I miss you everyday my brother ❣️

Today, i remember you... it is a good day

I miss you everyday my love.
"Today is a good day " I have never stopped posting that quote everyday since you left.
I love you always.

I remember you constantly...especially when your encouragements; "Today, is going to be a Good Day." Always brightens up my day. You still live on...

Dear Bro, I still miss you!!!!!

Still in our hearts...miss you man!

Sad to learn about your demise Meka. Last time I heard was when Pastor Sola Adesoye mentioned you were in need of support for treatment in India.

I met you for the first time at Silver bird galleria in Abuja after I had won a price at your morning show with Douglas. You were a warm and receptive fellow. You asked me to record a thank you and shout out to listeners of the show.

Rest well and may God console the hearts of your family members.

Happy 41st birthday my darling bro. I miss you so much! Your memory is forever in my heart!

I miss your great sense of humor and authentic conversations....your memory will always warm our hearts.....

It's a year today...I remember everything so vividly like it just happened. The reality now is you travelled to a place of no return where there are no phone calls but your memory to keep in our hearts forever. There has been no day that passed with your thoughts consciously or unconsciously running through my mind. Missing you is not even expressive enough. Love you and always in my heart for ever dear.

Rest in peace Meka, you are missed.

Meka! Its hard to remember you are gone to be with the Lord. Rest on my brother, rest on. Thank you for all the times you selflessly made inputs in my various projects and media plans. Thank you for being you- a rare type dependable friend and ally. I miss you plenty.

Daddy jay, like I, usually call him. Within a very short time, I got to know you, I have learned so much. A few minutes of conversation with you changed my perspective of life.

You were a good neighbor and a good human being too. Your love for kids is out of this world. How you tolerate them and always want them around.
I am sure you are in a better place right now. May God almighty forgive all your shortcomings and grant you eternal rest.

My brother, truly you made a mark in my life! I miss you dearly

Bros bros, like joke, like joke its gradually dawning on me that you are gone. But you can never be forgotten. I ask the Lord to comfort your family, cos they miss you so much. We all miss you bro.
Till we meet to part no more in the presence of the Lord.

Meka Akerejola! You've been a wonderful fellow, gentle and easy going, right from our days in CSSJ and ABU. May God be pleased with you. Rest on my brother!

Meka was my boss and teacher. He was the producer of Soccer a mega show in 2008/2009 a sports reality programme on NTA Back then, as a producer Meka was also Team leader of the 7-member R&D Team which I was a member...We worked very closely on the weekly reality show...cos of this we share so much together, travel, eat, watch movies, and many things together....I learnt a lot from him in my career as a media personality/Journalist. His attention to details and perfection is second to none...his sense of humour brightenS a weak soul...can't forget the days we play PES together @Zone 6...days of visiting Northern fries and our usual poundy yam joint behind NCC...Meka's memories can NEVER be forgotten....Meka was A brother, friend, coach, teacher and family...miss u Meka

I knew you back in school during the days of ABU fm admired your work. It's hard to believe you are no more. May your soul rest in peace.

It’s taken me weeks to wrap my mind around your passing. Everyday, I feel a shiver down my arms and it’s a reminder that you are gone. The only other time I have felt this way was when daddy passed. Meka, you are my brother first, even though we are supposed to be 3rd cousins. My siblings talk about your mom in present and past tense now I know how they feel. What is very crazy about our relationship is that we didn’t talk or see each other often but when we did it was like no time ever passed. As I think of your legacy, I think of the lives you’ve touch in word and deed. I think of your smile, your candor, your spirit, your tenacity and your always can do attitude. Even when you weak, you made someone smile. You loved completely. Your legacy will continue to live in precious little boy who gets to hear about his amazing dad from your best friend and love of your life,Christy. My incredible cousins, your sisters, the formidable and remarkable women, their mother’s daughters Osebi, Itie and Iyah will carrying on that same legacy of love, tenacity and strength. Oh Meka, I wish you could see them but I already know you are so proud of them. Rest in Heaven my dear cousin! Love you so much!

The last time we spoke (sometime after your initial transplant), you mentioned living on borrowed time and we ended the conversation on a positive note. Tonight you were in my thoughts only for an internet search to tell of your demise. Mekadon! We last saw more than 10 years ago but memories of your jovial self are etched on my mind.

Rest on bro, rest on...

Brotherly! As I would normally call you, I think about you everyday and dream about you almost night, I still peep through the window to see if it's your car that's about to be packed outside then hubby would remind me that you're no longer here with us. I miss you as much as I miss my late parents, I miss your words of wisdom, jokes, calls... I miss the last time I missed your calls and wish I could get another missed call from you, I miss our pounded yam date, you promised you'd pound yam for me when you return from India... I miss those tiny jokes like 'fatiblaky aka followers of Fatoyinbo' I miss you asking me how a church girl like me knows how to say 'yes' to man, I miss listening to your life's experiences. But I'm glad you're resting with God, resting from pain which you were never bothered about. Love you brotherly, Prince Meka Akerejola. From IYANU

Meka!!!

As I try to pen down this tribute all I find myself doing is smile. Yes smile! Meka you made us all smile. I cant forget when you and Angela arranged a surprise birthday interview for me on radio live! Gosh! I still remember how special it made me feel. I cant forget how you hugged me and encouraged me when I dropped my first single 'Beautiful'. You said in these exact words...'cant believe you waxed a record!!'and I blushed.

You see my memory of you is how you encouraged, inspired and supported me along the path of destiny and how you asked me some very challenging questions. Tough questions on air and on one on one occasions. I am thankful. You were such a Beautiful soul...Such a gift!!!

I know you are with the Father...I know...I know

Thank you for giving to the Lord... Thank you

See you at sun rise!!!

I met Mekadon in 2017 at a Media Practitioners Workshop and we just clicked immediately and became friends. I became regular guest on his Morning Drive Show. He was such a warm and hospitable dude. He would be missed greatly. Rest on Meka!

Mekadon,

Ah! I can’t believe am typing this about you because you are no more, but am happy because you are heaven’s gain. You were a good guy and am sure the heavens would be glad to have you and we are consoled. I remember our time in Zaria (ABUFM), our time here in abuja and how you never forget my birthday. I am most grateful brother. May you soul and the souls of all the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen

Meka, though your sojourn on earth was cut short, you were able to make an impact on people around you even me. News of your passing brought tears to my eyes and i wiped it knowing for believer, you only passed on to glory. No more pains, no more stress. Continue to bask in the presence of God. Meka, real name, no gimmicks, lover of pounded yam, professional colleague and friend, wonderful father and lovely husband to your wife.. Continue to rest in the bossom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen!!

Meka,
Real Name No Gimmicks. YOU were a BLESSING. Lived a life worthy of emulation. One of the very few professionals who upheld the dignity of radio broadcasting. Gave me my first rodeo on the console. Instilled confidence in me for graphic design.

A loving and encouraging teacher, a true definition of a friend. For my career, you come right after Dan Foster, who is gone too... You both would make wonderful hosts up there✝️️️✝️.

It's good to know we'll meet again in God's time. Praise the Lord God for you Meka, you loved and you are loved and sorely missed.
MekaDon- Real Name No Gimmicks lives on!!!✝️️️✝️

You were such am amazing person , the few times I had conversation with you, your advice as an upcoming journalist then really helped me to get where I am today.. I can't believe you are gone, but God has the final say on us. Rest on Bros Meka as do call you. Amen.

The Meks,

Thank you for being such a shining light and positive example. I miss your warmth, wit, encouragement, the deep conversations and those hugs!

Yours was truly a life of impact that reminds me that It is not how long we live but how well. See you in the morning!

You were an amazing person and I'll forever cherish our friendship Meka! I know you're resting with the Lord.

Hello Meka, it grieves my heart deeply knowing fully well you are no more with us... Your memories linger on my mind most especially, the few moments before your demise. I still remember when we visited you at home. How you Sat down to even educate us more about your illness and all the medical processes you were undergoing. Indeed that day I left home more encouraged and hopeful and I trusted God even more that you were coming out of this shortly. But, it has pleased the maker and the giver of Life to call you home. who are we to question why Lord? You have joined the cloud of witnesses... who are cheering and watching over us that we don't miss the mark..
Your memory is forever blessed!
Goodnight brother! Till we meet on the resurrection morning at the feet of our Master Jesus, our Lord and King.

I met Meka during my stint at Silverbird. He was a stickler for discipline and professionalism. I particularly remember our conversations whenever he dropped me off after work. It was really heartbreaking when I got the news of his demise. Meka was one of the good guys. The world has lost a gem. Rest on Meka

Everyday since you left, Everyday I wake up and think about you, and think it’s a dream and it’s not real. Sad truth is that it is.
We spoke on the night of 18th and you told me to help you do some stuff and I was to get back to you in the morning and instead it was the news of you leaving us we got in the morning of 19th, I wish you had more time with us here on earth but God knows best.

Aboy ( your nickname at home), your aSkye (As you call me) misses you bad. In another Life I still pray God makes you my Brother. I pray God heals this deep wound of your demise because you are irreplaceable.

Rest on my brother, Love you now and always my Angel

Every body's big brother !! Life of the party!! Teacher !! King of pranks !! You wore it all so well...with so much grace .. the memories of our small team at soccer mega show will never be forgotten . Our encounters after soccer mega show will also never be forgotten . Hearing your voice on radio and telling any one who cared to listen that I knew you will also never be forgotten .thank you Meka .. Rest easy. Love, peace and light .

Thank you for being awesome you. We miss you dearly.....See you in the morning #ThaDon

Hey bro, i know you are in a better place. May the good Lord keep you in his bosom.
Rest on bro

Mekadon,

The news of your death came as a big blow, we lost a rare gem and a happy soul. Thoughts of all we did and shared brings tears to my eyes but I take solace with the fact that you lived a life worthy of emulating.
Indeed you were a shinning example to all who knew you.

You will be greatly missed by all. Continue to rest in peace Mekadon...

Love always,
Mikeh u n t as you fondly called me. Rest on bro...

Meka don... Mr. P.D.D! Who would I taunt with videos of epic meals when I prepare them and get your hilarious replies and videos. When I want to bounce an idea it is you I reach out to... I just always marvel how you’re able to wear a poker face even when I’m confidently speaking Rubbish... Then you hail me “Ushede’s Daughter” lol! Oh my! Yet your corrections are delivered in most humble of ways and are always valid... Kai! Meka I miss you!
Rest on...

Bros Meka, I'm broken....I still think about you and can't believe you are now 'past tense'. I'm truly and deeply broken bros!!!!

I'm glad you knew how much I loved and cared about you. You were the "life of the party" at any of our family gatherings. You were just that cool big bro that everybody wanted to be around.

Remember Eminefites in December those days!!!! You made everyone around happy. You were just IT. Gosh bro...Its still as a dream to me.

I had the privilege to speak to you circa three weeks before your demise and I'm glad I did. Little did I know it would be our last.

I remember receiving a video call on WhatsApp that faithful day and I thought "who's this strange number calling me on video call". I missed your call and later called only to find out it was you from India. What a joy!!!!! We talked and gisted. I asked you how you were.....and you said you were alright in India. I told you how India was good for you as you were looking fresh and your Akerejola nose (our signature) was getting bigger. You joked and said I must be silly.

The last word you said to me will stick forever. You told me....."Ifunfun, I love you. And I said I love you too bros. That's All!!!! I love you Mekadon. I love you Prince. I'm glad I told you that before your demise. Goodbye to a place where there is no longer pain.

I had such high hopes...
I really couldn't come up with the right words because this wasnt the plan...I didnt have the opportunity to have known him for long, but barely a year of interactions, jokes, meet ups and laughter, made me see how amazing his heart was...
Bros, this wasnt the plan oo, I had such high hopes...but God is the all knowing!
Rest on bros!

I still remember that first day we had that conversation, your thoughts are still with me, what we spoke about. I didn't know you would be gone this soon, now I understand what you had said about your son and why him. Rest well Meka, Itegre.

Hi bro!

It all seems so unreal. We never thought we would be doing this for you, not now.
You had dreams, ideas, lots of it. You made plans like you were going to be here for a long time but here we are.

It all seems so unreal that you are gone. I remember you walking through the "travelers only" door at the airport because you were late and all our mushy hugs and good-byes were only going to delay you further. I guess if you knew that was going to be the last time you would touch and feel us, you wouldn't mind missing the flight.

It all seems so unreal. We would make jest of you that the way you slept looked like you were dead but now seeing pictures of your lifeless body looks like you are just sleeping. What an irony.

It all seems so unreal because you would very often try to scare us by sneaking up on us when we were not looking or hide in corners to jump on us. Now, I wonder if you are trying to scare us now. I wish you would jump out of hiding and tell us this is all a big prank.

It all seems so unreal... But it is real. It is true.

It is true that you have left us to continue the race. Your last lap was a beautiful one because in your last years you came to embrace Christ, the true God. Your curiosity led you to dig deeper and have a personal relationship with God. It was so strong to the extent your mantra became 'I do what I do because of God', not as a cliche expression but from the sincerity of your heart.

It is true we have testimonies that you touched more lives in your last days than the rest of your life. Your generous heart so big that you could deprive yourself to see others smile. Well, except for your plate of pounded yam (Pididdy as you like to call it) and efo riro.

It is true you loved your Pididdy and you would say that maybe the streets of gold in heaven was actually made of Pounded yam and the four rivers were made of different delicious soups. I guess you have discovered the truth about that by now. That and other questions about God, humanity, the universe, any and everything else you wanted to know.

It is true we love you and nothing can change that. I bope we gave you your roses while you could still smell them. We do miss you and not a day passes that we don't think of you or remember you. But this...

This is certainly true, Meka. God loves you best and he has taken you to be with him forever.

See you later bro!

Hey Meka, Yaroite here. I confess that even fond memories of you make me tear up. However, I will always have you in my heart. You taught me so much and were the big brother I didn't know I needed. Although life took us to different paths, my heart was always with you. I cherish the memories of brainstorming ideas, writing scripts, Soccer Mega Show and all of it. Just everything was worth it because you were right there, the bond that held the team together. Thank you for who you are to me and to my family. I miss you. Rest in peace.

God Bless you my dear friend, and may your soul find eternal rest in the arms of God. You made such an impact in my life that I can not even start to recount. There are very few people in my life that I can describe as friends so it deeply hurts that I have lost you - my dearest buddy. You were kind, thoughtful and passionate. Not many people will meet you and not smile. Meka, you are truly a Gem. I pray that God continues to console your wife, son, sisters and the entire family. Till we meet again, rest in peace, my dear friend. Adieu.

Tribute to Meka Akerejola

I met Meka Akerejola in the course of my duty as the Head of Station for Silverbird Communications Abuja.
For over 9 years that I knew him, some things were constant about him. Meka was Dependable, Reliable, Trusted and on a lighter side, a Prankster.

Contrary to many crazy things guys do in the media, Meka NEVER indulged in any. He was steadfast as a Christian despite all the temptations attached to his office.

He never got a query because he knew his job and I could go to bed knowing he was in charge of programmes. Much as he had a cordial relationship with his colleagues at work, Meka never condone indiscipline, he was a stickler for thorough professionalism
I couldn’t take any new decisions in my career  creative wise without sounding Meka out. He never failed me. He would calmly listen even if I 'talk' rubbish.

The first time Meka came to my house, he found me getting ready to pound yam, Meka removed his jacket, took the Pestle and pounded yam for 5 people! I have never seen anyone who is down to earth like that in my office.

Meka pulled my ever first surprise birthday party in my office! He coordinated it, plotted with my colleagues and truly I can never forget him.

When he called me from India in February, he pranked me as usual and we talked for about 15minutes. I did remember telling him to do quick with the operation cos he needed to buy me Indian hair, not knowing I will never see him again. He left us, Meka left… The last time he came to my house, it was to tell me he wanted to resign because he relapsed, he said he knew what I went through when he did the first transplant and would not want anyone to attack me or the organisation on his account. Oh Meka was too considerate and selfless.!

If Meka opened my door, I can only smile because he brought me nothing but joy and that is the only way I want to remember him. Smile, Joy and Trust
You will be sorely missed. As I bid you farewell on behalf of my family and the entire Management and Staff of Silverbird Communications Limited, I pray that the Almighty keep your family and us till we meet at Jesus Feet.

OluwaMeka Gbodorogun as I fondly call you rest in peace my Brother and friend. Rest on…

I never knew that I would be doing this tribute to you at this stage of my life.

Your time on earth was short, but I am grateful to God that you died knowing Christ as your Lord and Personal saviour. I am glad that in the 8/9years of the pain of the Chronic Kidney Failure you suffered, you touched lives positively through your radio program and others you met via other circumstances. I am glad to hear the testimonies from your friends and fans on how your life and faith in God changed theirs.
We loved you then, we love you now and we would love and miss you forever till we meet at Christs' feet someday.

Your sisters love you and are glad you were our brother. In the next life, we would be glad to have you as a brother again.

Rest in Peace my sweet, loving, caring, fun to be with brother. Rest in peace Prince Mekadon Akerejola. You'll forever be missed. Say hi to Mum and Dad. ♥️❤️

As you'll always say "TODAY IS A GOOD DAY"

Love always ~ Gozigoz

Your light shines brightly even In the darkness of this world. You were a loving husband, doting father and brother. Lover of God, peacemaker, smiling even in the midst of all the troubles. Words cannot truly express how sorely you are missed. My only consolation is that I will see you on the resurrection morning because you lived a good life. It is not goodbye, it is goodnight! Love, Taffy,
