You were a rare gem, a very supportive Patron and a lover of children. You were a man of excellence with mature disposition to issues of life.
You had the ability to relate with both young and old lovingly and we are happy you spent all your life serving God and humanity, most especially as a Patron of BAHM Church Brigades. We will always cherish our memories with you.
You made others realise that they have more ability than they think they have so that they can consistently be better at what they do.
Pa Duro Oyinlola, a true mentor, an erudite, and indeed a man of most positive influence. His life showed selflessness clearly and he was generous and unreserved in giving.
Your good works will fondly be remembered and we pray that they live after you. May the good Lord uphold your family and grant them solace.
Adieu our beloved Patron,
Adieu Prince Duro Oyinlola.

After praying or reading a scripture, Daddy would often say "beautiful" and this same word sums up how we now look back and view his life.

Prince Ebenezer Duro Oyinlola was an honourable gentleman to the core. I first took notice of him in the church several years ago through my late husband, Ebenezer Kashimawo Dawodu. Every Sunday on our way back home from church service, he would talk about his admiration for his gentleness and the way his contributions in any discussion would lay to rest every arguments and disagreements. I thought his fondness for him may have been because they shared the same first name!
Prince Oyinlola's smile, gentleness, respect for everyone irrespective of their social status and his generous nature and spirit endeared him to me and many other people. His desire to make life worth living for others struck me during my tenure as Principal of Canon James Pearse Anglican College, when he and his family single handedly refurbished the Boys’ Hostel of the College. One can attest to the Oneness of the Family as his daughters supervised the project to a beautiful end.
I pray that the joy he spread around will flow into the lives of his family through Generations in Jesus name, Amen

My dearest Uncle, you’ll be sorely missed. Your devotion to GOD and care for humanity were exemplary.
I recall your efforts towards securing industrial attachment placement for me in Lagos; you warmly received me into your home at Akowonjo; Learnt a lot from the early morning family devotions and the evening Bible Studies @ Archbishop Vining Memorial Church...
My late father Prince Olapade Alexander Oyinlola spoke glowingly of your contributions to the family.
Rest On, Uncle and the good LORD preserve your family and worthy legacies you left behind.

Daddy Akowonjo, you stood out of the crowd, an icon in every right, a gentleman to the core, soft-spoken, a rare leader.
Your home and immediate family remains a model to pray for and work towards.
I will always remember how I found such peace and solace @ your home and with every single member of your family as a young Oyinlola wife especially when 'Yinka  went to be with the Lord. It hurts that you are no longer in this realm with us, but there is unspeakable joy in knowing that you are @ the bosom of Jesus. Rest on Daddy and good night.

Daddy Akowinjo the first uncle I met. A great family man. He loved and cared for all his extended family with such grace. When I was born in The Netherlands, he came all the way to perform the naming ceremony. Everyone in the community noticed his generosity, kindness, warmness and dedication. Throughout my life he continued to show this love, I will remember the many occasions he attended, travelling great distances and bearing gifts for us. He taught us Bible verses in Yoruba and lead worship like an angel. We will remember the loving uncle who supported everyone and always left an idelimnable Christ centred impression.

It came to me as a rude shock to read this morning from the platform of the BAHM Church Choir on WhatssAp about your passage. You were one of the few, the real breed, a father, a mentor to me during and after you retired from UAC of Nigeria Plc. You were kind, generous, accommodating and a lover of the young ones in the group then. You molded so many people who became big and prominent in their own rights. You were just not a Christian by mouth, your faith was fully demonstrated through your actions in your life time. My Chairman at the reception of the wedding of my only daughter, I love you very much because of your character and will miss you. I will not be around during your final rights in Nigeria, may your gentle and kind soul rest in perfect peace. My sincere condolence goes to your inseparable wife, who behaves exactly like you, your children and the family. Adiu till we meet to part no more Sir.

Brother mi Durojaiye, your death has given me shock and pain that is too hard to bear. God gave you to me and has taken you back. You will always be remembered for the rest of my days on earth. You were a brother that I confided in, for expected unbiased, genuine and positive advice. You meant the world to me, with your big and caring heart. No one will ever compare to you. You excelled as a brother, father, grandfather and follower of Jesus. You lived a devoted life, full of love, and you have selflessly served all. Your mouth was constantly full of praise and encouragement. You will be sorely missed. Durojaiye, Ayinde Okin, you have fought a good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith. Though the time as come that I must bid you farewell, I will always cherish the memories. Sleep on in the Lord until the resurrection morning, when we shall meet to part no more. Sun re o.

Daddy, you were a brilliant star that has slipped from our hands, and a vibrant jewel that has returned to its source. It is hard to believe that a light so bright and clear has flickered away, a beacon so bold and empowering has lied so quiet and still. We will not grieve like those who do not have hope in Jesus Christ. Our loss is a gain in heaven. I thank God for allowing us to have you, and I appreciated the fatherly role you played in my life. I can't help to bid you a farewell, though with heavy heart. Go forth upon your journey from this world in the name of God who created you, and Jesus Christ who died for you. May the Lord you served grant you eternal rest.
