"Madam, the Madam" that's the way I greet Sister Aderoju Ogunbiyi if she calls me on Phone or I called her on Phone.

And her usual reply would be: "Paassstooor, my brother from another Mother"

This Sister that has just transited to glory was a Dorcas in the true sense of the word. Whether you ask or not, she was always looking out to help others with her substance !!! Since we met as Workers at the RCCG , CITADEL OF HIS GLORY, 7TH AVENUE, FESTAC,Lagos over 30 years ago, she has truly displayed commendable Fruit of the Spirit as a believer.

As the Head of the Welfare Department immediately I became the Pastor In Charge of the RCCG, ANCIENT OF DAYS Parish 26 years ago, Madam's zeal in serving the Lord was plain to all.

She ensured my Kitchen never lacked foodstuffs as a Bachelor/Minister in NavyTown. When I married, I taught
my wife how to make Semovita and the likes and when she wanted to know how come Icould make those food perfectly, I pointed to Mrs Ogunbiyi who became the closest person to her in the whole of the Naval Barracks and remained so till her passing to glory.

"Madam, the Madam" is virtious, diligent, hardworking, truthful, frank and unpretentious over any issue.

One thing I shall miss most is our lenghty conversations whenever the need arose . My entire family will miss her, there is no other place that my children had spent more holidays than the Ogunbiyi's house.

We shall Meet To Part No More in Jesus Mighty Name.

Goodnight.

This tribute is dedicated to our beloved Big Mummy, Mummy Ogunbiyi, who departed from us on March 22nd, 2024.

While other kids dreamed of fancy vacations, our idea of a perfect holiday was simply being at the Ogunbiyi's. Your home was always our favorite place to be during the holidays because it was filled with so much love, warmth, and hospitality. Our parents never worried about leaving us in your care because they knew you'd treat us like your own.
You were not just a mother figure to us, you were also our friend, our kindhearted Big Mummy.
Your kindness, generosity, and love knew no bounds. Though we miss you dearly, we take comfort in knowing that you're in a better place now. Rest easy, Ma

From Deborah, John and Joshua Aribatise
