OAK HOSPITALS
Dr. O.A. Kalejaiye disengaged from Oshoffa Memorial Hospital in the year 2000 and proceeded to the land flowing with milk & honey- IKORODU, in order to actualize his dreams of touching lives via quality medical practice.

We never met & I kept saying that we ought to write to thank you for your self-less care of our mum, Mrs. Ogunmodede, but we never got round to it, only to hear this evening, of your demise! We believe that you are in a better place. We would have wished for more time for you but God had a better plan for you. May God grant your family & the Church the fortitude to bear this loss. #restinginpeace.

It's so sad to hear of the demise of Dr. Kalejaiye! He was one of the most compassionate and professional family doctor I've ever seen. Oak hospital was great hospital for my company through HMO. My first two kids were delivered there. I remember when my wife was to be delivered of my second child through CS while I was away in Germany, Dr. Kalejaiye volunteered to sign the consent letter on my behalf. Your staff are so respectful and professional in their dealings. He was a perfect gentle, caring and soft-spoken man.
I will never forget the day I rushed an unknown lady (fellow passenger in public BRT bus) who was at the verge of dying from unknown ailment to your hospital. Oak hospital medical personnel attended to that young lady, struggled with her life for more than 5 hours before and resuscitated her without initially asking for money or other crazy demands common to some Nigerian hospitals. Having such hospital of high caliber of professionals, owned and lead by a world class expert like Dr. Kalejaiye is a blessing to Nigeria.
As others have mentioned, the memories of your good deeds and legacies lives on. Till today, I still keep referring people to OAK hospital, even having left the country for many years. You came, you saw and you made significant and undeniable impact. May God keep your family and loved ones that are left behind.

My dearest and wonderful Family Doctor is gone! Oh Dr, it was so sad hearing about your death some days ago. You were part of my family, my late mom( Rev. MRS Adeyomoye) loved u so much and so do I and all my siblings.
I remember when I first met you at your office on my marketing call( Diamond bank) and we just clicked and chatted as if we knew each other before then. Your care and humility was second to none as you fondly called me “Aunty Jummy” even though I could pass for your daughter.
I had my babies at your hospital and my sister too because u were a family friend we were comfortable with.
I was home in November last year for my mom’s funeral and couldn’t make it down to see you. You were not happy that I did not inform u about her death and the burial too. Thank God for always looking out for us and your love and care was well appreciated.
I pray that the gracious hand of God will continue to rest upon your beautiful wife and sons.
We will surely miss sir and may your soul rest well.

I am grateful to God for your life.
We love you but God loves you most.

Dr Ayodele Kalajaiye!
My Great Uncle!!
Growing up, you were one of the few people I admired so much and looked up too.
I remember the times I, my siblings and cousins would come spend a week with our grandma at your residence during summer.
I remember how you'd always ask if I was enjoying my stay and if I needed anything. Irrespective of the time you got back (busy life of doctor), you tried as much as possible to spend time with everyone!
A great family man indeed!
When I heard of your demise, the name you call me (Debonnaire) rang in my ears. I struggled but I couldn't but shed tears. We have indeed lost a great one.
I am however consoled by the fact that you're resting in the bossom of the almighty. .
While you were here on earth, it was no news that you touched lives. It was in your very nature. So was peace and humility. Now that you're gone! Greater testimonies abound!!
I remember in June 2016 when I started searching for a job; you took it upon yourself to ensure I got a placement. You secured interviews and we constantly communicated till I decided to go study for my masters.
I'm very proud to have met you. Your journey on earth is an inspiration to me.
Rest on Uncle!
By God's grace, we will meet on the resurrection morning!
It is well!

Words won't qualify, time won't quantify all my heart desires to express about you, my Oga. For you have showed us that life in itself should be regarded as a gift, an instrument for 'touching lives. Not ours to squander.
You were selfless. A sacrificial leader per excellence. A man who chooses at all times to expect the best out of all circumstances - an optiimst. A true inspiration. A good model of what a man should be both to God and mankind.
Oh! how grieved I was to hear about your abrupt departure from this earth. It really shook the cradle of my heart when I realized how helpless I was in restoring life for I am just a mortal man.
A great man with heart of gold. You were a man who never hold good from them to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do. (Prov. 3:27-28).
May the good Lord keep your family in perfect peace and fill their hearts with endless stream of divine joy.
You were closer to me than a brother. Helpful than a friend. Adieu. Rest in the bossom of the Lord till we shall meet. GOOD NIGHT.

Dr. Kalejaiye,
I never met you but meeting one of your sons (Dr. Ayoola) was enough to tell me so much about you Sir. I saw how you constantly showed up and out for him. I didn't need to be told of how amazing you were. I pray God comforts all the people you left behind and may you find eternal peace in the bosom of the Lord. Rest in Glory Dr. Kalejaiye.

Daddy I still can’t believe that you are gone , it still feels like a dream.... You were kind, loving, caring, generous and so much more.. I remember each time I came visiting while I was dating my husband and I was about to take my leave you would always say “make sure you call when you get home”, oh how caring you were daddy!!!. The first time I met you I was really nervous and anxious but you received me warmly and was so jovial.
You were always there to talk to daddy, all through my pregnancy journey , you were always there, always telling me what to do , always providing medications if needed , you always would ask about every scan result and you kept asking for feedback from the Doctors, you were so involved Daddy!!!
You were such a loving grandfather!!! You play with your grandchildren and loved them so much... I remember Anjola always wanting to sit on that particular chair you sit on and you would sit next to her and just laugh about it.
The few years I knew you for will forever be cherished. It’s sad that we didn’t have the opportunity to spend more years with you , we love you but God loves you more.
Your memories will forever linger in our heart. Rest In Peace Daddy.

"Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." ~ Psalm 90:12. This pasaage is quite applicable to the memorable life lived by Dr. OAK. He fulfilled his purpose in life in all ramifications. His love for humanity was signified by his chosen profession. He served humanity to the end by saving many from deadly ailments as a medical practitioner. His love for his family and everyone around him is admirable, enviable and worthy of emulation. He will forever be missed!!. However, our grief is short lived because of our convinction that he knew Jesus and that he his on the right hand of Jesus Christ enjoying the glory of God. Sleep on darling Brother!!

My dear Uncle,
If I do not write you a tribute, I would be indebted!
You lived a potent life. You were kind and generous, friendly and jovial, accommodating and fatherly.
You extended your love to a lot of people in different ways that meant a lot, yo u were undoubtedly loving and compassionate.
I have memories of you that I cannot erase because of how deeply your actions touched me... You bought me my very first designer suit, a black pierre-Cardin, I cannot forget. You showed interest in me as you did in my younger sister.
You always said I didn't keep in touch often and this was my greatest regret. If only I knew how short time was, I wouldn't have been distant in the periods that I was.
Your hardwork and success story inspires me. You modelled ambition, excellence, discipline, generosity, humility and attainment.
You will remain endeared to me and though your demise literally hurts, I am really so glad to know that we will meet at the feet of Jesus.
You were indeed a great man!
Rest in your Saviour's embrace.
We love you but God loves you more.

It is very heartbreaking that our dear Dr. Ayo has gone to be with the Lord sooner than anybody would have liked. His passing has definitely left a huge void in his family, nuclear and extended.
I was a frequent visitor to his Ibadan childhood home in Ososami, during my high school days, to hang out with his younger siblings, Kunle, Nike, and co., and to deliver messages from my mom to her big sister, his mom, the beautiful aunty Elewa. It was that long ago, I was the message delivery pigeon.
We were cousins. While I’ve looked up to Engr Sunday as the big cousin and cool university student doing all the right things for a “guy”, I was star-struck when his older brother, Dr Ayo, landed in my parents’ living room aboard a space shuttle from Russia; that was what it felt like when he returned home to Nigeria and came to say hello to my parents. Dr Ayo was cool, smooth, and suave. It was obvious he was going to be a star. A shining, super star.
I had the pleasure of seeing him a few times and interacting with him over the years, but always heard of the amazing things he was doing as a son, husband, father, brother, standup family man, and businessman. We were proud of him and I remain inspired by him. What a loss we have suffered!
May God comfort and strengthen his wife, sons and grandchildren. May He give us all, the fortitude to bear this huge loss. Rest In Peace, big bro. We love you.

A TRIBUTE TO DR. SEGUN KALEJAIYE BY WASIU AKINPELU
I never imagined I would ever be in a position of writing this for a dear friend, atleast not on this type of occasion.
I and Dr. Segun Ayodele Kalejaiye, known generally as Dr. Sege among friends, knew each other way back in Russia about 40yrs ago, during our university years. He was known to be a compassionate, excellent, generous and successful medical student. He was well liked and respected among Nigerian students in Donetsk. He exemplified the “Noble Profession” as he used to call it, he was a mentor to many in the field and line of duty, he encouraged them to always uphold dignity, honor and integrity which was the basis and foundation on which Oak Hospital, which he later founded, was built.
We lived our youthful lives on love and mutual respect. On returning back to Nigeria from Russia, he successfully combined his career and building of a family structure which was the envy of many friends and classmates. Dr. Sege was a devoted family man to the core, he would go any length for his wife and kids. A shining star and pillar worth of emulation within the kalejaiye family. He was constantly thinking on how to improve the welfare and comfort of his friends and family right until he was called away. Sege never planned on leaving his family and friends in the foreseeable future, but the call of the Almighty is sacrosanct.
During our college days in Russia, Sege was a rallying point for Nigerian students in Donetsk, now in Ukraine. He was the gregarious football team manager loved by everybody. Since his demise over 100 old students have been rallying and coming together because of the beloved Sege. What he did in 1980 by rallying everybody is what he is doing again in 2020 with his demise. Human souls like this are rare, we thank the Almighty that our very own was among the choosen ones.
Dr. Sege merely discarded his physical body, but his spirit, thoughts and memories will forever be with us as he was able to pack so many good deeds into his time on earth. He touched and impacted many lives’ positively.
Adieu my friend, Segun Segunovich Colombo, you will always be with us all the way. May your gentle soul find grace, help and mercy of the Almighty Father. Amen
I never imagined I would ever be in a position of writing this for a dear friend, atleast not on this type of occasion.

My heart is very heavy and the reflection of trauma of your death continue to reverberate in me at every secs ,Being a very good boss, whom you are always there for us at every challenging moment at OAK HOSPITAL.

The little joy of his death is that he lived he come ,lived and fulfilled he had impact on several others, hmmmmmn! Dr OAK continue to rest in the bossom of your lord ,ADIEU MY BOSS ,from joke oak lab

Without knowing this man as well as his peers do, I knew that calling him a kind-hearted, joyful, focused, determined and strategic man of character would just be scratching the surface of who he is. My uncle was more than words can describe and was always fun and a pleasure to be around. I will forever miss the times I got to be around him and talk to him about his past, and his relationship with my dad, and I am grateful for having the ability to have known a man so uplifting. I will love and miss you uncle, forever.

Words to console are hard to find at a time like this. But amidst the turbulence and heartbreak, we must always bear God’s Plan in mind; only He can understand why He does what He may.
The soul, spirit, and memory of my uncle will live on forever in the hearts and minds of all those that he loved. I’m thankful to have been touched by such a gentle and reverent being.
May you rest in paradise and peace Uncle, forever❤️

Tribute to a dear Friend ……
Saturday June 6th 2020 was a really sad day in our home, in New Jersey!
This was the day we lost my husband’s best friend from Medical School and a dear friend to our family. The mood was that of significant heartbreak and confusion. With teary eyes and heavy hearts, we all hugged each other, especially hugged his third son, “Dr. Ayoola”, here with us in NJ.
My friend “Sege” was one of a kind…. I still hear his voice in the distance, calling me now and then …… “lady Chinwe”! Oh, how I miss him !
Dear Sege, Gbenga and I have decided that though we are still mourning you, we realize we must celebrate your life, from here on. Celebrate the wonderful stories, the laughs, the good times we shared together. I am so glad we had such a wonderful time with you and Funmi at the Broadway play (the Temptations), NY last summer. Your wonderful spirit is reflected in your 3 handsome sons. Your awesome legacy of hard work, integrity, and true friendship shall live on into the ages. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Lots of Love and Respect!
Adieu!!

I got to meet you in the year 2012 while I came for my antenatal. May 12 2014 my mum said you were really concerned for me while I was in the theatre for my second child. The little I know about you was that you touched lives the little way you can. Continue to rest in bosom of our Lord. RIP DR KALEJAIYE.

My mentor is no more.... It is a terrible loss to the healthcare industry. You shared your knowledge with all. I have worked under your tutelage. I have grown to be a better person. God who sees and knows all understands the reasons for this quick exit. Good night
