Dr Amole was an extremely organised man as displayed in Denmark and during Dr Fadeke Oyeniya-Ajayi's Wedding Ceremony in America. A man full of humility to everyone as exhibited by honouring the invite to my daughter's Wedding Ceremony in Lagos.
God knows best and we should continue to trust Him! May Dr Amole's gentle soul rest in perfect peace! Amen and Amen!

Met Dr. Amole when I had an accident on August 13, 2019 during Ileya festival, my younger sister took me to his clinic in Ikeja off Oba Akran, we became friends immediately, we leveled up intellectually, he treated my hand wounds and recommended a neck collar. It was a rude shock when I learnt about his demise while trying to help a friend he caught the virus. May his gentle benevolent soul rest in perfect peace. Amen

So hard to believe that a good man like you had gone. You thought me everything I know today; you were my father on my wedding day. You have impacted and touched lives; you put others first at the detriment of your health; others come first before you. When I was at work you would ask me "Sola nko" and I would tell you "he is fine". You would say "bami ki" You were such a wonderful father, caring and loving. A father full of kindness and mercy. We never lose contact even when I had my first child that my husband informed him, he was so happy.

On the 1st of February 2021, I sent him a new month message only for him to tell me that he was down with COVID. Strong and full of hope on his sick bed, he said to me "I will be fine by the grace of God" and I prayed with him. If I had known that that would be the last time I would talk to my daddy again I would have cried out loud more to God for mercy and second chance. But who are we to question God? I give God all the glory because daddy knew God before his death. Adieu my best Doctor and amazing Daddy. We will continue to miss you.

Sola and Ngozi Adewumi

It is really quiet tragic that Dr Amole is Gone! Our dear Dr Amole! Such a lovely man; Kind compassionate, very caring and extremely pleasant. Dr Amole was Our Doctor...young and old and always had time for all his patients; Never in a hurry to dismiss you, He took his time to explain your diagnosis...treatment...everything and made one feel so at ease while doing so! His passing has left a huge vacuum for us all. I pray God Almighty will console and uphold Aunty and his entire family. Amen. We will miss you Dr Amole. Rest well.

Our deepest condolences to the family of our dear friend, Dr Adeniyi Amole. He was a true Christian who lived a life of sacrifice and dedication to the oath of his career. A deeply compassionate and true gentleman, he was committed to the service of others in less fortunate circumstances.
As founding chairman of Abiye Maternal and Child Health International Foundation, Dr Amole was an exemplary leader, championing all her causes and contributing in all ways in making them a reality. He will be sorely missed by us at AMCH. It is a loss that cannot be easily replaced. We however rejoice that he rests in the bosom of God.
We convey our sincere condolences as well as our prayers and support to his entire family especially his wife, aged mother, children and grandchildren.
May His gentle soul rest in peace.

A TRIBUTE TO DR. NIYI AMOLE: THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM.

Oh, death, where is your sting, oh grave where is your victory?
How can I, in few words, write the tribute of a man I have come to trust and rely heavily on. Will I talk of how you stood by me and saw me through the difficult period of my father’s ill health (that he is alive today is because of God using you to work his miracle), or will I talk of my children who were brought into this world by your hands, or caring for my mother, my wife (who you treat like your daughter), or my patients who never want to see anyone else after seeing you. My confidence in you was so high, that I had several times imagined that if I was in a severe health crisis (perhaps at the point of death), at those times in my imagination, I would always tell those around me to take me to Dr. Amole; having the confidence that I would be well and back to health once I can get to you.
Dr. Amole has cared for several generations of my family. So dedicated is he to the care of all who come to him that they never want to leave him. His listening ear is never full, and his humility reaches to the sky. He always knows how to make you feel at home and finds the right words to soothe the pain, in his wisdom. All the patients I have ever sent to him for healing don’t look elsewhere but simply bring others to him. I have thought deeply about who can replace Dr. Amole, and simply put, I have found none. Many of us are troubled because the unexpected has happened. We seek Dr. Amole and cannot find him. Simply, there is NONE LIKE HIM. None so humane, so kind, so humble, so intelligent, so open, so skilled and so truthful at all times.
Sir, all whom I have announced you're passing away to have been broken; some grieving to the point of ill health, while for others sleep and desire for food flee. Troubled and heavy is our heart this day because we see you no more. We are sad and hurt because you will not heal and remove our complaints again. Though our tears flow, we are not comforted since you cannot hear our complaints.
In death, your worth and glory are apparent to all. All say the same thing " THERE IS NO ONE LIKE DR. AMOLE." Nigeria has lost an icon, and we know this. We shall tell everyone so. You will be sorely missed by many.
But we rejoice in the hope that we shall see you again. Therefore, we sing the famous anthem "But thanks, thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ".

...and the Lord took Him Home

Some time ago, while discussing with Dr. Amole, he jokingly told me he was having some “trouble” with his family over his refusal to accede to a request of having an American immigrant visa filed for he and his wife. When l asked the reason behind this, he responded, “Yemi, when l go to America, l won’t be useful there, but in this place, l can help a lot of people and continue to serve in my church here. Anyway,l have now given my consent, but only for my wife personally; and the reason l didn’t permit it earlier, was that l don’t think l can live without her if she goes”.

The above conversation encapsulates the life Dr. Amole lived - a life of service to humanity.

Thus, when l heard that he had passed onto glory, as tears streamed down my eyes, l just kept saying, “the Lord took him Home”, and this is my firm believe!

Dr. Amole had (it’s hard to refer to him in past tense) numerous attributes which in summary, made him an exceptional person and a doctor with a CONSCIENCE. He had a knack of listening patiently and ameliorating any fear with words of positivity, and with the hope of a positive outcome.

Indeed, he was a loyal friend. Having being introduced to him by his bosom friends, Dr.& Dr.( Mrs) Made and Mowunmi Oyeniya, he was my earthly family doctor for almost 2 decades. In all my visits to him within this period, he never collected a dime as consultation fee from my children and l. I believe this was a mark of his loyalty to his friends! More so, anytime l complained on this, he said “you’re my aburo, please feel free to come, and if you run away because l don’t collect money, l’ll be angry with you’’. He was so generous and selfless with his time, that you could phone call him several times for consultation without feeling like a burden.

Off the medical field, his human relations was excellent, and when you sought counsel from him, he will be the one pursuing you to know how the “situation” is going.

He was a father to many!

He was a brother to many as well.

Gifted by God, he had no air of pride within him.

You had money or you didn’t, he was interested in your case and pursued your wellbeing.

Young or old, he was respectful to all.

Approachable? Yes, he was.

Relatable? Yes, he was!

While God is the only righteous judge of all whom He created, He gives us a glimpse of His way of judging the works of our hands according to Matt 25: 31-46. In my own very infinitesimal understanding, l believe Dr. Amole fulfilled this scripture.

The charge to anyone reading this tribute, for those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ - work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12), and for those who are yet to make the commitment of Jesus Christ being your personal Lord and Savior, l urge you to please do so.

Dr. Amole was a useful and beautiful vessel in God’s hands. He will be missed, but his legacy will live on.

THE "FEEL GOOD DOCTOR" HAS GONE TO REST WITH HIS MAKER!
"- Tribute by Cornelius Tay & Caroline Olabisi Tay.

"As long as we are good, we are truly great. True value in life is not measured in what we have, but in what we do; not in what people think and do for us, but by what we think and do for people". (Henry D. Taylor, 1962).

Dr. Niyi Amole thought and did more for people - high and low, poor and rich - than most people we ever came across anywhere in the world.
He was exceptional in character and vocation. Indeed, he would easily qualify for classification as one of Nigeria's great men.
Our true friend, medical adviser, physician and brother has finally passed through the veil to immortality!
As a gifted spirit child of the Eternal Father, GOD Almighty, Dr. Niyi Amole has gone to meet his Maker. He has fulfilled the will of his Heavenly Father. He has responded to GOD's call for him to come home to rest. For all whose paths crossed Dr. Niyi Amole's in mortal life, let us rejoice and be grateful for knowing him. For Dr. Niyi Amole was truly GOD's answer to many people who prayed and fasted for blessings of healing from diverse sickness and physical afflictions.
Together with his beloved and ordained wife, Mrs. Jumoke Amole, and all the devoted staff of Lister Medical Center in Ikeja, Lagos, Dr. Niyi Amole gave hope to thousands to overcome pain or distress and live. My wife and I fondly referred to Dr. Niyi Amole as the "feel good" Doctor. He made all who came to him to really feel good.

Till we meet again, dear Niyi, go well. We will always remember...

Dearest, compassionate and kind Doctor Amole, I will miss you greatly.

You were so kind and generous to me, a patient you had never met before. Every single time I came to your clinic and met you, I left encouraged and with hope in my heart. This is why I was confident to refer so many people to you. You not only knew the medical practice, you were empathetic and solution driven. You were a TRUE Doctor. I sincerely believe God used you to minister health and hope to me over the years. I remember when I felt despair over a medical condition and you told me, "Don't worry, you will be alright and you will have another baby". God bless you for me Sir. Stay secure in the blessed arms of our glorious Lord.

Sleep well Sir.

Uncle Niyi, it is hard to come to terms with your passage!!! I pray that God comforts your immediate family and we, the extended family as well.
You were a father indeed, not just to family but to everyone. How would someone explain that your very well-mannered staff at The Lister Medical Centre referred to you as 'Daddy'? That was uncommon in a professional workspace but that was who you were.

You were a surgeon par excellence, you were my first. At 7 years old, you incised my boil near my ear (the scar reminds me) in the most gentle manner. The experience has refused to leave me. Your loving arms were opened to my mum, your 1st cousin at several times. At her medical diagnosis in 2017, I remember breaking down in your office, sobbing and saying my world had collapsed. You said to me, 'Bunmi, ma worry, sister maa wa alright', 'I will walk this journey with you'. And you did till the very end!! Her surgery was done and she has been faring relatively well. Last December, when I brought her to TLMC, you introduced her to some of your staff again as your sister. You never failed to say to her, 'sister, e maa waa alright'. Your Doctors, Nurses and Admin Staff took perfect care of her.

My sister and friend, Bola Otubu said to me about 20 years ago, 'Uncle Niyi is the only doctor I trust in Nigeria' We will miss you so much. You gave your all, many times insisting on not paying medical bills because you would say, 'She is my sister'. It was always a battle as we had to do it behind your back. I often wondered how TLMC was breaking through with so many 'pro bono' medical services.

You emptied yourself to the service of humanity and I dare say that you died empty having lived a full life. You were larger than life, an Iroko tree fell indeed. We are comforted that you have gone to rest with our maker and that you knew Him.

Rest well, Uncle Niyi. This leaves a deep pain in my heart. We will never forget you. My heart goes out to Aunty Jumoke, because Jesus lives, you will face tomorrow ma.

Sunre oo, eni rere, oninu re!!

Dr Amole
You were a quintessential gentleman
An excellent ,highly intelligent doctor
Each time I come for consultation, I leave your office highly satisfied and relieved
You will forever be missed sir
May The Lord comfort mummy and your children
It is well

Dr Amole ,you were not my doctor but a good father and grand father to my kids.Adeola Aiyenowo will miss you a lot,rest in peace dad.

Our heart goes to the Amole family. May Dr Amole's soul rest in.perfect peace. May the Lord comfort the entire family for this irreparable loss. I pray that God Almighty will heal this pain lJN.
Sleep on gloriously!

Adieu Dr Amole. A Gentleman Professional. You Consult him and you feel your problem is solved. Rest in peace.
May God give the Family the fortitude to bear the loss.
Mr & Mrs Olumoh

This is a difficult tribute to write! Dr Amole, you took care of everyone you came across. Genuinely concerned about everyone's welfare. Always taking out time to explains issues and reassure us. It was a huge shock hearing the news.

You were a very good man with true love for humanity. May your soul rest in peace and may the Lord comfort your loved ones. This is so painful but we trust that God knows best

The news of the death of Dr Adeniyi Amole on Monday, the 8th February 2021, sent shock waves to all, who knew him, because of the peculiarity and nature of his personality. A general surgeon of astounding capability and achievements, Dr Amole and his family and ours were co-residents at the LSDPC medium housing estate, Ijaiye Ogba. Our flats were opposite each other, that we could chat across our corridors. Having a seasoned surgeon so close to us, was God's blessing and we took advantage of that and saddled him, with all our medical problems. By his humane nature, he always willingly and cheerfully accepted any of our requests.

If there is any medical doctor that lives up to the tenets of the Hippocratic Oaths to letters, it was Dr. Adeniyi Amole We could knock on his door at midnight for medical help and he would oblige happily.
Peaceful, gentle, humble, kindhearted, generous, caring, dedicated, committed, patient and cheerful, Dr. Adeniyi Amole, lived to the service of humanity. He sacrificed himself for others. Niyi, you are too good to die at the time you did. We have often asked why our God allows good people to die prematurely, we are yet to receive any satisfactory answer.

It is our prayer that the Almighty God would succour his survivors, particularly his wife, children, siblings and his mother. Our God and Father would bless his wife, strengthen and empower her to continue where Niyi left off.

Niyi, we miss you immensely and I'm sure that all those who have had one thing or the other to do with you, will equally miss you.

I had a brief contact with Dr Amole in his life time and even at that he gave me an everlasting impression. As a medical doctor, he was diligent, humane and compassionate. At the consultation room, he was always full of life, he would patiently and carefully listen to your complaints before taking a decision. No doubt we shall all miss him but I pray to the Almighty God to grant him a pleasant place in Heaven and uphold his entire family in Jesus Name.

I am still in shock, but I accept you are gone. I was introduced to you by a family friend and since then, you accepted me and my entire family wholeheartedly. Thank you for all the support and love shown to my family in our time of despair and loss (my mum &sister). You asked so little but gave so much to everyone around you. We love you but God loves you more. Rest in Peace Daddy, Rest in Peace Dr Amole.   Tejumade and Dr Tola Ajibade

A SHORT TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF THE LATE DR. ADENIYI AMOLE BY HRM KABESI OBA S.A AJIBADE, OJIKUTU JOYE II, OLOBI OF ILOBI. YEWA SOUTH L.G OGUN STATE.
I write this short tribute, mourning the loss of a greatman.
Dr. ADENIYI AMOLE'S transition is a great loss for me and his patients generally.

He was unassuming, an embodiment of humility, kindness and gentleness - truly a soft soul.     He was smooth in style and steady in character. He was a fine specimen of man. We love you Doc., But God loves you more. May your noble soul rest in peace. May God also give Mrs AMOLE and the children strength to bear the loss. Amen

It will be an understatement to say that I was shocked when my son (a Doctor and friend of Dr. Yusuff) called that fateful Monday, February 8, 2021 to find out where I was. I told him I was home. Then, he broke the unpleasant and shocking news of your demise! 
For days after, the news was unbelievable. Because I still saw you in the hospital shortly before Christmas in December 2020, when I went to visit a patient on Admission.
As one of your numerous patients who hold you in very high esteem because you're a Doctor of Doctors, an astute Professional who knows his onions, a perfect gentleman. To say you're sorely missed is an understatement. 
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
My heartfelt condolences to your amiable Widow, children and the entire family.

Although as a family so devastated by the home call of Papa Dr. Amole have since sent our tribute. However, I will like to share with us all grieving, especially his Dear wife, the children and the entire family. We can only continue to pray God himself to take over comforting them and grant them peace no man can give through the power of the Holy Spirit as this trying time.

His legacy of unequal, unselfish service to humanity , love and counsel to make people feel at ease in face of challenges shall not die. God shall raise people to feel this great gap in his home, family, church and his service- The Lister Hospital in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Pls read through this piece that came to me the second day I heard of the devastating new of Papa’s exist.  Mama and children,pls be comforted. God’s hand uphold you and strengthen you. May we be comforted in Jesus name.
Papa continue to rest well in Gods bossom where I pray I shall meet you and your good heart to part no more.

A Joyful Celebration
Anne Cetas
The wedding of the Lamb has come. Revelation 19:7

Revelation 19:1–9

Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:26–50
My friend Sharon passed away one year prior to the death of my friend Dave’s teenage daughter Melissa. They both had been tragically killed in car accidents. One night both Sharon and Melissa were in my dream. They giggled and talked as they hung streamers in a large banquet hall and ignored me when I stepped into the room. A long table with white tablecloths had been set with golden plates and goblets. I asked if I could help decorate, but they didn’t seem to hear me and kept working.

But then Sharon said, “This party is Melissa’s wedding reception.”

“Who’s the groom?” I asked.

Neither responded but smiled and looked at each other knowingly. Finally, it dawned on me—it’s Jesus!

“Jesus is the groom,” I whispered as I woke up.

My dream brings to mind the joyful celebration believers in Jesus will share together when He returns. It’s portrayed in Revelation as a lavish feast called “the wedding supper of the Lamb” (19:9). John the Baptist, who prepared people for the first coming of Christ, had called Him “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). He also referred to Jesus as “the bridegroom” and to himself as the “friend” (like the best man) who waited for Him (3:29).

On that banquet day and for all eternity we will enjoy unbroken fellowship with Jesus, our groom, and with Sharon and Melissa and all of God’s people.

I look forward to that day of celebration and seeing You, Jesus. Come quickly.

I could not hold the phone I used to receive the news of your death. I cried immediately with no one to console me, as I was alone at that time. I still find it hard to believe this. I didn't know that your last birthday that we your doctors celebrated you, was going to be the very last.

You were a father to me, the reason I didn't detach from you when I got another job. I also found out that people find it hard to completely go off you after a first contact. The wisdom I learned from you kept me close to you because I haven't seen anyone with such wisdom. Your openness is all to none. Your appreciations to just small gestures marveled me. The tenecity with which you held God made me have a re- think and I copied that down to its practice .
The best practices in medicine I have today came from you. I have always prayed for your type of humanitarian spirit. Be rest assured that what I got from you must be reciprocated to the younger generation by the grace of God.

I know you are in the bosom of the Lord. I will see you soon if Christ comes soon, but if He tarries,then we shall see at the sound of the trumpet. Go well Baba.

A LIFE OF TOTAL LOVE AND SELFLESS SERVICE TO HUMANITY
My Dear Uncle Niyi,
What can i say about you? I don't even know how to start or what to say, 'cos i am extremely upset and devastated.
Uncle 'Niyi, you are a rare human bred.
You have been my mentor right from birth and you will always be. You practically knew me from birth. You loved me so much, I know and i love you too. You have had a wonderful impact in my life as in so many people's lives and trust me Uncle, when i say I am proud of you. You are Enigma.
Right now, you are face to face with Christ. My dear Uncle through thick and thin never accepted defeat, only trusting the Lord.
You possessed a striking and unfeigned humility, childlike innocence, total dedication to your medical profession, family and Godliness.
Dr. Adeniyi Adeyemi Amole was God's gift to us all and to the world. You had a heart of gold. You were lively, accommodating and reaching out indiscriminately to family and foreigners alike. Even when you did not have immediate solution to our problem, you always had a word of encouragement and re-assurance to hang on till solution arrived.
Daddy, you were extremely self-discipline, hardworking and almost perfectionist in self-set standard. you were loving to a fault and easy to reconcile when offended, if the offender really showed he/she cared.
My Uncle / Daddy as many of us called him in the hospital, was never a fetish person. He solely rely on God and the power of prayer. Dr. Adeniyi Amole tried to have a proper relationship with everyone he came in contact with.
My Uncle was scrupulously kind and could sacrifice his all for someone in need of his professional and human capabilities. You were always searching for harmony and peace at home and work environment. You stringently avoided vulgar language and violent confrontations with anybody or group of people.
Although it is not a function of how long, but how well a life was lived that makes for celebration or desolation, Daddy, with your call to rest at age 69years, you have made your indelible mark as a successful God-sent to humanity with your profession and wherewithal. Ironically, Uncle 'Niyi, you are leaving a multitude of orphans, and near destitute for which you became a source of life, comfort and hope.
Your sudden, unexpected and shocking departure is still very unthinkable, almost impossible to apprehend and comprehend. It is difficult to imagine such a bundle of life and joy lying prostrate and still, breathless and forlorn subject to decay in dust.
Now in your death Uncle 'Niyi, you have won like Jesus Christ the greatest victory of all - Eternal Life.
Almighty God will never leave nor forsake the Family you left behind and all the multitudes of souls you gave hope and help in distress to when on this planet 'Earth'. 
I have had to ask God several questions on 'why this' and 'why that' but He quickly cautioned and reminded me that He is Unquestionable.
I take consolation in the Holy Scriptures, Isaiah 57:1-2 which says: The Righteous perish, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from evil to come. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his righteousness.
My dear Uncle, you completed your race gracefully, no doubt, already united with your maker in HEAVEN.
You brought memory and hope to the lives of many people. You were very generous to the poor and needy and gave hope to the hopeless.
I only pray that the good works will go before you and win you a place in God's Kingdom in HEAVEN, a place without pain or panicking.
I cannot be the same again, no doubt. Tears fill my eyes any moment i think of your sudden call-up to rest. All i can do is keep on praying. Only God can help me. My family and I will miss you so much. In fact one of my children is already asking me, 'Daddy who will treat us when we are sick?'. God will help me to give a satisfactory answer to him.
UNTIL the RESURRECTION morning, ADIEU my beloved Uncle and Father,   DR. ADENIYI ADEYEMI AMOLE.
ETERNAL REST GRANT HIS SOUL SOUL, O LORD. AMEN.
Bye & Goodnight Uncle.
'Leke & Titilayo Adentan

My family and I are still feeling that it was a dream that our amiable family doctor is no more. It was a sad Wednesday when the news was broken to us by the same man who connected us together many years ago, Mr. Wole Oyewo. Dr. Amole had since then become our family doctor.
Niyi Amole belonged to the earlier generation of doctors who put service first before any pecuniary interest. He took special interest in the elderly; no wonder most of his patients were among this group. Many a time when we visited the clinic with what we considered a serious case, the preliminary discussion with him was always reassuring to the extent that you might even forget what took you there in the first place. Many times when my wife and I went to the clinic, he would ask us to pay consultation fee for only one.
Right now, we have no family doctor. The problem is that we have almost become so fanatical of Dr. Amole that it would be difficult for us to adapt.
Niyi Amole, you came to the world for a life of love and service to humanity. Even though your life was short as far as we are concerned, it was full of impact.
May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord whom you served till the very end. May the Lord console your family and give them the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
Wole & Dupe Adetunji

Dr. Amole,

I am still in absolute shock at the news of your demise. Hmm!

Although we met less than a year ago because of my mum's I'll health, it seemed we've known you for years.

All through her stay at The Lister Medical Centre and even beyond you exhibited a huge mix of professionalism and humanity that we felt safe to let our mother go through surgery at your hands. We felt hope, confidence and she felt cared for.

You were everything that has been said by all and more. Such a rare breed that I wish you could live on and on.

"O death where is thy sting"
"O grave where is thy victory?"
You have only succeeded in taking one of God's Generals home.

Baba Amole sun ré o!
When you get there, bid me well to my mother.

I first met Dr. Adeniyi Amole about 15 years ago when he invited me to his hospital at the Adekunle Fajuyi Road , GRA, Ikeja to help review a patient. We remained very close since then up till his death, with my regular visits to his hospital.
He was an exceedingly good man, kind, caring and compassionate to his friends, patients and staff, most of who had remained with him for so long. He was generous, humane and would treat or operate on patients who couldn’t afford to pay, even after extensive surgical procedures.
Dr. Amole loved and cared for his family, including distant relatives. He also found sufficient time, despite his very busy medical practice, to attend church activities and serve God.
His unexpected death is personally painful to me, as it is to the medical profession and all those who ever crossed his path.
May the Good Lord grant his gentle soul peaceful eternal rest.
Professor Kingsley Ketiku

Neggie, my colleague and complete gentleman that lived by the oath of his profession. He practised like a thoroughbred professional with utmost dedication to his patients. Calm and rarely ruffled. We saw on the 2nd of January and our discussion was on this rampaging virus. You said you had decided to step back from practice and just do the essentials because of our ages and health status. Little did I know that when we saw again a few days before you fell sick I was in a hurry and you were trying to pull into the space I was vacating and I just waved. We spoke again when you went for the chest CTscan and you assured me you were mending. What a shock. Two good close colleagues embarking on the journey to the great beyond almost at the same time. Till we meet again to part no more, good night Neggie.

Another of God's General goes home to rest.

Dr Niyi Amole, your life was humility personified. You treated everyone with respect regardless of the age. You handled your medical assignment with utmost care and prayer, you were meticulously thorough and resourceful. You were a compassionate doctor/"brother" and caring. It was always a comfort to visit your hospital with whatever ailment because of your positive attitude, counsel and medical attention which you always personally attended to; yet money was never your incentive. God indeed is your divine reward beyond man's comprehension.
You came, You saw, You conquered, glory be to God.
"Requiescat in pace"

We pay our tribute to the memory of Dr Niyi Amole, an accomplished and renowned surgeon of international repute. As his neighbors for a number of years, we knew Dr Amole as a softspoken, kind-hearted, amiable and gentle personality. His life’s calling as a medical doctor impacted and touched several lives and humanity in general.

We join in celebrating his life, his many achievements and awards and his varied contributions to the medical profession. The memory of his awesome life of sacrifice and integrity will help remind us all of our own mortality and the need to count the number of our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, Psa 90:12.

We pray that God will comfort his family especially the wife, children, grandchildren, his loved ones including our dear egbon, Mrs Justice Aderemi and our friend Mr Folorunso Kolade.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Pst& Mrs Alabi

This is so painful!

You were such a special being.

Lovely inside out.

Words aren't enough to describe what you meant to my family and I,
but i thank God for a life well spent.

Your gentle and sweet nature will forever be remembered.

i know the Heavens gained an ANGEL the day you slept.

Sleep well Baba Amole.....May you find peace with Almighty Allah!

Oh. My daddy am still in shock I can not hold back my tears I met you not quite long, but to me it seems as if we have known for long. Daddy i am going to miss you. Daddy i can not tell mama Vesla you are gone and she keeps asking after you day by day. Daddy you are true a father any one could wish to have . Seeing you along makes a patient to be healthy by your words, compassionate, I don't know what to say any more I love you but God loves you more I pray that you see the face of almighty God. May the good Lord forgive all your short comings in Jesus name Amen.Till we meet to part no more .

Doctor, The news of your sudden exit from this world devastated me. It made me remember the saying that, a good tree does not last in the bush .Your love for humanity was of no equal, unparalleled and devoid of deceit. Your smile radiated love and gave assurance that all would be well! Now that you are no more, who will attend to my medical needs?
You took care of me when I was terribly sick. Your professional competence and care gave me a psychological belief that, once I saw you, i would be well!
No doubt, you lived a good life, worthy of emulation.
Good night, Dr. Amole, my regards to your bosom friend, Mr. Remi Olowude, the late Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) of IGI, who introduced you to me.

bola ashaolu Esq.

Dr Adeniyi Amole was my parents, my siblings, my children and my personal medical doctor from his practice days on Adekunle Fajuyi, GRA, Ikeja in 2007 to, Desaret Hospital, Oduduwa Crescent GRA, Ikeja, to the present Lister Hospital Medical Hospital, Obanta Avenue. Ikeja.
Both my parents and other relations we referred to him, believed so much in him, as a doctor and a counsellor.
My dad died on 19 December 2020, in his hospital and Dr Amole splendidly looked after him, leaving no stone unturned.
My 88 year old Mum is still in shock about his death. I just had to inform her, as he was her personal physician.

He was a knowledgeable, quintessential, soft spoken, kind and kind-hearted gentleman to the core and a true, thorough and solid professional.
He was an easily approachable, pleasant, always smiling and attentive medical doctor.
Personally, I could discuss any medical condition with him.
He had a kind word to say to everyone and will explain every diagnosis and treatment, gently, thoroughly, encouragingly and in the process, putting one at ease.
This was a huge blow to my family. Absolutely still unbelievable.

Nigeria and indeed the whole Medical profession globally, has lost a gem of a doctor.

May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace and may JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY comfort, uphold and strengthen his beautiful, pleasant and absolutely supportive wife, his children who he talked of, so often with fatherly love, his siblings, especially 'Amooo', his youngest brother and our friend from our Unilag days, his aged Mum, who he loved and cared for in his home, with his lovely wife, till his demise and his staff of Lister Medical Hospital, Obanta Avenue. Ikeja.
Still in shock. Sigh...
Rest on dear Dr Adeniyi Amole.

Best regards
Mrs Olufunke Ogeah.
