I was thinking about you this morning on your birthday. In 2006 when I visited you in Ondo you served me pounded yam and efo riro (vegetable soup) with my favorite eja agbabu and goat meat almost every day. I really enjoyed every meal immensely! I always enjoyed visiting with you because of the calmness, serenity and peacefulness that surrounded you in Odo Ayo and your house. I experienced your kindness first hand all the time. You were a woman of Valor. In 2007 your grandchildren experienced the same kindness when we all Omoiyeiwas assembled  in Odo Ayo. You left a great legacy for us all. You have eight great grandchildren now. Your last great grandchild was named Mofeade after you. I pray that she grows up with a character such as yours. Happy posthumous Birthday Mummy Mercy Mofeade Ademodi! You would have been 94 years old. Mummy, May your soul continue to Rest In Peace! Amen. 

Mrs. Mercy Mofeade Ademodi - Celebration of Life! Mrs. Mercy Mofeade Ademodi a.k.a. Iye Iwa, Mummy or Grandma June 20, 1928 - June 15, 2019 My mother-in-love, Mrs. Mercy Mofeade Ademodi, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, went to be with the Lord Almighty on Saturday June 15, 2019. She was a Woman of Valor and a Prayer Warrior. Ever since I met her in 1977 for the first time she had been a mother to me. She had been and will continue to be a blessing in my life. She was a great encourager and loved her family passionately. Mummy, the last words you said to me couple of weeks ago was 'It is well' and 'I love you too.' I will forever miss your beautiful smile and your radian voice. You were one of a kind like my own mother and your ability to forgive was unparalled. Your gentle beautiful soul forgave so many people that did not deserve to be forgiven. You lived your name Mercy because you had mercy on those that did not deserve it. Your kindness to people was also unparalled. You were so kind to so many people that turned their backs on you and yet you remained kind to them. You are one of a kind, you were very loyal to all your children and extended families. Mummy, as an Ondo royal princess, you bestowed upon me several years ago the title Otunba and you had called me Otunba Woka since then. I always looked forward to hearing you call me Otunba. Grandma, you were a beautiful woman of God, the ultimate prayer warrior! You had prayed and fasted for me and my family so many times, especially for your grandchildren. All your prayers for us were answered and we pray for sustenance as we move forward without you. You left a great legacy and I pray and hope that your children will pass it on to their children and the next generation. Mummy IT IS WELL and I LOVE YOU! Otunba , Segun 'O'Sheg" Oshinowo

Memories of time spent with you keep flooding. I remember in Ondo, as a very young boy, when playing in your room, you called me " Engineer to moye" (the intelligent Engineer). I grew knowing grandma to pray for each of her children and grandchildren every morning mentioning each of their names. A great teacher, the mathematics you taught me during holidays with you in Odo Ayo, helped a lot. Grandma was always concerned for your welfare, on every visit, grandma would ask "wo da ti jeun?" (have you eaten?) even at her old age,  she would ask about my academics. Adieu Grandma! Rest in the bossom of the lord Jesus Christ.

When I was a baby I used to call her aunty because that was what everybody was calling her and she will answer me. I only know her mum(Yemi Ayanna)as mama.Whenever I was flogged out of love I will report her to mama.. My mummy teaches IBO's to speak their languages fluently. Teaching and gardening were her hobbies.                                 To those who care to know, my mummy was a prayer warrior. Most of RCCG and ANGLICAN priests and pastors are her spiritual sons and daughters. She used to move mountains on her kneels. Even until her last breathe, it's always IT IS WELL..                                                                             Mummy you have left a good legacy not for us your children alone but generation unborn that there is God,who is loving and caring Father who does not leave his own unkept , the great provider , JEHOVAH is one of his names.Also in the state of his only son  ( J E S U S CHRIST) ALL kneels must BOW.The one that was and is and ever shall be whom you served with all power and might ,will ever count worth as he used to, to inherit his kingdom of life eternity with him forever and ever. AMEN.

Oh who can be like my mummy. Well I thank God for given me the privileges to pass through you into this world. Your care and concerns for us is unlimited. Your gentle smile destroyed fear anxiety and doubt children ever have. Instead it imbibe confidence and courage that even in the midst of turbulence you shall overcome. As a teacher you drilled Mathematics into my brain. I dear not miss a sum nor forget to do my home assignments ,because you will never spare the caiin. But extremely loving when I clear everything.                     You thought me to recite psalms from the age of three off head ,even then I thought it was punishment later I realized you were really empowering my for confrontation and wars.              Hmm,my mum,mother and lover of humanity,
