This woman is a substance. A substance, not a shadow. She is an evidence. An evidence of a godly woman. She evinced good morals of what womanhood should be. She showed a model of what motherhood exemplify. I know her on campus, at ASUU meetings, Senate meetings and other fora that bring us together and the aforementioned are my summary of late Dr.(Mrs) Tosin Akintan. You'll be sorely missed but God is receiving you happily home, which is better. Rest, you deserve it. Orun má kánjú gbogbo wa lanbo.

When green grass turns brown, a season ends. It was so disheartening to hear that the Department of Religious Studies, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye,Ogun State, Nigeria has lost an Amazon, a courageous and disciplined woman. Aloha mama Akintan! Casting a retrospective view on your life and responses to my needs as one of your postgraduate students, l discovered that your fervour and love for me are unquantifiably great. Life is the greatest gift that God has given us. Death is only a bridge towards eternal life with God. My deepest condolence goes to the academic community of OOU, the immediate family and loved ones for the loss of our dearest scholar.To say goodbye to Dr (Mrs) Akintan is never easy. Pictures never carry her warmth. Memories always pierce the heart and no words can say it all! You were so special, and we will forever miss your contributions to our lives. Rest on in the bossom of your Creator dear Dr (Mrs) A.O. Akintan.

OMG! Tosin Tosin Tosin, with hot tears in my eyes, I pray may your beautiful soul rest in perfect peace and the good Lord console, comfort, strengthen and take care of your husband, children and the entire family you left behind. Mummy Osilesi

So sudden, so pathetic! When we were young, we would feign death. We did not know that it is real and inevitable. As we mature and begin to lose people close to us, we realise that it is only in Eternity we shall meet again. It is with this understanding that I painfully bid you adieu. Rest in peace ma.

The sudden death of Sis Tosin Akintan was like an electric shock which am yet to shake off. If tears could send her back to us,the drums of tears shed by thousands of mourners should have sent her back immediately before the gates of heaven were opened for her.
Then it dawned on me that we have lost a good woman of God, a true mentor, Bridge Buider and Peace Maker. A nice woman to the core. A woman of unassuming character who made friends easily because of her charisma and humility. A woman who defended the weak and the poor when the occasion demanded it and fought other people's cause when it appeared to her they were being cheated or oppressed or they could not defend themselves adequately .
It is rather unfortunate that her journey on this planet had to cut short. Her departure, much on it is a big loss to us. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
To her husband, please, accept my heart felt condolence.

Dr (Mrs) Oluwatosin Adeoti Akintan was an enigma. You cannot fully describe her because she was different thing to different people. She may appear tough but very compassionate. She can stress herself on other people’s matter. She was an organiser. We shall miss you. Adieu Dr (Mrs) OLUWATOSIN A. AKINTAN.

Mama Akintan!
The announcement of your demise came as a shock but there's nothing anyone can do to reverse the situation.
From Him we have come and onto Him we shall all return at the individual appointed time.
We Love you but the Omniscient knows the best. We will all miss you!
Adieu Mama!
Good night Dr. (Mrs) Tosin Akintan!

Death like they say is inevitable. I was devastated by hearing the news of your transition to the great beyond on the early hours of Friday 18th June, 2021. It was indeed a rude shock and very unbelievable. You were a darling and kind-hearted mother to all and sundry. We played and discussed briefly during the Provincial Congress held in May at the Cathedral and it didn't occur to us to be our last time of seeing each other. Oh death, not at this time! We are consoled that you lived your life to serving God and humanity. You'll definitely and be greatly missed. May God rest your gentle soul and grant the mourners of your demise the fortitude to bear this great loss. Adieu, a super woman. Bye for now till the resurrection morning!

Tosin was a very strong personality with intelligence, brilliance and wisdom; a committed scholar and intellectual, a phenomenon of inspiration of hard work and lover of humanity.
My condolences to her family, relations, friends, colleagues and the entire community of Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago-Iwoye.
May her gentle soul rest peacefully with her ancestors and Creator.
Sun re o, Tosin.

Dr Mrs Tosin Akintan, a very loving, jovial and diligent woman of great substance. Your death is a shocking blow and indeed a dream to all of us. We saw last at the Provincial Congress in May. We played and discussed a lot not knowing you were bidding us farewell. I could remember you sent me pairs of nescafe milk. You were so active, dynamic and energetic. You were so supportive and appealing. You were never tired of reaching out to people with your resources as occasion demanded. There's never a dull moment with you. You were a strong pillar of faith and a lecturer of great repute. You were so compassionate and fervent in God's vineyard. We'll surely miss you. Our solace is that you knew and died in Christ. May God accept your dearly departed soul for eternal repose and grant us the fortitude to bear this loss. "Keep on resting dear soldier of Christ". (Reverend Kehinde Ogunnaike-The African Church Holy Trinity Cathedral, Imepe, Ijebu-Ode).

My wonderful and beloved Sister Tosin Akintan!I was dumbfounded for hours when I heard about your sudden transition!The last time we saw,you were encouraging me to take heart and move forward in life because of my wife' s death in January not knowing you were about to leave us too in this sinful world!You were very humble,energetic, easygoing, amiable and considerate.You always called me"egbon mi".Haaa!Death,you did not do well.Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord till we see in eternity. I pray that may God grant the husband, children, family,Department, Faculty and the University Community the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.This loss is very great!I remember your dedication as the Sub-Dean of the Faculty. What a very hardworking woman! Haaaaaaa!Obinrin takuntakun bii okunrin ti lo,o di gboseee. I am so sad.

I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done.

I close my eyes as I wipe my tears
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories we'll never part.

I reckon I miss you
and I probably always will
this is so hard to get over
like swallowing a bitter pill...

Aunty Tosin, as I fondly call you ...

The only person who refer to me not just as aburo but "aburo mi Oluwaseun "

I have always known you to be strong but ‍♂️ ....

I will miss our gist in and outside our forums .

You were a passionate and dedicated person to the CORE.

Can I exhaust all your good deeds to me ??? Noooooo ..and the hands of LOVE stretched to my children....

Aunty mi , difficult to say good night to you

Oluwatosin Adeoti Akintan, you fought like a gallant soldier. You came, you saw and you conquered. God created you as a woman but you lived like ten strong men and more all put together. An energetic woman, a woman of virtue, a woman of valor, a soldier, a fighter yet humble to the core. Obinrin firigbon, obinrin akogun. Tosin(with mi do accent) Tosin(do mi), we have been through a lot together. Sharing both the good and bad times. God knows best. May God comfort your husband Tunji, your children Tomisin and Tunmiji. The entire Faculty of Arts, OOU will miss your resilience, hardwork work, dedication and integrity. Aunty Ebun says adieu.

I heard the shocking news from Dr(Mrs) Olabusari yesterday about your demise. Tosin I knew you in Afribank Ijebu-Igbo as one of our customers but I personally had a relationship with you when you took me and my children in to live with you in 1993. When I did not know where and who to turn to, When I was deserted by everyone I knew, including my husband. But God sent you as an angel to comfort me and my kids.
You’re a woman of large heart, you showed me compassion as a single mother of four children. My burdens and problems becomes yours. I can never ever forget what you did. Living with you made me to know your own struggles in terms of education, settlement, marriage, giving birth etc. Your life was full of struggles but you overcame all your challenges because God was with you. Everything came to an end on Thursday June 18th, 2021 at exactly 4am. We love you but God loves you more. May Your beautiful and selfless Soul Rest In Peace. Amen

OMG. Tosin, I am sad to hear about your sudden death. By your death, I lost a gem, a selfless woman. I met you at OOU, in 2001, and we bonded. You made my years at OOU, Ago-Iwoye as President of OOUWA, an unforgettable years. You loved sincerely and participated in setting up of OOUWA CRECHE for our children to the best of your ability. Our Almighty God will take care of your dear children, Tomisin, 8Tunmiji and your husband.
Continue to rest in perfect peace until we meet to part no more in Jesus name. Amen.
Chief (Mrs.) Modupe K. Soyode
Past President of OOUWA

Death where is thy sting. Oh dear Aunty Tosin, you were such a lovely, caring to a vault and willing to give. I remembered when my late husband (Prof Ade Ali) was to be given commendation, how selfless you were to make sure everything were done properly. You stood by us and did your best. Whenever our paths cross with me or my kids, you always extend your hand of love. I have thought a day will come for me to repay your loving kindness unknowingly not like this. I pray the Lord of host will forever abide with your loving husband, children (Tomisin & Tumiji) and make their paths favourable in life. May the light of God accompany you on your journey. Adieu a loving and charitable aunty.

Tosin, I met you when you were in 300 level as my Senior in the Faculty of Arts, Our Departments shared the same floor at Abusi campus. You took delight in taken us through Mr. Alawiye"s course REL 111. With humility, you jettisoned your seniority and started calling me "baba oko mi" the day you knew that I was from Abeokuta. You're always ready to kneel down to greet me as a dutiful wife. You saw yourself and was fully committed into anything and everything from Egbaland. Thank you for being a dedicated and respectful wife and colleague. Tosin, you have left your footprints on an indelible sand of time. You have played your part in the struggle and you are indeed victorious. It is hard to bid you farewell but I have the assurance that you are now in the bossom of your creator. Sleep well Oluwatosin Adeoti omo Sijuade Aya Tunji Akintan.

Dr Akintan,you have played your own role in this unpredictable life. It is my prayers that heavenly father will forgive you of all your sins and accept you into his kingdoms,in Jesus name. Adieu.

You're a beloved person not to miss. From those who appreciate who you were, l know l will miss you if l had known you before death took you away. Men judged you as good. May your soul rest in perfect peace

It is sad that our dear Aunty Tosin has gone...and it is indeed sad that she shall no longer return

You were may teacher and colleague and in every way, you were a superb aunty. Your kind and encouraging words will always be remembered. Your dedication to service will not be forgotten as you always poured yourself into every assignment you were given. You were a true teacher and mentor.

May the Lord preserve your husband, children and all that you held dear

Rest on my sweet Aunty Tosin, till the resurrection morning

Dr Tosin Akintan , your death remain shock to us in OOU, Centre for Continuing Education and community but God knows the best. May your soul rest in peace sister.

shocked beyond words. Sister Tosin, may you find favour with your creator as you meet with Him. I also pray that He will fill the vacuum that your death has created for your Husband, children, family, the faculty, the University and the community at large.
You were such a rare gem !!!!!

As for me, (oro ajoso wa nko? ‍♀️‍♀️️) Oye Olorun si, Odigba oshe.

Sad to be here to write a tribune on one who was not just a colleague, but a sister, a loving and respective one at that.Tosin was indeed a nice lady, from her undergraduate days, and her attitude towards her former teachers, with whom she became a colleague when she joined the Faculty, staff member, never changed. She remained herself, a well- brought up lady.Faculty of Arts will surely miss her, and the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, surely will continue to remember that a benevolent soul passed through her portal, leaving behind an indelible footprints in the enviable sands of time

Sleep on, sleep well, my dear sister,Oluwatosin.It is well

Olabisi Onabanjo University has lost a very industrious, responsible and dedicated staff. Dr. Akintan served the University with all her heart. She once served the Faculty of Arts as SubDean (Undergraduate), and she was at a time a member of the University Academic Ceremonies Committee. She served in several other Faculty and University committees. Until her passage, she was the Acting Head of the Department of Religious Study.
Dr. Akintan accepted responsibilities without complaints and carried out assignments given to her wholeheartedly. Undoubtedly, she has left her mark on the sands of time and made invaluable contribution to the development of OOU. Surely, she will be missed by her students and colleagues. Dr. Tosin Akintan, it is hard to believe that you have gone. RIP.

Aburo, your transition remains a shock to me and will remain so for the simple reason of shared moments when you were here. I know we are all mortals, but it is painful that you have to leave now. I miss you, so much as your Dept., Faculty, the University community and more importantly your immediate family do. For me, it was great to know you and I know that you would continually be on the right side of your creator. Adieu Aburo. May we all be comforted in this period of grief.

May the gentle soul of Aunty Tosin rest in perfect peace and may God comfort the entire family and friends that she left behind.
