My Egbon, a man of wisdom and character. The reality of your departure from this side of existence is something I'm still trying to cope with. Each time I remember you, your words, and think about the last time we prayed together, I call your name "Brother Tobi" in disbelief that you're gone. My comfort is in the fact that you are resting in the Lord and you're with the Saints in heaven. Thank you for your positive impact on me. You're forever remembered. Rest in peace Mr. Lala.

Oh!!! What a day!
Oh!!! What a moment!
Oh!!! What a second my good friend, a brother dropped the struggles of this sinful world to rest in ETERNITY where there is no pain & no struggle.

The last time we talked, we promised to see very soon but you left before I could even visit the country. Your words of encouragement took me this far and I can never forget your paths in my family. You are a brother I never had. Thank you for every moment we share together, you will remain fresh in my memories.

It's really hard for me to say goodbye.
  WHAT A TIME!!!!

I couldn't hold my tears , as I read your sister's tribute and others.
Brother Tobi was a very lovely person, devoted and always very cheerful. I had always admired the bond between you and your lovely wife, sister Oreofe at every church service on Sundays. What a blessed family! We are consoled in the fact that you are in a better place and you are resting with your maker at His bossom. You will forever remain in our hearts. The good Lord will abide forever with your family and love ones. He will strengthen and comforts them and shield them from every evil in Jesus name. Rest on our beloved brother Tobiloba Lala!!!

Still finding it hard to get over the shock... hoping to wake up one day and realise it was just a dream. Tobi was a light in his generation... He lit up so many lives... including mine. He was like a big brother. With him, there was no dull moment... no matter how he felt. While we were neighbours, there were times he would scold me... like his own little sister. He will later pull my cheeks and make me smile again. Tobi was a worshipper, a dancer, prayer warrior... He gave his all to God. I respect him so much. He was a goal-getter... A business man to the core... despite any challenges he faced. He was an icon indeed... A great one at that. Hubby and I will surely miss him. God knows what is best for us all. I'm sure Tobi is rejoicing in God's presence at the moment. We will surely hook up again in heaven someday Biggie!

Hmmm... I have been running away from writing... My heart sank when the message dropped on my phone last week Friday I had to compose myself all because I was on the road, alas I remembered the last glimpse of your face was at my wedding. I have had so much of your thoughts to the extent of seeing you smile even in my dream... I choose not to use past tense for you O'Lala.... Tobi Lala. The only time I came to PPP Lab and didn't meet you was when you were on leave what happens now?
Well I choose to pray for your wife, kids and family that the good Lord will uphold, comfort and console and keep the smiles glowing. Nobody to shout 'Akay' in that Lab. Always smiling, no dull moment, never seen you bone your face before.
All is indeed well.... O'Lala... Good night brother... Good night boss...

Let's all live our lives in the consciousness of our maker.
September 25, 2019
September 25, 2019
Hmmm.... U were good to my late mum not knowing she was my mum....u helped a lot in PPP despite not knowing them. This is so painful but your good deeds will continue to follow the family left behind...rest on Tobi

TobiLala mi, Lala DabigOne, Dabiggone, my Lalacious! U are a Legend!
Your departure is nothing near expected even while you were a little bit under the weather, I was looking forward to seeing u back to the lab. After I typed that long message to you on Tuesday 17th you replied with Amen, halleluyah! The heavenly language! Brother, I'm going to miss you, miss u a lot! Your outstanding intellectual contributions to laboratory medicine and especially PPP Lab UCH till you left, even on your sick bed you were still thinking how work schedules could be less stressful for others. You were so intelligent, updated, so collected, so endowed, so humorous, so friendly, so gentle, so simple, so truthful,so gracious, we are going to miss u dearly, miss you a lot!
Thank you for being a blessing to me and my family. From the beginning of PPP Lab, everyone in my house knows Mr Lala, even when they have never met u! I remember i told u so while we were doing documentation together few weeks ago! My children will say tell Mr Lala to give us the latest now! U were just always there! My phone was giving me some hitch and there u say "e mu wa', let me see what the prob is, and then no more probs! U wore me your Bluetooth, put it in my ears, so that I can feel the latest hit of Tope Alabi that day.U gave me many songs and educative documents. U lived your life to the full i believe, always wanting to render help and see others better, you asked me about my godly given assignment, you proclaimed Jesus Christ the son, u are a servant of God and you are in His Glory place. You actially paid off for all the inputs and the storyline at the background, your growing up! While you survived them all, you became a fragrance that reached us All! I will miss u, i will really miss you! And then you departed in a day that formed the fulcrum;19/9/19. Till we meet and part no more! Goodnight Tobi!....Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thine victory!

Oluwatobiloba, you were a friend I will forever remember. You were so dear to my heart. Your concern, genuine love and support will forever be cherished. I know you are resting in a better place where there is no pain. Your legacies will forever be remembered. Rest on my brother.

What can I say? Where should I start from? Is it your ever radiant and smiley face or your bumbling character? You would always call out to anyone you see, despite the years we left secondary school, when I say you like 10years after leaving secondary school, you were very friendly.
Who are we to question our maker? In all things we only need to say “thank you Jesus “ for a life like yours we say “thank you Jesus “ for your kids and wife that I know that Heavenly Father will stay with and they will fulfil their destiny on earth, I say “thank you Jesus “, continue to rest in the bosom of your maker.
When we get to our bus-stop we will all emerge, life is but a market.

To Biggie Dodo,
You were a tender, loving passionate younger brother. You were very teachable and quick to take correction when we stayed together in U.I.

When I gave you the nickname of Biggie, it was in faith, but surprisingly the name stuck and you wax strong and manifest in all dimensions.

You came you saw, you persevered. I cannot forget your gentle touch in my moment when I was posted to PH for your service, you were just there by my side, with your calm face and smile that all would be well. Also, you were right there by my side during my wedding. Your face I will never forget that I had to go back to facebook with heavy eyes checking your pictures knowing that we will not see on this side again.

Though it was a short stay on this planet earth, our consolation is you followed your passion and touched humanity even in your frailty. You left your footprints on the sands of time. You gave tirelessly even when excuses abound for you not to do so. You were always caring and willing to help.

My Biggie Dodo, you have fought the good fight of fight, you have kept the faith and you have finished your race. Sleep on till we meet again on the glorious side and sing death where is thy sting.

Good night Biggie Dodo, your legacies live on.

I can't forget the support u gave me during d hypertension guideline development, am so hurt that I didn't give u d feedback of that meeting before u passed on, I never knew u will leave so soon.

In dis short time, u had been a support for me in my new duty desk. You were a peace keeper, trying to ensure we live in peace in the MLS family. Thanks for all help rendered to my people anytime they come to d Laboratory.
Oh, Tobi when u called me two days to your death, I never knew u were saying goodbye, i would have spoken more with u.

God is mysterious indeed., to have inserted such a marvellous mega personality into the little frame of your body. It is so sad for me that just as I was coming to know you more you are snatched away from us. I hope to see you again at the feet of the Lord. Perhaps then, I shall know why this had to happen. But now rest in the Bossom of the Lord. Adieu, Little Tobi!

Your birthday three years ago is still fresh in my memory! Doing life with you was something I was spoilt with, like a snail and its shell, we're everywhere together, I miss every bit of it. It's not the same at all since you left o! ...But for God's grace!!!
I know you're enjoying yourself up there, I also know you're serving in one way or the other cos that's your character: service and dishing out your best. I miss you, the Ts miss you greatly, from their innocent hearts, different prayers have been said and most common is " God please send daddy back". Only God can fill that void, hmmm. Rest on my Beloved...
