Olujimi,Onipede, Omolola Ogunleye,
It would have been your 45th birthday today.
The pain of your exit remains forever.
Your aged parents are devastated and just putting up a brave face!
Your amazing children will someday soon make you proud by God's Grace.
I remember this time last year,
You were on the hospital bed after having driven yourself from the office to the hospital just a day before, You were cheerful while speaking with your nephew on a WhatsApp video call, telling the nurse to also say hello.

You gave your ALL amazing little brother, one every parent, sister, brother, child or Godly woman would ever dream of.
Your bantars and jokes even with a straight face while others are rolling with laughter, your poise, carriage...the way you glide...

Happy 45th posthumous birthday baby Brother mi.
Continue to Rest in the Lord, AMEN.

I screamed and didn't believe the news for days cause it was just an extremely rude shock! After that, all I could say was "It is well"! May the Lord grant family and friends the fortitude to bear this loss. Rest in peace by Big Brother Jimmy, we love you but God loves you more.

To live in the hearts of those that loves you is not to die Olujimi, Your sudden demise was a rude shock to me but nevertheless, I believe it was your time. From all indications, You lived an impactful life , you brought joy, happiness and laughter to all who met you....and this is how I want to remember you. May the good lord carry your sister, my sweet friend flaky and mum and dad at this difficult time. May Jehovah comfort and surround your wife and children with uncommon grace to carry on and all that mourns your transition. May the lord grant you eternal rest in his bossom till we meet again on the resurrection morning . I celebrate the life you lived my dearest aburo...Rest in perfect peace!

Wow Jimmyjatt! Words cannot even begin to describe the hurt and pains we all feel at this time. I'm so grateful for the life you lived, more importantly, the deep history and memories we shared growing up together on Adenuga Street Kongi and the rest of the crew in Bodija. Oh the good Ole days.......! Wish we could have more time together. Fair winds and following seas, my brother and Friend. Rest Easy my man!

Vividly, I can remember how as a kid, myself and my siblings would cajole and bribe our parents just so we can spend holidays with you. It was so much fun to be around you, you radiate so much life and essence. Your vibes were tight and you stayed above all current situations like you were double your age.

Little wonder how I grew up learning a lot from you...how to drive, how to cook fantastic dishes (most people tot I got the skills from my sisters), my first fishing experience (especially the ceremonious part of gathering earthworms for your sinker) and many more adventurous feat that this page can't contain.

"Dada o le ja, sugbon o l'egbon."
Can I ever forget how your presence and prompt intervention saved me from troubles during my first campus experience in OgunPoly? And how you got into the bad books of the "school prefects" then because you were protecting your kid brother. But on a lighter note, whose clout in this world can resist the power of your skillful tongue?

From you, I learnt that one filled with wisdom is also one gifted with an attribute of a prophet...your words are golden, your jokes are medicinal while our little fights were like nightmares. Yet, none can substitute a knowing smile and look from you on a sunny day.

At this moment, my succour is in the sweet moments we shared (and I will always cherish them) your encouraging words, and your beautiful soul that is resting in God's bosom.

So long my dear brother, you will be forever missed.

A hearty smile, rib cracking jokes and rumbuctious laughter are what I remember most about you. You and bro Jide were my coolest cousins growing up. Heaven must have been needing the coolest cats to keep the laughter coming up there.

You are loved by so many. I hope you knew that. This really hit hard. Almost unbelievable. We got mom, dad, the kids and Sis too. Don't worry.

Till we meet to part no more.......

My dear Aburo, you were like another younger brother to me. I remember the countless hours we spent talking about all sorts of stuff. Your older brother was a friend but we became closer than I had ever been to Jide after his passing. You were a good friend and aburo for so many years in my life. You will always be fondly remembered by me, your good spirit, friendly character and good heart remain forever in our memories. Rest well my brother.

Jimi kanyata, a friend, brother and my adviser.
Unlike most egbons your opinion is just what it is, you never saw me as younger, you were always available to listen and share your experiences, you made a good mentor and everything was funny.

Very respectful and humble, I remember you know everyone that grew up in bodija and addressed them as "my egbon" you will be really missed; but if the holy books are true, then I know your good and cheerful soul has gone to a better place.

Fondly remembered.

Hmmmm,was never prepared for this rude shock but in all we thank God for the beautiful and impactful life you lived. I cant tell you the joy you brought to my soul whenever we met especially the way you crack up my ribs and even attempt to carry me despite my weight.
You always brighten up the atmosphere with your huge sense of humour and oh! You had a large heart!
To say I will miss you is an understatement but keep resting till we meet to part no more.

What a shock when I heard the news that you left without saying goodbye, so hard to believe you are gone jinmi, still with you in December when you are trying to help me market my birds to UBA... hmm! You lived a very short but meaningful life, will remember you always for the time we were together when you are here, my heart is heavy but who are we to query God, He giveth and taketh, may your soul rest in peace.

Jimikonko,you know how I can gist for hours and hours non-stop,but for this,for this,words fail me.I still can't wrap my head around this.How?Jimi ke,ko gbodo jebe.I can recall the last time we saw,how we talked for over an hour,right there in front of your house,covid prevented us from seeing each other on our way to our different churches early on Sundays and it was comforting for me to know you were there,even if we didn't get to see all the time,when i drove pass your house.
Your sudden demise came to me as a rude shock, Jimi,but Jesus knows best.Ore mi,the distinguished gentleman,my schoolmate in MGSBI,my former colleague in UBA,my friend,sun re o,you will surely be missed.May the good Jesus comfort your family and give them solace and may He keep you in the sweetness of His everlasting bosom.Rest in peace and power Jimikonko-Yewande Adenuga-Okusanya

Jimmy, paddy mi, I still don't know how to deal with your death, it's not even sinking, I carry on strongly on the outside but the truth is, on the inside I'm truly shattered.........we still saw the Thursday before your birthday, we were supposed to see on your birthday, if only I had known that would be my last time of seeing you..............Jimmy, we don tey o, we had history, we had memories, not in my wildest imagination did I think all these would stop midway, Thought we had at least 50 more years but God knows best and we can't question Him. Jimmy, you were a kind soul and you had a loving heart. You were one of the few steady relationships I kept over the years.
Now who would I "torment", aburo mi (as you fondly called me"). Sincerely, this is too much for me to bear......
Rest on eternally, beautiful soul........

Oluwafeyijimi,
You came and brightened our lives from the outset till you breathed your last.
I'll forever cherish the amazing moments we shared.
Your last WhatsApp chat with me...'A big thank you from the heart, I love you all'.... the way you continuously stroked my hand even while on the hospital bed ...your words to your children and nephews despite everything you were going through.. 
My heart is ripped in pieces but I am comforted by the fact that you are resting in the bosom of the Lord.

I Love you my baby and little brother,
Jimco, Rest in the Lord.

Hmmm.... Jimi. What can I say? Where do I start from? I still find it very hard to believe that you've gone. I still called you on the 26th of feb to wish you a happy birthday and the following Tuesday, you left without a goodbye. I can't blame or query God but in everything, I will continue to give him thanks. I take comfort in knowing you've gone to rest peacefully at the bosom of the Almighty. Sleep on Jimi. God will comfort those you left behind

Rest in peace & power Olujimi Ogunleye, my very own Jimkokolofe, my childhood friend of life, neighbor and brother from Kongi Layout, Bodija, Ibadan. We grew up together, ate lots of candies together, played soccer together in front of your dad's garage, went fishing together, climbed the mango trees together, rolled old tires together, dug the sand for "kúlúso" together, celebrated birthdays together, raised dogs and chickens together, planted flowers together, worked at MTN together, had our petty fights together, etc. We had such a phenomenal & fun-filled childhood together! Lord have mercy on us all & grant you eternal rest in His bosom.
