You will be dearly missed, Uncle Farouk. I will always remember the fond memories of my siblings and I spending holidays with you, Aunty and my cousins in Maryland, Lagos, and how much fun we had. It’s one of the highlights of my childhood memories. Adieu my handsome uncle. Love and hugs to my cousins.

Ina lilai waina ilaehi rojiun. (From Allah we came, to Him we shall return at d appointed time.)
Its with a heavy heart that I write this tribute on behalf of my family, to a friend and brother Alhaji Farouk Oyenekan Solola who had been so since our first contact at Lintas in d 70's.
He was one of those that believe in my competence in d area of graphic arts and print production. If I had not chosen to go with some other colleagues earlier, I could have been a shareholder and director in a company he invited me.
Business dealings apart, we became family friends.
I cannot forget his show of magnanimity towards my family in 1985. We just had a baby boy and he paid us a visit to congratulate us. In that period, NEPA had refused to give us light for a while.
At that point, he offered us a generating set. This singular action strengthened our relationship to d extent that we decided to name our last son Farouk in his honour.
We have not met in a while but we related on social media.
Our sincere condolences go to his family as we pray Almighty Allah will accept him in Aljanah Fridaos and comfort those he left behind.
Adieu.

My darling Uncle! I did not think we would be here this soon. You were always so vivacious and so warm and so loving that I suppose I just took your being around for granted. I have so many memories of you growing up and living withyou. I will cherish the time that we had together and those days you introduced me to the world of Telenovela (*second chance). The amazing memories that you have left behind. I missed the days when I was staying with you that breakfast was alreadybeforewe all woke up.The Bible says in everything give thanks, and I am indeed full of thanksgiving for the privilege of having had you in my life. You are INIMITABLE and IRREPLACEABLE. I love you but God loves you more and I know that he has you resting comfortably in his everlasting arms. Rest Well Uncle. Rest in Perfect Peace.

A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF US: FAROUK SOLOLA
April 28, 2021
It
is with heavy hearts that we have to put this piece together. Farouk, aka
Farukee, was admitted into Ibadan Grammar School – IGS, in January 1959, like
all of us. We were together as mates all our Secondary School days, as well as
jolly friends. By December, 1963, after the School Certificate Examination, we
parted ways and some stayed on for their Higher School Certificate – HSC
Course, in our Alma – Mater.
He was diligent, obedient and brilliant student. He was trustworthy and loved by many. He was in Olubi House, and resided in “Extension Block”. He was a boxing enthusiast, along with the likes of – Adebola Johnson, alias Dodo, Olumeko, Wole Adeyemi and others. They organized the school’s Boxing Club in which Snr. Taiwo, alias Fatai Paso was the Chairman. He also served as a Boxing Referee. He was also a good footballer. He kept for his House and eventually became the school’s goalkeeper in 1965, in his HSC Class.
After completing our various disciplines and studies, and now adults, we came together again in Lagos to establish the Golden Jubilee Set Old Boys Association of IGS. Farouk took over the Secretariat later, and managed the class-set for several years. He did a fantastic job! We all appreciated him.
He served the class-set till his death. At the main body of the school’s association, Lagos Branch, Farouk did his best.
We all love you, but Allah loves you best.
Sleep in His bosom.
Adieu!
