This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Emily Olatokunbo Folayan Ojo, 47 years old, born on January 29, 1974, and passed away on June 1, 2021. We will remember her forever.
Tokunbo, Happy posthumous birthday. I miss you so much. I decided to remember you in a nice way today. I played all those oldies we used to listen to and they brought back so many memories of staff school, quarters, etc. Continue to rest in peace darling beloved.
Tokumbo..... The last time we spoke was in 2013. I can remember you were pregnant with you third daughter when I last saw you. You were so good at business with great entrepreneurial spirit even when most of us were searching for white collar job after our service year. Never knew you were sick until I heard about your demise. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord until the resurrection morning. Adieu dear friend.
Sis, I am so sad to hear of your passing. I have nothing but fond memories of you. Praying for everyone you left behind - BOUQUI, your sweet mom, and your entire family. I am so sorry. Rest in Peace, Till we meet again. Much love.
Toks, your passing on came as a rude shock to me because we were assured that you were getting better. You were such a calm and lovely person. May God grant your soul eternal rest and comfort your family. Amen. Adieu!
I'd known you throughout primary and secondary school, outside school we also had common interests. You were a true childhood friend. Adulthood took us in different directions for a while, by the time we reconnected we could flow like we had never been apart. You were a dear friend and sister. I am sorry this had to happen. Rest in Peace with the Lord Tokunbo.
Tokunbo Folayan, it's difficult for me to belief that you have gone. Yes! A star has gone. A promising, focus and forward looking enterpreneurer has gone. Omo girl, u will be greatly missed. Suu re o..ebony lomo, Omo Oba binrin, u are too jovial to be missed. OlaTokunbo Emily oni kaba, Omo Oba birin, aya Ojo...Your memory lingers on...Adieu..
Princess Tokunbo, our one and only Emily oni kaba. May your beautiful and gentle soul rest in peace. We love you but Jesus loves you more. May the Holy Spirit comfort all you left behind. Rest in the bosom of the Lord.
Tokunbo thoughts of Staff School and Moremi days very vivid in my memory. I pray your soul rests perfectly at peace in the Lord. Also, that God grants your entire family the grace to get through this.
Tokunbo, I could remember you as a friendly and easygoing person during the Staff School (SS)/Moremi days. Your demise was a shock but God knows best. My prayer is that God comforts your dear mum and the family you have left behind. Adieu Tokunbo!
Dear Tokunbo, It’s sad to hear that your race has ended. It’s been about 17 years since I saw you when you and your wonderful family graced my wedding; mummy Olori Folayan made the cakes for the engagement and wedding.
Over the years I have heard great things about you and your accomplishment; becoming a young businesswoman after completing your youth service. I was sad when I heard about your struggle and I was praying for a different outcome, but God knows best and chose to call you home at this time.
May the Lord be with all your loved ones, especially your children, mummy, siblings, family, and friends. May all that love you find solace that "this God is our God forever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death."(Psalm 48:14),

Gentle, soft spoken, kind hearted princess Tokunbo. Your kind heart and calm presence will be missed. Rest on with our Lord Jesus until resurrection day. May God uphold and comfort the entire family. Olorun a tu gbogbo idile ninu. Foluke Oyedeji Laosebikan for the Oyedejis- Road 20D
Met you briefly and you stuck in my memory. You are a kind hearted angel and you are warrior. Many words can't qualify your qualities and many words can't quantify your good works. Till we meet at the other side sleep on Toks the angel.
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. May the Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. RIP Tokunbo.
Tokunbo black ebony, although the last time I saw you was in 1992 but your demise took me back to when we were all growing up on Road 20d. I remembered that you like eating amala and ewedu a lot then. You like doing your own thing, very funny and friendly. Tokunbo, God knows best and may the Lord comfort the family and loved ones you left behind. May your beautiful soul rest in peace.
Princess, you came, you saw and conquered. So sad to hear about your demise. The Savior understand. I could remember your gentle and beautiful look at Victory Chapel, Ife , Olanrewaju junction and OAU,Ife. You were easy going , lover of God and peace. A true child of God you were. Not how long but how well. Sleep till resurrection day. Adiue Princess
Toks, you live on... Yes, I know we all owe it to death someday but at some instances, I feel we could have done things differently to defer it till some other time... . May God grant you the perfect peace that you deserve because you really struggled hard, you were totally committed to your family, you lived a very resilient and compassionate life which is what endears a lot of us to you. Even at your lowest ebb; against all the odds, you still made everyone believe that you could pull through successfully! You will always be fondly remembered in your unique ways. It is indeed your time to rest on sis.
Egbon.... We all know that you are in a better place now resting. You fought a good fight. You will be greatly missed by all. You are indeed "Egbon" to all of us. So jovial and full of life. The little time I spent with you recently was a blessing and your death was so shocking because we all believed on what God can do.
Beautiful princess, ever smiling Tokunbo! Forever in our hearts. Your demise came as a rude shocking news to us all! We will forever cherish the memories of growing up together on OAU Quarters. Rest well beautiful angel.
Hummmm. Still in shock of the news of your demise... Olatokunbo, my beautiful sis. Your family home on OAU campus was my second home when i was in Ilesha. After school we lost contact and reunited few years ago through social media. I remember the day you called me and screamed aunty Dotun!!!. Family is everything to you. You looked out for my daughter in Abuja and bonded with her as if you have known her for years!!! Tokunbo, may you find complete rest at the bossom of your maker. The Lord comforts us all, especially my aunty, your mum, your siblings and immediate family in Jesus name.
You fought and fought, optimistic till the end..but guess what? You won.. not only did you win..Heaven also won a soul. You will forever be missed. You have finished your race, handed us the baton and now it's left for us to carry on. Armed with the beautiful and unforgettable memories of your laughter, corny jokes and charming personality... We press on.
Still very unbelievable, everytime I pray I mention all our names..very fast... I've done it for years.. it's so automatic now.. I still did it this morning and paused...I can't believe you're gone. So surreal. Like a dream.
Love you Tokunbo.. Your Legacy will NEVER DIE. I PROMISE YOU THAT.
FLY. SOAR.. or whatever angels do. Love you forever.
Rest in peace aunty. I will forever hold onto the memories and stories of you taking care of me as a child. I love and miss you so much but I am certain that heaven is so much better. May we meet again.
So so terribly sad; so intensely painful: the more so as we may no longer be blessed by her in life again.Soul crushing and humbling in the blunt truth of our mortality.I confess to loving Tokunbo like a baby sister and friend. May her gentle Christloving soul rest in perfect peace IJPN. Blessed assurance: wether we live or die,we are His(Rom.14:8).Adieu our gentle kindhearted princess .May you repose eternally in the bosom of our Lord Jesus.AMEN️
I am short of words..toks ore mi. I reached out to you few weeks ago and you said you were fine only to hear of your passing last week. Hmmmmm..God knows best.. Rest in peace. May the good lord comfort the entire family.. Amen .
Dear Tokunbo, my friend's sister and my sis, you always had a smile...very pleasant just like every member of your family. Your passing is a big loss for your loved ones but heaven's gain. Rest in peace and in the bossom of the Lord where there is no pain or sickness. The Lord will be with your children and loved ones that you left behind, Amen. I remember your sweet mum in particular at this time. May the Lord grant her strength, peace and comfort, Amen. Love from mee... Modupe Bamkole (Obaf)
Aunty Tokunbo, If we could sit the ripper down and ask "why"?, we would only be stuck in a long of long line of people with the same question "WHY". As much as this is painful to accept, we are left with the memories we shared, might I add, delightful memories at that. I remembered back then at modakeke, the folayans were the extended nuclear family I miss so much. Can't forget the choir sessions n all the pranks n joke about the voices even with aunt bisola, who would have thought aunty bukky would take that up(singing). Most of all I can't forget ur bobbling elegance of joy n happiness atleast that's how I pictured it. Sleep on Princess n let us be comforted with the fact that though past memories may linger on with it's abundance of joy, love and happiness, the future, when we meet, will be nothing short of glorious reunion in Christ's loving Grace and may the good Lord continue to comfort the family. Rip aunty toks
Your passing came as a rude shock. You were always so supportive on FB and IG, and you’ve always been a sweet person. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord, and may the Lord give your family the fortitude to bear your heavy loss. Sun re o!!!
Darling sis, It was so much joy and fun growing up with you. We spent the first 23 years of our lives together before I came over here. You were such a hardworking woman who like the virtuous woman in Proverbs just wanted to be happy and provide for her family. Though it hurts so bad thinking of this whole ordeal, I know you are in heaven because the Lord showed me this revelation the day before you died. I will miss you so much. All you left behind are in good hands, God’s hands, May the Lord be with you till we meet again. Rest In Peace my darling aburo Emily. It’s me your “big sis” like you used to call me.
