I have no words to describe you my brother Eniola Adewale.
I miss you forever and would never forget you you. We both started in Glasgow on the 22nd floor of YMCA in Glasgow. We both struggled to adopt to life and challenges in our new country Scotland but at the end you were too kind and caring who always brought smile on everyone’s faces.
You fought for others and you were not selfish. I cannot contemplate that you’re not here anymore.
You were the light for others who like were facing dark future here in Glasgow.
I loved your laughter, jokes and intelligence.
Miss you forever but will remember you till my last breath in this world.
RIP

Dewale Haastrup .... Struppism! ...will be greatly remembered as a warm, friendly, caring, gentle man... till Christ returns in His glory. "But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive."

Dear Wale,
I'm still shocked at your passing. I didn't have a chance to say goodbye - i'm so sorry. I remember Unilag days just like yesterday. You were so warm,loving and popular . You took Gbemisola,my sister and I under your wings . We had so much fun with the Haastrup Clan at Mariere Hall - Deyemi, Dapo and Deniyi. May you find perfect rest in the Lord. We love you but God loves you more.
Adewale omo Oba, Omo Owa Omo Ekun. Omo Ajimoko bii oyibo! Sun ree o !

Brother Wale Haastrup, you always made me smile and laugh with your timely jokes on the LW forum. I am so glad you chose the Lord Jesus and in so doing, you chose Eternal Life with Him. I choose to rejoice in that you did not die, you are only resting in the Lord our Saviour. You were promoted to glory; and now you are having the time of your life with your Lord and Saviour. Your memory is indeed blessed!!

A Poem for my brother Eniola Wale Haastrup.
My dear friend Eniola has gone away
No more will we laugh and play
No more online chats and secrets will we share
No more comfort will there be knowing that he cared.
My dear friend Wale is dead and gone
Never again will he tag along
With me to the Glasgow night bars or shopping malls
Or have a sleepover or anything at all.
I wish i could have said goodbye
Explain how I miss him,somehow I must try
I have so much left to say I know I will write
My goodbyes and send it to him somehow.
In a note written down,then send by fire and flame
In a bottle on the sea or a gift by his grave
Or perhaps I will whisper it and send it on a prayer
And imagine he is reading it and knowing I care.
My dear friend Eniola ,Wale has died nothing that can change
But at least I have said my goodbyes indeed anyway
Farewell my dear friend I will hold your memory in my heart
Such that as long as I live we shall never be truly apart.

Hmmm, what do I say. I am still speechless. I was the quiet one in GCK and cannot say I knew Eniola so well except that we shared a room in his first year and I was his senior. My mind is a blur about GCK days. We reconnected way back in 2009 but only actually met up physically in 2016. It was so good to see Eniola at one of our meetings. He also supported me at one of my premieres, which I am so grateful for. Got his Christmas greeting on Christmas day and replied not knowing that would be the last time we would communicate. God knows best. May his soul rest in peace; may God comfort his family and loved ones. Eniola indeed brought a smile to our face and I am grateful for the time we managed to share together, the witty exchanges on our forum. Goodnight Eniola, God bless you soul.

I can’t believe that you’re gone my friend. I can’t believe that I’ll never be able to visit you or see you anytime soon. I can’t believe that our childhood pastime can never be relieved again.
I’m sorry that I didn’t know about your pain. I’m sorry that I didn’t stay in closer contact with you. I’m sorry that I assumed that everything was okay with you, when inside you were hurting.
I wonder what you were thinking as your life ended. Did you wonder if your life mattered? Then let me tell you that it did. That in those few days together you touched my heart with your kindness, your laughter, your positive energy. And above all else with your beautiful, and courageous attitude to life.
As you were dying, did you wonder if people would remember you? Then let me tell you that I will remember you forever and hold you close in my heart.
Tears are streaming down my face as I write these final words. Goodbye my brave friend. I hope that wherever you are, you finally have peace in your heart and in your soul...Good night Wale

THE WAY WE WERE SINCE INFANCY
January 13, 2017
Two weeks have passed and it seems it has just started to dawn on me that you're not coming back. Dewale, I am still stunned from that phone call I received early in the morning and can't believe I wouldn't see you again. I sat down here and looked back at our growing up together at Wakeman Street in Alagomeji, and memories of the three of us Tumi, you & I runing riots and playing around in the compound, play footie and the atlas games. I remember us walking to school together and attending lessons together at Odetola in Moleye street. Those are lovely times in our growing up.
Dewale, you are more than a cousin and just like a brother to Tumi & I as we were raised under the same roof and shared the same bed. The void you leave between Tumi & I would remain irreplaceable till end time. They say time is a great healer, how time would heal this I don't know. But I pray to God to give Tumi & I the strength to move on.
Adewale Omo baba loju ogunn... SUN RE OOOO.

Wale.....l remember the day l met u at a lesson center at Alagomeji, Yaba in 1981. You always made sure that l got on the bus safely. I still can't believe u r gone. It feels like a nightmare that I hope to never wake up from. We still chatted via text in early December & which makes it so surreal & so much harder to bear. I will always remember you. You were a gentleman to the very core. You are in a better place now. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
