Babajide Olowolagba was my neighbour back in the days at jakande estate isolo, he was such a cool,calm and easy going guy. We recently reconnect during a training session after long years, and he promised to keep in touch which he did (WhatsApp chat),I will forever cherish the last group picture we took together. Adieu Babajide.

It is hard for me to accept that am writing a tribute for one so dear and my birthday mate. If anyone had told me that I will be writing tribute to the memory of Jide Olowolagba at this time I would have said that it was inconceivable.

Jide lived a simple and plain lifestyle. He was a true Christian in word and real life, a gentleman to the core. He is a man of honour and integrity, qualities that are very rare in our society today.

I have no doubt that the God he believed in and served so diligently has welcomed him to his bosom. He was a loving husband to his wife a strong and caring father to his children.

Adieu Jide

We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Jide Olowolagba

He was a great Colleague and Friend

Jide changed the dynamic wherever he was, with his tremendous sense of humor, warmth and intelligence. When Jide was involved, you knew everything would be better. He was simply incomparable, hardworking and fun to be with! I'll remember his love for good conversations, his immense courtesy and concern for others. In all ways, Jide was special and will be greatly missed

Goodbye Jide..

.

Jide Olowo ni Senior, you will forever be missed. We are so so so SAD about your departure, I still can't believe you are gone. We are full of hope but Allah knows best. May Almighty Allah grant you eternal rest. RIP JIDE

Uncle Jide, your death came as a shock to all us. Words can not describe the pain but  God knows all. Rest on brother. You will greatly missed.

ADIEU UNCLE JIDE

so sad that the good trees those not last in the forest, you're very rare among your mate's
Your disciplinary action and ways of counciling will forever be missing.
You're a blessing to the youth of owodunni parish for the roles you played in our life's is very vital.
So sad this happen so soon, but I know vividly that there is always a reason for everything.
Keep sleeping in the heart of the Lord till we see to part no more.... We love you but God love you most.

I can boldly say Uncle Jide was my very first friend when my family and I moved to 11, Gbeto Street, Iwaya. He was the big brother I never had. Moving to Gbeto Street as a teenager, a time in one's life when one made some unwise decisions, uncle Jide would make sure my head was correct. I had intentions of studying Accounting when I got to the university and he was there to guide me through as the fellow accountant that he was. Even after moving from Iwaya, uncle Jide would always check up on me and never ever forget my birthday. I'm still dazed hearing about his demise, but I choose to hold on to the fact that God is good. The memories I have of you are ever lovely and I choose to also hold on to that. I'm sure our heavenly Father is glad to have you. Rest well uncle Jide.

Jide Exudes poise and inspires confidence.
He can be relied upon to deliver.  He comes across as a child of God even from afar. May his peace be with you my brother till we meet on the golden stream where we meet to part no more at the Lord's feet.

I'm short of words and grieved, I still can't believe you are no more. The news of your death has left a great vacuum in our heart, u will surely be missed. Jydo keep on resting in d bosom of the Almighty. We love you but God love you most.

Jide!!! The news of your eternal rest grips my heart because it is too sudden, though I believed you have gone to be with your creator. SLEEP ON BROTHER.
JIDE WAS A COLLEAGUE OF MINE AT SPRING REGISTRARS LIMITED, A SUBSIDIARY OF SPRING CAPITAL PLC
NOW PAC CAPITAL IN 2008-2010. JIDE WAS A PLEASANT PERSON TO BE AND WORK WITH. LOVING, HELPFULL, ACCOMMODATING, SINCERE, TRUSTWORTHY AND GOD FEARING. WE LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL FOREVER LEAVE - ON IN OUR HEARTS. GOD LOVES YOU MORE. SLEEP ON BROTHER TILL MEET AT THE FEET OF JESUS ON THE RESURRECTION MORNING. GOOD NIGHT BROTHERLY
.............ADENUGA ROTIMI ADETOLA

I am really short of words, can't seem to put the words together. All that comes to mind is why, why, why, why you Jide?
We have elderlies well over 80 years in the family, why didn't this death take one of them?
Guess that is just one of life mysteries we can never fully understand but I take solace believing you are in a better place away from the troubles of this world.

Though we don't see or talk much but the few times we did, you always brought a smile to my face. You had enough calmness to spread around, a gentleman to the core. Your demise is a great loss! You will be greatly missed brother.

I pray that your gentle soul finds eternal rest and May the holy spirit comfort your wife, kids, parents and everyone of us.

Sun rẹ ọ Babajide Olowolagba!

Hmmm jido like I fondly call u. I can't honestly believe I'm writing this down this moment. My heart sank the min I got Bodunrins msg that u had passed on. Tears rolled down my cheeks having to deal with the fact that I had lost 2 very dear pple to my heart within a space of one month.
Jido was a one in a million brother he would always check up on u and gave words of encouragement even when I was down. My birthdays were never a miss to Jido. His WhatsApp msg always got in 12 midnight on my birthday and that of my hubby and kids.
I would definitely miss all the good times we had in unilag and even afterwards. U were my only guy frd that my hubby knew. U would always find time to check me up whenever I'm ard despite ur work schedule and ur pet name for me "baby Deru" will linger in my heart 4eva.
I will miss u so so much jido but take solace in the fact that u are with ur creator.
Continue to rest in peace my dearest padi of life

A special kind of guy that will be missed greatly by all, how I still wish someone wakes me up and say it's all a dream. Jido! You are a general in d army of men with beautiful heart, my heart bleeds knowing you are gone. I would if I could turn back the hands of time so u can live ON but I can't. Rest ON bro! You will forever remain green in our hearts.

Jydo, we started out as neighbors, and then became friends, and ended up becoming brothers, I still cant believe you are no longer here, I will definitely miss our conversations and name calling and most especially our bond.
You were the glue that kept "PANACHE"together, I still think about all those days as kids walking around and getting into all kinds of trouble you were always the voice of reasoning.
I've cried , and gotten upset since I heard of your passing. but in as much as it sucks that the world lost a great soul,i take comfort in knowing that we all also gained a new angel.
I know you are in a better place, and just like you checked up on everyone here on earth to make sure we were ok, I know you will be doing the same for us from above.
You will always have your special.place in my heart "BOOM" , and all I can say is thank you for being that brother I never had, and for showing us all how to love, accept and care for friends and family unconditionally.
Rest on my padi for life.

Rest In Peace Bro Jide , We love you but I know God loves you more . I pray all your good works as a Christian will not be wasted , You will sit beside our Lord Jesus Christ. May God grant your Wife, Children , Mother and Siblings Fortitude to bear your loss.

RIP Brother ...God knows best ....God will continue to be with the family u left behind

Oh death where's thy sting! It is with heartbroken I write this. It was a rude shocking moment for me when i woke up to read the news about your demise. I can't even get over this still. I had to make series of calls to confirm the sad news. Jide Olowolagba, a gentle soul, easy going,cool headed, a jolly good fellow. May God in HIS mercy forgive your shortcoming, and make Heaven a better place for you. We(OLD GRAMMARIAN SOCIETY '96 SET) are bereaved. Good night brother!

BOOM like you are fondly called(Babajide Omoyele Olowolagba Michael) An astute leader.A great friend turned brother.He always preached peace and togetherness amongst his friends and peers.Always available in terms of need.Your demise is a great loss to me especially because we shared a lot in common.I know you are In a better place now Brother..Till we meet to part no more.....I have got great Love for you Brother.Your memories will forever Linger...God bless you immensely.

You have departed, leaving your dear ones behind with your memories. It is difficult to imagine our lives without a friend who has been a strong support, a great motivator and a friend for life. Rest in Peace Jide Olowolagba
Up School!!!!

Jide, where do i start from, the look in your eyes.....the smile on your lips.....the way you talk.....your Yoruba diction..... the tone of your voice....its pitch, i will miss everything about you. I wish Torera got to know you more, my favorite of the family, my Baba . . . as i fondly called you, those times in Iwaya will forever be golden, i looked forward to Sunday afternoons and force our way there cos i knew you will be there, and days i dont see you, i waited angrily till you came just to get you to smile at me and say u sorry, even tho there was nothin to be sorry for. Your mum always wondered what was up with me as Lara beams at me with her wide grin and beautiful wide eyes. May God give all your family the Grace to bear the loss, cos you are too good to go, just like that? I never had a chance to say goodbye?

I never knew Granpa's birthday would be the last time we would see, you noticed my tears when no one else did, you could see beneath all the gyration that it wasnt me, you saw the weight, took time to see me off and listened to me cry my heart out, you were there for me when i needed it, and i am so sorry i couldnt return the favour; i didnt know. You helped my mind, to see things better and the closure got clearer, thank you.... i will always love you, the comfort of having you might have been taking away, but not that of having had you, i'm glad our path crossed and i will always keep the silent lessons, Rest on dear friend in the bossom of our Lord Jesus Christ, He knows best and we TRUST HIM

Babajide Olowolagba, I am speechless. A beautiful soul that never gets angry. Always smiling. My heart aches but God loves you the most. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear this great loss. Sleep on my brother. Rest In Peace Jide.

Jide, you were such a gentle soul, calm even in the face of provocation. We cannot question God, but I’m still in shock as to why good people die young. You needed the rest after a long drawn battle, you will be sorely missed. You are gone too soon, but we know the Lord is your host now, and in that we take solace. Rest on my brother

Bro Jide, the gentle big brother I grew up to know. My heart bleeds to know you are gone but I celebrate the good life you lived. One thing that can't be ignored about you is your smile, calmness. You are a gentleman to the core.

God will strengthen and uphold Aunty Lara and the kids. And also console your parents, grandparents, siblings, friends and family.

Your legacy and good works will always be cherished. We love you and you will surely be missed. Rest in the blossom of our Lord Jesus Christ Bro Jide..

A good heart has stopped beating, but a heart that has touched many lives can't help but live on in those it loved.
Dear brother, your heart may have stopped beating, but your good heart will not be forgotten.
We love you, but God loves you more. Rest on brother.

Always a gentleman with genuine heart of kindness....
Your life was beautiful and a blessing to us all to have shared it with you at one point or the other. Your memory will be a treasure and you will be missed beyond measure.
Sleep well Brother!!!

It was a shock when I heard at first, I felt deeply pained and heart grieved , because he has been a role model to me, in some of my perceptions to life...But on the second thought I felt why can't humans be filled with joy instead of grief over beloved lost?
Its a heavy thing to bear tho.

But

I personally decided,  to embrace love ❤and happiness coupled with thanksgiving at this moment over the life of my beloved brother JIDE OLOWOLAGBA a mentor, a true father, a simple and very kind hearted church member, a respectable personality, a time disciplined fellow, and all in all someone who has impacted many lives and loved by all.

You Live on brother! 
and I believe this is just a transit into a life beyond all limits. I am sure you would want everyone to feel as happy as you being here with us. You forever remain a blessed one in all our hearts.❤.
May God Almighty continue to uphold your family and may HIS Grace become abundant for eternity over the Children and thier mother. ‍‍‍

You live on!!!

I grew up knowing you as one of my elder ones and have always known you as Bro. Jide and you have never fallen short of it.

I knew you all my life as one of the most caring brothers on earth and one who could never miss to say Happy Birthday to me except in 2019, didnt know you were going through something we didnt have control over.

Helped me in Account assignments in Secondary school.

Didn't know seeing you at the party on the 17th of November, 2019 will be my last of seeing you Egbon mi. As usual, you were so caring and excited to see me, Dayo eat, Dayo drink, Dayo hope you and your sister Tayo are keeping in touch....

I was hesitant to write but reading through what everyone has written about you Bro. Jide, I am confident and proud to have had you as a Big Brother who has only cared about everyone around him.

We will miss you and I pray that God be with your loving wife and kids and keep them strong.

Egbon mi Sun re o. Till we meet to part no more.

Your departure still left me speechless and the vacuum you left behind as a friend and senior colleague can never be filled by anyone. The imagination and memories of your soft spoken words has refused to be erased in my mind and left tears rolling through my eyes. I asked myself every morning after hearing that you passed on to glory “why do good and nice people die early“? You were always ready to help, very generous, humble, highly intelligent and most importantly peace loving fellow. You fought a good fight and at the time we thought you have won the fight and hoping to see you back on your feet again but death took you away from us. All I can say is that God Almighty grant you eternal rest and give the family and friends you left behind the fortitude to bear your lost. “Olowo” as I fondly call you, we love you but God Loves more. REST IN PEACE Babajide Olowolagba

You were the definition of a gentleman. You were very calm and a very good friend. I know we had not spoken for a long time but I still have fond memories of us growing up together and the parties we used to have organised by you and your friends. I remember how you were there consoling me when we lost Tope. I wish you were still here but God knows best. You will always be in our heart because you are unforgettable. We will love you always. Rest In Peace

I am here to celebrate your life
And the measure of its worth
And every single time you touched my life
While you were on this earth.
I wish to pay my last respect.
To thank you for your friendship
And all the memories i hold dear.
It's been a privilege to have known you.
We were family, not just friends,
I ‘ve known you for over 20 years,
And i wish i never had to say good bye to you brother
I cannot get over the shock!
Sleep on my Friend ...

Hmmmm.....I don't know how best to describe you Uncle Jide..Your death came as a Shock to me and I couldn't help but shed tears that day and I still feel pain within me...How can I forget how helpful you were to me I remember when I always run to you when I'm having difficulties in my Financial accounting back in secondary school Rest in peace uncle...I'll miss you dearly...

Knowing you from afar, i could still tell that you were a perfect gentleman. Hearing from different people these past days about the impact you made, makes it harder to understand. It is sad that you had to go at this time, but God knows best.

May God continue to comfort, strengthen and be with your wife my darling friend Lara , your lovely children and your loved ones.
Rest in peace Jide Olowolagba

Goodness Lord...am simply speechless..You were so gentle, reserved...May your gentle soul rest in peace and May GOD grant the family the strength and grace they need now...Rest on Baba jeje... 

Hummmmm Babajide my Brother & my Friend, I cant get the words to express how I feel but am very grateful to GOD because growing up with you and knowing you has been a wonderful experience, your calmness & strength had always been a thing of courage to me.
I take solace in the fact that you knew, walked & worked with GOD, therefore am strong in faith that we will surely meet and never depart again in the present of GOD Almighty. Súnré o omo Akin

Hmmmm, i didn't know i will be writing tributes about you too soon my big egbon bro jide you are a such a caring person to everyone who comes in contact with you... I could remember your words for me then. When grandpa was admitted into ikeja teaching hospital you said am I ok with the job am doing that i should send you my cv which you wanted the best for me.. and i told you that i want to go into teaching line and you were concerns like they don't pay much like that you wanted the best for me... likewise you said myself and omotayo don't want to work in banking industry (that it's fine).... which you pray for me.. you always putting on a smiling face at all time. Am always looking forward in seeing if there is any occasion in grandpa house which will make me to see you... who is going to call me "monsura".. the monsura happen to be my own late mum's name... I wish you be around to see me get married but God understands everything.. You have a large heart of Gold for all and always create that family bonds anytime any day... I miss you dearly and I love you. but God loves you more .

Tears roll from my heart to my eyes all because of you bro Jide, it come like a dream which am still trying to wake up from, I shot my eyes and opened them but still of the same words, you have teach me a great legacy of how to lead a multitude with patience and endurance.
Bro Jide you have shown me how to live with people with silence and patience..

Your legacy will forever be written on a marble.

Sleep well uncle Jide till we met again Akoni Okunrin, Onirele, Oniwatutu, Oniteriba....
We will forever miss you

I write this with deep sober reflection over the unexpected and untimely deathof Brother Jide Olowolagba.

He was gentle, kind-hearted, cheerful, and down to earth.

Hmm! Death is inevitable, Brother Jide has run his own race, though it may be short but left good values behind, not only for his family but also for others.

Our prayer to God Almighty is to make the soul of the departed rest in peace.

I thank God for the good life you lived, the values and legacies you left behind. We pray God keep and strengthen your wife (Sister Lara), your two kids, siblings and all you left behind.

You will forever be missed. All Sunday School Children and Youth Organization members of CCC Owodunni parish will miss you.

Good night! 
Rest in peace!!

I pen this with a very heavy heart, I have a lot to say but I really don't know where to start from. You were such a gentleman, you touched many lives with your kindness, caring, loving and peaceful nature. You were always there for the family. You cared and shared so much!
Never did we think you will leave us so soon, you were all I could ask for in a brother-in-law, it has been a wonderful privilege to have know you.
May you rest in the hands of the Lord who gives and takes.......Rest in perfect peace my beloved brother, till we meet to part no more.
Adeola Olowolagba ("Iya Meto" has you fondly use to call me)

Hmmm still in doubt of his demise
Cos uncle jide(like we call him the Sunday school) has been a wonderful man and the best uncle to all the Sunday kids of my set in ccc owodunni parish, he made me realize what life truly means and if not for uncle jide i would have been a miscreant and a nuisance in the society but with him i was a changed person.... I will forever miss you and you will forever be in my heart continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord

U believed in Olowolagba Segun's ideas as much as I do.... I'll keep encouraging him like u av always did.....It's so hard 2 say God bye ..but God is UNQUESTIONABLE  Rest oon Babjide

What does one say at a time like this to help ease the pain. Jide you will sorely be missed and I pray God grants the family and loved ones the fortitude to be the irreplaceable loss, Amen.

Continue to rest in peace

I wish I could just have a chance to share my idea with him then cos he was a man full of high instinct, he talk less but that little he shared was a whole. R.I.P bro jide I know my friend segun will really miss you much, Till we see again.

Babajide Omo alagba as we used to call you during our secondary school days. You were such a gentle soul, you will forever be missed. May you continue to rest in the bossom of Christ till we meet again and to depart more.

Uncle Jide it’s so sad to know i never got to meet you in person after hearing such amazing things about you. We love you but God loves you more. Rest In Peace

Babajide Olowolagba, rest in peace

When we lose someone we love we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.Jide olowolagba the most silent dude within us. We spent 4 years in a room together due to the love we shared... Am speechless being the chairman of those room from enijoku....fagunwa and Manama... May you rest in perfect peace.... Adesoji Benjamin .iyaomolere
