.........may his soul rest in perfect peace, amen.
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Oladipo Oniwinde, 36, born on April 20, 1969 and passed away on October 22, 2005. Ten years ago, Bro. Dipo was snatched from us at the early age of 36, on the ill-fated Bellview Flight going from Lagos to Abuja. Our consolation as a family is that he was with his soulmate, Nkiru Oniwinde, who was also on that flight. They left behind their 3 children who were ages 6, 4 and 18months old then. We truly miss you, Rest on in Heaven Bro, until we meet to part no more. We will remember him forever.

Egbon mi, to say I miss you is an understatement. I often dream about you, and each dream seems so real, 10 years already, and it all feels like yesterday. I still remember everything about that day, and how it unravelled, and of course it brings tears to my eyes. Gosh I miss you, I miss how straightforward you were, and still very playful. I remember how you took care of me through the years, we all know our lives would have been different if you were still here. All the memories I have of you leave me smiling and I hold on to these so dearly, but more importantly, you left us your best gifts in this world. Bro Dipo, I love them soo much Bolaji, Wonuola and Laolu. We all know I’m no longer the last born and that Laolu has taken over….lol. We have tried, especially Mummy and Daddy to ensure that they don’t miss out on anything you would have provided for them. You know Mummy, the disciplinarian and the Daddy the jokester…him and Laolu act like they are mates. We will all continue to do right by them, because we see you in them…each one of them reminds me of you. We thank God that we have them to look after, to remind us of how wonderful you were as a brother, remind us of your big heart…all of these traits we see in Wonuola, the comical part of you is totally in Laolu, he is so hilarious and has a great sense of humour. Now Bolaji just looks like you, when we look at him, we are reminded of how great God is.

Olaolu, your dad, Dipo was a friend and business colleague, and I can say he would be truly proud of the young man you have grown to become. He was a gentleman and a towering light very early in life. He is fondly thought of, and I have no doubt you and your siblings will continue to bear that light.

Thank you Rev. Jaiyesimi for your ever-uplifting words.
Laolu, I am mega-proud of you! For everything you have achieved as a bright young man and baring it all as you just did.
I know your parents would be mega-proud too!
Please know that they would have wanted nothing more than to reassure you of this themselves, but hear, believe and know this in the depths of your heart to be the all unconditional love that it is and always would be.
As you know bro, I choose to remember your birthday than the other dark day.
I hope you had an awesome, heavenly 55th birthday bro, I love and miss you daily xx

Dipo when I travelled to Nigeria in April 2006 for the funeral of my father I do remember your parents telling me that on Otober 22nd 2005 You and Nkiru your dear wife had been persuaded to stay in Lagos for the night but you both insisted that you needed to travel back soonest to be with your children in Abuja
Olaolu you and your siblings can rest assured as your grandparents and family must have told you many times that your father Oladipo and your mother Nkiru loved you deeply and yes they will be proud of who you are but remember this even more than them God loves you and will never stop loving you. Dipo knew this from his earliest years he had received this love of God.

Dipo & Nkiru, it's almost 10 years now and it seems just like yesterday when I called your office to find out why I was not getting thru to you and Nkiru as I had an appointment with Nkiru that faithful Monday and I received the rude shock. The good ones don't last.
We worked together at PWC, You met Nkiru at PWC, I also met and married your friend and colleague Adesina in PWC, that union is blessed with 6 wonderful kids.
You are forever missed, and I always remember to say a prayer for your 3 children. May they fulfil their destiny. May God continue to watch over them.

I have so many great memories of my brother, like how I was always the first to meet all his girlfriends including Aunty Nky or like how he always gave me money every time I needed it, or how he stopped me from hugging him when he came home from UniPort Harcourt with chicken pox (he yelled STOP from a distance as I ran towards him), but the memory I’m gonna write about happened when I was in JS1 in 1993. I had come home from FGGC Sagamu for an eye exam, and my mum took me to the opticians at Lapal House in Lagos Island, it was while I was at the opticians that a riot broke out in Lagos Island. My Brother, Zeze, had taken the car out after he dropped my mum and I, but he could not come back to pick us because of the riot. Infact, there were no taxis or public transport anywhere, so my mum and I walked over to where Bro Dipo was working at Tinubu. He was then at Pricewaterhouse but was auditing somewhere on the Island, so we went over to join him there. Anyway, we found out that the office he was working from was closing because of the riot so we could all go home together. My mum, my brother and I set off from Lagos Island looking for a bus to get us home because we were going all the way to Agbara Estate. I remember so well that we walked all the way from Lagos Island passing through Eko Bridge, by the time we got to National Theatre, I was tired of walking, and we had no idea where we would get any form of transportation. So guess what, Bro Dipo put me on his back and kept walking, he carried me like that all the way to Orile in his shirt and tie while my mum walked behind us. It was at Orile that we finally got a bus. Yesss, my brother was my SUPERMAN.
