Tributes
Leave a tributeI hardly know you but u lived a peaceful and selfless life,RIP
I heard the sad sad news on Sunday 14 April 2019, same day she passed unto glory. I immediately went to her WhatsApp page, only to see that on 16th March, she had left me a congratulatory message I never saw. I was gutted! I regret not getting to know her deeper. I have listened to her family, friends and neighbors speak glowingly of her essence. I took notes. I pledge to be a more caring neighbor because of Efy B’s legacy. To make more time to connect on a deeper level with people I encounter. Going by the number of guests at the wake keeping, it was crystal clear that a VVVIP went to be with the Lord.
Good night Sis, till we meet at Jesus’ feet ❤️
Thank you for your kind care of our Mum....she remembers fondly your last visit to her in Surulere.
You were a very caring person, and I know that God will take care of your own.
May your gentle soul rest in peace, Amen.
Without a doubt, you would be missed by all who knew and loved you...
I have known you and your family, almost all my life, and even though we have missed a lot in each other's lives, I know we always have love (for one another), and all the wonderful memories of us growing and evolving together...
I am heartbroken to be writing this right now...
Life is strange and sometimes cruel... As most of us, if not all of us, are all too aware.
You should still be here with us. But I take comfort in the fact that one's soul is more than their physical body.
Rest in peace, power and grace.
This very very difficult, I can't believe that you are gone. You were such a friendly open Lady. Will miss you sorely. God please grant Femi, Dami, Demi and Sunmi the Fortitude to bear this great great loss. Rest in perfect peace Efunmi beautiful Lady.
My past work colleagues will agree with me that she was full of life, energetic, always willing to work, compassionate about work, kind. I felt comfortable, equal, and had a very good relationship with her. We were always at each others tails like Cat and Mouse, we fought, argued and always come back to reason together. She was ready to go the extra mile when called, especially in times of emergency in our workplace. She was a mobile person and loved to get things done, even if it took her hours to do it.
Efunmi would go the extra mile to assist you, or call one of her many friends or siblings to do the same if she can’t, just to make sure that you are satisfied. She believed in fairness. Strife was not part of her life.
After her retirement from the SLP years ago, it was difficult letting her go so she stuck around with us in the system. I always called her when I'm stuck and she would help. She continued to remain active and willing to help out as usual. But those days are gone, gone but not forgotten. It’s really hard to accept sudden death like hers, and we will never get accustomed to it.
Gone before us too soon, Efunmi (EfyB), aunty mi. Certainly, the precious memories of you will remain in my heart. This is your time, EfyB to finally rest on; In everything, we all can say, Jesus gives and takes, blessed be his holy name.
So many things around my circle will forever remind me of you.
THE OTTUN FAMILY extends condolences to the OLUBANWO Family.
We are deeply disheartened by the news of your unexpected passing. You were a rare human that was filled with Love,Kindness and Happiness..You were always there for our company every time we needed help. You referred customers to us without our asking. This is all so very hard to accept. It's a day of mourning in our office. Being terribly devastated doesn't even begin to describe how we feel. We extend our deepest sympathies to the wonderful family you have left behind. May your soul be at peace with our heavenly Father. You were a great human and you will be truly missed. We pray that your fond memories bring comfort to your Family during this hard time. We Love YOU and we will never forget you....From all of us at MADAM SABI MARKET SERVICES....Sail on Dear Mrs Efunmi.
Efunmi was many things to many people; we connected on many fronts. Having worked closely with Femi, Asue and their team at Banwo & Ighodalo, I came to know and appreciate Efunmi as a patient listener and warm hostess. Additionally, my sons were students along with Sunmimade at Atlantic Hall, Epe, so we met often on visiting, sports and prize giving days, also at the beginning and the end of terms. Being resident in Abuja, my sons, Adam and Alamin, fast became their regular houseguests in Lagos, since they are both nearer to Sunmimade's age. Indeed, I also had the privilege of staying over at Efunmi and Femi's place and Efunmi just could not do enough to make me feel at home.
One thing I would always attest to; Efunmi always had your back, irrespective of the circumstances. And she would reach out to you, if she had not heard from you for a while. She demonstrated that she cared and was so organised, she would organise your affairs if you let her!
Efunmi, you shall never be forgotten; as surely as you were an intricate part of all of us. Sleep well, as we pray for favour from the Almighty. Eternal rest, dear friend and sister. You have lived well, impacted positively and permanently on all of our lives, done your bit. Your time is nigh, even as ours is sure to come, one day. Peace.
Femi, Dami, Demi and dear, dear Sunmimade...be assured that you are not alone in your grief. We share in your pain, even as we know our pain cannot be as deep. Only God can hold you up in the trying times; and I trust He will enable and strengthen you, amen.
I am deeply saddened by your most unexpected passing. You were just commiserating with me over the death of my dad and promised you would attend his funeral. I never in my wildest dreams imagined you would even be buried before him. life can play such cruel jokes. I am so so sad to even be leaving this tribute. You were an amazing woman and I will miss you greatly. Thank you for all the support and love you showed me. It was an honour to work for you.
I pray that God grants you eternal rest and gives your family the fortitude to bear this great loss.
Rest well Ma. God bless your soul.

May your soul Rest In Peace.
I pray our good Lord gives your loved ones the fortitude to bear such a painful loss.
Dear Efunmi! Sleep well
Dear Efunmi, So sorry to hear this sad news. May your soul rest in peace. Sade Adelaja ( SENBANJO)
Forever in our hearts
Dearest Sis,You were wonderful from the very first time you met us individually, and with the realization that you already knew everyone in our families except us, made your role as “Sis” a natural and ordained fit. You had good stories to tell, words of praises and encouragement in the right quantity when required, you offered kindness doing everything freely out of love. Your joke about the “Winconies” is forever going to gladden our hearts when we remember you. We really hope you knew how much your relationship meant to us as a family and that you know how much we miss you now. You came into our lives though for a short season but left big footprints in our hearts, the pain of your death will pass but the memory of your love will remain with us forever.
Deji and Damola Abudu
