Jide, today makes it a year you were laid to rest,
But you know what they say,
God giveth and taketh,
Everything happens for a reason,
Even if we may not agree.
You were are good friend and brother to me.
The thought of never seeing you again brings tears to my eyes,
Your death was shocking to me.
But we should never question what God has planned,
Sometimes it’s not meant for us to understand.
Jhido, you gonna live forever in my heart. Good night my dear friend and brother.

Still feels like yesterday that we were talking, and making plans, even though I still internally struggle with accepting the fact that you are gone, you will forever hold that place of being my personal person. Even though your race was short but it was definitely a impactful race you ran. And for that I am grateful, and I am most grateful for the advice you gave, you never held back and always made sure you told.me what needed to hear ragrdless of how i would feel. The boys and I are doing our best to keep your special little touches going but it's not the same, but i know you are in a better place and continue to rest my brother.

So interesting was my relationship with Jide, we were in the class of the smallest in our set 1996 SET OF CMS Grammar School, Lagos, so we just without choice became buddies. We were very outspoken in our different ways, but Jide added intelligence to it, not that I was not intelligent, but not in the math way.
What warms you up is the smile he has in his bag for everyone, you can't see him and not get a warn smile from his dimpled face and his nack for mischievity.
Will miss you my friend... “Pluming wings for higher flight: Up and on! Up and on!”... Up school... Up boys

hmm,were do i start,how do i start?
I met Babajide when he was with spring registrars LTD and i just newly joined spring capital ltd hence had little or no knowledge how d share registration process works,this gentle man always takes his time to answer all my foolish questions and show me how whole process works.this singular act alone made my dealings with other registrars easy. all thru my official and personal interaction with him,he was always ready to lend a helping hand and also give a listening ear.
i have never seen him angry,never seen him loose his composure,there is always this smile on his face.kind hearted to a fault
adieu to a true gentle man,continue to rest in perfect peace.our loss,heaven's gain.

Forever in my heart

Whenever I try to say something, I get short in words
Whenever I open this tribute to contribute, my mind weakens. I am so sorry Pal.

What do I say? What do I write? Where do I start? There is much to say.
Surprisingly and honestly, I only have good interactions and memories, direct and indirect.
That is rare………because you are rare and truly a “Special One” – An angel in disguise. Why does it have to take death to make me realise?


We went from colleagues to good friends
And from tight friends to being a family friend
And then we became brothers

Babajide Olowolagbe (Omoyele - I keep this name tight) AKA JAID.

I am still in shock and denial
My emotions are frail now and failing. I am still disillusioned

We had plans. We made plans. We were always working on good plans. And I have always known that I have been privileged with someone I can relate to, anytime, anywhere and always

I have only met few people as open-minded and good-hearted as you were. Whenever we have given it our best and all and it seems obvious our efforts were going futile, while I complained and feel dejected, you were always calm and full of hope. Saying “Wo Banji, leave it, it is well”. You easily let go after giving it your best

I will forever reminisce how simple and easy you made life with this principle. I always learn this again and again from you. Now you made all too clear and imprinted this time - forever.

I have never seen you annoyed at anything, anybody or at any situation. You are always full of hope. You have never planned against anyone even in a slight moment. Always smiling and helpful

You have given life your all and once again made it simple – living in and leaving this world. I have been honoured to share in your life experiences and know your personality.

I pray the Lord freshens you and keep you in His garden and in peace wherever you dwell now. It is well with your soul

Humans leave trails after themselves. Most inevitably leave stories that are terrible.

We are all stories, Be a good one

JAID, you are a good story that will forever gladden and remain in my heart

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have known you and still proud to narrate your story.

Sometimes, when its impossible to escape saying someone’s story because it is terrible, we lie about the story.

Thank you Jide

For giving me the privilege, even after you are gone to say the truth with your story

Thank you pal and Shalom.

Jide my CMS Grammar Sch broda, continue to rest on, may God comfort the family you left behind.

I still can't believe you gone, waiting to hear from your brother that it was only a joke

That's why it taking me so long to write a tribute note cos you not gone yet, you just resting

Even now, I still don't know what to say

Just wake up cos the joke is too expensive

Hmmm Jide...I watched as you were laid to rest yesterday with so much pain in my heart...

Jide!!!!! Chai!!! In all honesty you didn’t deserve to go this soon.Am soooooo pained because you played your part well and trusted your beloved hospital (Rjolad) to play theirs but they failed you!!! I never imagined that things will get this bad..Never!!!!!

I remember how we met when I joined AIICO pension and later discovered that you were married to Lara my long time friend..I remember how we worked on two major projects together..I remember how I stressed you so much to deliver on the projects..I remember how you always brought your calm, composed, intelligent ideas to the projects..I remember how you always listened attentively to me anytime I needed to rant..I remember how we usually disagree and agree...I remember how you detest people arguing particularly if it was in your favour...I remember our discussions about property, death and career...I remember your daily routine with your kids (your investments)...I remember how you always talked about your weekend routine of taking Foyin to make her hair and Gideon to play football..I remember how you never liked to stress Lara when I requested you worked later than planned particularly on weekends. I remember you in your fitted suite and glasses every Monday morning seating behind me during the meeting and hitting my seat intermittently..I remember how you call me“Mrs Agbedee!!Stubborn!!”.

Jide!!!!!!!! You were gentle, soft spoken(but can be very firm), very punctual, professional, dependable, selfless, very hardworking and thoughtful..You never did things beyond your capacity..You were contented with what you had..You loved Lara and the kids dearly and lived for them..You also never joked with your grand mother and dad particularly..

Jide oooo!!!! I have known you for barely 20 months and it seems like forever..Never did I imagine that I will be writing about you in your absence...Am forever grateful to God for making our paths cross and to you for choosing to be my true friend (though for a short while but it was impactful)..

I trust God that He will not leave nor forsake Lara and your kids.. He will stand by them and meet them at the point of their need..He will also comfort and strengthen your parents,siblings,grand parents and extended family..

Sleep on my dearly beloved Jide till we meet to part no more...


February 14, 2020
February 14, 2020
I have known Jide from childhood days, as I lived close to his grandparents. Jide was very gentle and calm. Even as we grew older, had our families and rarely saw each other as frequently as before, he always ensured to keep in touch by sending messages on birthday and anniversary celebrations. His passing on is very painful, but I take solace in the fact that he was a Christian and believe he is resting in the bosom of our heavenly Father. I pray that God comforts and strengthens his immediate family and loved ones
February 14, 2020
February 14, 2020
I never met Babajide but I know his wife Omolara as a friend. I am sure she extends such grace from her husband. Though gone but will forever be missed.

I pray God give Lara, his children and the entire family he left behind the fortitude to bear his demise.

Rest on Brother!

Babajide Olowolagba may your soul rest in peace. It is like a dream to me that you have left us without saying goodbye..... Your death is very very painful. The last time I saw you was on Saturday at R-Jolad hospital.... Not knowing that I will see not you again. We will miss you Babajide Olowolagba sleep on in the Lord. I pray for your family that you left behind that God will continuing to be with them and for your and the children that you love so much that God will give them grace to bear this pain and He will continuing to be with them and provide for their daily need in Jesus Almighty name Amen. We love you but God loves you more. Good night Babajide Olowolagba till we meet again in the Lord God.

February 14, 2020
I will never have the right words or be able to say goodbye. Your death is such a great loss. I only pray that your soul finds eternal peace in the Lord and God strengthen the family you left behind in this dark moment and beyond. You will forever be in our heart. Thank for the sweet memories.

I know you as the most reserved and coolest officer APML ever had, we don't really talk, but I remember late last year when you open our office entrance door for me, then I told myself, "this man has always been a gentleman since I know him here"
Rest on bro
We'll all miss your face
The world just lost a gentleman
February 13, 2020
February 13, 2020
Babajide Olowolagba, it is hard to accept that you were no more.You were a special true colleague, friend and a good listener with good heart. I learnt a lot from you on the job because you were patient and ever ready to teach and learn from others. You will be sorely missed, we love you but God loves you more.
May the Lord continue to comfort your entire family,you may now rest in peace.
February 13, 2020

Your service of songs today is a testament of the fact that you lived a very good life albeit, short based on our human understanding.

Seats were not enough, testimonies abound of your good deeds by family, friends and colleagues alike.

The desire of yours to have underprivileged kids to have education and widows enjoy life are highly commendable.

God bless you Jide. Your good deeds are wise investments for Lara and your seeds. They will not suffer, this I know.

Keep resting on till we complete our own assignments to meet and part no more.

February 12, 2020
Bro,
This is still unreal. But we can’t question God. To know you was to love life, smile, love one another, remain optimistic, and be cheerful. Indeed, you’ve departed this sinful world prematurely, but have lived a good life. I know you’ll make an exemplar amongst angels.
May your very gently soul continue to Rest In Peace and May God continue to strengthen your loved ones.
February 12, 2020
February 12, 2020
Still in shock...... On my head is how Tayo goes on and on about how a wonderful brother you were, the few times spent with you proved it ... May God grant the whole family the strength to bare this big loss...... Sleep well in the bosom of the lord almighty brother Jide

Very sad and painful that you had to leave so soon. May God Almighty give the Family you left behind the Fortitude to bear this big loss. Your will forever remain in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of meeting you.

February 12, 2020
Jide!! You were a good man! Gosh!! The news of your demise came to me as a rude shock. You were always keeping in touch, always checking up, always remembered to call on my birthday. You had great plans for your family and did so many research on how to materialize these plans. God is never mocked and I trust He will not depart from your family. Rest in peace my dear friend! So glad I had the privilege of knowing you. May God comfort your family and fill the vacuum only Him can do in their hearts.

PAINFUL EXIT OF AN ICON 
My eye filled up with tears, my heart was so heavy when I heard that the kindhearted Babajide Omoleye Olowolagba is late. I wished it was an imagination or mere dream,but it is real!now I got the interpretation that say's "The straight & tall tree does not last in the forest"

Babajide Omoleye Olowolagba has lived his life to the fullest and impact many lives around him during his time here with us. He loved his family dearly and a devoted Husband/Father/Brother/Cousin,and was a comfort to Grandma ,also Bimbo's confidant . 

With the time we have spent together right from childhood till death,Babajide has not just been a cousin, but a brother who have being very supportive in every area.It is difficult to imagine that Myself and Bimbo ll not see u in midst again. Our heart ll always be filled with wonderful memories of the good times we had together. No doubt ur absence ll be greatly felt by Bimbo and I . We ll miss u, ur brotherly companion,care and love. However,those memories ll linger on in our minds.

God we can not ask u why because u see & know beyond our understanding. We take solace in the fact that we are going to meet over there to depart no more.

My prayer is that God in his mercies should give the Olowolagba's family and the entire family of Kinyomi the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Heaven Gain, Earth Loss

My heart is so shattered to the extent that i find it hard to stop crying ! Daddy Gideon as i fondly call you, when i broke the news of your demise to my wife , she almost passed out...... We lived together as blood brothers when we were neighbors in Shomolu...your son Gideon is like a Son to me....  Oh my God, how do i build up strength to look at Mummy Gideon in the eye's...she treats my children like her own, always showering them with gifts........ sincerely i have never felt pain of loved one's demise in my heart this way. Rest on beloved, may your soul find peace with your creator....till we meet on the resurrection day. From my family, we tearfully say Goodnight...

Hmmm,life is indeed a market place,though I wasn’t so closed to you growing up because I was a very stubborn child and you would always scold me,little did I know that you wanted only the best for me.I realized and it’s of good benefit to me,your impact in my life cannot be overemphasized because you are part of the few that moulded me into the strong and smart young lady that I have become.

You were a disciplinarian but Godfearing,humble and down to heart.You lives a live worth emulating,you were intelligent and always ready to assist academic wise.

I could go on and on but I will like to stop here.I am consoled cause I know that the angels are rejoicing to have you....Rest in the bosom of our Lord.

His Life

The life of Babajide Olowolagba in brief

February 7, 2020
He was a father, son, brother, grandson, colleague, true friend among others. He was married to his beautiful wife Omolara in a marriage that produced 2 wonderful children.

He was a graduate of Accounting from University of Lagos Akoka in 2005 after his primary and secondary school education in Philomena Nursery and Primary School Yaba and C.M.S Grammer School Bariga both in Lagos.

He was an Oracle 9i Database Administrator before his death.

Till He passed on, He was a staff of AIICO Pension Managers Limited which he joined in 2012 and rose to become the Team Lead, Contributions and Collections Department after short stints in Pan African Capital Plc between 2007 and 2012.

He was an Associate Member of the Institute of Capital Market Registrars.

In the church where he worshipped, he was well respected due to his involvement in the church activities. He was a Sunday school teacher, he was close to the children and he took education of less privileged members very seriously as he gave scholarships to kids and today, with his support, there are University graduates and of note is one that graduated with First Class from UNILAG. He also devoted his time to support widows and the elderly members of the church. 

He is a very thoughtful brother, father and husband. He never joked with his family members' well-being. It is not surprising that he was the "go-to-guy" for everyone around him. 

We will surely miss him but we are consoled with the fact that He has truly gone to be with the Lord.

It is a year already and it still feels like yesterday because I still feel the pain and hurt over your passing on. I remember not being able to go to your department at work for a while. They say time heals wounds but this is one big wound that is yet to be healed. You were like a brother to me, you had so many good qualities and nice to a fault which I remember usually caused one of our arguments. You were capable of working with even the most difficult person because you were very easy going but principled. You always made your point clear and willing to change only if there was valid fact. Everyone who knew you well or worked with you all knew that you always wore a smile and always checked up on people even when it was inconvenient and sometimes out of your way..but you made me understand that sacrifice is never comfortable or pleasant. I miss your advice, encouragement and good cheers. I remember one of our random talks where you said if you are gone you would like every one to move on...Hmm like I said then and I still maintain that position now.. It's not that easy especially if the person was close or a good friend. I dare not question God for He knows what is best for us and He Loves you more than us all. 
February 4, 2021
Time goes so fast. It's been 365days. Words fail me each time I try to write. That's honestly unusual for me. I believe you have continued on our/the good plan but you left the part that said we are doing it here. Maybe, as usual, and now more convincingly, you see clearer and wouldn't want me to dissuade you. I am sure your journey is sweet and smooth. I wish I could tell you more about my life now - what we have been waiting for - and visit you more regardless of the obvious and acceptable excuses. I miss you bro. It's different knowing that you are there and I can always call but now, all I have is memories. But again, you are sweet even in this. Thank you for the good memories. Thank you for sharing with me. Thank you "Jaiyd" - I cannot tell or explain this but to you and myself. God bless your soul non-stop.

i was shocked

February 18, 2020
the news was a shock.. i have still not gotten over it.. Memories of childhoold kept flashing back..  i still cant find words.. Your smiles courage kindness and more.. You were a wonderful brother and your memories will be forever.
