A truly great man has passed on. Reading about his achievements and life and times really made me proud of being a part of this great family. He lived an impactful life, the world has indeed lost a rare gem.

May the noble soul of our great Father rest in perfect peace.

I am at a loss for words. I have lost my father once again. The father who mentored me and gave my life a meaning. The one who always inspire confidence in me at any point in time. My daddy, I will miss you so much. I had hoped I'd see you once again for our usual inspirational and soul to soul talks when we laugh heartily together but this was not the will of God. Thank you daddy, I appreciate your contributions in making me who I am today. May the Lord rest your gentle soul. I miss you, but weeping cannot bring you back. Sleep on and sleep well. Your daughter, Iyabode Soyemi.
