Hummm, Egbon mi, Oladipo Olumuyiwa Omo Alabi, the news of your demise was a rude shock for me; because I never saw it coming. We all raised our voices in prayer, our faith was strong and were optimistic for your recovery but God’s ways are not our ways. What a painful separation.
James 1:12 says blessed is the man who perseveres under trail because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. Oladipo, you have left this sinful world to rest in Heaven.
When we spoke earlier in the year, I promised to come spend quality time with you by my next visit to the states, hummm; where will I see you now?
Flood of memories overwhelmed me, I remember how you use to scold me when teaching me mathematics, your convocation was a great joy to the whole family. I remembered during my waiting years, I visited you & you insisted I must see your Pastor for prayers. You stood by me & with me as a brother should, Bro Dipo, you will forever live on in my heart.
Adipson, my darling, hard working & peace loving brother; who never sees impossibilities in any situation. “Ko si problem, ko si problem” was one of his slogans.
Your love & sacrifice for your family can’t be comprehend.
Oladipo, egbon mi oninure, indeed you have fought the good fight, you have finished your race on earth, you have kept the faith. I know our stay on earth is transient; whether we live long or not, death is sure.
Sun re o, Omo Alabi.
