My dear dear friend Gboyega. I can’t still come to terms with the fact that you are gone.
.
Met you in year 1 Unilag Accounting 1988. We just hit it off almost immediately. You were a constant and consistent friend. You me Gina Michael Taiwo Lolade got up to so much! I look back and I can only smile. We lost touch only to bump into you at our local supermarket how many years later and we had been in touch since.

We chatted just before the pandemic. I should have called you !

May God comfort Eno whom I met before you two got married. May God comfort the Atoyebi family and all of us your friends. We don’t understand but God does.

Rest well my friend in the blossom of your Lord and savior Jesus . Amen

You were such a beautiful and calm soul my great brother. You were a great great man!
I still stand consumed with so much grief at the reality of your departure,but what can anyone do?

Sleep on my brother, because I know you are only asleep and I know you will rise when those who are asleep would rise.

Then there would be no suffering, no sickness not even pain but eternal life.

You will be sorely missed sir, but I know someday, we will meet again to part no more.

Segun and Tolulope Atoyebi.

Uncle Gboyega, words cannot express the gap that has been left now that you are gone. I am happy you're at rest now, but at the same time I'm so sad that we don't get to experience you anymore. Your love of life was infectious. Your love for people was evident and your generosity was boundless. While we are sad, we thank God because you lived a truly full life, and we, your family and your friends are the evidence of the life you lived.

Thank you for leading an exemplary life. You were a blessing to us all, and a gift from God.

Till we meet again Uncle Gboyega.

We will miss you dearly

Mr G.

I thank God for the gift of your life as you were a blessing to all who you interacted with - a gentle man with a good heart. Thank you for the true expression of love that was clearly exhibited between your good-self and Eno. The unity you always showcased as a couple which was based on sincerely reaching out to people in their sunny and not too sunny moments is noteworthy.

I salute you for the leadership role you took with all responsibility and intent within your immediate family. I must also mention that you engaged life to the fullest and in the moment with dignity, presence and restraint.

Your transition is very very very painful. May the God of all comforts comfort us all and may we not fear death but fear God the owner of the body and the soul. I am consoled by the fact that your life was and is worthy of emulation and celebration - it has left an indelible impact on and in hearts of so many people - judging by their response to the shock of your passing. 

My prayer is that we all strive to carry on your legacy of being a decent person whereby we do not break the chain of friendship and fellowship - after all I became your friend by virtue of being a friend of your dear dear wife Eno. Every one who you met as a friend became family. Au Revoir Aburo Pataki - Sun re o.

It was indeed a pleasure and a privilege knowing you - Rest in peace, Gboyega.

TRIBUTE TO MY BROTHER ADEGBOYEGA ABAYOMI ATOYEBI

It was in early April 2001 when I joined then Oceanic Bank. HR preliminaries over, and soon as I walked into the open-plan first floor office of the Corporate Banking Group to resume work, our eyes met, held, kindred spirit, unspoken conversation….. And thus began an exciting journey of friendship, brotherhood and confidante that lasted till you breathed your last.
In all of these years, I have never had to look over my shoulder with you. No second-guessing … for in you there was no guile. We confided in each other, took risks together, did businesses together, lost money together, travelled together, made plans together and had dreams together. You stood by me through thick and thin. I am yet to see a most committed ally. No height was to high, no depth too low for you to go for our friendship. This you transmitted to my family. You will call Udo, you will check on the children, remember their birthdays. You are truly a man to have on one’s side. Dependable, cerebral, detailed, selfless, empathetic, urbane, spiritual, principled, optimistic and much much more. If there was ever a complete gentleman, you personify it. I recall your call to me that early morning in 2019 as you began your battle against the scourge, and you indeed fought valiantly. I drove to your house, and you gave me snippet of the health prognosis. You were unsurprisingly careful to downplay it. You assured me you had conviction that it was not unto death, we held hands, prayed and you left for Singapore same day for treatment. You remained upbeat all through pain, keeping me updated of progress, calling those few times that your strength permitted. Through it all, you were resolved that there shall be thanksgiving, there shall be trips starting with Enugu once you are up on your feet. Gboyega you love people wholeheartedly. Giving of yourself, time, and substance comes naturally to you. Even with your generosity of spirit, you still never wanted to exact on anybody which explains why a lot of people were in the dark about your condition. You envisioned a big thanksgiving, and it would have been really BIG knowing your predilection for excellence.
Your immortal message to me on January 6, 2021 after one of those procedures was most soul-lifting and a beacon of hope that the bend has been turned after all, but God knows…….
“Just to let you know…… we ‘ve seen the fist in the cloud today; we hear the sound of the abundance of miracles! There’s still road to cover but destination assured. All praise to God”
Gboyega, a lifetime will not be enough to recount who you are to me. So now, who will be my friend, my brother, my go-to guy on issues of Naija. You approximate a friend that sticks closer than a brother to me and I want to close by returning to you your message to me at the turn of the year: “thank you for your gift of friendship and support”. And I add; thank you for the memories. My consolation is that I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Goodnight bro! Robinson Ofomata

This still feels like a dream I want to wake up from so bad. You were so full of life, cool, calm and exciting to talk to. Your dance moves were always out of this world and you never made anyone feel little. I pray your legacy lives on. May the good Lord send comfort to your wife and the entire family. I'll forever miss you.

Gboyéga (accents all wrong - but that's how I hailed you!)

"How nau? How madam?".
"Enoh dey...".
"How Lawunmi, and the young men?"
"We thank God"

I have had this same intro convo with you for the last 25yrs. The same convo, several times a year. When I am in town, like clockwork - you would visit, just to check up on an old friend.

Remember the plan to setup a trust to fund women (living below the bread line) interest free loans? You were so keen about the idea. I made fun of you. Who ever heard of a banker who was willing to forgo interest? Clearly, you were a special one.

I keep glancing at my phone and the convo thread we had when you were in Singapore. You assured me that "It was settled". The chat morphed into a brief "Thank you" from you, and now? Complete silence....

Lawunmi and I are comforted with the fact that you will feel no more pain. I congratulate you for running a brilliant race, and finishing very well! It's difficult to accept, but God calls His best ones home early. May your gentle, caring soul remain in perfect repose.
Amen.

Lawunmi and Koyejo Odunaiya

My Dear Brother, Gboyega Atoyebi, It was just about a week ago that I got the news of your demise. Still trying to come to terms with the reality of this wondering and wishing that the situation could be reversed. Memories of the past times I saw you and interacted with you filled my mind. Some memories of childhood and growing up in Ilorin flashed through my mind. Although we didn’t spend much time together, but I admired your faith in God, your desire to be the best you can in your field, your courage to take on challenges. You were a man of very few words, ever smiling even when no one knows what you are dealing with internally. You were a humble soul, approachable, and easy to talk to. We will surely miss you but we do not sorrow like the world does. We are confident that you are resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus having being assured in the gift of Eternal Salvation and our right standing with God through Christ. We commit the family that you left behind to God to the word of His grace that is able to build them up and strengthen them as we all deal with the aftermath of your departure. May your Soul Rest In Peace. Lots of Love from - Femi Banigbe and Family.

Ade was a Leader
He was very good at his job, he trained all his reports without bias. Best believe he will call you to order in one moment and "gist" about all other things later with you as if nothing happened earlier. Some leaders have open doors, he had no door. He comes to you, works with you and sometimes takes over your PC and work on it - that was his style.

Ade was a disciple
His love for our GOD was unquestionable. He lived GOD.

Ade was very good at his work
I visited a customer as a follow up to an earlier meeting we had. The first thing the customer said was, how is your boss. I said he was doing well. The customer then said your boss is very good, he is a "Banking Maradona"
And his Maradona skills he wasn't selfish with. He freely taught to all his team.

Ade was a good Friend.
A good friend supports with his presence and time. And he did that a lot. His advice was golden and an excited Ade will always click his shoe heels together - his signature move!

Ade gave freely, his advice, his knowledge, his money and his time!
And now it's time for your to rest, rest well, dear friend, rest well.

Ekow A

I had just left the store when I heard someone call my name and there he was. I hadn't seen him in over 5 years and even then we had probably met maybe 3 or 4 times before. Yet there he was greating me like a long lost friend. Gboyega left a huge impression on me that day... I always knew him to be friendly, calm and easygoing but that day I thought "what a great guy".

Sadly that was also the last time I saw him. We really have lost a great guy. Good night Gboyega, until the Lord calls

Death,they say is inevitable whether young,old,man or woman.we will meet our maker someday.
GB!!!as you are fondly called by the PMFB staffs,you are not just a boss but a wonderful adviser and teacher.A selfless human very gentle and intelligent man to the core.
I sincerely pray that your soul rest in perfect peace in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We shall meet again to part no more on the last day.

Rest in peace boss,you wanted me to be great:I won't let you down.I heard you when you where advising me,even though my face was in a frown,I heard.Though I thought,not another scolding but alas I wish I would hear your words and your direction to greatness.Rest in peace boss,I love you and will miss you.You where a great mentor

I still can't believe you are gone my great boss and mentor who would always counsel,motivate and inspire me to be better.I'm grateful I got a chance to let you know that you were amazing and I appreciated you very much. I miss you.keep resting with the lord.

A Tribute to Gboyega Atoyebi

Dear ‘Uncle Boyega,’ as our children would often called you.

People like you only come once in a blue moon. I say that because you were a mysterious mix of seriousness and fun, a blend of simplicity and profundity and a fine weave of nobility and humility.

I met you in 2001 as the sharp-looking ‘guy’ planning to marry my soon-to-be wife's sister. Little did I know that it would be a relationship that would last for many years. You were not just a distant brother-in-law, as is often the case, you became a brother and a friend. You opened up to me and my family with your life. You never missed a chance to give, to teach, to love, to care and to help. There was always something to learn from you in all our discussions. You stimulated my brain; you took me on mental and intellectual journeys, you discussed books you read and talked me into reading them.

You would not let my family come to Lagos and stay elsewhere, but in your house... Your house was eventually monikered, "Hôtel de Atoyebis.” Indeed, several others found a home in your house. You were big-hearted and accommodating; you never missed an opportunity to give. My wardrobe has my most expensive shoes from you; yes, and perfumes and clothes too.

You loved my wife and made her feel special, you were like her ‘big bro.’ I don't know how you did it, but you won the hearts of our children. You were the uncle they connected with, even more than both their paternal and maternal uncles. It hurts that they will see their ‘Uncle Boyega’ on this side no more. Our last daughter (Aliyah) looked forward to your pancake-making business partnership, we have not been able to tell her that it shall no more be. Thank you for accepting them, for loving them and for giving to them of yourself, your time and your resources.

You were quick to apprehend and bold to execute whatever you knew was your divine duty -at work, at home, and in responding to needs around you. You didn’t need a sermon to do good.

You epitomized the love of a husband for her wife, her family, and all that matters to her. Eno got it right when you walked into her life. It would simply not be the same without you.

Yes, you were not ordained a Pastor, but you knew God, you loved him and had a genuine walk with Him. Your understanding of scriptures was profound and we drank from that well when you ministered at our church, Inspiration Life Community Church, Abuja. You only came once, but you left a lasting impact. Lauretta and Joel (my E.A and P.A) will not forget you. You met them on phone to discuss your coming to minister; when you eventually came, you came bearing gifts for them - it made a lasting impression on them. The news broke them.

You fought the good fight of faith. You loved life and lived it to the full. You came, you saw, and you won. To us, it seems a short life, but it was a full life, a generous life, a life well lived, a life that will always be remembered.

Your family and friends will definitely sustain an inestimable loss by your death. How do you find another Gboyega? How do you find such an enigmatic personality? How do you find such a husband, friend, father and uncle? Where else is such generosity found with no pomposity?

We prayed and believed, but Sovereignty has ruled. It is painful, but we know it is impossible for the Judge of all the earth to do wrong. Finite faculties are utterly unable to comprehend the Infinite. So, through our tears, we thank God and we rest in His love. We shall see again on the resurrection morning.

Sleep till then, great friend and brother.

Much love & respect.

Wale Afelumo

Hummm, still can't believe you are gone. I am persuaded we would meet again. What can i say about all those love you showed me and my wife, or how many do i count of all those gifts you gave, all your advices keep ringing on and on. You were so full of life and joy. You were very accommodating. I remember listening to Pst Poju's messages with you. A big brother i would forever miss. I pray the Spirit's comfort for your wife and the entire family.

Your passing came as a huge shock and the pain will remain with me for a very long time. You were so full of life and absolute fun to be with. You came into Eno’s life when we were in Afrinvest and quickly became a part of all our lives even after we all moved on. As far as you were concerned Eno’s family and friends were yours too. I could always count on you responding to my invitation or request no matter how short the notice or whatever help I needed. I became your “Aunty Mab” not just in name only but by your actions. I felt your genuine love and I know I was one of your favourite aunties. The feeling was totally mutual.
You packed so much into your short time on earth especially in your professional career and your time with Eno. You were truly two peas in a pod. I used tease you guys that couples did the exotic holidays thing after retirement. What did I know?
Our loss though so painful is heaven’s gain. May your gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord. You will be sorely missed

Dear Gboyega, it’s sad you’re gone but to a better place. Love you so much brother. Sleep well in the arm’s of the Lord … Aderemi Adewunmi (Rusty)

It's so sad to learn of your demise. I only met you once and was very happy for your kind heartedness to my brother Sylverster whom you accompanied all the way from Canada to Nigeria to attend my daughter's wedding, making sure his family was comfortable on the children's first visit to Nigeria. My brother spoke very highly of you and I hoped to meet you again some day- but that day will never come. May your soul rest in peace.

My brother from another mother.

This feels like a really bad dream. Never imagined I will be saying goodbye so soon.
Though heartbroken, I know that you are in a better place and free from pain and discomfort.

I'm grateful to God for the times we shared. You were a big brother indeed. You never used the 'I'm older than you' card on me. You were more than fair in all your dealings. You treated me with respect and compassion. You were understanding and reassuring. You had a way of making challenging circumstances easy to deal with. I don't recall ever having an argument or falling out with you.

My partner in crime! When you say you would sort something or fix it, I needn't worry. I remember my accident involving multiple cars and a damage to the gate. You told me you'd sort it and you did. You'd sometimes offer to take the flak for me or assume all the blame when we got into trouble. You were such a kind soul.

Your payday was an opportunity to splash out on us and spoil us. You were so generous! You made it your mission to take us to new eateries in Lagos and all those popular food joints. You loved life and you lived it. I mean which naija man would go bungee jumping for his 40th birthday?

My swaggerlicious brother! You had a good taste in fashion; formal to traditional wear, always looking peng. You were smart and enterprising. You had many businesses on the go from the early 90's; shoes, clothing, food, supplies of anything and everything. You were successful at everything you did, a lover of God and a blessing to many.

I called you 'my selfie king'. Long before most people got a hang of taking selfies, you were perfect at it. You'd tell me "come to this side" motioning and directing me for the best pose. I'll cherish all those photos forever.

Meeting up numerous times in 2018 at family functions was the highlight of that year for me. We spoke about how we were looking forward to many more of such. Little did I know the rendezvous was ending. We became more of texting buddies in the last 2 years sharing updates, jokes, prayers...etc. I keep going over those messages as if you’d send something soon.

I will miss you so much Gboyesco, family get-togethers, parties and meet-ups won't be the same without you. I pray that God will comfort us all and most especially your darling, Eno.

Rest in the bosom of your maker my beloved brother because "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death." Isaiah 57:2.

'Ayowa

Egbon mi toh sure! This was not what we planned. We were supposed to be planning your 50th in Dubai now I’m sitting here trying to write a tribute.
It’s hard to talk about you in past tense.
TopGee to us and uncle Gee to the kids. You are such a brilliant light, one we were opportuned to call family. You had a special bond with the kids. You were quick to identify and acknowledge their talents and cheer them on. They miss you uncle Gee, they cried terribly when we told them you were gone.
There are way too many stories to tell about you. You were always the life of the party and you knew how to leave an impact on people even if they were meeting you for the first time. You knew how to take charge of everything and make sure everyone was comfortable. Even when I came to help take care of you, you turned around and ended up taking care of me.
I know that we will meet on the other side of eternity. We are thankful that we had you in our lives and your memory will live on forever in our hearts. Rest well egbon mi toh sure until we meet again.
SIL toh sure

Emem Metieh

On hearing that Mr Gboyega Atoyebi,has departed from this world.It shattered and broke my heart into uncountable pieces. We were earnestly awaiting his full resumption to office. But, the unquestionable God took him away.
My first encounter with him was a memorable and unforgettable one. He was a figure father,an optimist,a go getter,passionate and charismatic. A professional at what he does,an epitome of a great leader. His professional comportment is worthy of emulation.
The memories you left remind me of a wonderful leader you were.
A long tribute will not be able to quantify how you will be greatly missed sir.
The song may be over,but the MELODY will linger on.
May your soul rest in perfect peace sir. You will be forever missed and cherished .
From : Olayide Adesola

Farewells are sad to say especially to a boss who has impacted positively in people working around him.
MR ATOYEBI GBOYEGA (GB) working with you has been truly delightful, you were a man of your word, I will miss working with you and you will forever be missed.

Continue to rest in peace Boss.

Some people leave an indelible mark on your memory even though you do not see them often or, in this case, ever again in this world. I remember you as a man with a servant’s heart, selflessly tending to others' needs. I look through your pictures, and I see a heart filled with joy and peace, and you are at peace now, my brother. May God comfort all who you call your own, and may God make His face to shine upon them and grant them grace and peace in this time of need. Adieu, brother, eternity has no age, no beginning, no end of days, just joy everlasting. May your memories to your loved ones be evergreen, ever precious, and ever beautiful. Amen.

My sincerest condolences to the Atoyebis.

Gboyega Atoyebi!
Gone!?

One cannot question KÁBIÓÒSÍ.

We last saw well over 10 years ago, but ever since I met you in the early 90’s with Pastor & Mrs Femi & Debola Atoyebi, I observed that you were incontrovertibly evolving into an epitome of a Christian man, exuding infectious joy like it was a given.

You effortlessly personified humility, kindness, strength, courage, and grace.

KÁBIÓÒSÍ knows best.

I pray the Lord God Almighty, ẸLẸ́BÙRÚ ÌKÉ, in His infinite mercies comforts your entire family and loved ones in Jesus mighty name.

Sùun Ree O, gentle Giant.

You have left this evil world
You have run your race
Your leave was too soon
God knows every
You will be greatly missed by all that ever knew you oh.
Well, till we meet again at the feet of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
It is well with the rest of us
Particularly your amiable wife Eno.

Gboyega Atoyebi, Gmemo, Sir Gboye if tears could raise the dead you would have been raised. This is a rude shock, painful, heart piercing and so many unanswered questions in my heart. They say one cannot vouch for anybody not even oneself but I know I can vouch for you. You were an angel that lived amongst men but we didn’t realize it. You exuded love effortlessly and indeed had the wisdom of a great man. You shared knowledge, love and good deeds like Santa sharing candies. I remember accusing you of not wishing me a happy birthday October 2020 and you called immediately still smiling amidst the pain you were going through. Gmemo I wish I had spoken to you longer that day and called everyday after but alas… I am consoled knowing you are in a better place at the bosom of our God you loved so much and served with all your heart. Adieu my dear friend and brother you will be greatly missed and the world has lost an angel..
(Ehilzz as you always called me)

I'm extremely sad to learn about your demise, my very revered boss. However, I'm comforted by the fact that you are in a better place. You were a perfect gentle man. I remember the knowledge sharing sessions at management meetings and how you have so much impacted us with your wealth of knowledge. Thank you for giving to world Boss!!

Sorrow fills my heart this sad moment, a sorrow that is deep and personal. [MR ADEGBOYEGA ATOYEBI] has silently closed the door of life and departed from us. Our lives will be empty in the areas that he had brightened for us.
KEEP SLEEPING TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

GB,you are such a rare gem that will forever be remembered.What an impactful life to say the least!God will grant your family the fortitude to bear the loss and comfort them all.Rest on and continue to rest in the bossom of the Lord.Shalom.

I've always admired your leadership skills. You were a rare breed among leaders. Your legacies and teachings will forever remain with me. RIP GB,may God forgive all your shortcomings and grant you eternal rest.

GB as fondly called by most of us @ parkway Mfb,I will forever miss you!!!You taught me how to develop myself and be independent in order to be relevant in the society.You were so brilliant and organized which I appreciate most about you.You left a legacy that I can never forget in life.Sleep on sir till we meet to part no more.

Oh Mr Gboyega,
It is with heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I write this.
You have indeed lived life well. You were my Boss some years back and the way you live life was worthy of emulation. Your kind and sensitive heart is rare,you were a role model, always looking for the good of all including your subordinates.
Keep resting in the bosom of the Lord.
I pray God console your family.

Adegboyega!!! The news of your passing came as a rude shock! A man of impeccable character. I attest to the fact that you were God-fearing, dependable, loyal and generous. Am thankful that our paths crossed about 39yrs ago(FGCI-CO88). We certainly mourn your departure, but also encouraged by the words of the Almighty God in 2 Corinthians 5:8- that says to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

May the Almighty God grant your gentle soul eternal rest, till we meet on the resurrection morning. Adieu !!!

Gboyega. Fare thee well. I’m shocked. I always looked forward to catching up with you and sharing stories. We last saw at Tochukwu’s wedding and I promised you I would do better. I never expected to be writing a tribute. The beauty of your life is that I remember you with fondness. You left a mark….a good mark. May heaven welcome you my good friend.

Uncle G! That’s what we call you.
You were one of a kind. You could connect with anyone. It was always a breath of fresh air to hear you speak and have conversations with you.
You know I am Odun’s friend but you took me like your own sister. Whenever you were coming to Ilorin in those days and even to Manchester we were always so excited.
I remember after Uni at my first Job how you were always looking out for me and ensuring I was set up for success.
Always happy, couldn’t catch you without that smile… your demeanour was infectious. You were strict but had that amazing balance of a super cool uncle. At Odun’s wedding I remember you coming up to the dance floor and the entire dance floor lit up. You were just amazing.
Those random cupcake days to Odun and I just because
Words fail me uncle G! I can’t believe you are gone but those memories will stay with me forever
Rest in peace Uncle G!

It's still like a dream. Remembered the first day I met you, you were so gentle and would go out of your way to do what needs to be done. You will be sorely missed . Till we meet again and part no more

I was awaken to a rude shock on 3rd July to hear the passing away of my dearest brother and friend..He was an epitome of humility and selfless man to humanity. I met Gboyega in church at Rhema Chapel International Churches Yaba, we both served greatly in The Protocol Unit of the Church back then in 90's and early 2000. He was my best man when I got married in 2003 in Abeokuta. It's a great loss and I pray that God will keep his dear wife Eno and the wonderful families left behind. Sleep on my great brother. Love from Olurocky and my entire family

I met Mr. Atoyebi in 2019. He was a kind man, a good man. He was committed to teaching and helping other people attain their individual goal in life. Uncle Gboyega was generous with his time and money. He would give you gifts when you do not expect. He was a busy man but would make time to attend to people who needed his time. We prayed and believed God for the restoration of his health, yet it pleases God to call him home. It is a hurtful experience, but we pray God gives us grace to keep his memories alive by being kind and generous to the people around us.

Life on this side is a rehearsal for the main act. Gboyega, you lived and impacted so many people. You listened with your heart and advised with so much wisdom.

Adieu.

Brother Gboyega. The news of your passing came to me as a shock, infact I thought it was an error, because I couldn't come to terms with it. But in submission to the will of the most high God, I just had to say goodnight my brother.
I have good memories of our protocol days with Bishop Yomi Olorunsiaye in Rhema chapel Yaba.
You were warm, interesting in all things. You looked out for others and gave your best to everything. You came into church every meeting and departmental times calm, cool and well collected.
Sleep on beloved brother Gboyega.
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus name

Vous êtes un homme généreux et bienveillant qui est toujours à l'écoute et fait sourire les gens dans toutes leurs ramifications. Je n'ai jamais cru que tu étais parti parce que tes souvenirs sont encore frais.

Tu es la première personne à qui j'ai dit que j'aimerais voir chaque fois que je rentre à la maison, mais une mort prématurée t'a éloigné de nous.

Nous ne pouvons pas remettre en question le Dieu Tout-Puissant, mais je crois que nous nous reverrons tous le jour de la résurrection.

Bonne nuit mon grand oncle !
Adieu

Shortie (As you were fondly called by your uncle), you were one of a kind. You had joie de vivre, wisdom of the sages and humility all rolled into one person. Charitable, selfless and a man of few words. You knew what you wanted and you pursued it tenaciously. Your hands were never idle, because you always raised the bar. We love you, but God lives you more. You will be missed. Sleep on beloved....and keep dancing in heaven!!!!

Goodnight Gboyega, A truly good man with a brilliant mind and ever so willing to give. We thank God for your life and your impact...certainly a huge loss to us at the FGCI 88 group and Nigeria has lost a great and brilliant son.
May God grant him eternal rest. Amen.

A good man , ready to give at anytime called upon, a wealth of knowledge.

I remember always bouncing my business ideas with you and you were ever ready to guide me and tutor me , the last few times about 2 months ago I will ask that we talk at your free time , but you will respond to my text after awhile and you will say let's just chat.

Our chats could start as early 5.10am and go on for another 1 hr. or more, I will miss these moments dearly.

I remember the call you made to me when the Pandemic started last year about setting up a fund to help our old class mates who might be in need, you promised you will raise N500k + from your end and a few others you will reach out to , yes you did in a record time , your benevolence was exceptional, you still called and ask that what we were giving should increase and you could still do more.

Adieu Gboyega , a good man , a good heart, a hot stepper, you will be greatly missed.

God grant your family and the entire class of FGCI '88 fortitude to bear this great loss.

Sun re, Ore.

I knew you just for a little while, but it was obvious you were a man of peace and easy going. God is Sovereign and we can't question him, if he has chosen to call you home, we judge him faithful. Rest in peace Gboyega!

Rest in peace Gboyega Atoyebi(FGCI 88). We know u are in a better place.

Brother Gboyega, truly, you were a prince amongst men. There are those you know for a lifetime but vaguely remember, and there are those, who by divine providence cross your path briefly, yet, leave a footprint that cannot be erased - like a burning comet over a dark horizon.
Brother Gboyega’s life to me was an epistle of three words, “Look upwards always”. His words, actions and demeanour preached the same message. I am left with no doubt that even with the closing of his eyes on this mortal plane and as he longed for heavenly shores, he was still gazing upwards for that eternal hope with eyes we could not see.
Brother Gboyega stood as a champion amongst men, a brilliant sparkle against the grey backdrop of mortal life. In life, he left a mark and a message that ripples on through all that met him - this is the seal of greatness in a man. The thought of his absence brings pain but as he lived, so must we all, we must “look upward always” into that blessed hope. Like him, we are all homeward bound.
Thank you Brother Gboyega for a warriors life and for walking the path of the faithful. Now, you have entered into your rest and into life everlasting. Will truly miss you.
